“We holiday in the Lake District usually once a year and Poppy Cottage was the best cottage we have stayed in.”

It was perfect, we would definitely return. Loved the bedroom up the spiral staircase, oh & the bath!! Lovely White Company smellies. Thank you.

“Perfect week in a cozy cottage.”

You don't mind the rain so much when you can come home to fire. Great walks up the Old Man and Coppermines. Brisk walk up to the reservoir from the cottage to clear out any cobwebs.

“The position was fantastic.”

Near enough Coniston but also far enough away. Also, we didn't need to use the car once being able to walk straight from the property. The cottage itself was lovely and well appointed. Ideal for two couples having two double bedrooms with their our great facilities.

The cottage is strolling distance from bustling Coniston village centre and the shores of Coniston Water. Yet it is set in absolute peace and quiet within a dreamy cottage garden. The garden commands breathtaking views of the dramatic surrounding mountains. The panorama includes amazing views of the Old Man Mountain and old copper mines. Complete with waterfalls and luscious bluebell woods on your doorstep. This beautiful place offers a fantastic base from which to explore this vibrant village, the magic of Coniston Water and also the wider Lake District. A tiny lane ends in a terrace of three cottages, dazzling white against the backdrop of the fells. Step inside and be transported to the classy interior. The decor of Poppy Cottage combines contemporary luxury with cosy styling. Cream walls in the open plan living room contrast with beams and glossy oak floorboards. Rich brown leather mixes with cream canvas chairs. At the centre is a wooden spiral staircase. Luxurious bedrooms with sleigh beds and magical views, one with tiny stable door to the garden.

Coniston Water is famous for its part in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons. Peel Island was the setting for the 'Wild Cat Island' featured in the story. The lake is also known for Donald Campbell's water speed record attempt in 'Bluebird'. But the real magic comes from the breathtaking surroundings.
