Broughton Mills Cottage | Potter's Wheel - sleeps 4, private lake access, dog friendly and parking

2 Bedroom Cottage in Broughton Mills, Coniston

Potter's Wheel, located in the small hamlet of Water Yeat, is enviably positioned just seconds from the quiet South Western shores of Coniston Water. This quintessential home away from home is the epitome of a traditional Lakeland cottage and the out-pouring of love from the property owners doesn’t go unnoticed, making this the perfect base to explore some of The Lake District’s unspoilt gems.
The period lead windows, rock faced lounge and original beamed ceilings are paired with modern day amenities and tasteful accessories, striking the perfect balance between the old and the new.
An up-to-the-minute dining kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms and one family house bathroom make up the basis of this ‘olde worlde’ cottage, while the undeniably unique lounge sits at the front of the house. With its feature log burning stove, original spiral staircase and comfortable seating for the whole family, this is without a doubt the beating heart of this charming home.
Not forgetting the reason everyone falls in love with this cottage: the lake access! Step out from the front door and within seconds you’ll have journeyed through the private woodland and be embracing the purity of Lakeland waters. Be it open water swimming, paddleboarding, canoeing – or even a spot of fishing from the private beach area – this is an adventurer’s playground. And dare we say it, possibly even a 'honeymooners haven'...

Summary: This is a lovely cottage with a path direct to Coniston Water with a small beach, and a grassy area for relaxing. It is very tranquil. Some of he grounds are wooded. There is a little piece of ground behind the cottage with barbecue and picnic table. However, because the weather was so good we were out walking most of the time. There is an excellent walk across the road onto Blawith Common....truly beautiful. The East of the lake is worth exploring and we had a good afternoon at Brantwood. There are a good choice of pubs with Coniston, Torver and Lowick nearby. The cottage has old-world charm with comfortable, modern furnishings and equipment, making for a truly wonderful stay. There was a lot of attention to detail as to what would be needed for a vacation. E.g. well-equipped kitchen, practical bathroom, plenty of walking themed books and maps, clothes airers, picnic tables and benches. Bedding and towels are provided. There was a constant supply of hot water. There is a parking space provided. Next door is another holiday cottage.
