Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Coniston

Accommodation details

Set back from the gently lapping shores of Coniston Water and elevated above the sweeping countryside, this former coach house is a romantic haven for couples. Return from your adventures to an al fresco supper of BBQ delights, lighting the candles and marvelling at the breathtaking skyline as it fades into night.

The owners have even provided a welcome hamper brimming with goodies. Follow the tree-lined drive and step down to reach the entrance, pausing to admire the spectacular views from your private patio. Once inside, a set of stairs lead to a gorgeous living space that's a masterpiece of design, filled with natural light, lavish accessories and a delightful wood burner.

Wake up to a delicious breakfast on the decked balcony, sipping your coffee against a backdrop of rolling hills. A cheerful kitchen provides enthusiastic cooks with everything you need to prepare a feast, or simply a place to chill the wine before heading out to eat – the Lake District is a fantastic destination for foodies! Weary and sated, treat yourself to some well-deserved pampering in the shower room before curling up for a restful night's sleep in the elegant bedroom.

There's a BBQ in the garden for al fresco suppers, and you'll have access to shared gym facilities on the ground floor should you wish to exert some energy. Discover an array of adventures from your doorstep, taking to the water on a traditional paddle steamer, or scaling the heights of the quirkily named ‘Old Man of Coniston'.

A honeypot for hikers and climbers, Coniston is a quintessential village with a popular pub, independent shops and eateries. Explore the Coniston Fells, trekking across the craggy wilderness and refuelling with a pit stop for a picnic and flask of hot chocolate with plenty of marshmallows.
