Cottage to rent (log cabin) in Coniston Water, Cumbria

Accommodation details

Escape to the heart of the Lake District National Park and embrace a holiday in rural splendour, choosing this charming lodge on the cusp of Coniston Water. Sleeping two in comfort, you'll be thoroughly spoilt with a sheltered hot tub for relaxing evenings – the perfect antidote after a day of roaming the countryside.

Golf, fishing and water sports are popular activities nearby, but you'll also have the legendary heights of the Old Man of Coniston to scale if you are feeling really adventurous. Climb the steps and slip inside to find your open-plan living space, a comfortable setting that's perfect for all those nights you'll spend dining a deux at the table or curling up on the sofa to watch a film.

A wood burner-effect electric fire crackles invitingly, providing a sanctuary after you've finished rustling up a feast in the kitchen area. At bedtime, there is a double bedroom with a stylish en-suite shower room. On balmy evenings the decked terrace will prove very tempting for al fresco drinks, plus you'll have your hot tub for a little splash of luxury.

Coniston Water is renowned for its beauty, and how better to take in the mountainous backdrop than from the vantage point of a leisure cruise across the water. A paradise for walkers, there are lots of trails to choose from leading around the edge of the water and beyond. Iconic Lake Windermere is 17.5 miles away, providing opportunities for cream teas and retail therapy in pretty villages such as Lakeside 11.5 miles away and Bowness-on-Windermere 14.5 miles away.

Hawkshead is a delight too with its cobbled streets and array of eateries 9.5 miles away.
