Created from a substantial portion of historic Hill Top, a former farmhouse dating from 1680 and once owned by Arthur Ransome, most famous for his “Swallows and Amazons” series of children’s stories, The Cottage at Hill Top offers awarding-winning 5 Star Gold self-catering holiday accommodation for up to four guests.


Standing in some nine acres of beautiful grounds, including gardens, lawns, and fabulous ancient woodland, Hill Top’s truly breathtaking position within the wonderful Lake District National Park (a World Heritage Site) commands stupendous panoramic views across the exquisite Rusland Valley - from the Coniston Fells to the northwest, around to where the estuary of the River Leven enters Morecambe Bay to the southwest.


In its idyllic rural location, Hill Top is conveniently located just a mile and a half west of the southern tip of Lake Windermere and Newby Bridge, with a good choice of pubs, restaurants and activities within a five minute drive.


The Cottage comprises two sumptuous king-size double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. A large open-plan living room is combined with a dining-kitchen and this room has French windows offering far-reaching views.
