  • Idyllically located in the Lake District between Windermere lake and Coniston Water
Property code: OC-91073

Experience a stay in a traditional stone cottage for a memory-making Lake District retreat. Opportunely situated between Coniston and Windermere, this property makes a fabulous base for a hiking holiday, complete with a cosy wood burner to curl up next to at the end of each day. Filled to the brim with traditional design elements and statement soft furnishings, this two-storey holiday home is instantly welcoming and invites four guests to stay. Spend time exploring Grizedale Forest nearby, perhaps taking younger guests to the Go Ape adventure centre that’s just 1 mile away. Alternatively, keep things easy-going with trips to Windermere (13.5 miles) and Ambleside (9.5 miles), beloved Lake District locations with plenty of sought-after amenities.

You’ll enter the bespoke fitted kitchen with a handsome dining table on arrival at this property, letting yourself in from the gravelled driveway that’s just off a country road. After mealtimes, move through into the lovely lounge with plush sofas positioned around a fire and a Smart TV – simply the perfect place to while away an evening. From here, a staircase leads down to the ground floor where two well-sized bedrooms and one family bathroom await. With comfy mattresses and soft linens, you’ll love collapsing into the double or twin beds at the end of each day. Finally, head back upstairs and venture out to the terrace with outdoor furniture and unbeatable views.

Discover plenty of walking opportunities at two of the South Lakes’ most popular bodies of water, Coniston Water (4 miles) and Lake Windermere (5 miles). Both offer regular daily cruises with launches at Coniston (7.5 miles) and Lakeside (6.5 miles), ideal for those who want to admire the scenery without exerting too much energy. From Bowness-on-Windermere (7 miles), another popular Cumbrian town, kayaking or SUP boarding equipment can be rented for another way to explore the water.

A lovely upside down cottage that makes the most of the views. Very well equipped. Warm. Quiet. An added advantage of a local pub so you dont have to cook every night. Basically you could live here.

A lovely, comfortable, modern and well appointed cottage. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside. An added bonus is the outdoor decking area. Plenty of local walks from the cottage and close to many interesting places. A friendly local pub just a few minutes walk away.

The cottage was immaculately clean, lovely decorated and stocked with enough glasses, plates, etc. We really loved our stay here and the views from the livingroom are amazing. Close to Hawkshead and Ambleside and great for trips within the hour to Muncaster Castle, Sizergh Castle, Keswick, and many more lovely places.

Thank you very much for a great stay at Marigold Barn. We thought that the barn conversion was really well designed, and we enjoyed the tasteful and comfortable furnishings, as well as the spacious and well-equipped kitchen. And the weather was kind enough to let us visit all the attractions that we had planned!

Beautiful location. Generally quiet area, although neighbours did leave barking dogs outside! Close to lots of walks/places to visit. High quality furniture and soft furnishings but property is tired and was not very clean. It will have been great when first done but appears to have just been left. Could do with a new kitchen, a deep clean and someRead more focus on speakers/TV and would be great. Outside space is not private as short fence between properties. Currently we feel its not value for money. Hide

The cottage is in a fabulous location, so peaceful with beautiful views to look out onto. Smart TV and fast WiFi. The deck is perfect for sitting out with a cuppa too. Unfortunately there were a few elements that let it down, but these have been fed back to the owners.

The location of this cottage is idyllic. Walks through the forest in every direction. Beautiful, peaceful and gorgeous views from the sitting area.
