About this property

An outstanding, detached house in tiny Haws Bank, close to the centre of Coniston. Offering first-class accommodation over three floors, this cottage boasts contemporary styling, a spacious living room, woodburner, vaulted ceiling with lovely old beams, a modern kitchen and beautiful bedrooms with en-suite facilities. Extra touches such as underfloor heating and a spa bath create a luxurious cottage of real style. Outside, the garden of this superb cottage is set over two tiers, with dry stone walls built by local craftsmen providing a lovely space to relax and listen to the babbling beck that flows past. The cottage is set in a quiet, peaceful location with lovely views of the countryside and magnificent 'Old Man of Coniston'. The local fells provide superb walking, while Coniston Water offers sailing and leisure cruises. A great retreat to get together in this outstanding cottage.

Coniston is a lovely village set at the tip of Lake Coniston, in the midst of spectacular mountain scenery, in the Lake District National Park. Coniston has a number of amenities, and is the ideal base for a variety of outdoor pursuits. There is superb walking and climbing on Coniston Old Man, and watersports enthusiasts will enjoy dinghy sailing, canoeing or simply sitting back and relaxing on the steam gondola which crosses the lake. The attractions of the lakes are on the doorstep, including Hawkshead, the Beatrix Potter Gallery, Ambleside and Windermere.

    On the Skyes information it’s says no tea towels and take your own beach towels. There was loads of tea towels and bedding but no towels. As the other guests had started their journey I had to take towels for 3 people. In the owners book it says no towels supplied. Very unusual and inconvenient on the day of travelling. The Sykes website details should say that if that is normal for this cottage

  • Carolyn

    It was very well equipped. Loads to see in the surrounding area and to do for the little kids. Just one gripe the wi fi obviously we were out during the day because of the nice weather but I'll bet that's what is putting people off coming to your lovely cottage.

    Clean and well equipped. Need mattresses on all beds replacing for a better night's sleep.
