  Absolutely beautiful place! Stunning views and such a well kept place. Beautiful outside dining area just out the front of the cottage. Perfect location, 3 mins walk to the pub and on the path to old man Coniston. Can't recommend enough

  Absolutely beautiful cottage in the perfect location, a 3 min walk into the town so you don't get any noise. The views are worth the price alone! Lovely decor and huge rooms. Definitely has the traditional cottage feel thanks to the wood burning stove and stone floors. Would absolutely go again, already actually planning a revisit to this place!

  We had a lovely stay in the Cottage. It has been ideal base for us, really enjoyed checking out the cottage and exploring the views. We have enjoyed seeing the village and lake in all weathers this weekend, including walking in snow! We're looking forward to another visit, thank you.

  We had a wonderful time in the Cottage and felt like at home. However, the weather wasn't great but we managed to get half way up the Old Man. Thank you for a very relaxing stay.

  Miner's Cottage is a lovely retreat with great views over the lake and village of Coniston. We stayed with our two year old daughter and the house was fine for us as a small family. The cottage was much bigger inside than we expected and was really well equipped as well as being very clean.

  Wonderful long weekend in Coniston. Cottage is an ideal base for walks in the hills and around the lakes and close to local pubs and shops. Great stay!

• Airbnb: January 2020

  We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cosy cottage. It was rather warm, clean and quiet in the house. The location of the cottage was perfect, it is situated at the hill so you can enjoy a marvellous view over the town and lake. Tourist spots and shops are within easy walking distance and there are several hiking routes not far from the town to get rid of weight you gained after eating delicious food in the pubs and restaurants nearby. So inspite of cold winter weather, our stay was unforgettable.

  Mandy's cottage is a really lovely place to stay, on the hill above Coniston with great views of the lake. Neat, clean and tidy. We'd recommend it to anyone.

  Mandy’s Miners Cottage is a quaint cottage, which is well appointed with everything you need. The views are spectacular and the local village is a stones throw away with lovely pubs and shops etc. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

  Wow! the cottage exceed our expectations. The area is so beautiful, perfect for a short break. Thanks again for an amazing time!

  Miners Cottage is a fantastic cottage and overall location. The cottage itself is first class in terms of its facilities and comfort and the location is so good! We will definitely be returning.

• Airbnb: November 2019

  Mandy's place will suit couple/s or small family. The property boasts most conveniences, with the 2nd downstairs WC a bonus. The log burner is a focal point in the living room and adds real comfort after autumn/winter walks.

  Lovely stay in a fabulous cottage. Views are fantastic and a great base for walking. Weather was great which helped! All the facilities you would want at the cottage. Highly recommend Steam Bistro, but need to book early. Ship Inn convenient along the old railway line. Along with the walking, also enjoyed trips to Muncaster Castle (great bird of prey show) and the Ravenglass to Eskdale miniature railway.

  A fantastic week, lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Rode the bike tracks in Grizedale twice, walked up Old Man, biked at Whinlatter Forrest, kayaked on Windermere, walked to Tarn How and did a lovely walk from Hawkshead. Amazing weather, stunning scenery and loads of activity for 2 energetic boys. Played lots of pool upstairs at The Sun and had a delicious Sunday roast there. Wonderful :)

  Family staying at Raymond Priestly Centre and this cottage was a very welcome get-away with with fantastic facilities, beautiful views and it was very cool in the 29 degree weather we have experienced. I would highly recommend and hope to return next year.

  This is by far the most peaceful and yet convenient cottage we have stayed in. Excellent facilities with all local amenities within Coniston village. Walking right on the doorstep and we had excellent weather for the whole week.

• Visitors Book: July 2019

  Love this cottage. Good views, very cosy, slept like an angel all week. Ate at Steam Bistro twice as booked before arriving - gorgeous food. Thank you Mandy for a perfect stay.

• Trip Advisor: July 2019

  Beautiful cottage, all the home comforts, situated at one of the highest points above lovely Coniston. Fantastic scenery and great places to eat and drink within 5 to 10 minutes walk. The owner has left an advisory guide and I recommend you read the guest books, these will only make a great holiday even better. There are no bad places to eat in town - all are good! The little garden terrace is an excellent place to relax, read, view the spectacular scenery and enjoy a glass of wine. I would revisit again at the drop of a hat. Excellent!

• Visitors Book: June 2019

  Fantastic accommodation, wonderful scenery, all home comforts. Couldn't eat at Steam Bistro - booking essential. All other eating recommendations followed - all excellent. Best week away we have had in a long time.

  A very enjoyable week in the cottage , which is well equipped and comfortable. Enjoyed the take away pizza's and meals in the Yewdale Inn. Recommend a visit or a walk to the Three Shires Inn.

  Arrived a day late because of snow! But lovely when we did get here. Have stayed in many, many cottages and this is one of the good ones. Lovely and warm!!

• Visitors Book: January 2019

  Great location, I could spend hours looking at the view. Can't find any fault with the cottage, everything you need is here. Out of the various cottages we've stayed at, this is definitely our favourite. All the best for 2019.

  Great stay - shame the cumbrian weather "stuck in"! Lovely Cottage, so hot but very cosy. Thanks again.

  A lovely step out of the rat race in a lovely cottage.We really enjoyed the cottage and the area and slowed down beautifully. Lovely walk from the front door. Enjoyed the views and the birds - big fat robin was the best :) Our favourite pub was The Sun, huge portions of food, really friendly and cosy, and tips landlord!! Miner's Cottage was lovely and clean, well organised, loved the wood burner :) We would definitely be back. Thank you.

• Visitors Book: December 2018

  Thank you for the fantastic week we spent in your cottage at the beginning of November. We have been a few times now, and each time we can hardly believe what a perfect spot it is to enjoy our favourite corner of The Lakes. We had numerous wet and muddy walks in stunning autumn scenery, and a week of cosy nights in, relaxing in the warmth and peace of Miners Cottage.

• Lakes Cottage Holidays: November 2018

  Miners Cottage is a gem! It has been carefully and thoughtfully refurbished to a high standard and comprehensively equipped. It’s location above but near to the facilities in Coniston is ideal and the view from the front windows is breathtaking and ever changing. Altogether a holiday to remember.

• Google: November 2018

  Fantastic cottage with all the amenities to make for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Coniston was, as usual, a great place to visit with the lakeland hills on the doorstep and a variety of excellent pubs. Our favourite was the Black Bull and the coniston bluebird beer, together with great food and a proper pub atmosphere. Look forward to visiting again and most certainly say in the Miner's Cottage.

  Stunning cottage with beautiful views, and perfect hosts. We often talk about wanting to come back - by far the best holiday we’ve had this year. Can’t wait to return - hopefully next year some time!! Thanks for your hospitality Mandy.

  Lovely place, incredible views. If you visit consiston water pop in you won’t be disappointed.

  What a super little cottage - beautifully renovated and with every comfort. With fantastic views over Coniston and several routes to the Old Man on the doorstep, this is a perfect location for walkers. And what's better than to come home to a log fire at the end of the day. We've been twice and have a 3rd booking in the diary. Definitely a little gem. Don't think twice about booking if you're looking for you holiday base in Coniston.

  Fantastic cottage, wonderful views and lovely communicative host. Will return. A highlight of our trip to England.

• Visitors Book: October 2018

  Great Views, great location, great cottage!

• Airbnb: August 2018

  Beautifully presented and practical cottage. The location is perfect for exploring the Lake District...there is so much to see and explore within a 30 minute drive. The views across Conniston from the cottage are stunning, the front garden is a perfect place to relax in the evening and take on the breathtaking views. The cottage is extremely well equipped and finished to a high standard. The utility room came in handy and the log burner was amazing :) Thank you Mandy, the Miners cottage was perfect for our holiday in the lakes :)

• Airbnb: July 2018

  Beautiful clean cottage in superb location.

The views were excellent out of all the cottages we have stayed in in the Lake District this has the most impressive views.we will definitely be returning to this lovely cottage It was only a 7 min walk to The Black Bull pub which served their one local beer brewed on site we ate there several times and were not disappointed with any of the meals.

• Airbnb: April 2018

  Great house. Great location. Great host. Loved it!

• Trip Advisor: March 2018

  We stayed for a week at the beginning of March during the heavy snowfall. It is a stunning cottage with every amenity you might need and the views are breathtaking. Mandy was such help and so accommodating! The local pubs (The Ship) and restaurants were great and we didn’t really need to venture out of Coniston to eat! The location is perfect for hiking and we will definitely visit again! Thanks for an amazing stay :)

• Airbnb: March 2018

  We had the most fantastic stay at Miners Cottage. It was warm, immaculately clean and tidy, with a massive kitchen and stunning views. It snowed while we were there, and temperatures went down to -3 degrees - we were more than warm enough and were amazed at how well the house was insulated! It really felt like home, and was a great space to come back to after a long walk. Cannot recommend highly enough!

• Airbnb: February 2018

  Miner’s cottage met all our expectations and more! It’s a truly magical location and the house is kitted out with everything you’d need to make it home for a week. The views are amazing too. We had the most pleasant stay and would definitely recommend it. Mandy is a great host, very informative and welcoming.

• Trip Advisor: November 2017

  The cottage is very comfortable and has everything needed. It is well appointed and tastefully furnished and we have enjoyed our short stay here immensely. We’d love to be able to spend more time enjoying the walks and many drives you can do, to take in and enjoy all the stunning scenery that is abound in this beautiful part of the world. Thanks to Mandy for great communications making our stay here so easy and relaxing. I would recommend Miner’s Cottage to any couple or small family.
