If you’ve been waiting for confirmation that Coniston Boating Centre is back open for business before booking a Lake District holiday cottage then you’re in luck, as the attraction is set to be up and running later this month.
The centre, which attracts around 180,000 visitors a year, was badly hit by flooding that occurred in the area recently, but is now ready for use.
“It’s quite literally been all hands on deck after the centre spent several days submerged in the heavily swollen lake,” explained manager Dave Coxton.
He added that taking a boat out is one of the best ways to enjoy the scenery on offer in the Lakes and predicted that demand will be high on Valentine’s Day, as romantic couples look to take to the water.
A wide variety of vessels are available for hire at the centre, including electric and rowing boats, sailing dinghies, canoes and kayaks.

Can you please forward me the different types of sailing vessels you have for hire. I haven’t a particular time in mind but if you could forward me types of boats and prices,that would be much appreciated. Do you have any barges for hire?. We fancy travelling the lakes if that’s possible.Also could you forward me some holiday cottages for rent about that area.Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
