Rowlandson Ground Cottage
Rowlandson Ground Cottage is at High Water Head, up above Coniston Water. It's semi-detached and very old, from 1640. It was a monk's retreat originally. You get the feel of that with the stone floors and beams.
It sleeps four. Two bedrooms, one bathroom. It's a 4 Star place. It's comfortable and has character, but it's not a show home. The stairs are worth mentioning: they're steep and narrow in parts. Just take your time.
The setting is the main thing. There's a path through the woods right from the garden that takes you down to the lake shore. It's quiet up there. You're in the middle of the Lake District National Park. Coniston village is about two miles down the road for a shop or a pub.
You're well placed for walking. Tarn Hows is a mile away, and it's a lovely spot. Grizedale Forest is right behind you. It's good for walks, and there are sculptures scattered through the trees. For a bigger trip, you can get the ferry across Coniston to get over to Windermere without driving all the way around.
Facilities: there's a woodburning stove, which is good for cooler evenings. Also a dishwasher, wifi, TV, and parking. Bedding is included. No pets, I'm afraid.
