Location
A holiday cottage in Coniston takes you away from the busy streets of Bowness, and the sometimes touristy feel of Lake Windermere. This picturesque and peaceful village lies in the west of the Lakes, on the edge of Coniston Water - the Lake District's third largest lake. Overlooked by the dramatic presence of Coniston Old Man - a famous Lake District hike - the lake provides water-borne activities in breathtaking surroundings.
Coniston's Victorian stream yacht gondola and traditional launches offer relaxed, scenic cruises. You'll learn about Donald Campbell's famous water speed record attempt in 'Bluebird', and explore Peel Island which provided the setting for 'Wild Cat Island' in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons.
Overlooking Coniston is Brantwood, historic home of the artist, writer and creative thinker John Ruskin. The house is open to the public and has an excellent cafe, The Jumping Jenny, with superb lake views.
For exploring further afield, a holiday home in Coniston provides a peaceful, picturesque but convenient base. Find Hawkshead and Windermere to your east, Langdale and Grasmere to the north and Ulverston to the south, with manageable journeys by bus or car. For a spectacular scenic drive, head west to the Duddon Valley and follow Wrynose Pass to Eskdale, followed by Hardknott Pass to Little Langdale. Very steep roads but worth it for the scenery!
Please note: Due to the age of the cottage, it has a steep staircase, a step in the kitchen and uneven floors upstairs, therefore Curdle Dub is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

What guests are saying
The single beds were so uncomfortable that a good nights sleep was impossible, the cottage is in need of some TLC it’s in a great location, plenty of hot water and the cottage was always warm, but when you pay a lot of money for a week it would be great to have some decent beds really spoiled the holiday so much so we came home a day early, we would not recommend this cottage on the basis of the beds and that it needs some attention in terms of decoration and new bedroom furniture which is very poor
We have stayed at Curdle Dub many times before, it has always been spotless and well maintained.
You really cannot wish for more. The view from the bedroom window is amazing and a great start to the day. Already looking forward to next year!!
Perfect little spot to explore around Coniston, Hawkshead and Windermere.
The cottage is well equipped for exploring the lakes in all types of weather.
