Poppy Cottage

Poppy Cottage, an enchanting, 200-year-old cottage, is set on the lower slopes of a mountain above the ever-popular village of Coniston. A stay at Poppy Cottage will give you the opportunity to experience the very best of both worlds – situated just a short walk away from the bustling Coniston village centre and the shores of Coniston Water. However, with this dreamy cottage, set in it’s own garden, you also get total tranquillity, peace and quiet. A narrow lane takes you to three terraced cottages, bright white against the backdrop of the fells. Inside Poppy Cottage you will find contemporary luxury with snug styling. The living room is open plan, with wooden beams and glossy oak floorboards. Rich brown leather mixes with cream canvas chairs. At the centre is a wooden spiral staircase that leads to one of the bedrooms and through a door in the lounge will lead you via a few steps to the other two bedrooms. Poppy Cottage has plush bedrooms with wonderful sleigh bed frames and magnificent views, one bedroom has a tiny stable door leading to the garden. The second bedroom features a fabulous freestanding rolltop bath. The property feels generous throughout, including the Shaker-style kitchen, which is lavishly equipped. When the weather is warm, there is a large garden complete with furniture, perfect for watching the sunset after a magical day. The garden itself offers stunning views of the dramatic surrounding landscape, including breathtaking vistas of Old Man Mountain and the old copper mines. Additionally, there are waterfalls and lush bluebell woods right on your doorstep. Poppy Cottage serves as a fantastic base from which to explore this vibrant village, the majesty of Coniston Water, and the wider Lake District National Park.
