Gatesgarth couldn’t be more beautifully located. Nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park with the Old Man of Coniston as its backdrop, the soothing views of Coniston Water are instantly captivating.

Designed by a team of award-winning architects, the beautiful glass-fronted retreat also won the prestigious prize of Best Residential Build at the Northern Design Awards in 2020… as well as occupying a full six-page feature in the spring edition of Cumbria Life.

Perfect for celebrations with family or friends, up to eight guests can be accommodated here, with well-behaved pets also welcome.

As you explore your new surroundings, prepare for several gasps of delight and instant social media updates! There are sleek, high-end appliances almost everywhere you look, while even the dining table is a work of art: purpose-built by local artisans and featuring chairs crafted from local Herdwick sheep’s wool.

On sunny evenings, dine outside on the decking… perhaps followed by a dip in the Scandinavian wooden hot tub for good measure. Staying in? The mezzanine-style lounge boasts superlative views to Coniston, and there’s a wood-burning stove to warm colder evenings.

The village is a five-minute stroll away, and there’s plenty of nature to absorb yourselves in all around. However, you’ll have to tear yourselves away from Gatesgarth to explore it all… and that could pose a challenge!
