Property code: LCC76

Retreat to The Lakes and sleep soundly at this charming cottage, just a few hundred yards from the centre of Coniston village. Recognised by Visit England, this inviting home is a fantastic place to explore the lakes and fells from, especially if you want to go car-free for a few days as there is plenty of things to see and do within walking distance. Sleeping eight people and two dogs, you can bring everyone together here for a holiday to remember.

The route to this property is exceptionally scenic, and even as you drive through the gates and into the large courtyard you are greeted by greenery and pretty plants. Stepping inside, you'll find it's bright and airy throughout. Downstairs is the lounge, kitchen, dining room, and utility room, as well as a shower room for freshening up after a day of adventure. The lounge is a cosy space which welcomes everyone to gather around the fire and enjoy each other's company; you can also step out onto the raised decking through the French doors in this room to admire the spectacular views. This house has truly considered the needs of large groups, which is prevalent in the layout of the kitchen and how well-equipped it is for guests preparing big meals. Take your morning coffee at the breakfast bar, eat dinner together in the adjoining dining room, and load the dishwasher afterwards for a hassle-free cleanup. Upstairs, there are four comfortable bedrooms, one king-size, two twins and a bunk bedroom. There is a spacious family bathroom featuring a shower over bath - ideal for when you need to lock yourself away for a moment of solitude in a relaxing bubble bath. A decked balcony wraps around the back of the house, so you can take in the sublime scenes from an elevated position in the fresh air. Drop down onto the decked area for a BBQ and make use of the outside seating area, where children can play on the sprawling lawn while staying within view.

Coniston is a village steeped in a history of quarrying and mining. Today however it is a picturesque place with a small, but good selection of shops and wholesome pubs. Many call the village the heart of The Lakes due to its convenient location. It's popular with walkers, climbers and those that enjoy getting out on the water. Coniston Boating Centre offers canoes, rowing boats, motorboats and small sailing crafts for you to hire if you're looking for an exciting way to venture onto the water and explore the coves in style. Trek the well-worn paths that snake up to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston for views that will reward your climbing efforts. On the east shore of Coniston, you'll find Grizedale Forest, a vast managed woodland with trails that will delight explorers as there is a lot to discover on the route.
