Ground Floor
A typical Lakeland porch invites you into the property and doubles up as an ideal place to leave your walking boots.
There's even a stone bench to help.
The living room is full of charm and character.
There's a beamed ceiling, massive stone hearth with real fireplace, big slate flags covered with rugs & a big cosy leather sofa - ideal for curling up in front of the stunning fireplace, listening to music via the CD player or watching the large Smart TV. Up a couple of steps is a separate raised dining area with oak detailing.
By contrast there is a modern galley kitchen, with handcrafted slate worktops, big gas range, dishwasher, fridge & microwave. First Floor From the living room, there's a hidden narrow stairwell that leads you up, past the pictures of Herdwick sheep, to a landing with low beams (mind your head!). Bedroom 1 - magnificent double 4-poster bed with dressing area & en-suite bathroom with walk in shower & WC. Bedroom 2 - king size bed or twin 2'6" single beds Modern house bathroom with shower & WC. Outside Adjacent to the cottage is a beautifully designed and spacious terraced cottage garden.
This private hideaway is a lovely spot to while away the evenings and catch the last rays of sunshine.
The lower part of the garden offers a place to wander and admire the local slate structures dotted around whilst the upper area offers an abundance of seating areas amongst the shrubs.
Beautiful lake views across to Coniston Water, and the green hills of Grizedale beyond, can be enjoyed from the highest level while a stone culvert through the garden wall provides the sights and sounds of a running water feature. Hand painted signs draw your attention to the lockable bicycle storage area which can fit up to 4 bikes.
There is also a dog kennel area, should you need to keep an eye on your four legged friend.
For fans of mud, an external water tap is readily available, handy for washing off and cleaning up. Complementing the property is a bright and modern heated utility room, complete with washer, dryer and freezer.
This room also contains a useful drying rack, perfect for hanging up wet clothes after a day exploring. Travelling with a dog? We can offer free use of a 1 acre field in Coniston village.

From its original slate flagstone floors to its beamed ceilings, Bowmanstead Cottage is simply packed with Lakeland character at every turn. Enjoy days spent exploring the pretty cottage garden and cosy evenings in front of the magnificent stone fireplace. It's no wonder Bowmanstead Cottage is firm favourite of guests looking to stay in the beautiful Coniston area.
Hidden away up a quiet lane past and next to the Ship Inn, just south of Coniston, is this C18th farmhouse. Now a beautifully refurbished quintessential cottage, where traditional meets modern.
The cottage has been lovingly cared for by its owners who have managed to create a warm and welcoming base for any who choose to rest their heads here. Lakeland prints adorn the walls and antique furniture complements the property's quirky character. Upon entering all who visit will benefit from its 'home from home' feel. Perhaps an outcome of the small homely touches lovingly chosen by the owner, which appear in every room.
If it's the outdoors you crave then footpaths & cycle ways are close by, going down to the lake for the Cumbrian Way, or into the fells and The Old Man of Coniston. There's also a fantastic large garden available, perfect for lazy days and summer evenings! This cottage is a must for diehard romantics, friends, families or those seeking outdoor adventure straight from the doorstep.

This is probably the best cottage ever (!) in which me and my partner stayed. We loved the stylish furniture (the modern shower, the romantic bedroom, the fireplace and all the antique elements of the house, such as the floor and the fireplace. The garden with its flowers, the different seatings and...

Great country cottage with all the quirks and endearing features you would expect complimented by contemporary kitchen and bathroom. Perfect for the 3 of us and ideally positioned to get out and about. Not having to cook and nip next door to the pub was a bonus.
