A beautiful, cosy cottage tucked away across a picturesque river yet close to all the amenities of Coniston village, the lake and stunning fell walks

Number 3 The Forge is nestled within a row of cosy terraced cottages, originally built to house the 19th century copper miners who toiled in the beautiful valley above. Having undergone major refurbishments, Number 3 The Forge now benefits from a host of mod cons yet manages to maintain its original cottage charm.

This beautiful terrace stone and slate built cottage has an advantageous positioning, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Yewdale Road, yet close enough to access all the amenities Coniston village has to offer. A cosy & romantic hideaway, the presence of quality is apparent throughout thanks to the owners, who have lavished much care and attention on its restoration.

There is a secluded terraced patio and gravelled garden to the rear of the property, a haven, and perfect for sitting out and admiring the dramatic backdrop of the surrounding woodland and fells. The front of the property offers a fantastic aspect over the bubbling church beck which runs through the heart of Coniston.

No 3 The Forge is situated next door to No. 2 The Forge and No.4 The Forge. The three individual properties combined have the ability to sleep 12, perfect for larger families.

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.

In short, Coniston offers everything you could possibly want of a Lake District holiday - all right on your doorstep.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at no 3 the forge. We have had no problems with anything. Extremely happy with cleanliness and being comfortable. We have stayed with Coppermines quite a few times over the years and we keep coming back as the service you provide in the office is always excellent and cottages always lovely.

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage is a great location for getting out on the fells while being very handy for village amenities. The cottage was warm and cosy, and the kitchen and bathroom facilities were excellent.

We have had a great week at No.3 the Forge. Very welcoming and comforting cottage. We have walked all around Coniston including the Old Man of Coniston. Visited Hawkshead, Ambleside, Bowness on Windermere and Grizedale Forest. We can recommend the bakery, Indian, chippy and the Black Bull. Thank you for having us, we will be back.

A lovely cottage with beautiful views. Coniston is full of character with picturesque walks and delicious fudge. The fire was great to heat up the house on a rainy day. I would definitely recommend The Forge Cottages for any family wanting an adventure week in the Lake District.
