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 had a great stay at Old Quarry Cottage. Communication from your team was prompt, responsive and helpful from the point of booking until the end of our stay. The cottage was available for us to access from early afternoon which was really helpful and welcome. Access and parking were a bit challenging but exactly as described so we knew what to expect! Once the car is parked up the services in the village and excellent bus service mean that there is no need to use the car for the duration of the stay if you choose not to. The cottage was exactly as described and was spotlessly clean and warm and welcoming on arrival. The location is great and the view from the back of the house is truly spectacular. The closest pub is The Sun which also happens to be the best in the village in our opinion, but it is equally convenient to visit the other fantastic pubs in the vicinity. Lots of great walks from the doorstep with easy access to the railway path and lake shore if it’s not a day for the fells. We had a fantastic break over the Christmas period and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Old Quarry Cottage to family and friends looking for a break in the Coniston area. Thanks to the Coppermines team for helping to make our stay so memorable.

We had one of the most enjoyable trips to Coniston, and our stay in Old Quarry Cottage was a big part of that. Probably one of the nicest, homely and well located holiday cottages we have stayed in on our yearly UK holidays. It is worth if for the view alone. As we were well warned of the car access to the cottage we can't complain although it is a tricky drive up there, but the location and view make it worth it. The only criticism I would make, or rather a suggestion is to perhaps install a small handrail in the bathroom at the side of the bath, it would help more senior people, my mum is in her 70's and fit enough, but commented that that would have helped in and out of the shower. Apart for that, all in, a wonderful stay and I would certainly recommend the cottage to anyone thinking of visiting the beauty of Coniston and it's local pubs and attractions. Many thanks to the Coppermines Team for your service and organisation, very good communication and organisation. We will definitely return!

We had a fantastic time - a superb location with the most amazing views - walked from the house on every day but one. The cottage is brilliant and its position is so special- a brilliant experience- thank you.

We had a very enjoyable stay last week in Old Quarry cottage. The cottage was clean and comfortable and in a stunning location and is definitely one we would consider for our next holiday in Coniston.

The cottage's elevated position gave us the most stunning view of Coniston and the lake.
It was very well-equipped, comfortable and absolutely spotless.
There were walks near the cottage, including the old railway track, for our dog, which was great. We strolled down into the village to go to the shops and pubs and power walked back up the hill.
We had a fantastic week exploring the Lake District and will definitely be back.

Fantastic cottage with a wonderful view and lovely balcony from which to appreciate it. Had a problem with a slow filling toilet that when we reported it to the office was fixed immediately, so excellent service.

What a great spot - at the top of the bank, not overlooked by anyone and with an amazing view of lake & fells, and just a 10 minute walk into the village. Lovely comfortable bedrooms, a great living room, powerful, hot shower, well equipped kitchen and beautiful balcony to sit out on. I was working during my stay and the broadband went down at one point but the host was very responsive and brought a 4g hotspot to use until it was fixed the following day (Openreach had broken it while doing some other work). Plenty of walks right out the back of the property, with footpaths straight up to the old man, and the old railway line going off south to the Ship Inn. Highly recommended and I'll stay here again if I'm back in Coniston.

We loved our stay in your cottage and quite happily have stayed longer. This was a perfect size for us with great facilities. Everything was as described including the advice for parking for a small or medium sized car. Ours is a Nissan Micra and we had no problems. The view from the lounge and front bedroom windows are stunning. Our main reason for visiting the Lakes is fell walking. Coniston, although not large, has enough local amenities and good pubs to more than satisfy our needs and is a great base for what we enjoy. Thank you.

This is the second Coppermines cottage which we have stayed in and again we are beyond impressed with the location and facilities! Even an arrival during a power cut didn't really put a dampener on it...just had to go to the pub instead, which is never going to be a hardship!
