Nibthwaite lies a short walk from the southern reach of Coniston Water, a secluded hamlet tucked at the foot of the fell.The east lane takes you along the lakeside, where you can explore the shoreline and picnic or swim from the shallow bays. There are paths into the Grizedale forest where a whole day can be spent exploring this mighty woodland discovering the many tracks and trails.An easy 2 mile walk, or cycle ride, brings you to Lowick Bridge and the Red Lion Inn, where you can enjoy a fine pint, pub food and local company.The Hovel is a perfect romantic retreat for two. Tucked at the foot of the fell, this traditional cruck beam, stone built barn sits in private grounds, behind the owner’s own home.Hovel only in name, you enter into a well-equipped kitchen dining room where you can prepare cosy suppers by candlelight, or spread out onto the fell on a summers evening and dine with a view of the lake.Stairs take you to the sitting room with an original oak stud wall with a plump sofa drawn around a log-burning stove under a canopy of ancient beams. Off the sitting room is the bathroom and the bedroom, with a door opening onto the garden.For those looking for perfect peace, the Hovel will be sure to endear itself as a special holiday cottage.
