The Shieling is a characterful, 18th century stone cottage spectacularly situated in an elevated position under The Yewdale Crags at the 'Far End' of the village of Coniston. Tastefully renovated for autumn 2025, The Shieling is beautiful inside and out, offering luxurious accommodation within a picture-perfect cottage exterior.
Built of Lakeland stone, The Shieling retains its original log-burning Victorian range, an incredible centrepiece for this gorgeous traditional dwelling . Although over two hundred years old the cottage is cosy and well equipped, having recently undergone a full renovation, to offer modern facilities whilst retaining much character and charm throughout.
As well as its delightful character and charm, what makes The Sheiling special is its superb location. Perched right on the fells, the Cumbrian Way footpath and cycle route runs behind the cottage giving direct access onto the Old Man, Wetherlam and longer walks/rides further afield. The cottage is also less than a 5-minute walk away from Coniston's numerous pubs, cafes and shops.
A beautiful cottage perfect for couples, friends and small families looking for some pure Lake District escapism, or to make the most of the incredible walking and cycling on the doorstep.
