Sitting-out area with BBQ. Large enclosed lawned garden (shared). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: This property has a natural water supply from a well. There is an unfenced 3ft drop, a fenced pond and 4 steps in the garden.. You’ll be on the right track during your stay at The Station Master’s House, which forms part of the former railway station in the hamlet of Torver. Close to Coniston Water, this is an excellent starting point to explore the nearby countryside and wildlife, and the Lakeland Fells including Coniston Old Man. The property has been thoughtfully furnished throughout, with a well-equipped kitchen and a living/dining room which boasts comfy leather sofas. The property offers two double bedrooms, one of which has an additional single bed, and they both have sumptuous bed linen adding an extra comfort. They both enjoy views over the beautiful garden and surrounding area. This spacious cottage still has the distinctive feel of its former use, with a raised lawned terrace which is part of the old platform - the perfect place to sit and relax.
The nearby Lakeland villages of Coniston and Hawkshead are idyllic and have an abundance of shops and cafés. For the more adventurous, why not take to the tree top challenge at Grizedale Forest, or venture along the many paths by foot or by bike. For steam enthusiasts, you can still take to the tracks with a ride on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite trains near Ulverston, or the elegant Victorian Steam Yacht Gondola which sails between March and November on Coniston Water. There are so many activities to keep you busy all year round in this wonderful area. Beach 18 miles. Shop 2½ miles, restaurant 100 yards. The Station Master’s House (ref UK1144) can be booked together with Ticket Office (ref UK1145) to accommodate up to 7 guests.

Fantastic accommodation in a great location
This accommodation surpassed our hopes. I was with my elderly parents and wanted a property on one level. The fixtures and fittings were of an excellent standard, good quality bedding and towels. Fantastic walk in shower which was safe for my parents and very spacious. All the rooms were spacious and everything we could want was provided. We were lucky enough to have some lovely weather in April and could enjoy the garden which is so nice. The pub that is about 1 min walk was an extra benefit if you want to eat out and not drive, the food and welcome was very good. Only a 20 min drive to Windermere lake and easy access to Ambleside and Keswick. You are also able to walk the Old man of conniption from this location, no need to drive. Easy instructions on how to find the property and how to get in. I would recommend this highly. The drive way is quite narrow, we have quite a large car but I feel if you had a van then you would struggle to get in. I would look forward to returning here in the future.

An extremely relaxing stay with beautiful surroundings.
An extremely relaxing stay with beautiful surroundings. Everything in the house was supplied from crockery to wifi. I would recommend a wifi extension as wifi signal weak in rest of the property. Best signal being in the lounge. Overall a well deserved break for us in a perfect location making our first cottage rental an experience to remember and one that will most definitely make us want to return.

We were pleasantly surprised with the cottage; it was much bigger than anticipated and the garden was fantastic. Lots of space for the kids to play, a lovely pond and lots of interesting flowers and plants. Beds were comfy and lots of living space plus two separate tables for eating meals. It is a great location for walking; we did a good selection of the Coniston mountain range off the doorstep. It has good access to the lake with easy walking up to Coniston village. The Wilson Arms over the road served fantastic food and had a nice range of local beers. The beer garden is spacious with plenty of tables and there is a small deli serving coffees and treats from early morning which was a great start to our walks. We felt it was a little overpriced for a long weekend; however, we understand the current climate is difficult so we really tried to make the most of our time there. We would definitely consider it for a longer break in the near future. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The accommodation was very quirky.
The accommodation was very quirky. However, I felt that the lounge didn’t really fit in. Needs to be cosier, there is a big dining table in the lounge that doesn’t really suit. A nice fireplace would make it comfier. The outside area is amazing and perfect for dogs. Very private with a lovely pond.

Excellent location.
Excellent location. Surrounded by birdsong and flowers. Quiet, peaceful and close to good walking and bustle of the Lake District. Property delightfully restored from former station masters house to a practical, comfortable modern cottage.

Lovely cottage and very well equipped.
Lovely cottage and very well equipped. Delightful garden and wonderful wildlife. Suffers a little because of proximity to road junction and noisy traffic especially motorbikes but still provides a haven of peace and tranquility. Good pub food across the way and only a short (2 mile) drive into Coniston village. Layout in cottage reflects the quirky origin of the building. Would recommend a stay here.
