The Coach House

The Coach House occupies its own ground floor, opening directly into an open-plan living space where the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen are all on one level. You get a double bed, a bath with shower, and a kitchen fitted with an electric cooker and the essentials for self-catering. The living area has a TV and dining space. Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are included; parking is on site.

This conversion sits within the grounds of a hotel estate near Thirlmere, surrounded by gardens with shared access to a lakeside terrace. The setting puts you at the foot of Helvellyn, and walking begins at the door—either gentle strolls around the water's edge or steeper climbs into the fells. Keswick is five miles away for shops and restaurants. From here, the southern lakes around Grasmere, Windermere and Ambleside are within reach via the mountain pass. The property suits two people and welcomes one dog. No smoking indoors.
