Set in the picturesque village of Coniston, in the heart of the Lake District, Shepherds Villa is at the foot of the Old Man of Coniston and close to the shores of Coniston Water. With stunning walks, boating, swimming and spectacular scenery on the doorstep, there is plenty to explore, while the village itself offers shops, pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance.

Shepherds Villa is a traditional Victorian house arranged over four floors, with ample private parking and a mature front garden. The entire house is available for exclusive self-catering stays, and on some dates you can book a private room and share the kitchen and living areas with other guests in a traditional hostel arrangement.

There is a well-equipped kitchen, a dining room seating up to 24, two spacious living rooms (one with an open fire and the other with a piano), and a games room with a pool table. There are 9 bedrooms, some with en-suite facilities. Three of the rooms are ideal for families, with double beds and additional single beds or bunks. There is also a triple room, two twin rooms and two double rooms, offering flexible sleeping arrangements, along with plenty of modern, well-equipped bathrooms.

Shepherds Villa is a really good venue for Cumbrian outdoor holidays, with all the outdoor activities on your doorstep, while the house is spacious and comfortable enough to retreat to when the bad weather hits.

Exclusive hire is perfect for family gatherings, special birthdays and reunions with friends.

Beyond Coniston, you can explore the homes of Beatrix Potter, Ruskin and Wordsworth, all within easy reach. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure or a cosy retreat, Shepherds Villa is a wonderful base for enjoying the Lake District.
