Perfect holiday cottage

This is a fantastic cottage in a lovely location. There is a very spacious living room, well equipped kitchen and dining area, large comfortable bedroom and a good size bathroom with a shower. It is in lovely grounds and overlooks Esthwaite Water. The hosts Geoff and Gill are very nice and helpful with their knowledge of the area. They provided a welcome pack on our arrival. We enjoyed our little chats with them when we were on our way out each day. We are already thinking of our next visit here. Would highly recommend.

Comfy base in lovely location

The Coppice is beautifully presented and very quiet and comfy. Gill and Geoff gave us a warm welcome and were helpful throughout. The lovely basket of goodies awaiting us even included some mini Easter eggs! We were lucky to coincide with this year's first sightings of the ospreys - binoculars recommended. We enjoyed our long-overdue return to this part of the Lakes and there were enough breaks in the rain to take advantage of walks - dont miss Tarn Hows - National Trust properties - Hill Top is wonderful - and explore local villages.

About the host

Hosted by Gill & Geoff Barton

Gill and Geoff Barton are the owners of Rough Close House and Coppice.
Having retired, we are still excited to be able to live in the heart of the Lake District in a beautiful location. We have worked in the area for over 30 years and have a background in sport and outdoor pursuits, so we know how to enjoy it and where to go, even pubs and coffee shops!

Why they chose this property

Knowing the Lake District very well we looked over the whole of the area before choosing Rough Close because of it's fantastic setting between Grizedale forest and Esthwaite Water. It is a beautiful location in any weather and at any time of year.

What makes this property unique

It is quiet and picturesque, yet very close Hawkshead and central to some of the Lake Districts' finest and most famous visitor attractions. The Coppice has been luxuriously updated and is maintained to to a high standard. It is very spacious and will certainly help you to make the best of your stay in the Lake District.
