Sleeping up to 14 guests, this grand 16th-century property is the perfect country bolthole for large family get-togethers or reunions with friends. Of course, no getaway is complete without your furry friends coming too, so bring Fido and Mutley to explore the picturesque Lake District, with incredible walks from the doorstep. During your stay, make use of the private lake frontage owned by the nearby estate, exclusive to guests, and enjoy easy access to the many areas of the shoreline open to the public.
The picture-perfect property offers plenty of space for the whole party to relax and dine together as well as to enjoy a little peace and tranquillity away from everyone. Unwind in the sitting room, which features original sash windows and wooden floorboards, with cosy rugs, a wood burner and an open fire turning it into a cosy haven. From here, step down into the grand dining room, where a long rustic table sets the scene for large group dinners, prepared in the spacious kitchen across the lobby. On warmer evenings, why not dine alfresco in the sunny garden and enjoy the fresh air and Coniston mountain range views as the dogs go mutts for the open space. After all the excitement, retire to the first floor where all seven bedrooms are located, including a beautiful double bedroom that boasts a stylish alcove and magnificent copper bath - perfect for soothing any aching limbs after a day of exploring.
Explore the nearby Grizedale Forest (6 miles) with its plentiful woodland trails for walking, cycling, and a game or two of fetch. Two of the area’s most iconic spots - The Old Man at Coniston and Coniston Water - lie within easy reach (2.5 miles and 2 miles respectively), with the latter boasting water sports that will keep any thrill-seeker entertained.
