Low Arnside Cottage is a dog friendly traditional Lakeland cottage located a short drive from the village of Coniston (3.8 miles) and at over 300 years old is full of character and historic features. Set on a working fell sheep farm, it offers a fantastic opportunity to experience Lakeland farm life. Set down a small single track 400m from the main farmhouse, Low Arnside offers fantastic vistas and a quiet peaceful retreat, in a stunning location.
You enter the cottage into a beautiful wood panelled hallway oozing with character, throughout the cottage there are some low beams and ceilings common with a property of this age. Off the hallway, we have the kitchen, fully equipped with all you could need for your stay. Opposite the kitchen is the large open plan living room with dining table and comfortable seating laid out around the marvellous inglenook fireplace encompassing a wood burner. As an added bonus all wood is supplied for the duration of your stay. This a perfect room to relax and unwind after a days exploring or to enjoy a homemade meal at the dining table. Also on the ground floor is the modern family bathroom, with a large bath, overhead shower and underfloor heating.
As you go up the stairs you can really appreciate the age of this cottage, with latched doors, uneven floorboards and low ceilings which give a magical feeling that you are truly in a cottage steeped in history. Upstairs we have two double rooms and a twin room, each has plenty of storage with a uniquely picturesque view from each window.
Outside we have a fenced off grassed area and picnic table, perfect for enjoying the spectacular views of the surrounding fells and for letting your dogs exercise.
The village of Coniston has plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops providing all you need for your holiday. There are also the water activities and lake cruises with the historic steam yacht gondola launch, which originally launched in 1859.
