Description At A Glance Location Testimonials

Sitting high up above Coniston village, Bank Top Cottage enjoys incredible lake and hill views from its inviting sun deck. If incredible views are your thing, then this traditional stone cottage is hard to beat!

Bank Top Cottage is in the rarefied heights of The Banks, on one of the highest roads in the village of Coniston. It is one of a row of traditional Lakeland slate terraced cottages built in the early 18th century to home the mine workers. Now it's a haven for guests who are seeking a cosy holiday cottage with unbeatable lake views. And should you tire of the view (you won't) you can retreat to the comfortable interior, warm your toes by the real fire and kick back and relax in the cosy sitting room.

With a double bedroom enjoying those gorgeous lake views, plus a 2nd bedroom with full-size bunk beds, Bank Top Cottage is perfect for couples or families.

Ideally situated for both stunning hikes and exploring the village, this lovely cottage enjoys immediate access onto the surrounding open fells while the amenities of the village are less than a 10 minute walk.

Local Activities

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.

We have had a brilliant long weekend in Bank Top Cottage with our dog. Came to participate in the Coniston Chillswim end to end on Saturday and had a brilliant walk down to Coniston shore and back via Torver Common. Such a wee gem of a cottage and look forward to returning!

Bank Top Cottage was very comfortable with marvellous views and was a lovely place to relax and enjoy our holiday. We liked the overall layout of the cottage and the terrace/patio was wonderful. It provided a good base for walking on the fells and visiting the lake.
