Located in the heart of the Lake District and high up above the stunning shores of Coniston Water, this historic property promises an unforgettable escape for all guests. Sleeping 8 people in four gorgeous bedrooms, this fantastic lodge was once the subject of one of William Turner’s paintings and has hosted many famous guests. The dramatic views of the lake against the backdrop of the rugged Old Man of Coniston make this holiday feel like you are a world away from ordinary life. Inside, you'll find a superb blend of traditional and contemporary decor that really sets this holiday home apart. Enjoy picnics on the estate’s private lake area, fish for tiddlers or even bring your own sailing boat to moor at the private jetty.
As soon as you step into this property, you’ll feel its unique and luxurious character. The large windows in the lounge offer breathtaking views of the mountains which you can admire whilst you enjoy the warmth from the cosy fire and there is plenty of space for everyone to gather. The kitchen with its separate dining table has everything you need to cook up a delicious meal for everyone. For nights with a bit more grandeur, you can choose the more formal dining space, or on clearer, warmer evenings, why not enjoy a meal outside on the terrace with ambient lighting from the house and the peaceful surroundings creating a true sense of calm. When it's time to settle down for the night, choose any of the six delightful bedrooms, all of which are decorated to in cool, peaceful tones to create places that are restful and inviting.
To make the most of your holiday, why not spend family afternoons on Coniston Water where you can hire paddleboards, kayaks or take a trip on the National Trust’s Victorian steam yacht gondola (1 mile). Children will also love the many walking trails at Grizedale Forest (7 miles) or the tree trail at Fell Foot Park (17 miles) at the southern tip of Lake Windermere. Fans of children's books mustn't miss the opportunity to delve into the World of Beatrix Potter (13 miles), who was once a guest at the holiday property, while any historians in the group might prefer to explore the imposing Wray Castle (7 miles).
