Is Coachmans Country Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
This cottage is designed specifically as an adult retreat and sleeps only two people in one bedroom. While children aren't prohibited, the romantic setting with hot tub, slipper bath and high-end furnishings makes it better suited for adults.

We had such a lovely stay at the cottage! It was spotlessly clean and really well equipped, including a hot tub which was perfect after a busy day. You can tell a lot of care has gone into the decor and details - I loved spotting all the ornaments and little touches that made it feel special. Watching the animals and birds outside the window with those stunning Cumbrian views was just perfect. Highly recommend!
Emma Clarke
We arrived and instantly felt at home, greeted warmly by the host. The cottage itself was spotless and well-equipped, making our stay really comfortable. The views from the hot tub were breathtaking, especially watching the alpacas, llamasand emus wander about - such a quirky touch! The host was super helpful whenever we had questions. It's a perfect base for exploring Cumbria and unwinding in a peaceful setting. We loved it!

Lovely experience
Emily Carter
From the moment we arrived, it's clear so much care and love has gone into this place. We left feeling totally relaxed, refreshedand eager to return. The stunning view, the grandeur of the nearby manorand the peaceful gardens really made it special. Plus, the animals, hot tuband serene surroundings were just perfect. Honestly, it's like a little slice of heaven. We felt so lucky to stay here; can't recommend it enough!
James
We stayed at Coachman's Cottage in late January 2024. The place is part of a charming set of three buildings, with the Big House being the old Rectory and the cottage once serving as servant quarters. It's quite remote, around 17 miles from Penrith, which adds to its cosy, secluded vibe. The cottage is really well looked after, everything works perfectlyand it's fully equipped. Just a heads up-if you light the log burner, turn down the underfloor heating first, or it gets super warm! Definitely a lovely spot.
Emma
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage! It's much roomier than the pictures suggest, which was a nice surprise. The view from the hot tub and loungers is simply stunning, perfect for relaxing. The owners are genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed - we even ended up chatting for ages and exploring the manor. The village nearby is charming and just a short walk away. Overall, a great spot and we're already thinking of coming back!
Emma
We absolutely loved this cosy cottage! It's perfectly situated for exploring the Lakes and Penninesand the view from the living room is truly stunning. Watching the llamas, alpacasand emus grazing was such a highlight, adding to the peaceful vibe. The hosts are friendly and really helpful. It's a great spot to unwind, we'd definitely go back!
James
Great stay, lovely hosts, beautiful location, really enjoyed it!
