This property is one of six cottages and houses situated on the north-west shore of Coniston Water in the beautiful Lake District. The lake is an excellent place to enjoy a host of watersports and activities ranging from kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, to sailing and motorboating. The mountainside landscape around the lake naturally lends itself to a range of land-based pursuits, ranging from climbing and hiking at the Old Man of Coniston to gorge scrambling and mountain biking. For a more leisurely day trip, take a cruise on the National Trust owned Victorian steam yacht which runs around the lake, departing from Coniston Pier.

On arrival at this semi-detached property, guests will find a warm welcome awaits in the lounge, a delightful room with wooden floors, a warming wood burner, and a Smart TV. The kitchen, meanwhile, is a sunny room finished in a farmhouse style and equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer box, coffee machine, and dishwasher. The property has two attractive bedrooms, the first of which is a double room which has been thoughtfully finished with pretty, decorative touches and offers its own Smart TV. The second bedroom is a peaceful twin room, which has been finished in the same attractive style as the master bedroom. Bathroom with a walk-in shower and WC.

Outside, the property benefits from a fantastically spacious garden with a long lawn and a walled patio seating area, where guests will find garden furniture, which makes it a wonderful spot to enjoy alfresco drinks as the sun goes down. There is private parking available for two cars and a private store room, for guests use with an additional freezer, space for bikes, two kayaks or a canoe.

We have stayed at the Garden House twice, its perfect for a small family getaway, the best equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in with lots of lovely little touches to make you feel welcome and also fully functioning from day one which takes the stress out of travelling with a family. The area is beautiful, its quiet & the garden is safe and Read morelarge enough for children to play. The walk into Coniston is just 25mins, the lake you can be there in under 10mins, its idyllic, we will be back. Hide

Very comfortable cottage, well furnished and equipped. We were just two - son and elderly mum - to accommodate four would be a squeeze unless all four rather small, tidy and well-behaved. The cottage is closer to neighbours than we expected but there was very little disturbance from the young family next door. Unfortunately our week was extremely wRead moreet and windy so we were indoors more than hoped. The good TV and wifi helped. The small garden is lovely, with a view across the fells. Hide
