Description At A Glance Location Testimonials

A cosy and welcoming home for up to 4 guests located in "The Banks" area of Coniston, renowned for its amazing lake views thanks to its elevated position.

Situated just south of the village centre, is this delightful, whitewashed end of terrace property. Located in a quiet area of Coniston called 'The Banks', the cottage is still within walking distance of the village & all of its amenities.

Historically cottages on 'The Banks' were originally built in the 1850s for employees of the Coniston Copper Company and it is likely the middle management lived here, appreciating its views and close proximity to the village.

Today Poppy Cottage is a cosy and welcoming home, refurbished to a comfortable standard by its present day owners. Ideally situated this cosy cottage enjoys immediate access onto the surrounding open fells and the delights of the village are less than a 10 minute stroll downhill. The cottage enjoys fantastic views from the master bedroom which looks out towards Coniston Water and the rolling Grizedale hills beyond.

In essence Poppy Cottage is perfect for couples, friends and small families looking to explore the delights of Coniston and the surrounding Lakes area.

This was our third visit to poppy cottage. It still has a special charm. If the weather is poor just light the log burner and get a good book out.

Booking process was very straightforward, being able to transfer booking from last year due to Covid situation was a huge bonus. Cottage is in an ideal location for an active holiday, while being in easy reach of village facilities.

This year will be our third time choosing to stay at Poppy Cottage. It is comfortable, good beds, homely, well appointed (including an open fire place) and a short walking distance away from the lake at which point you are able to catch boats to all other destinations around the Lake. There is good evening restaurant in the village as well as fish & chips and at the boat yard there is an all day cafe. No improvements are necessary. We will definitely return.

Our first impressions on the cottage were very good. When our kettle stopped working a replacement was sorted out instantly. Our stay was very comfortable. If I return to Coniston I would certainly use Coppermines again.
