Lawson Park Farm Cottage
Alex SaintLawson Park Farm Cottage near Coniston is stylish holiday accommodation indeed. Winner of a prestigious Royal Institution of British Architecture Award it combines eco-features with interior artworks to deliver a quirky yet luxurious self-catering get away for families, friends and special interest groups. Originally part of John Ruskin’s estate at Brantwood, the setting is stunning – inside and out – in its own gardens and with views across the Crake Valley to the Coniston Fells. Even paying the bill is a pleasure as the rental income goes to support the creative laboratory work of Grizedale Arts, who have their HQ here. So an opportunity maybe to rub along with some of today’s most innovative creative thinkers – as well as the resident pigs, ducks and hens?
