Just 10 minutes' drive from Coniston village, Byre Cottage & Millers Cottage are two recently refurbished neighbouring cottages on a working Lakeland farm. With 6 bedrooms, log fires & rural views they are the ultimate rural retreats, perfect for groups or families holidaying together.
Lovingly reconstructed from the original 17th century byre, the these twin cottages offer cosy yet comfortable rooms with rustic exposed beams, log fires and countryside views.
