“Fantastic location, beautiful views, well equipped”
This cottage is in a great location with views of Coniston Water and easy for a hike up Old Man of Coniston. The local pub is just a few minutes walk down the back lanes, and it would even be easy to walk into Coniston itself.
Lovely garden, well equipped with everything you need, including a barbecue. We could not have asked for a better place to stay, and we were five adults and a dog.
Details
Shelt Gill is a medieval cruck cottage with dry stone walls, modernised to make a cosy character holiday home. It nestles in the foothills of the Old Man/Walna Scar range and looks out over Coniston Water - with walks from the door to both. It is secluded, but within easy walking distance of the amenities of Coniston Village. Upstairs there is a large living / dining room and small but fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. Downstairs are two bedrooms, one double and one with two or three single beds. A stream forms one boundary of the garden.
