B&B Location

Countryside

Thwaite Cottage is set in two acres of garden and woodland down a country lane midway between the Village and the head of the Lake. If you are seeking a quiet place to stay that is full of character, centuries old, and in a beautiful location, then look no further.

Directions from the M6 Motorway (about 45 minutes):

Leave at Junction 36 (Kendal) and follow the Kendal By-Pass to pick up the A591 to Ambleside.
After the sign for Ambleside, turn left at traffic lights at Waterhead and follow the signs for Coniston and the A593.
Alternatively, leave at Junction 36 and follow the A591 & A590 to Greenodd via Newby Bridge.
From Greenodd, take the A5092 to Lowick and then the A5084 to Torver. From Torver take the A593 to Coniston.

From Coniston:

In the centre of Coniston take the B5285 to Hawkshead that passes in front of the Church.
As you leave the last of the houses, the road goes over a small humpbacked bridge before passing between fields to Waterhead (about half a mile).
Look out for the Waterhead Hotel on the right.
50 yards further on look left for our lane and sign.
Thwaite Cottage is the white house you can see straight ahead of you.

Museums

The award winning Ruskin Museum in Coniston is well worth a visit to learn more of the history of the village and surrounding area. We would recommended it before a visit to Brantwood, the home of John Ruskin.

Nearby is Hawkshead – a picturesque Lakeland village that still retains its cobbled streets, overhanging buildings and thirteenth century church.

A couple of miles away is Sawrey, the home of Beatrix Potter, and a centre of pilgrimage for Peter Rabbit fans.

Further afield - from stately homes, castles and gardens at Holker, Muncaster, Levens, Dalemain and Sizergh - to steamers and launches on Windermere, Ullswater and erwentwater - from Wordsworth’s homes at Grasmere and Rydal - to stone circles at Keswick - from the miniature steam railway from Ravenglass to Eskdale to Roman ruins and castles - you will find that nothing is too far away.
