From the humble beginnings of one property in the Coppermines Valley, Coniston, more than 25 years ago, we have grown into a company that now offers over 80 hand-picked, self-catering Lake District cottages.

While we have added to our collection of cottages significantly over time, our ethos remains the same:

‘‘Providing self-catering cottages of quality & character combined with exceptional personal service’

Winners of the Trip Advisor 'Hall of Fame Award 2015' we are based in the heart of the pretty Coniston village, our little office is open seven days a week and there is always someone here to answer the phone. We pride ourselves on knowing each one of our properties inside and out, meaning we can always give you, as the guest, honest and reliable information.

From secluded mountain cottages for the ultimate escape, to snug village cottages designed for two, here at The Coppermines we have something to suit all needs and desires. We can comfortably accommodate up to 30 people in our larger properties and even have a licence to hold civil wedding ceremonies.

Many of our cottages boast real log fires, walks & cycle paths straight from the door, along with break-taking lake and mountain scenery. Some even have their own private hot tubs or lake access for that extra level of indulgence.

And as a pet friendly company (our office dog Ziggie would agree), the majority of our cottages are pet friendly. We know that no trip to the Lake District is complete without a man (or woman’s) best friend to assist you on the fells, and we wouldn’t want your four-legged pals to miss out.

We recognise that no two customers are alike and that flexibility is key, which is why we are one of the only companies to offer short breaks throughout the year. Full weeks, mid-week and weekend breaks are all available, so whatever your requirements are we are sure to find you the perfect cottage.

The Lake District is constantly voted the UK’s number one holiday destination and with its endless views, vibrant villages and abundance of activities on offer, it’s not hard to see why. Inspiring some of the world’s greatest poets, writers and artists, and providing the backdrop to films, television programmes and even music videos, we can’t help but find it a fantastic place to live and work. So why not let us inspire you in planning your future trip?
