Bank End Lodge

About this property

Bank End Lodge is a lovely semi- detached barn conversion that's full of charm and character, located just 6 miles from Coniston Water and a short drive from the spectacular scenery of the Southern Lakes. Offering high-quality accommodation for 10 people over 3 floors, Bank End Lodge has a hot tub and superb views to the Kirby Fells and beyond. This is the perfect holiday destination for families or groups of friends, or for that special celebration. Enter the spacious living room and you're struck immediately by the incredible views to the fells. There's ample seating, character beams and an electric coal effect fire. The smart TV and DVD player offer a wide range of entertainment. Walking through into the L-shaped kitchen/diner, there's a lovely country cottage feel and a substantial dining table with seating for 10. Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor where you'll find 2 double bedrooms (one with a king size bed, sofa and TV) both with character beams, plus a bathroom with separate shower cubicle, basin and WC and a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. You also have access to the garden and of course those stunning views. On the first floor there's a further master bedroom (with a king size bed, TV and DVD player), a zip link twin bedroom (converts to super king size on request) and a twin with TV and DVD player. Finally on this level there's a family bathroom with a bath, hand basin and WC and a separate shower room, also with hand basin and WC. Outside there's an enclosed garden which is perfect for children and pets with a stunning bespoke seating area crafted from local slate. What gives Bank End Lodge the real wow factor is the hot tub in the garden, which allows you to relax in warm water even in the coldest weather. There's also off-road parking for 4 cars. Grizebeck is a charming little village with a local shop and a traditional 300-year-old coaching inn serving local Lake District ales. There are plenty of walks literally on the doorstep of Bank End Lodge, ranging from the leisurely to the challenging, while nearby Coniston and Windermere are two of the jewels in Lakeland's crown. There's so much to see and do within a 25 minute drive of Bank End Lodge, from the South Lakes Animal Park to the architectural beauty of Holker Hall and Levens Hall. A lake cruise aboard one of the famous Windermere steamers is a must, while Morecambe Bay is just a stone's throw away for a trip to the seaside. The Lake District is home to some of the best fine dining restaurants in Britain, while the hiking, climbing and outdoor activities are second to none.

Whether you're a long time lover of Britain's most popular National Park, or you're discovering the beauties of the Lake District for the first time, Bank End Lodge is the perfect location for a family holiday at any time of year.

Grizebeck sits on the road from Newby Bridge to the Duddon Estuary and is located 6 miles south of Coniston Water and within a 15 minute drive of Lake Windermere, Grange Over Sands, Cartmel and Morecambe Bay. The South Lakes Animal Park, Holker Hall, Levens Hall and Lakeside, where you can enjoy a cruise on Lake Windermere getting off at many popular villages along the way, are all close by to entertain the family.
