About this property
Luxury, peaceful, country house, private garden, off-road parking, EV charging
Charcoal House is a gorgeous large country house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
The house is located just 1 mile from the shores of Coniston Water in the heart of the Lake District National Park.
This traditional stone-built 18th country house is located in a very peaceful off-road location in the tiny hamlet of Low Nibthwaite, just ½ a mile from the southern tip of Coniston Water.
The house has recently been decorated throughout using heritage Farrow & Ball co-ordinating shades and refurbished and furnished to a very high standard.
The price includes luxury Egyptian cotton bedlinen, towels, central heating and electric.
The house has full central heating, continuous hot water and 2 log fires if you love the ambience of a real fire.
This gorgeous Lake District holiday house and the large sunny cottage garden are south facing. Thereās also off-road parking for 4 cars.
SITTING ROOM The large sitting room is located on the 1st floor and has large glass doors opening onto the balcony. The balcony is a great place to sit and relax.
This is a gorgeous room that is very light and spacious and has a huge āwow factorā with its huge oak beams, thick stone walls and a roaring log fire.
Thereās sofas and chairs for 8 people and a Samsung Smart TV
The large balcony is a great place to relax and unwind.
KITCHEN The large country style kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need for luxurious, modern living and entertaining including a microwave, dishwasher, large fridge freezer, crockery, glasses, cutlery, kitchen equipment & utensils for 8 people.
The twin oven Aga range cooker is left on constantly throughout the year providing lovely ambient warmth and the unbeatable taste of Aga cooking.
The open plan kitchen has a breakfast bar, large dining table and 8 chairs and just off the kitchen is the āSnugā seating area with a sofa and coffee table. This is a great area for the kids to get away on their own whilst the rest of the group relax at the other end of the house in the large sitting room.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS Upstairs youāll find 3 bedrooms all located off a lovely large landing with a huge skylight that fills the house with natural light.
The 3 large bedrooms are luxuriously furnished with new beds, mattresses and quality wood furniture.
2 bedrooms have king sized beds and the largest bedroom has a super king sized bed that can be unzipped to make twin beds (please let us know at the time of booking if this is your requirement).

The Nook also has a fully equipped kitchen, a seating area with a sofa, flat screen TV and a roaring log fire. The French doors offer in lots of light.
The Nook is a great asset to the house as it can be used as private annex if any of your group want a bit of privacy.
The extra kitchen is ideal for large groups and offers a conventional oven for anyone who is not too sure about using the Aga in the main kitchen.
The Nook is not rented out separately. It is included with the rest of the house.

The large enclosed garden has just had new fencing put up so you can all enjoy the garden together.

We had such a great time staying at charcoal house. So cozy and beautifully decorated, the house was immaculate! Location was perfect for walks and local pubs too.
The whole property is as mentioned on the description and perfect for a getaway. It had everything we needed and more. The property was spotless with all appliances functioning properly. Very good location for walks and trips to the caves and lakes in the area. Good neighbours and quite peaceful. Would 100% recommend and visit again.
We stayed for a week in September - the accommodation was lovely and the lounge was splendid. Had a wood burner going a couple of nights and it was lovely and snuggly. Would go back in a heartbeat. Great location too so all pluses. Would be fab for a large group.
We had a fantastic stay at Charcoal House and couldn't fault anything. The house itself is clean and comfortable and luxurious - it was perfect for our family of 6. We enjoyed coffees on the balcony and dinner in the garden! It is in a peaceful location perfectly located to explore Coniston and the South Lakes. We particularly enjoyed making the most of the recommendations and walks straight from the house - the one straight up the hill was ideal for us and a young family. The host, Simon, was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. He ensured we had all the details we needed for our stay and he provided additional recommendations during our stay too (great walks and also a fantastic local bakery and ice cream shop we'd also recommend). It was a perfect stay for us. We are already trying to plan when we can stay again next year in the hope we can stay longer!
This is a beautiful property. It is extremely well-equipped and furnished. All the furnishings are very good quality and the beds, sofas and chairs are very comfortable.
We found it very spacious for our family group of 8, ranging in age from 6 to 70. The garden is separated by a driveway but this was not a problem and, despite not having very good weather, the children still made the most of the lovely garden area.
We really loved the property; The property is nestled in the lap of nature, transport yourself to another world by listening to thebirdsong. Also, Simon (owner) was super helpful right from the booking until we checked into the property.
This is a fantastic house. Cosy, with comfortable beds and lots of space. Simon was so helpful, providing good communication and a great guest pack with a selection of local walks. Also, and crucially, an excellent set of SHARP kitchen knives!
Excellent property, very nicely maintained, lovely decor and everything was available in the property.
We had a wonderful time there.
Would defo recommend. š
Fabulous house and location
for all the lakes in the southern part of the district. Well appointed house, with everything you could need in the kitchen.
Simon is a great host! His communication and assistance was top notch. Very quick to respond. The house is gorgeous with high end accommodations in a lovely area. We would love to come back!
Beautiful house! So much space for us all to get together without being under each others' feet. Really well equipped and so spacious. Great communication with the owner who very promptly deal with a small problem. Lots of great small touches like a games box and walking routes. Couldn't fault it!
We had a fantastic stay at Charcoal House and were really impressed by the property and how well-equipped it was. The Nook is an excellent feature that allows everyone to stay connected but also provides for some independence for members of the group if required. The lounge upstairs is very large and provides lovely views as the sun goes down. The garden was a real bonus (we were lucky to have sunny weather all week) with good outdoor furniture provided. Overall, very impressed and would stay there again.
Charcoal house is gorgeous - spacious, but cosy at the same time. The kitchen was really well equipped which really helps. All the beds were kingsize and one was even bigger, so we slept well!
It rained a fair bit over the weekend, so we didn't see any views, which was a shame, but we enjoyed ourselves despite this. It would have been perfect if the pub had been a bit nearer!
Charming and comfortable home in beautiful setting. Simon was both helpful and prompt in communication. Americans beware that a UK king bed is considerably smaller than US king bed and the Aga stove keeps the downstairs a bit too warm in summer.
We felt at home the moment we arrived. Even better in reality than in the photos (which are good) . Lovely aga warmed kitchen. Delightful garden. Living room was a wow and so comfy. Beautiful views from the bedrooms. Very quiet situation and near to so much. Recommend the Manor House to have dinner and Swallows & Amazons cafe just up the road ((by car) to just hang out and take in the stunning views (and lunch) . Will definitely be telling my friends and family to stay at Charcoal House.
We loved the house it was very spacious with the added bonus of a self contained part of the house which meant my son and his family had their own space. However we were a little disappointed when we arrived as the photos make it look detached and there were houses attached around both corners but not shown on the photos. Also I don't remember reading that the garden was across a small road so we were unable to just let the dog out into the garden. It also stated that Coniston water was half a mile away from the house. This was as the crow flies and not accessible by carThat been said we had an enjoyable stay
Coalhouse is a beautiful, spacious property with lovely features. Simon was very responsive and informative plus directions and check-in was as detailed.We all felt the property details were misleading as the view from the balcony was not as described - we looked at neighbors cars, a house opposite and trees. There is no access to the River Crank from the property and we did walk down the lane as detailed in the house itinerary which just went down a field to the river but no where else to walk.The garden is detailed as fully enclosed, this is not true as there were areas where our two dogs could escape plus the garden is not attached to the house and over an access road to other properties which is open to the road at the top. This meant we had to lead our dogs every time to access the garden. If we had known the garden was not attached to the house we wouldnāt have stayed here.We have had a lovely time with friends and the weather has been kind.
