Wren Cottage, lake access, pet-friendly

Wren forms part of an old Mill now called Sunny Bank Mill Cottages. Next to pretty Torver beck, with frontage to the quiet western shore of Coniston Water, it’s the perfect place for a ‘get-away-from-it-all’ break. Wren is beautifully refurbished but retains lots of character. Surrounded by fantastic scenery you don't need to go far to enjoy the beauty of the Lakes. Stroll down to the lake to sit and unwind, walk up onto the Common for amazing views, or explore the lake and island by canoe. The space This 300 year-old traditional stone watermill has been cleverly converted into three individual and attractive cottage-style apartments (now called Sunny Bank Mill Cottages). In an idyllic riverside setting beside tumbling Torver Beck, each of the three units (Dipper, Wren and Robin) are full of character and retain many original features such as exposed stone walls and beams, whilst ensuring comfort and warmth after the day's activities. Wren itself has just been beautifully refurbished. A large window seat provides a great place to sit and look out at the view of the field and across to the lake. Or you can sit out on the balcony to enjoy a beer or a cuppa in the fresh air. The grassy lane beside the beck leads to a large wooded field (sheep-free - great for dogs) and on to the secluded lake-shore, where you can sit in peace and enjoy the views, or jump into a canoe to explore the lake and the island. Perfect for couples, Wren cottage forms the eastern end of the original Mill building. There's an attractive open-plan living area, king-size bed, and en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bath. Wren doesn't have a garden, but Robin and Dipper both do; they are in the same building, with the same access to field and lake. Guest access The lake shore, which is a short stroll down the path, is shared with the main Sunny Bank Mill House (another holiday let). We have Canadian canoes for hire - these are £50 to hire for your stay, including buoyancy aids. There is plenty of space for parking, and an EV charge point is available - price on application (flat rate). Other things to note Your well-behaved dogs are welcome, with no extra charge, on the understanding that they are not allowed on the beds, nor on the sofas without your own dog blanket, and that no sign of the dog is evident in the property or grounds on departure. They must not be left alone in the property unless caged and must be closely supervised in the area around the Cottages, on the way down to the lake and at the lake shore. They must be fully treated for fleas before arrival. Thank you for your understanding!
