SUNNY BANK MILL
Spacious riverside self-catering house for 14 with private shoreline on Coniston Water
Living Accommodation
Sunny Bank Mill provides plenty of space for large groups to relax in comfort. It sleeps up to 14 people in 3 double and 4 twin bedrooms all with amazing views (1 double can be converted to a twin if requested).
Downstairs
The impressive entrance hall with parquet floor leads into a large lounge divided into 2 seating areas. Choose to gather round the wood-burning stove (plenty of logs available), tackle a jigsaw, or throw open the patio doors and enjoy easy access to the garden. The second lounge ("Snug"), with large Smart TV, is ideal for sports lovers who don't want to miss a game, or for snuggling down to watch a film without disturbing the rest of the group.
The handmade fitted kitchen has all the facilities, small appliances, utensils, cupboards and worktop space you need for good quality holiday catering and enough crockery, cutlery and glasses to allow for multi-course extended dining. The kitchen has a double electric fan oven, 5-ring gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer with ice maker, and a separate drinks fridge. The dining-room is open-plan with the kitchen, catches the evening sun and boasts a wide view of the beck, with shrubs and trees beyond. The lovely Victorian oak table seats 14 comfortably and there's a high-chair if required.
