Nibthwaite, a peaceful and picturesque hamlet only 1.5 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 a few 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 completion in 1837 of the front part of the house, a Grade 2 Regency villa, was supervised by the well known architects, Websters of Kendal, who were responsible for many fine houses in the region, including Holker Hall. The owner's wife, Lord Cavendish's sister, was brought up at Holker Hall, which is world famous for its grand architecture, furnishings and fabulous gardens. Stately Holiday Home clients will be able to benefit from concessionary admission to the Hall.
