This superb property, situated above the north-east shores of Coniston Water, is the ideal place for an unforgettable friends or family reunion. Sleeping 14 across seven stunning bedrooms, one of which has a stunning copper bath in it, you can enjoy a peaceful and relaxing holiday but still be within easy walking and driving distance of all the places visitors love about the Lake District. Close to Coniston Water, the neighbouring estate allows access to guests of the property to the private lake frontage to launch your kayaks.
As soon as you step into the property, you’ll feel its rustic charm. Original sash windows, wooden flooring and thoughtful furnishings in the lounge make it the perfect spot for chatting the night away with other guests in front of the fire at one end, or the wood burner at the other. A grand dining room down a step with quirky decor, houses a fantastic wooden table to seat everyone so they can enjoy delicious meals prepared in the farmhouse-style kitchen. Upstairs, each bedroom has its own unique style; choose a delicately decorated double or the cosy bedroom with exposed beams, and a bedroom located in the eaves.
Take a ride on the National Trust’s Steam Yacht Gondola (2 miles) over Coniston Water or hire kayaks and canoes to go paddling yourself. No matter your ability, there are walking trails to the peak of the Old Man of Coniston (2.5 miles) so everyone can enjoy the views. Beatrix Potter fans will love strolling around Hill Top (6 miles), her former home, and there’s even a walk you can take to follow in her footsteps to Esthwaite Water. If Wordsworth is more your thing, visit Dove Cottage (10.5 miles) to learn about his life and work.
