You’ll never forget the views from this elevated character cottage in Cumbria’s Coniston. Boasting a terrace that overlooks Coniston Water and The Old Man of Coniston behind you, you’re always going to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening sundowner with the very best views the area has to offer throughout your stay. Inside, the space is relaxing and instantly welcoming, inviting four guests to rest and recharge ahead of thrill-seeking Lake District adventure days. Step out from your doorstep and onto a fell footpath, hiking The Old Man (2.5 miles) in an easy-to-follow or more challenging route, suitable for all fitness levels.
Enter the kitchen/diner where an Aga lends a traditional feel to the space and keeps things warm throughout cooler months. From here, move into the lounge to find another cosy atmosphere with the cushy sofa and armchairs, the warming wood burner and the Smart TV for nights of entertainment. You can also access the multi-level terrace from here, a space equipped with outdoor furniture and a BBQ. Whilst this property sleeps four guests, there are three bedrooms to choose from across the first and second floors, two attractive doubles and one bunk bedroom that kids might prefer. There’s also an en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom on the first floor, the larger of which has a bath for post-hike soaks.
Take the half-mile stroll into the village each day to find cafes, pubs and a spattering of shops worthy of a browse. History buffs will love a trip to The Ruskin Museum (0.5 miles) and a hike up to the Coniston Copper Mines (1.5 miles). The famed lake of Coniston Water is just a short walk away (0.5 miles) and invites you to hike around, take a cruise on the National Trust-maintained Steam Yacht Gondola or even hire a boat to explore at your own pace.
