With breath-taking lake views and a private balcony, Sun Cottage is the largest of our cottages on Thurston Bank - the highest row of cottages in Coniston's popular "Bank's" area.

Perched high above Coniston Village, Sun Cottage delights its guests with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms over three floors. From its beautifully decorated interior, guests can bask in the magnificent views on offer in this charming stone cottage.

On entering Sun Cottage, guests are greeted with the cottage's welcoming kitchen / dining room. Beyond lies the cosy sitting room with feature log-burning stove and double doors onto the balcony and garden below. From here guests can soak up the magnificent views of Coniston Water and the hills of Grizedale Forest beyond.

Sun Cottage is ideal for couples, pairs of couples or small families looking for a comfortable cottage with fabulous views as a base of Lakeland adventures or to simply relax within and take in those glorious views.

Ground Floor
Stepping inside Sun Cottage brings you into the well-equipped, farm-house style kitchen. Here you will find everything you need to enjoy a self-catering break including an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and handy washer-dryer. A country-style dining table for four completes the room. The kitchen leads onto the spacious sitting room, where all eyes are immediately drawn to the double doors with beautiful views beyond, across to the lake and over to the forested hills of Grizedale. Comfortable seating is arranged around the log-burning stove with oak mantle and, should you be able to take your eyes off the picturesque view, then the room is equipped with a Smart TV. Moving through the double doors and onto the balcony, a table and chairs make the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. From the balcony, steps lead down to the mature, sloping garden.

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.
