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 Farm

Tinkler Beck Farm, the property to the left in the main picture, and the adjoining Tinkler Beck Cottage, are 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.

Owner Richard has created a beautiful home of the highest quality, befitting the unrivalled location and the Visit Britain's highest star rating.

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

The ambience is modern with light streaming through the arched doorway.

The kitchen is fully equipped and furnished to make a fine dining place.

The sitting room has contempoary sofas and arm chairs drawn to the open fire giving a glow in winter.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, all comfortable, offering two king size doubles and one twin. The bathroom has bath, overhead shower, hand basin and WC, and there is a second shower room downstairs.

The grounds are fantastic. To the front, guests have a private paddock. The courtyard is shared by the other cottages. The vista opens to a magnificent view of the lake and mountain. Down at the lake shore you can picnic and swim in the gentle water, and there are 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.
