You will find few places that will give such a deep sense of the power and beauty of Lakelands landscape as the Tent Lodge Estate. Steeped in historical connections it has been home and inspiration to such poets, writers and artists as Turner, Arthur Ransome and Lord Alfred Tennyson.

Today the Estate offers a selection of Lake District holiday cottages to suit all party sizes, set in one of the finest locations in the central Lake District. Here, each cottage is a short distance from the private waters edge, where the view is filled by the high peaks of Coniston’s mountain range, reflected in deep waters.

The Estate lies at the north east head of Coniston Water, in the heart of the Lake District, the properties and grounds set a little above the lake, where a twenty acre meadow sweeps down to the waters edge.

The Estate and Surrounds

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, 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.

Tinkler Beck Cottage

Tinkler Beck Cottage - the property to the right in the main image, and to the left the adjoining Tinkler Beck Farm, are both situated on the west side of the lane on the Tent Lodge Estate. Set around a central courtyard bounded by the three other cottages being Tent Lodge Cottage, Wetherlam and Grizedale, all much envied for a fabulous position so close the lake.

For 2010, owners Richard and Wendy have rebuilt and refurbished Tinkler Beck Cottage as the perfect Lake District Cottage for six, befitting the unrivalled location.

For me it is the combination of style and comfort, coupled with magnificent surroundings in which to both relax and play, that makes this a very special holiday home.

From the private patio garden entrance to the rear of the property, you step into a utility room leading to the large, light filled kitchen - dining room space. The kitchen area is fully fitted with all mod cons, where you will be able to rustle up light lunches and hearty dinners. As a space to dine it is perfect, with its long dining table, French doors and a picture window that looks out over the patio with views of the nearby lake and mountain.

From the kitchen a hall takes you through to the cosy sitting room. Leather sofas sit around a roaring log burning stove, perfect to relax in summer or tuck up in winter with family and friends to pass away an evening, maybe with the latest block buster on the wide srceen TV.

Back to the hall and you have a delightful downstairs double bedroom and opposite a separate downstairs WC.

Up stairs to the first floor and you have a very pleasing twin bedroom, a shower room with basin and WC, a further separate WC and the master bathroom with whirlpool bath, overhead shower, basin and WC. Finally a further flight of stairs opens out into the attic double bedroom.

The grounds are fantastic. The courtyard is shared by the other cottages however to the rear of Tinkler Beck Cottage you have a delightful sunny patio area which looks through to the lake and mountain.

From the main grounds, a short walk through the meadow takes you down to the lake shore where you can picnic and swim in the gentle water and, if required use of the three jetties to moor your own or hired boats.

All in all the cottages of the Tent Lodge Estate offer the perfect holiday, offering guests that rare element of fine accommodation, views of our magnificent mountains, private lake access and all set in the heart of Cumbrias Lake District.
