Located in Coniston, Cumbria in the North of England, this charming cottage sleeps up to 4 people and offers a picturesque retreat in the Duddon Valley, considered by many to be the most beautiful and authentic valley in the Lake District. Immortalized by William Wordsworth, the River Duddon winds through the valley, passing by quaint hamlets like Ulpha and Seathwaite. Guests can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, from walking and cycling along the numerous paths and tracks, to climbing at Wallowbarrow Crag or wild swimming in the Duddon or nearby Eskdale Valley.
For those seeking adventure, there are options to travel over stunning mountain passes like Wrynose Pass or the challenging Hardknott Pass, with a stop at Hardknott Roman Fort before descending to Eskdale and Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain. Further exploration can lead to Wasdale and the majestic Wastwater, England's deepest lake. The cottage itself boasts a spacious summer room with French doors opening to a patio and garden with stunning views of Coniston Fells. The cozy lounge area features sofas and armchairs set around a coffee table and Smart TV, while the contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with modern amenities including an electric oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher.
