Overview
Property code: OC-LCC59

Located on the privately owned Atkinson Ground Estate, this property enjoys a peaceful and unspoilt setting. The northeast head of Coniston Water is within easy reach, offering wonderful walks and spectacular scenery. Rugged mountain ranges are ideal for adventurous walkers, though the local area offers plenty for all abilities. After a long day on foot, a visit to the nearby microbrewery and popular pubs are a must, while the local shops are ideal for stocking up on supplies for your stay.

 A charming oak front door opens into an open-plan kitchen/diner, which boasts a delightful blend of traditional exposed beams and contemporary appliances. From here, stairs lead up to the warm and welcoming sitting room with its wood burner, exposed beam, comfortable sofa and TV, perfect for those romantic evenings in. A further stairway takes you up to the king-size bedroom, which has been tastefully decorated in neutral tones and features a decorative fireplace, slanted ceiling and delightful window seat. The contemporary bathroom next door boasts a fabulous whirlpool bath for soothing those achy feet at the end of the day.

Outside a small patio area sits to the front of the cottage, providing a peaceful spot for a summer BBQ or al fresco drink.

Excellent location for a romantic getaway for 2. The cottage was warm and comfy, very welcome with the mixed weather one has come to expect in the lake district.

Lovely stay and great views. Parking a slight issue, really snug but managed with our Toyota Yaris, scrapped the underneath so just need to be aware of the slight drop on moving onto the area. Coniston just a couple of miles down the road with 4 pubs to eat at, as well as a few cafes to choose from. The other thing is you have to use bottled water Read morefor all your consumption as the tap water is only suitable for washing. Hide

A gorgeous cottage in a wonderful location just outside but still in walking distance of Coniston. Really comfortable and cosy, and so well equipped. A home from home.

A very cosy and well equipped cottage in a charming location. The electric radiators do a great job but click loudly when warming, which our dog who slept in the kitchen found alarming in the early hours each morning! Very comfortable bed and superb bathroom.

A nice spacious cottage but the grassed area shown on the photos to the left of the door is actually the neighbors garden so is not accessible therefore the outside space is quite restricted. Parking is not ideal due to the road alongside the cottage being quite narrow however we did manage with a medium sized car (Volvo V60).
