Tent Lodge Cottage is one of a group of five adjoining or adjacent privately owned holiday cottages, about 1.5 miles walk to village and located on the north east side of Coniston Water, with each cottage having the added benefit of sharing private lake shore and jetties. Grizedale is one of three adjoining holiday cottages located on the North East head of Coniston Water. Along with 2 other adjacent holiday properties and a row of traditional stone outbuildings, the cottages are set around a triangular courtyard on a small country estate and enjoy access to the estates private lake shore and jetties. This area was much favoured by such literary lights as Tennyson, Turner and later Arthur Ransome, author of the much loved children's series of novels The Swallows & Amazons. Each drew inspiration from the surrounds where the views give a deep sense of the power and beauty of the Lake District landscape. Today each cottage offers guests the perfect destination set in one of the finest locations in the central Lake District, where the view is filled by the high peaks of Conistons mountain range, reflected in deep waters.
