Nibthwaite, a peaceful and picturesque hamlet only 1½ miles from the southern tip of Coniston Water, was one of the many farming enterprises set up in the 12th Century by the Cistercian Monks of Barrow-in-Furness.

Nibthwaite Grange |
Thereafter, it became a private estate, and some thirty years ago it was split up and all houses in the hamlet are now in separate ownership. The back of Nibthwaite Grange, with its small panelled rooms, is the original part of the old Lakeland manor.
The owners of the principal house in the hamlet, Nibthwaite Grange, have skillfully converted the Peat House and Nibthwaite Studio to provide modern, comfortable accommodation.
Nibthwaite Studio is on two floors, offering one studio/one bathroom accommodation for up to 2 people.
