A stunning and luxurious traditional farm house with three en suite bedrooms, gorgeous views and delightful cottage garden.

Just up from the centre of the village of Coniston there's a perfectly picturesque cottage, which is really something special. Dating from 1762, it is a quintessential Lakeland home, complete with superb views and delightful cottage garden with stunning mountain views.

In Dixon Ground Farm, traditional and classic features have been combined with luxurious furnishing and stylish finishes to create a beautiful holiday home which oozes quality throughout.

The cottage has been lovingly cared for by the owners and their adoration for the farm house is apparent throughout. All who visit will instantly feel 'at home' here and may find it hard to leave behind. Benefitting from a myriad of comfortable and rooms with sumptuous furniture and cosy log burners, this exceptional cottage makes the perfect base for a family of six, couples or a group of friends.

Ad if it's the outdoors of the Lake District you crave, then footpaths & cycle ways can be found from the doorstep, leading into the fells and The Old Man of Coniston. In essence Dixon Ground Farm is comfortable, effortlessly stylish, well located and simply charming.

Ground floor
Entering through the back door takes you first into the old world, the slate-flagged original kitchen space which is now a great dining area, complete with country dresser, generous oak dining table and original beamed ceiling. But look to your left and there's the C21st - a beautifully modern kitchen, which was refurbished early 2015 with views over the village one-way, or up to the Yewdale crags the other. This beautiful kitchen is adequately equipped with electric oven & induction hob, microwave, fridge & freezer & dishwasher.

A small hallway leads to the generous family sitting room, warm and inviting with its ceiling beams, traditional slate floor and wood panelled walls, a log burning stove, rugs and three big settees. There's even a TV and Blue Ray DVD player hidden away, what could be better than cuddling up in front of a roaring fire on a cold winters eve? To one side there's a light and bright second sitting room/reading room with a cosy log burning stove and again TV and DVD player. The perfect hideaway for getting lost in a great book. Guests can also access the charming country garden from the sitting room, with strategically placed benches, this is a great place to soak up the summer sun or watch the seasons change.

The cottage also benefits from a delightful cloakroom, where an abundance of local books and guides can be found. There is also a downstairs WC & shower, perfect should you get a little muddy after a day of exploring.

First floor
A wide light staircase leads up to three opulent en-suite bedrooms. Refurbished in 2015 the bedrooms exude quality yet still maintain many of their original features - built-in wooden cupboards, window seats & decorative fireplaces. The en-suite bathrooms are modern yet simple and would not look out of place in a boutique hotel.

Bedroom 1 - a light and airy room with feature king size bed, period furniture, en-suite bathroom including feature bath with shower over & WC. The master bedroom overlooks the cottage garden.

Bedroom 2 - a bright and light room with super king size bed or twin single beds, en-suite shower room & WC & cottage garden views.

Coniston is simply an excellent base for any Lake District holiday. The village is packed with friendly pubs, local shops and lively cafes and there is incredible walking straight from the village centre, including the iconic Coniston Old Man. The village enjoys ample access to Coniston Water lake shore, with Coniston Boating Centre offering paddle-boarding, kayaking, sailing and more. There are also plenty of opportunities for wild-swimming including the lake, beautiful mountain tarns and the picturesque Church Beck river with its stunning waterfalls and deep, crystal clear pools. For cyclists, there are spectacular off-road mountain biking trails including those at nearby Grizedale Forest, as well as some stunning road routes through some of the country's most beautiful scenery.

For those who enjoy a quieter pace, The Ruskin Museum, which depicts the fascinating history of the area including the famous water speed record attempt of Donald Campbell is a must visit. While on the eastern shores of the lake lies Brantwood, the Victorian home of John Ruskin, where visitors can explore the historic house and vibrant arts centre and enjoy some delicious food from The Terrace cafe with its breath-taking lake and mountain views.

The wider Lake District area is also very easily accessible from Coniston, with popular destinations such as Ambleside, Bowness and Windermere just a short drive away.

In short, Coniston offers everything you could possibly want of a Lake District holiday - all right on your doorstep.

We've stayed at Dixon Ground Farm many times over the last 25 years, and it almost feels like our second home! We love it. It's so comfortable and welcoming, even on the rainy days, it's a pleasure to come home to. It's very well-equipped, has everything we need, and is a real home from home. The improvements made by the cottage owners have made the cottage even more comfortable. We look forward to coming back.

DGF is a great cottage and we have probably been there 6 or 7 times. We continue to be impressed how they maintain and upgrade the facilities. We were very pleased to see the new fridge this year.

Best holiday with The Coppermines yet! Sad to leave but looking forward to coming back at the end of the year. Watching Bluebird return to the village once again was a very joyous and special occasion that i was so happy to be a part of!

Dixon Ground Farm is amazing. We visit Coniston on a regular basis but this is the first time we have stayed in this beautiful cottage. We can 100% confirm it won't be the last. The owners have thought of everything and more - it's just wonderful. The homely feel, the decor, the layout, you name it and they have thought of it. Every day we gazed at the views with our morning coffee. The walks on your door step are some of the best (our car hasn't moved all week). The local hospitality is great, so share the love and try them all. Christmas Day in the cottage was the best of all. We had high expectations and it exceeded them all. Our final thanks goes to The Coppermines team, nothing is ever too much trouble. This is our third time with your company and you never fail to impress. The housekeeping was spot on as always. As you can probably guess we loved our stay here!

We have enjoyed a super week here in this comfortable and cosy cottage. The owners have obviously taken great care in furnishing the cottage reflecting their eye for colour and design. We also enjoyed a number of excellent meals in Coniston. Merci!

Back again for another week in this beautiful cottage and we have had another lovely visit. We have a family addition who is 9 months old - his first time in Coniston but it won't be his last! Sad to be going home today but hopefully it won't be too long before we return. I could sit on the patio all day listening to the sheep and admiring the view.

We knew this (last) day would come. So we're reluctantly saying goodbye to Dixon Ground Farm - for a while! Until we return some day very soon. Spending time here, engaging with all the surrounding areas, appreciating so much beauty, making and taking time to reflect and be thankful... should be on prescription! Coming back to the cottage at the end of each day is a dream. Cosy, warm, inviting, brilliant! Waking up is magical, especially when it snowed! Thank you

Wonderful cottage, exactly as described on your site. Very well decorated with comfortable furniture throughout. Plenty of space for 6 adults. We really appreciated the generosity of provision of crockery and equipment in the kitchen, making it a real home from home. In the same way the linen provided upstairs was of very good quality. The garden was very well-maintained and we even managed to eat outside at the large table where we appreciated the wonderful views. Excellent situation on the edge of the village within walking distance of all facilities.

I really like the Coppermines set up, it's so easy to use and having booked through them 5 times (at Dixon Ground Farm) we know what we are getting. I love this cottage and would love to own it.

Excellent service, high quality cottage, very accurately described in the brochure and online. We had a very enjoyable stay - the cottage is very well equipped. The owners have done a wonderful job of achieving home-from-home comfort, old-world charm, plus contemporary convenience and style, a real achievement.
