    “Stayed here many times and will stay many times more I am sure.”

    As always did not move the car once I had landed, there is no need, everything is close enough in terms of walking distance as long as you come prepared with most things you need. A proper rural retreat and exactly what was needed whilst pondering over a career move. Thank you David and Carol, great hosts as always and for letting this great cottage out for rental. If you like peace and quiet and being off the beaten track, this is the place for you.

    Thank you for your review. Pleased you still enjoyed your stay despite the weather for much of that week. Thank you also for your cooperation in us getting the Openreach engineer back again to finally fix the line issues and getting the new cooker delivered and installed. Hope you have better weather for your next visit. Carol and David Property Owner

The property

A heavenly, cosy, detached cottage in a totally secluded setting.

Full of character, this traditional Lakeland property offers 21st luxury in the beautiful Tilberthwaite Valley.

Situated between Langdale and Coniston, some of the finest Lake District pubs and restaurants are on the doorstep, making Wythebank perfect for a family celebration or extra special holiday. The cottage is located at the end of a single tracked, tarmacked country lane, totally secluded and with ample private parking.

A different walk from Wythbank is possible for every day of your stay.

Many local landmarks are within easy walking distance.

These include: Holme Fell, Cathedral Cave, Skull cav, Tarn Hows, Slaters Bridge, Elterwater, Blea Tarn, The Langdale Fells, Wetherlam, Conitston and Coniston Old Man.

Some of our very fit guests have even walked to and up Scafell Pike and back.

Inside are two welcoming sitting rooms, the first a cosy snug and the second a larger space with superb views.

Both have wood burning stoves and plenty of room to sit and relax.

There is even a piano for the musically minded.

The kitchen is magnificent and equipped with everything the cooks could wish for; a bright and airy dining area is ideal for shared meal and chatting over coffee or a glass of wine.

The handy utility room and shower room complete the tour of the ground floor.

A bathroom and three fabulous bedrooms, with vaulted ceilings are on the first floor.

The bathroom comes with P-shaped bath with shower over.

Outside there are breath-taking views in every direction, a lovely garden with visiting Red squirrels and plenty of place to sit and contemplate the glorious of the surrounding.

The icing on the cake is that up to three pets are welcome to come along and enjoy the seclusion and country walks.

Wythebank is an exceptional property for a very lucky group or family.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

CONISTON

Hawkshead 4 miles; Ambleside 8 miles.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
