Front garden with garden furniture. Maximum of 2 dogs accepted. Private parking for 2 cars, 200 yards away. No smoking. Please note: This property is accessed via a rough track.. The moment you step into this charming cottage you get a sense of its age and history, with its exposed beams, uneven floors and creaky floorboards, the cottage welcomes you in. The cosy living room invites you to nestle around the log burner as you warm your tired muscles from a busy days walking in the Lakes. The open plan kitchen/dining area is the ideal place to prepare a picnic as you plan the days adventures or to cook up a hearty meal for the family or friends. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering a bath with shower above.
A short walk takes you into Coniston, which is a lovely little village with a good selection of five pubs, cafés, plus gift shops and convenience stores. If you are looking for outdoor adventure you don’t need to venture far, Coniston Water is within walking distance with day boats available for hire or if you fancy a hike there is ‘Coniston Old Man’ which presents a challenge but rewards with fantastic views.
A few minutes’ drive will find you at the other famous Lake District attractions including Windermere or the lakeside towns of Bowness and Ambleside. There is truly something for everyone within easy reach of Coniston and wherever you go it’s a breathtaking journey. Outdoor enthusiasts can engage in cycling, hiking, climbing or a variety of water sports, thrill seekers can enjoy escape rooms, Go ape, or Segways. Culture vultures can enjoy Beatrix Potter or Wordsworth homes, museums, theatres or cinemas, families can visit the aquarium, Safari Zoo or birds of prey, or maybe you simply enjoy a day at the races or a Michelin star meal. So whether you after complete peace and quiet or an active break you won’t be disappointed. Beach 17¾ miles. Pub and restaurant ¾ mile.

Due to traffic we arrived in the dark after negotiating a very narrow lane to the cottage. I would recommend daylight hours arrival. on entering the cottage it was very cold and not welcoming on further inspection it wasn't very clean the log burner wasn't cleaned out full of ash and debris the oven trays were also not cleaned had to consult YouTube on how to unlock the microwave as no instructions the coffee machine had a used pod in it, overall we were disappointed as we also had to reprogram the tv to the Internet also both TV,s in the bedrooms we couldn't get working so gave up. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and mill cottage is near the bottom of our list. If you have a car as large as ours ( range rover ) be very careful as the allocated parking space is down a small lane and the branches scratched my car. However the cottage is very well equipped and appart from the few bad points we enjoyed our weeks stay. The area is outstanding. Ideal if you are on a walking holiday.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! The place was immaculate and beautiful. Everything was catered for. Really had trouble trying to think of something to write in this box. There was no cake-slice is the best I can come up with.

The directions to the cottage could be improved by adding in driving under the disused railway bridge and turn right.Also inform people that the parking space is - turn right at “the bungalow” along a small track to gate to the parking space.
