The Latest News from The Coppermines and Lakes Cottages

Jenny Thwaites (RHS) presents Phil with the award, with Martin Hodgson (Finance Director Cumbria Tourism) to the left.

Our marquee proved very popular and it was nice to meet up with old friends and introduce The Lakes to new people.
Thanks to all the hard work of the staff from Levens, Muncaster, Honister, The World of Beatrix Potter, Distincly Cumbrian and The Coppermines our marquee was decorated with plants, shrubs and trees and we were one of 34 stands out of 200 to win a commendation from the RHS for our efforts !

08/06/2007 - Chapel Bank House, Coniston Village - NEW FROM SUMMER 2007

A most unusual propety, laid out over three floors to take advantage of the beautiful views to Coniston Water.

Set just above Gateside at the southern edge of the village, it has been cleverly converted from a former Methodist chapel, built in 1859, with a lot of thought and quality detail.

It is very spacious, mainly wood or slate flooring with carpet in the bedrooms. It has gas central heating throughout, and has entrances on two levels, from the upper & lower lanes next to the property.
