Perfectly situated minutes from Coniston village centre is the delightfully charming Green Croft.

Coniston is simply an excellent base for any Lake District holiday. The village is packed with friendly pubs, local shops and lively cafes and there is incredible walking straight from the village centre, including the iconic Coniston Old Man. The village enjoys ample access to Coniston Water lake shore, with Coniston Boating Centre offering paddle-boarding, kayaking, sailing and more. There are also plenty of opportunities for wild-swimming including the lake, beautiful mountain tarns and the picturesque Church Beck river with its stunning waterfalls and deep, crystal clear pools. For cyclists, there are spectacular off-road mountain biking trails including those at nearby Grizedale Forest, as well as some stunning road routes through some of the country's most beautiful scenery.

For those who enjoy a quieter pace, The Ruskin Museum, which depicts the fascinating history of the area including the famous water speed record attempt of Donald Campbell is a must visit. While on the eastern shores of the lake lies Brantwood, the Victorian home of John Ruskin, where visitors can explore the historic house and vibrant arts centre and enjoy some delicious food from The Terrace cafe with its breath-taking lake and mountain views.

The wider Lake District area is also very easily accessible from Coniston, with popular destinations such as Ambleside, Bowness and Windermere just a short drive away.

The cottage was really nice with excellent views of the fell side, very close to all the amenities in Coniston and a lovely stroll to Coniston Water. This was our young grandsons first visit to Coniston and they love it and can't wait to come back.

Great location for walking and cycling, with useful amenities nearby. Cottage was perfect for our family of four. We found the email to advise that the cottage was ready earlier than expected very helpful.

The Cottage is situated in a fabulous location and clean. Right in the centre of Coniston but on a quiet street. Kitchen well stocked. Nice shower in the upstairs bathroom and nice touch to have soap in all bathrooms.

An amazing cottage and in a central place in Coniston, which means you are not reliant on your car. Everything in the house was perfect, clean and well thought of. Green Croft is dog friendly and our pooch Ruby loved her stay here. The log burner was an added luxury and we enjoyed it after a wet day walking. Beds comfortable and enough wardrobe space and hangers for all of our walking gear and clothes. We will be coming back soon and will be recommending to our friends and family!

We have stayed at Green Croft several times abd always have a very comfortable stay in an ideal location for many beautiful walks. We have been booking with Coppermines Cottages for many years (approx 15) and always know we will have value for money and a perfect cottage to stay in.

Spent a family weekend at Greencroft this weekend. What a PERFECT place to stay. Handy location for pubs, shops, fish n chips. What impressed me the most was the place was not only spotless and beautifully decorated but the fact it was all festive and non-clinical. What a great find, great location and wonderful home from home

Great location at start of path to Old Man but still right in the centre of the village. Nice garden with plentiful seating. Good accommodation with everything you need and excellent local information file. Good booking process. Coppermines Valley itself is great with plenty of different walks long and short on the doorstep so no need to drive. We did Old Man, Wetherlam and the valley to Tarn Hows. Lots of information about mining dotted around the valley. Lots of food options if you want to eat out, we stopped at supermarket in Kendal to get essentials on the way.

This is the third time we have visited the property if I need say more? The property itself is decorated to a high standard capturing the cosy elements of the lakes such as wood burner, with well appointed appliances and underfloor heating in kitchen and luxury bathrooms and deep piled carpets upstairs. Having visited both to walk with adult groups and as a family with two young children the property is suitable for all. Arriving late with the kids on a Friday night and unprepared - Fish & Chip shop approx 400 yards away. Spar the same. Pub(s) the same! Coniston Lake 15 mins on foot with a play park on route. For the walkers; direct footfall to Old Man and The Sun Inn as you reward with home cooked food, ale and a combo of dog clad locals and fellow ramblers.
