Miner's Cottage

Enjoyed a week staying in Miner's Cottage. Communication with the owners was straight-forward, and the cottage itself is well equipped and maintained. The view from the cottage is simply amazing - its vantage point above Coniston town and lake is very special. Thoughtfully laid out, the utility/boot room at the rear was brilliant when returning from a hike in the hills.

I have visited Miner's cottage every year since 2014 and don't intend to stop. The journey to Coniston is very easy and the cottage has the best possible view over the lake. Coniston is a landscape artists fantasy as the beautiful scenery keeps changing. As the light and mist cross the valley it's like a different holiday each day. If you've never been to the lakes go as soon as you have the chance. Coniston lake is like its only little world and Miner's cottage will give you the best view of it (see 7am from the top window). Part way up the mountain with all modern comforts.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay. The cottage is very comfortable, spacious, quiet, well equipped and immaculately clean. The location is superb - it's fairly high up looking out over towards Consiton Water. You can enjoy the views from the cottage or sit out on the patio area in front of the cottage - very lovely. There's great walking from the doorstep - we did the Old Man of Coniston and also a walk out to Little Langdale/Cathedral Quarry which was a super walk. It's a short walk down into Coniston itself where there are pubs, cafes shops etc. There are several pubs to choose from all within walking distance and all very friendly serving great food and drink. There's a dedicated parking space and the location is such that you can explore further out by car very easily. We had a great stay and have already booked to go back next year 😁
