Wood, firelighters and matches are not provided but are available from the garage in Coniston. The hot water system is powered by a gas boiler.
The cottage is situated in the Coppermines Valley next to YHA Coniston Coppermines, less than a mile north west of Coniston village. The track up from Coniston village has a gravel surface but is easily driven up in most cars. Sat Nav can get you almost there but for the last bit it’s worth looking for the YHA. The address is:
