Nestled above the shores of Coniston Water on a small country estate, this charming property promises an unforgettable escape to guests. Sleeping six across three gorgeous bedrooms, this beautiful barn conversion is an opportunity to get away from it all and make the most of staying in the heart of the Lake District. Spend afternoons fishing off the estate’s private lakeshore area, tucking into your picnic in between, or even tie up your own sailing boat on the jetty so you can set off onto the lake whenever it takes your fancy.
This delightful cottage is brimming with character; exposed beams and stone and carefully placed furnishings create a perfect blend of the traditional and the contemporary. Glazed French windows separate the lounge and kitchen creating a bright and airy space; the wonderful inglenook fireplace in the lounge houses a wood burner with comfortable sofas surrounding it for a cosy night in, while rustic tiling in the kitchen creates a stylish contrast with the glossy dining table. If it’s sunny, dine alfresco on the patio before heading to the paddock for some family games. You’ll soon be ready to snuggle into bed; get a great night’s sleep among peaceful decor to prepare you for the day ahead.
Coniston Boating Centre is just 2 miles away and is perfect if you fancy getting out on the water via paddleboard or kayak. But if you’d rather sit back and relax, the National Trust’s Steam Yacht Gondola can take you on a ride. Visit Kendal (19 miles) for lots of independent shops and cafes – make sure you sample some famous Kendal mint cake! Children will delight in the interactive exhibitions at the World of Beatrix Potter (11.5 miles), while older fans might prefer to wander around Hill Top (5 miles), her former home.
