About this house rental
About this space
Located near the Southern tip of Coniston Water, the welcoming Swingletree cottage is a wonderful place to relax year round. Enjoy walks from the door into the hills behind with outstanding views. Return to a lovely fire in the woodburner in the winter or a relaxing drink outside in summertime with views over fields to the hills beyond.

Supermarkets
Coniston village is about 5½ miles to the north and the busy little market town of Ulverston is about 9 miles to the south. Both have a good selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, places of interest and tourist information offices.
Local Restaurants
This area is well served by good pubs, including a 14th-century inn at Lowick, which claims to be the oldest pub in the Lake District National Park. The nearest restaurant, pub, coffee shop and Deli is 2 miles away at Torver.
Local Attractions
A favourite short walk from the door is to Beacon Tarn. This walk can be extended to join the Cumbria Way, which begins in Ulverston and passes along the tarn’s western shoreline, continuing past the ancient farmstead of Stable Harvey and on to Torver, bypassing the Old Man of Coniston and on for about 70 miles to Carlisle. Start by turning right up the lane outside the entrance to the property, and then right again at the village hall. After the cattle grid you stay on the lane until you join the footpath after the farm on the left heading towards the tarn. Or just head off into the hills for amazing views! For a lovely simple stroll from the door to the river, turn right up the lane to the end, crossing the main road into Water Yeat lane and then along to the bridge. You can then turn left just after the bridge into the footpath alongside the river and into fields and return by the same route. The Lake Bank Jetty on Coniston Water is half a mile away along the main road and is best reached by car or bike when the road is busy. This is a great place for a swim or to launch a canoe, or go wind or paddle boarding. There are parking areas beside the road alongside Coniston Water. You can also walk there indirectly by taking the paths over the hills behind the property, as detailed above. Access to the boating centre on Coniston Water is about ½ mile from Coniston village. Boats can be hired and trips on the launches or the steam yacht Gondola can be taken.
