Nestled amongst sweeping countryside just 1 mile from the quintessential village of Coniston, this traditional cottage is an idyllic base for outdoor enthusiasts. Brimming with character and sleeping four guests across two pretty bedrooms, the property is bursting with home comforts such as exposed beams and a welcoming open fire. Discover your surroundings on foot, by bike, or even by boat – taking to the tranquil waters to enjoy a gentle cruise on Coniston Water.
Step back in time from the moment you descend the stone stairs and head inside, noting the beamed ceiling and flagstone floors. The open-plan living space is kept toasty thanks to the open fire, and it has everything you need to unwind in style. Pop on a film, grab the snacks and settle down for a cosy film evening, rounding off with a sumptuous supper around the table. Prepare family feasts in the cheerful kitchen area; in the summer, the garden is a great spot for al fresco dining with a view. Upstairs, the main bathroom has a gorgeous corner bath perfect for long soaks, and you’ll have a choice of two bedrooms – a comfortable first-floor king-size, and a quirky second-floor twin in the eaves of the house. There is parking for one car, but additional space is available nearby, subject to availability.
Satisfy your inner explorer and set off to investigate the scenic trails leading from your doorstep, perhaps venturing to the summit of the ‘Old Man of Coniston’, or staying firmly at sea level with a stroll around the lake. You may recognise Coniston Water for being the site of the ill-fated ‘Bluebird’, but it is also known for its popular village. The village features pretty shops, tearooms and even a fantastic pub/brewery, which attracts beer enthusiasts from all over the UK.
