Is The Old Coach House Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
The games room with table tennis provides hours of entertainment. A cot and highchair are available for younger children. The spacious garden offers safe outdoor play space. Walking routes from the doorstep suit older children who enjoy hiking. Windermere Steamboat Museum and World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness provide excellent days out within 10 minutes drive.
For Couples
The Old Coach House works better for larger groups than couples alone. The four-bedroom layout and multiple living spaces feel oversized for two people. However, couples joining friends or family will appreciate the master bedroom's en-suite bathroom with double-ended bath and bay window. The open fire in the drawing room and peaceful study with fell views create romantic spaces. The garden provides private outdoor relaxation.
Pet Friendly
One dog is welcome at The Old Coach House. Dogs must remain downstairs and off furniture to protect future guests with allergies. The garden provides excellent outdoor space for your dog to explore safely. Walking routes start directly from the cottage, making exercise convenient. Troutbeck's quiet lanes and surrounding fells offer fantastic dog walking opportunities without needing to drive elsewhere first.
