This charming cottage is packed with character while extensive refurbishments works ensure modern comforts and luxurious touches are to be found throughout.

Upstairs, each of the individually designed 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms offer guests a comfortable and stylish place to rest their heads after a busy day exploring the local area.

Outside guests can enjoy the use of the cottage's extensive gardens which include terraces, lawns and woodland and where you will discover wonderful places to dine, play or simply to sit and soak up the atmosphere of this unspoilt setting.

It terms of location, Thwaite Cottage enjoys the very best of both worlds, an idyllic position tucked away down a country lane, away from the hustle and bustle of Coniston yet with the village's pubs, restaurants and shops still within easy walking distance.
