This spectacular area has welcomed and inspired many renowned guests including Beatrix Potter and Arthur Ransome (author of ‘Swallows and Amazons’), Tennyson, the Victorian Poet Laureate and the painter William Turner. The awe-inspiring scenery of idyllic Coniston Water with its backdrop of the rugged Coniston Old Man mountain range will make any stay extra special. A real treat for the adventurous, this lovely holiday home is ideally placed for all the attractions and outdoor activities on offer in this glorious corner of the UK but is equally perfect for those who just want to soak up the peace and quiet and relax.

The Boating Centre is a great place from which to hire boats, take boat trips on the famous Gondola (a Victorian steam yacht) and Launches or just simply feed the ducks and enjoy an ice cream.

This small but perfectly formed cottage is perfect for two but works equally well if you want to bring a child. From the garden, step into the cosy lounge, which offers a plump sofa and comfy armchair to sink into after a long day of exploring the local area. Traditional deep set windows let natural light spill into the room and offer views of the garden, lake and mountains. With TV, DVD player and a woodburning stove you’re all set for a restful stay in this lovely holiday home from home. Through the lounge, you find the kitchen/diner.

We had a really lovely stay at Wetherlam and it was kind of the owners to provide some welcome treats! What a stunning location with a wonderful garden with views and private access directly to the lake for swims. We had quite a wet week, so found it tricky to dry our clothes and walking boots, so it might be worth the owners considering providing Read moresome form of drying facilities, but otherwise the cottage had everything we needed.

What a week! A gorgeous property in a stunning location. We had the best week and were lucky with the weather. The cottage had everything that we needed. With just a short walk to the lake edge, we spent every afternoon down there. We could not fault our stay, so peaceful, relaxing and a total switch off from everyday life. Definitely a property weRead morell stay again at! Hide

Lovely cottage in a great location. Immaculately clean and very well equipped. Spent a week there in July. The private lake access with 3 jetties was great for our paddle board/ kayak, and just 2 minutes walk from the cottage. Fabulous location with views over Coniston water and Coniston old man in the background. Would definitely recommend.
