    “As soon as we drove through the gates at Gable End Cottage and took in those expansive views over looking lake Coniston opened we knew we had booked a special place.”

    Spending a week here is truly relaxing and once we arrived the only sounds we heard all week were that of the local wildlife, which were complemented with the stunning landscaped gardens which were alive with the fiery colour of Autumn when we arrived.

    Spending a week here is truly relaxing and once we arrived the only sounds we heard all week were that of the local wildlife, which were complemented with the stunning landscaped gardens which were alive with the fiery colour of Autumn when we arrived. Inside the property the upside down layout worked for us providing everything we needed for a cosy getaway together. Whether that was watching the world go by from the large bedroom window, sketching by the fireside whilst watching the autumn leaves flutter by the large window or cooking up a storm in the kitchen 'Gable End' proved to be the perfect accommodation. There was also a jacuzzi bath for those days where we had overdone it on the fells and needed to relax. Speaking of relaxing it's not often we can totally switch off but this place achieved this with ease, without feeling isolated. Outside if you can be tempted to leave there is plenty to do. There is a short woodland walk down to Coniston which is about a 3 mile round trip if you go all the way to the centre. For lazier legs it is a two minute drive to Lake Coniston which proved a perfect launch spot for our paddleboard session, local attraction like Brantwood the Home of John Ruskin provided ideal days out as does a quick stroll round Tarn Hows which has fantastic views and can be accessed by all. Coniston itself has kept it's charm never getting overdeveloped and overcrowded like some of the other lakeland towns. We love the many local pubs and always call in the Black Bull for a few Bluebird Bitters and a takeaway pack for home. They also do some decent pub grub at a reasonable price. The takeaway Fish and Chips are nice but be sure to bring cash with you. From Gable End we found we were never stuck for things to do. We had day trips to Hawkshead, Ambleside (Peter Rabbit World is a must) and Hill Top to see where the real magic happened. Finally we just want to say a huge thank you to the owners who on hearing we were going to arrive 2 days late to the property due to recovering from illness agreed to extend our stay for free. It truly was a wonderful gesture and gave us time to recover in a stunning environment. They say kindness is always rewarded hence our glowing review and our intention to book again asap. We can't wait to return Michael and Danni x

Nestling at the head of Coniston Water, the pretty village of Coniston is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Lake District National Park, making it a superb base for touring, with Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere just a short drive away. Superb walking, mountain biking and climbing are available locally on Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam, and the lovely woodland trails at Grizedale Forest. For watersports enthusiasts, the quiet lake is ideal for dinghy sailing and canoeing, whilst the less active can enjoy a leisure cruise on the beautiful steam yacht 'Gondola’, or visit Brantwood, the former home of John Ruskin. Nearby attractions include the award-winning village of Hawkshead, home of the Beatrix Potter Gallery, Tarn Hows, one of the most visited beauty spots in the country and Esthwaite Water, famous for its fishing. A first class holiday location at any time of the year.
