Escape to solitude with this charming 1850s cottage, idyllically positioned up a short single-track lane for ultimate privacy. This quaint property sleeps four and a dog, and is the ideal family base for discovering the gorgeous north-west.

Exposed beams and tiles are paired with neutral decor, and the traditional aesthetic is a constant reminder that you’re on a countryside break, while the exposed flooring in the kitchen and living area means no worrying about messy paws! Relax into the comfortable sofas and watch the wood burner flickering away whilst catching up on your favourite show on the TV or sitting down to a good book, no doubt with a furry friend tightly curled up next to you. The functional kitchen adopts the same natural wooden themes and is well-equipped for feeding the entire family. A dining table has space for four to sit down to an evening meal, while your four-legged friend sniffs for crumbs. Upstairs, a roomy master bedroom boasts a double bed and a comfy armchair while in the rafters, the twin bedroom has restricted head height, perfect for your little ones. To the rear, a private garden is enclosed in bright green hedges so you can sit and enjoy the summer evenings whilst your pup has free reign of the garden.

Half a mile away, the village of Coniston sits under the shadow of the Old Man of Coniston, a legendary Lake District fell with many walking routes guaranteed to offer plenty of fetching fun for your four-legged pal. The property is 14.5 miles from Lake Windermere, a must-see for every Lake District holiday. Just 4 miles away is the glorious beauty spot of Tarn Hows where you can walk through thick woodlands, where plenty of sticks are waiting to be thrown, and enjoy views towards Wetherlam, the Helvellyn range and the Langdale Pikes.

Park Gate Cottage is wonderful cottage. It is very clean, has a well equipped kitchen and easy to keep warm. The location is great, just a 15-20 min walk into Coniston on a path next to the cottage away from the main road. There are other walks you can go on straight from the cottage as there are several footpaths next to or very close to the cottaRead morege. I would happily return to Park Gate cottage if I wanted to stay in the Coniston area again. Hide

Lovely cottage in a great location. Coniston has plenty of pubs, shops and cafes and great access to the lake. Lovely walk along the length of the lake from Torver to the Coniston Inn

A lovely, cosy, warm cottage. A nice bathroom. The stairs to the first floor we very steep, however, they were carpeted, and we were able to keep our dog downstairs thanks to the door in front of the staircase. The small enclosed garden helped with the dog. The owners were very helpful when we had a couple of queries. Nice neighbours. The cottage iRead mores situated in a lovely, quiet spot. We were able to walk to Coniston along a nice off-road track. Hide

Lovely clean cottage for our family of three. The house itself is ideal for returning to after a long walk and the location is perfect for all walks around coniston without the need to drive out first. Highly recommended.

Bit disappointing, as had lot of good reviews. The living area is very small, just big enough for 2 of us and a lab, wouldnt want to share it with another 2 adults. Stairs to first floor very steep and narrow tread so had to come down sideways. Neighbours door is at 90degrees to kitchen window so not very private, also the constant comings and goinRead moregs meant our dog barked every time he saw someone at the window. Its an old cottage and everything inside felt a bit old. Hide

This is a beautiful little place - 2 good sized bedrooms as described with modern bathroom. There is a well equipped kitchen, although remember your own tea and coffee! We found it was a perfect distance from a Coniston with nice walk into town or quick drive.

Park Gate Cottage is a pretty country cottage equipped with everything you would need. We had a lovely week based in Coniston and there are plenty of walks right from the door.. Theres a safe footpath at the end of the lane that takes you into Coniston in about 15 minutes. The nearest pub is less than 10 minutes from the door. The village has severRead moreal pubs offering lovely food and a warm atmosphere. The lake is beautiful and very accessible. Well be back soon. Hide

We (3 adults and a 12 y-o) had a lovely stay - the cottage had pretty much everything. We didn't need to use the car on several days, walking up to the fells and to Coniston from the door. Cottage has a great collection of books about Lakeland villages and walks along with maps. Great base for Lakeland holiday.

Quaint cottage which from the bedroom gives views to Coniston Lake. 10 minute off/lead dog walk to excellent local pub. 15 mins on same route and youre in Coniston. Location excellent. Pretty house, everything we needed. It was a little tight for 4 adults and two dogs, but wed definitely return as a couple with the dogs.
