About this property

Cottage With Views Of Esthwaite Water, an Osprey Nest and Close To Hawkshead

A luxury 1 bedroom cottage, regularly upgraded, in the grounds of Rough Close House, separated from the main house by a court yard. All the rooms are seperate, there is a lot of space for two. Accommodation is for 2 adults only. There is ample, easy off road parking.
Visitors may also spot the ospreys which nest on Esthwaite Water. Their nest can be seen from the Coppice lounge normally. The ospreys usually arrive late March or early April and leave at the end of August. They have had chicks each year recently and there are now four nesting pairs in the area.
The property is ideally placed for wide range of activities including walking, mountain biking, fishing, or sight-seeing. Whichever you choose we hope you will enjoy your stay at the Coppice.

Beautiful accommodation in an idyllic setting. Host were very welcoming and made us feel at home. I would highly recommend this accommodation.Only thing to be aware of is the area can be very busy and parking can be difficult and expensive.Very narrow country lanes are challenging when driving around.

Excellent in every respect

We were only staying for 2 nights but would like to go back to stay a week next time. Very comfortable and spacious accommodation for two; with 4 good-sized rooms (including the bathroom) it is larger than it appears from the outside. Beautiful situation and I would imagine some good areas for walking nearby although we didn't have time to explore.

Wonderful!

We had a fantastic stay at this gem of an apartment! The location was perfect, just a stones throw away from stunning lakes and charming villages. The apartment itself was beautifully furnished, immaculately clean and super cosy. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and informative. We can’t wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Gill & Geoff Barton

Host profile image
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.
