Exceeded even optimistic expectations

This property offers absolutely everything. An extraordinary amount of thoughtfulness has been dedicated to the needs of guests. We were so impressed. Such a quaint, spacious and inviting cottage which was a pleasure to come home to at the end of each day. The owners are absolutely lovely and so approachable and caring. Only 3 or 4 mins drive to the cute village of Hawkeshead where there's a place to have coffee 'n cake, eat or meal or just have a mosey around. There is also a small supermarket and a baker. The next time we return to the Lake District we won't hesitate to stay at Coppice again.

3 DAY BREAK

I am visiting from Australia & I rented the property specifically for the location on Lake Windermere & to catch up with a school friend who I haven’t seen in person for 52 years! We had a super time the location was perfect. The property was excellent - a home away from home with everything supplied. The cabin was spotlessly clean, modern, comfortable just excellent and we would both thoroughly recommend.

The perfect place to stay!

This is a very special place to stay. The house is beautiful, tastefully styled with a gorgeous outlook. It has everything that you need including a great outdoor area. It is a close walk to dinner at Boland Bridge and the walks that Rebecca and Phil recommend are fantastic. I highly recommend this property and Rebecca and Phil were terrific hosts. Thank you!
