Nibthwaite, a peaceful and picturesque hamlet only 1½ miles from the southern tip of Coniston Water, was part of the many farming enterprises set up in the 12th Century by the Cistercian Monks of Furness, which became the second richest Cistercian House in England. Thereafter, it became a private estate, although some houses in the hamlet are in separate ownership. The back of Nibthwaite Grange, with its small panelled rooms, is the original part of the old lakeland manor. Grange Studio (ETB Graded 4 Star) has been skilfully converted to provide very spacious and comfortable studio accommodation for 2 people. ACCOMMODATION – Sleeps 2.
