This stunning property, sitting just above the shores of Coniston Water, is ideal for families or groups of friends. Sleeping six over three tasteful bedrooms, this beautiful cottage is an opportunity to relax and unwind in spectacular surroundings. Pack a picnic and stroll through the shared grounds to the estate’s private lakeshore area, watching as people sail and paddle on Coniston Water – you can even bring your own sailing boat and tie it up on the jetty.
This wonderful cottage has the perfect blend of traditional and contemporary decor. Soft lighting and exposed beams in the lounge make for a cosy place to curl up in front of the wood burner on chilly evenings, while glossy cabinets and sleek appliances in the kitchen make it a pleasure to cook up meals. When it’s time for bed, snuggle between the sheets in any of the inviting bedrooms; each one has been thoughtfully furnished and will make your stay feel luxurious. Wake up refreshed and head down to the sunny patio to breakfast alfresco before heading out for the day. If you don’t fancy heading out, take advantage of the walled garden beyond and spend afternoons playing garden games.
Head off to Coniston Boating Centre (2 miles) if you fancy hiring a paddleboard or kayak to use on the lake, or take a more leisurely ride on the National Trust’s Steam Yacht Gondola. Beatrix Potter fans will delight in all the attractions, including her home Hill Top (5 miles) and the World of Beatrix Potter (11.5 miles). Enjoy breathtaking views of the lake from the town of Windermere (10.5 miles); if the kids aren’t quite seeing its beauty, take them on the treasure trail that starts in Bowness-on-Windermere (12 miles) and takes them on a trip to historic and quirky places.
