Charming riverside mill conversion, dog-friendly, with private lake access - Dipper Cottage, overlooking the beck

The stroll down the lane beside the beck and then through the field down to the lake-shore takes only a few minutes and you will be rewarded with fine views across the lake. Watch out for the ducks, the resident dipper and the occasional heron fishing in the river. You might even spot an otter (we saw one last year). There's plenty of space in the field to let dogs off the lead. Hire one of our Canadian canoes and have hours of fun exploring the lake and the island (Wild Cat island of 'Swallows and Amazons' fame) and enjoy amazing views of Coniston Old Man and the central fells from the middle of the lake.
