Offering the largest collection of cottages in the Coniston area, The Coppermines Lakes Cottages are the local experts. Independent Agents, locally owned, managed and staffed since 1982. The business was originally developed from the humble restorations of the historic Coppermines buildings, situated in the Coniston Coppermines Valley by Philip Johnston and his family who still own our business today, making us one of the last independent agencies here in the Lake District. Over the years we have significantly grown to now offer over 90 hand-picked, unique, self-catering Lake District cottages (many pet-friendly), all of which are situated within the UNESCO World Heritage boundary.

A charming, family, stone-built home-from-home with driveway, private garden and with village amenities, incredible walks and the lake nearby. Perfectly situated minutes from Coniston village centre is the delightfully charming Green Croft. Refurbished to a very high standard, this beautiful family home offers all who visit a stylish, yet functional base to rest their heads. Real care and attention to detail is apparent throughout the cottage which culminates in a real 'home from home' feel. For lovers of all things 'outdoor' a myriad of footpaths and cycle ways can be accessed easily from the front door and for those who enjoy a much gentler pace the delights of Coniston village are all within walking distance too! In essence this comfortable home is a must for couples, families, friends and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
