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.

Originally booked for 4 nights but extended for the rest of the week because the cottage was such a delight. Exceptionally clean and cosy. Ideally suited for pubs, restaurants and shops and of course the wonderful walks and lake. The secret garden was an added bonus for our dog who loved exploring. The welcome pack was also greatly appreciated. There is nothing we can think f that was not included. Very thought out and we would definitely book again.

What a wonderful cottage! Beautifully presented and immaculately clean (hats off to the cleaning crew). This cosy cottage had everything we needed for a fantastic week in Coniston, close to the pubs and shops but tucked away in a quiet corner with loads of great walks straight from the door. The secret garden was a delight and we spent a lovely evening admiring the view and listening to the beck. We loved the welcome package (and hidden wine). It was all much appreciated. Very much recommend this cottage (we didn't want to leave!) Thank you for a wonderful week in the Lakes.

We liked it so much we've booked for next year. Here's why it's two minutes walk to the centre of Coniston. The property is spacious, comfortable, well equipped and maintained, and dog friendly. The wild garden was a really unexpected and tranquil bonus. Great communication with Copper mines and the owners. A bit of useful information - the fridge has a small freezer compartment and the Yewdale Inn did great gluten free fish and chips and had two gluten free beers on draft.

Thank you for another lovely stay at No. 6 The Forge last week. We enjoyed every minute of it and did not want to leave. The cottage, as always was warm and cosy and clean, the bed really comfy and the location perfect. Even when it was busy at the pubs it was so quiet at the cottage.
Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay at #6 Forge Cottage. The property is ideally situated in the Village, close to all the amenities, pubs and restaurants.
The property has been renovated to a high standard and is modern and comfortable.
We especially liked the secret garden where our two Bulldog’s could roam and chew on plentiful twigs😀

An excellent cottage for a holiday. Facilities are very good - comfy, warm, well-appointed and well looked after. The garden is an excellent addition. Good bathroom toiletries and good kitchen extras (bread, milk, wine washing up liquid etc) Well equipped kitchen and oven clean too! All as one would expect from a high-end property. Very clean and well maintained.

We stayed at 6 Forge Cottages from 17 to 24 May and had a lovely time there. It's our second time staying in the cottage and it didn't disappoint. Lovely furnishings, well stocked kitchen and bathroom (spa standard!!!😊) and the most comfy bed.
There are so many beautiful walks from the door that we didn't get in the car until we left.

This was our first stay at No.6 The Forge... What a delightful little cottage. Full credit to the owner for all the personal touches - White company products in the bathroom and the kitchen stocked with milk. Tea, coffee, bread, butter, jam and biscuits etc on arrival. The secret garden was a nice surprise and we even enjoyed washing up while watching the Herdwicks in the field from the kitchen window. A big thank you to The Coppermines Team, always helpful and never had any issues. We have booked many different cottages since 2021 and look forward to using your company in the future.

I would like to congratulate No6 The Forge Coniston for being a lovely comfortable Cottage. The log burner was a real bonus, well equipped for all that we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Comfy sofas, hot power shower, under floor heating in bathroom with gorgeous, complimentary products. Towels were luxury. We highly recommend this Cottage as we parked our car for 5 days and walked everywhere to Coniston water, Crown Inn for a delicious meal, Hardwick cafe was brilliant..friendly staff, quality food loved dogs. Logs purchased from your cheery staff at Coppermines shop. This is a hidden gem.. and we will return. Thanks to the owners for maintaining high standards.

I have really enjoyed my stay at No6 The Forge. When we arrived the owners was still here cleaning and they made us feel very welcome. The house is absolutely perfect,spotlessly clean,with new and immaculate furniture. The Internet is very fast, and the Tv had various subscriptions preloaded. Another nice touch was the provision of milk,tea,coffee,bread,dishwasher tablets and washing tabs. A lovely place which I recommend highly.

We had a wonderful mid-week break at N.6 The Forge. The cottage itself was beautiful and clearly loved and cared for by its owners. Spotlessly clean, thoughtful arrival products, fluffy white towels and high-end soaps. The bathroom was bliss! Lovely large comfortable bed and bedding too. Excellent location for walks and refreshments without needing the car. We’ll certainly be back.

We stayed at 6 The Forge, a one bedroom, terraced cottage, where a small path at the rear leads to a small private wooded area. When we stayed we were blessed with lots of sunshine and took advantage of the areas lovely walks and steam gondola. The cottage itself is well equipped and we found a welcome pack, which included milk, bread, coffee, tea, biscuits, wine, dishwasher tablets, soap powder, white company toiletries. There was also a doggy basket too, blanket, bowl, treats. Great bedroom, with a large comfy bed, nice views out of the windows and a short stroll into town, but nicely tucked away, peaceful and quiet. There wasn't anything negative to say about the cottage or the area, loved our stay here. Great artisan bakery on the front street and we enjoyed a nice Indian takeaway from the local restaurant.
