This super cottage lies  in the grounds of Townson ground, a group of some six privately owned holiday homes.

The area was much favored by such literary lights as Tennyson, Turner and later Arthur Ransome, author of the much loved childrens series of novels The Swallows & Amazons. Each drew inspiration from the surrounds where the views give a deep sense of the power and beauty of the Lake District landscape.

The cottage has access to private, shared lake shore and jetties. Cross the lane and down through a meadow there are three jetties which for a small fee guests may moor their own boats or hire rowing, sailing or powered boats from the Coniston Boating Centre. With eight hundred yards of shore line to explore and the whole lake to muck about on, in and by, you have the ideal recipe for the perfect Lakeland holiday.

The village of Coniston lies about a mile and half around the lake, a mostly flat walk, offering shops, cafes and a number of good pubs serving locally brewed ale.

From the village, tracks lead up through the old coppermines valley and to the foot of Coniston Old Man, where the hearty can make an attempt to the 2635 ft summit and view never to be forgotten.

For me this is a super cottage for two, ideal for honeymoons, romantic breaks and summer holidays. Built in a traditional style but with all mod cons, including a Jaccuzzi garden hot tub, the cottage is contemporary in its decor and designed for easy living and comfort.

Surrounded by its own large garden there are views of Swirl Howe, one of the craggy peaks that form the Coniston Mountain Range.

You step into a good sized open plan living space. To one end is a fully fitted kitchen area with quality German units and polished granite stone surfaces, offering all you need to rustle up your favourite recipes.

The sitting room area sits under a pitched ceiling, with a roaring log burner to add a bit of atmosphere in winter months. French doors open to the main garden area where you can enjoy and drink, enjoy the view and relax and unwind in the *Jaccuzzi Spa tub. For added ease the owner provides extra towels and robes for your comfort and spa experience.

The bedroom is very comfortable with a king sized double bed and pretty furnishings. The bathroom is a good size with bath, overhead shower, basin and WC.

All in all this is a fabulous cottage set in a perfect location at the heart of the Lake District, perfect for exploring the National Park, relaxing in and around the cottage, all with the added benefit of lakeside access.
