“Beautiful! Beware steep hill.”

I stayed here for a week with my Mum(aged65) and my Dog. It's beautifully renovated, clean and spacious. The two things I think I need to point out are: the cottage is at the top of a very steep hill, for some not a problem, it might be for others if not very fit. My other point is if you have a dog there's nowhere to let it out first thing in the morning or last thing at night. I'm not one for leaping out of bed and going straight out with the dog. I like a coffee before I do anything! Coniston Water is about 15 minutes walk from the cottage, all downhill. We did love the cottage, I really am not critical of it, just wanted to point out a couple of things I wish I had known or checked out before booking it. The lady who lives next door Left hand side if facing door is friendly, it cannot be easy having different neighbours each week of fortnight. There are only three houses with permenant residents, all the rest are holiday lets. Whilst I enjoy staying in these places I do feel it must have a big impact on villages ect. In Coniston Village there's a Co-op shop, a man working there was very unhelpful and miserable. It's also very expensive, to a point I'd call it a rip off. There is a much better shop on way out of village on road out past the Yewdale Hotel/bar. The Yewdale is pleasant, food good and not pricy. I went to the Black Bull Inn three times and always great food.

“Fantastic views”

We had a fabulous stay at Miners Cottage, the finishing s in the cottage were top class and the views from the cottage were fantastic. The walk up the hill is not for the faint hearted but well worth it.

“absolute perfection!”

We came home yesterday from Miners cottage and are missing it already! The position is spectacular being high up on a terrace with far reaching views of the lake and to the side ,The Old Man of Coniston.Pubs and shops are nearby and you can take a steam gondola ride on the lake or a river cruise plus many kinds of water sports.Inside the cottage has the WOW factor. It is spotlessly clean and has been renovated recently, is spacious and decorated in a contemporary way without detracting from the character of the property .Also the double bed is extremely comfortable and I am an insomniac who slept deeply every night. Probably the most relaxing cottage I ever stayed at. .

“100% Perfect - Spectacular Views”

We stayed at Miner's Cottage in June 2013, and from the moment we entered the property we felt at home and relaxed. The owners have thought of everything. The cottage is spacious and spotlessly clean. There are pubs etc within a five minute walk of the cottage, we ate in the Sun, Black Bull and Yewdale Hotel, the food was good in all three. We would recommend staying at Mines Cottage, we've already booked next year. If you're looking for somewhere romantic - this is the place!

The property

Built in 1850, this traditional terraced stone cottage is situated in an elevated location overlooking Coniston village and has stunning views across the lake to Brantwood and Grizedale Forest.

The spectacular sunsets reflect on the length of Coniston Water - the constantly changing views alone will provide a natural theatre all day long.

This Coniston cottage has been lovingly restored to provide beautiful spacious accommodation, including a cosy sitting room with a woodburning stove set in a slate inglenook fireplace, stone floors and feature exposed stone walls, as well as those impressive views of Coniston Water.

Offering two delightful bedrooms, including a spacious king-size room with a charming window seat, this Coniston cottage is perfect for romantic weekends, family holidays or get-togethers with friends.

This Coniston cottage is superbly located to enjoy all the village has to offer.

Enjoy the local Bluebird Bitter in one of the many bars and cafes, most of which have breathtaking views of the Old Man of Coniston.

Coniston has some excellent sporting facilities including fishing, sailing, kayaking, gorge scrambling, mountain climbing and mountain cycling.

For the less energetic, there is always a tranquil glide on the steamboat Gondola, taking you from Coniston across to Brantwood down the length of the lake.

This is a gem of a cottage in Coniston, with perfect lake views.
