With a brand new kitchen for 2023, Byre Cottage is a cosy and characterful abode set on a traditional Lakeland hill farm overlooking the beautiful Woodland Valley.

Just 10 minutes' drive from Coniston village. Lovingly reconstructed from the original 17th century byre, the Byre Cottage offers cosy yet comfortable rooms with rustic exposed beams, log fires and countryside views.

Access to the cottage is gained through the main farmyard, dotted with blossoming flowers during the spring & summer months.

The Byre Cottage is perfect for those looking to experience a glimpse of traditional Lakeland life. Sleeping 6 guests comfortably, the cottage can also be booked alongside neighbouring Millers Cottage which together can accommodate up to 12 guests. A great base for families, outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers and those wishing to simply switch off from the busy day-to-day.

Ground Floor
Traditional Lakeland porch opens into entrance hall, from here guests can access the cosy cottage sitting & dining room complete with Lakeland stone fireplace and smart TV. French windows open from the sitting room to the rear paved garden, offering panoramic views over the Woodland valley.

Just off the sitting room is the kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, electric cooker, fridge/freezer & washer/dryer.

There is also a small shower room with WC on the ground floor.

The yard to the front of the cottage is perfectly positioned to catch the midday and evening sun, from here you are welcome to sit, relax & simply watch the world go by.

Footpaths from the farm give direct access onto the nearby hills & across the valley.

There is open access to the neighbouring field, perfect for tiring out your canine companion (The owner Peter will let you know which field is best).

Local Activities

Woodland, Torver and the Duddon Valley, a beautiful and tranquil area well worth visiting and exploring. The landscapes here have changed little over time, with farming and forestry still very much in evidence. In springtime the nearby woods that dot the landscape are carpeted with wild garlic and scented bluebells, and away from the noise of the traffic the wildlife and bird song can be truly appreciated.
The area is very popular with walkers and cyclists of all abilities who enjoy escaping the central Lakes crowds. Peaks such as the Old Man of Coniston, Caw Fell and Greyfriar can all be accessed from the area. Should you be looking for something a little less challenging then the idyllic Lickle Valley, the Dunnerdale Fells and Beacon Tarn are all popular walking spots.

We stayed in the cottage six years ago and it's been gorgeous being back. The new decor is lovely and we've LOVED seeing Roy [the dog] again - he's given us cuddles and licks every day. We've had an idyllic week with beautiful weather - can't wait to come back again, hopefully soon! Thank you!

Lovely cottage suitable for our party size (6 adults & 2 infants), in a great location not far from all the key Lake District sights and nicely outside of the busy tourist villages. Great, helpful and friendly host.

We had an amazing week here with glorious sunshine and blue skies. What a fantastic part of the Lake District this is! It feels hidden away and surprisingly quiet. We usually do high level walks but this time it;s been water-based with shady forest walks. The younger members of the family enjoyed Go Ape. The cottage was excellent. We had a very comfortable stay. Thank you!
