About the host
Hosted by Brad or Sue Thompson
We live in South Cheshire and have spent many happy days around the fells and mountains of the Lake District and Snowdonia. The photo above is us near the Summit of the Old Man after traversing Dow Crag last September, terrific day out.
Why they chose this property
We have always loved the Lake District and especially the quieter unspoilt towns and villages such as Coniston, it is a privilege to be able to spend time and relax in such a community in the midst of some of Britain's most stunning scenery. We worked hard for a year to create a home in the village, during that time we experienced unbelievable help and hospitality and made new friends, this makes Coniston a special place for us.
We have refirbished, decorated and furnished the house as a home as though we were intending to live there and so you should find every comfort needed for great holiday.
You really could dump the car and not need it all week. From the house you can access every level of walk from flat easy trek to serious mountain day out. Just over the hill is Grizedale Forest if mountain biking is your sport. You're only a short distance from all central high fells and within reach of the remote western fells if you want a longer day out. You can easily get back to base camp in Coniston from any of these .
If you really want to visit the hub bub of the big town you can pop up to Ambleside safe in the knowledge that Coniston isn't far away!
The house is 2 minutes from the village centre where you can find the Co op, cafes, bakers, hardware shop and Hutchinsons butcher in the Nisa shop, the home cured bacon is great. There's outdoor shops, news agents and gift shops too, including the famous Honesty Shop selling a variety of hand made products, jam and cakes.
The Spar /garage which sells practically everything is open until 22:00. There are several good pubs in the village centre and more further afield. The Black Bull has a brewery making great real ales including famous Bluebird bitter.
We have a great bakery supplying a whole range of artisan breads.
Saras Indian restaurant is very good. Steam Bistro is excellent "gastro" dining (150m from home) Both are unlicensed so take your own "medicine". Saras is cash only. You must book ahead at Steam.

What makes this property unique
The views from the house and garden are incredible, we find it impossible not to delight at the morning sun lighting up Yewdale Crags when you pull back the curtains, when you step out of the back door you can't help but glance up to the fells. If you sit in the garden you'll undoubtedly end up studying the endless cliffs and crags of the Old Man whilst all the time you will hear Church Beck rushing off to Coniston Water.
The house has every home comfort that you may need from comfortable beds to a range of Bosh appliances. BT super fast broadband allows you to stream movies on the smart TV. Plenty of guide books help you plan your days out.
Hotel quality sheets and towels are provided.
