Lake District village cottage sleeping 16 guests in 8 bedrooms with 3 hot tubs
Bridge House
Ground Floor A slated entrance leads you into a huge kitchen/dining room, which can seat up to 20. Double hobs, ovens and slate work tops makes catering for big groups easy and hopefully hassle-free! The kitchen is fully fitted with gas range cooker & large hob, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, dryer & fridge/freezer.
The sitting room has ample space for the largest of groups to relax comfortably in. The central focus of the room is the impressive slate log fire, perfect for admiring on a cold winters night. There is also a TV & DVD player to keep the little (and big) ones entertained.
To help keep the living areas tidy the house also benefits from a cloakroom, perfect for wet jackets, boots and bags.
There is also a separate WC, helpful should you just need to nip in from the hot tub.
First Floor There's plenty of room upstairs too, with 4 doubles or twins and all with their own en suite bath/shower rooms.

A couple of stairs then lead into a spacious sitting room with its large leather sofas and armchairs, great for relaxing in front of the TV with its DVD player. A big slate open fireplace creates the perfect focal point, and is most inviting on a cold winter's day.
The dining area has space for six and there are some interesting artefacts around - old farming and riding equipment and even some old skis!

We’d stayed in Coniston previously, but this was a much nicer house, with an unbeatable location.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in Coniston. Helped by some amazing weather which obviously cannot be guaranteed.
