The Coppermines & Lakes Cottages

We have just returned from a lovely family break, staying at Beech Tree Cottage near Newby Bridge. We travelled as a family of 5. ||Check in was easy using a key safe. The cottage was part of a barn conversion and parking was available right outside.||The cottage was very clean, cosy and comfortable. It was extremely well equipped. The kitchen had dish washer tablets, washing up liquid, tea towels, cloths, sponge, bin liners. I had brought all of this with me but great that it was all here and included. The cottage was spacious and a great base for exploring the lake district.||We had booked a Tesco delivery for the day we arrived which was great.||The cottage has its own access to lake windermere which was great for the children. There are also access to woodland walks and the children even came across a rope swing in the woods which they loved.||There was a very detailed information folder within the house giving lots of ideas and suggestions for walks, activities and eating places. This was really useful.||Overall, we had a great time at Beech Tree Cottage and we would definitely recommend to others and return again.| More...

Just back from Netherbeck Cottage in Coniston . Had a lovely relaxing week . Well equipped cottage . Close to amenities . Lovely long walks . ||Just two small things..! No hairdryer in cottage . Not a big deal ! The only other complaint is building work going on next door. A brazier was left burning all day which led to smoke blowing into our garden which meant we couldn’t really sit outside in the garden or use hot tub much . In all fairness when we spoke to workmen they apologised and said they would put a lid on the brazier when finished.||Apart from that small issue I would really say that this cottage is worth a visit .

We have recently returned from a short stay at Sunny Brae Cottage in Haws Bank near to Lake Coniston. The cottage is perfectly placed in a quiet village about 1 mile outside of Coniston and is ideal for access to many of the major Lake District visitor attractions. The shore of Lake Coniston is a short walk from the cottage and the boating centre and cafe, just a little further. The cottage itself is well appointed with a modern kitchen, comfortable sitting room with a log burner (logs & kindling provided) and three good sized bedrooms each with its own en-suite which we found very convenient. The two private parking spaces and the private garden with a secluded seating area added to the charm of this property. The decor in the cottage is a little dated but this does not at all detract from the overall ambiance of this charming Lakes property. The local pub The Ship Inn is less than a five minute walk from the cottage but it would be advisable to take a torch or some 'high viz' jackets as the main road can be a little hazardous at night. The choice of local ales is great and the food is excellent but it can get busy so it would be advisable to get there early or try to book a table. They also do a 'take away' menu. A short drive down from the cottage in to Coniston you will find a number of other pubs all of which offer food as well as local takeaways. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunny Brae Cottage and would definitely consider staying there again. More...

Dog friendly too. More...

We stayed in this lovely cottage for a week as a family of 6 with 2 dogs. The cottage itself is quite quirky, particularly upstairs with uneven floors but this is all part of the charm and character of Thwaite cottage. Everything you need for a self catering holiday is provided. The gardens are beautiful with lots to explore and parts lead to different levels where once at the top you can sit and take in the view. The location of Thwaite Cottage was perfect. Just a 10 min walk into Coniston village and Coniston Lake is literally on the doorstep with lots of activities. Only negative (and reason for not scoring 5*) was the upstairs carpets which were in need of attention. Coppermines have since informed me that Thwaite Cottage is to undergo renovation works throughout this winter which includes levelling of floors, replacing carpets etc. I would certainly recommend this lovely quirky cottage and would stay again if we were to holiday in Coniston in the future.

What a gorgeous little place this is. We spent a long weekend here with our dog, who loved chilling on the patio that has stunning views over to Old Man. The cottage is immaculate with luxury finishes and everything that you need including little extras with muffins that were the nicest we’ve ever tasted! Set on the Eastern side of Coniston but very walkable to the village, especially on a nice day. We spend most of our holidays in the Lake District, despite being Cumbrian, because we love it that much and this is definitely up there with the best we have stayed in. We will deff be back at some point. Final word has to go to the owners who are very friendly and make you feel so welcome. Thank you! More...

Very happy with booking. Staff very helpful and efficient.We booked a cottage in Great Langdale, which was great. Managed to get a late booking discount, and they allowed us to book and just pay for Saturday to Friday (which a lot of cottage hire companies would not allow). Would definitely recommend.

We hired the 3 parts that make up Bridge Cottages (Post Office, Bridge House and Bridge Suite) for the weekend for a slightly more low key than average stag do. The location was excellent for pubs, walking and access to the lake. The cottages were very well provisioned, my only grumble being blunt kitchen knives that even a steel couldn’t help, so if you’re planning on doing an serious cooking maybe take a decent knife. The company were excellent in terms of communication and the cottages were nice and clean on arrival. Would recommend these cottages and this company for a stay. More...

We stayed her for 4 nights in warm weather with our 7 month old puppy. The cottage is decorated very nicely and the garden area is sunny if not very private. If they had some comfortable chairs outside that would make it a whole lot better as the rusting metal wasn't comfortable. The upstairs has a lovely view (see picture) and was very warm from the sun shining through the windows. Downstairs where the bedrooms are is lovely and cool. The WiFi isn't very good but fortunately we had lots of mobile data for looking things up so this wasn't a problem. |It's in a quiet area so although a bit overlooked with the other apartments at Sawrey Knott's it still felt like we were in our own little bubble.

Just had to write a review about this fantastic cottage which we are staying in at the moment, From when we opened the door it had the WOW factor. The decor is done to an excellent standard with the bathroom and bedroom being very spacious and tastefully done. Just opening the patio doors there is a small balcony with a small stream running just below- a perfect place to sit an relax and chill. Location is ideally situated centrally in Coniston within walking distance of pubs, shops and lots of walks. We were also welcomed with a bottle of wine and flowers around the cottage, and the little extras such as products for washing machine and dishwasher. There were also a selection of Champneys products in the bathroom which was a lovely touch. I can honestly say this accommodation is one of best my husband and I have stayed in and will definitely let others know how lovely this place is. More...

We have stayed many times in Coniston as we regularly visit for the Christmas period. This was our first year with Coppermines. First of all the service from Coppermines is first class, they are super helpful and so friendly, plus having an office in Coniston is such a plus (we have had issues in nearby cottages and the letting offices have all been away from Coniston)||||If you are thinking of renting in Coniston then we would highly recommend Pebble Beck, comfortable, stylish, well appointed and central it was such a great place to come home to after a day of walking.

There is also a large jetted bathtub in the main bathroom and the second double bedroom has a huge bed.||||The location right on the beck is peaceful yet at the top of the lane you are right in the heart of the village.||||We loved it so much we have booked for our return already but if we had decided to book another cottage it would definitely be from Coppermines.
