This immaculately-presented apartment, Low Dow Crag, is situated on the ground-floor of a semi-detached property in an outstanding location, close to Coniston in Cumbria. Boasting breath-taking views of the fells and open countryside, including that of the Old Man of Coniston, this delightful property is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller wishing to visit and explore all that this area has to offer. Inside this lovely apartment there’s a spacious open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area with a gas coal-effect stove, as well as French windows that open out to the patio, from where you will be able to admire glorious views and birdlife, including woodpeckers. The patio is a perfect spot for a morning coffee with a newspaper or local map as you decide on the day’s activities, or for unwinding with a glass of wine in the evening, after which a place to rest can be had in the double bedroom. Coniston has a number of pubs, cafes and shops, as well as its own brewery producing Bluebird Bitter, which is named after the boat that broke the water speed record by Donald Campbell in 1950. You may wish to decide to take a water cruise on one of the steamers, relax and enjoy the stunning scenery of the fells, or visit Brantwood, the home of John Ruskin, which is on the other side of Coniston Water. Local hiking and walking are in abundance from the Old Man of Coniston to the surrounding fells of Dow Crag and Yewdale, plus the famous beauty spot of Tarn Hows is close by. A short drive away from the apartment is Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere and Grasmere making Low Dow Crag the ideal touring base for exploring the Lake District National Park and beyond.

The pretty village of Coniston is situated at the head of Coniston Water, surrounded by beautiful scenery in the Lake District National Park. A walk through the village will find a delightful selection of independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants where you can grab a delicious pub lunch and a brewery for sampling the local ales.
