About this property

This immaculately presented first floor apartment is superbly located in the heart of Coniston, in the spectacular Lake District, just five minutes' walk from Coniston Water. Well-appointed throughout to provide contemporary accommodation, this apartment is perfect for a relaxing break in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. The open-plan living area is welcoming and comfortable, and provides the perfect place to unwind after a long day exploring the fells. The spacious king-size double bedroom with views across the village to the Coniston Fells, together with a superb en-suite bathroom complete this delightful accommodation. Mornings can be spent in the small patio area, where you can sit with the paper and a coffee as you plan the day's activities. This lovely property is situated next door to a popular bistro, well worth a visit but early booking is recommended. The thriving village of Coniston has some excellent pubs and even has its own brewery producing Bluebird Bitter, and offers fantastic natural attractions including Lake Coniston where Donald Campbell broke four World Water Speed Records in 1950. His fully restored Bluebird K7 boat is now housed in Ruskin Museum nearby. The Old Man of Coniston offers a stunning backdrop to the village, and there are many walking routes from the apartment leading to Tarn Hows, Tilberthwaite and the charming village of Hawkshead, which has some interesting shops and is home to the Beatrix Potter Gallery. Grizedale Forest is also on the doorstep, and is very popular for mountain biking. This lovely apartment makes an ideal base for enjoying the delights of the Lake District, at any time of the year. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 922442, together they sleep 4.

Nestling at the head of Coniston Water, the pretty village of Coniston is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the Lake District National Park and makes a superb base for touring, with Hawkshead, Ambleside and Windermere just a short drive away. Superb walking, mountain biking and climbing is available locally on Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam, and the lovely woodland trails at Grizedale Forest. For water sports enthusiasts the quiet lake is ideal for dinghy sailing and canoeing, whilst the less active can enjoy a leisure cruise on the beautiful steam yacht 'Gondola'.

    Clean, comfortable and well presented. Excellent shower. Street parking not a problem. 5 star review. A few more glasses, mugs and plates would result in dishwasher being used less frequently. Bath towels are quite small (labelled with another cottage).

  • Hugh

    Shallows nest is perfectly situated for walkers like ourselves,it is close to all the amenities in the centre of Coniston the only problem is that the best pub is the furthest away the Sun at the top of the hill

  • Jane

    Very painful if you bump into them. I packed our towels round them. Also the bottom section of the bedroom window is cloudy, which spoils the view. But never the less, a lovely place to stay.
