Guardswood Cottage

About this property

Nestled just outside the centre of Coniston in the Lake District National Park, Guardswood Cottage is a delightful, three-storey cottage surrounded by countryside. The property is set over three floors with a beautifully appointed, open-plan living space and idyllic views, making it an ideal base for two couples or a family of five to explore this wonderful region. Find off-road parking in front of the cottage to securely leave your car and unload your luggage; a handy porch/utility immediately welcomes you after rural walks to kick off your boots and throw muddy clothes into the washer and dryer. Climb the stairs to the first floor living area to rustle up home-cooked meals in the contemporary kitchen, a well-equipped and styled space with sleek, dark cabinets. Characterful exposed beams hang overhead with Velux windows bringing in plenty of natural light, whilst the windows look across to Coniston village and mountains; the perfect views whilst you tuck into a delicious breakfast at the rustic dining table! Settle into the large, cushioned corner sofa in the sitting area in front of the woodburning stove and choose a film to watch on the Smart TV for evening entertainment, whilst a selection of books are available to quietly curl up with a good read. The contemporary, ground-floor bathroom welcomes you for a relaxing bubble bath before choosing between one of three bedrooms; two king-size bedrooms lie on the ground floor, one of which has an en-suite shower room, whilst a snug single bedroom in the second-floor attic is the perfect little hideaway for a younger guest! Although on the first floor, the living area has direct access to the large, shared gardens to make the most of the picturesque vistas; why not sip your morning coffee in the peace and quiet, whilst the sheep gently graze in the neighbour field? With the delights of the Lake District on your doorstep, book an unforgettable stay at Guardswood Cottage. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1091970 together sleeping up to 19 guests.
