Swallows & Amazons cottage - Stable

Off the beaten track, our farm has lake frontage, stunning views and oodles of character. Relax and unwind in comfortable surroundings, we provide breakfast/lunch & dinner and plenty of activities from kayaking and mountain biking. The Stables is one of the six self catering cottages on the farm. It has three bedrooms - one double poster bedroom, one twin bedroom (with zip and link beds that can be turned into a massive double bed) and one single bedroom. The minimum stay is three nights and changeover days are Friday and Monday. Idyllic for both couples searching for a romantic getaway and families looking for a one stop shop - sleep, eat and play! Our farm (Bank Ground) known as Holly Howe in Arthur Ransome's famous children's book Swallows and Amazons, is the perfect location for a break - B&B and self catering cottages (sleeping up to 60). With private lake frontage and sensational views, we offer lovely walks on the farm, but should you wish to venture further a field then hire a rowing boat or kayak and have a paddle on the lake right here from the farm. Or hire a mountain bike (trailer available also) and explore Grizedale forest - UK's most famous mountain biking area that is right on our door step! Even though the cottage is self catering you are more than welcome to join us for breakfast, lunch and dinner (please book in advance) or if you prefer to have a roam then we can advise you on the best local restaurants. We provide meals, activities and advise should you want them, but your here to unwind so we like to leave you to it and let you find us in the farmhouse kitchen if you need anything! The east side on Coniston Water is unique in it's beauty and views. We are lucky to be off the beaten track so if what you are looking for is the real Lake District then look no further.
