  • "Beautiful property, ideal location, quiet and very comfortable."

    Parking a bonus and the welcome pack, very thoughtful and appreciated. Will highly recommend and hopefully visit again soon. Thank you

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Coach House."

    It was warm, comfortable and extremely clean which is so important. The property was very well equipped with everything a guest would need whilst on holiday. The location of the property is very peaceful yet so near to the shops on the promenade as well as a local food store a 3 minute walk away. I would certainly recommend the Coach House to any future guests who are considering a holiday in Arnside as there are so many places to see and picturesque walks to explore the surrounding area.

  • "We spent a lovely two weeks at the coach house in Arnside."

    The owners have worked hard to create a “home from home” feeling as soon as you step through the door. The cottage is well equipped and clean. Our only niggle as with others who have stayed is the size of the television. It really is too small for the room, hence our overall rating of 4 stars for the property rather than 5 stars. The provision of an iron and ironing board would be really helpful.

  • "We had a lovely 4 night stay at The Coach House."

    The house is lovely and in a quiet location for a peaceful night's sleep. Within walking distance to restaurants, pubs and local shops. The house was lovely and clean, instruction manuals for all appliances available, and the tea, coffee, milk & biscuits were a lovely touch, thank you. The only thing i'd like to suggest having available is an iron & ironing board, otherwise everything was great. Communcation with hosts was very good. Thank you Susan & Peter

    Had no noise to disturb us giving us restful sleep. Did get chance to enjoy the rear garden one afternoon. Visited both pubs in the village alon with the chip shop & used the railway station twice. A great base to explore neighbouring towns.

    Good quality china and pans, bedding comfortable.Dishwasher and washer very useful. Only quibble is the bland pictures on the walls-I would have liked local scenes or something more lively. Garden at rear very interesting planting, chairs etc just right.

  • "The Coach House is a great place to stay."

    It is roomy, comfortable, cosy, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. The owners are very helpful and respond quickly to any enquiry you have. We have now stayed in The Coach House twice and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. It also has the benefit of being a 15-20 minute walk to the train station from which you can get to many locations. The only drawback is that it's limited service. If you like fish and chips, then the chippy in Arnside is a must and they deliver! Another must is Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve. Great birdwatching and a reasonable cafe. If you go by train it's very near Silverdale Station. If you like Laurel and Hardy, then a trip to Ulverston, the birth[lace of Stan Laurel, to visit the wonderful Laurel and Hardy Museum is another must. Once again, this can be reached by train.

    Their home is immaculate and has everything you need for the perfect stay with gorgeous walks from the front door and pubs within walking distance. It was so peaceful and so relaxing we will definitely be going back .

  • "The Coach House on arrival was immaculate both outside and in."

    There is room on the drive for two large cars comfortably. The top garden/patio area was peaceful and attractive and with the enviable(!) log bird table/feeders there were lots of different birds to see from the main bedroom. Inside the property was very comfortable indeed. The beds, pillows and linen were comfy. The kitchen was perfect for a rental accommodation and had everything you need to cook meals (crockery, cutlery, ovenware, pans and utensils). The fridge was large and had lots of freezer space. The kitchen appliances and kitchenware were quality. The property was very warm and toastie with the heating on (our stay in October) and turned it off when I lit the gas fire which was warm and cosy. Our only criticism we have is that the television is too small for the lounge. When you have been out and about during the day and the nights drawing in, a larger television that you can see and watch comfortably is a must in the evenings! There is not much to do in Arnside, but there is a lot of local history to learn going back to the 1600's. There are two pubs on the Prom which are very welcoming and friendly and the menus are varied and decently priced. A walk from the property to the Prom is 10/15 minutes. A "Londis" shop is a 3 minute walk on the same road as the property which sells everything. Finally, the location of The Coach House is great to see more of the South Lakes (only 30 minutes to Windermere for example). We "Googled" things to do and see in the South Lakes and had plenty of choices to visit. Any time of the year The Coach House is a "home from home".

  • "The Coach House is a very well presented, clean and comfortable place to stay."

    It met all of our needs for a relaxing time away. Arnside is a beautiful village tucked away on the Kent river estuary with magnificent views over Morecambe Bay. This place is ideal for a quiet break or as a base for the nearby Lake District and Lancashire coast. Very highly recommended.

  • "Expectations were high considering glowing reviews from previous guests."

    Location very good as a base for exploring the area and only a short walk to the shore. Off street parking appreciated. However, there were numerous cobwebs behind the settee, the TV, radiator in the kitchen and in the main bedroom behind the wardrobe, the headboard, on top of the curtains and on the patio door runners and also on the outside lighting. All easily remedied with a stiff broom to the outside and a vacuum for the inside.

  • "Lovely property & certainly the cleanest we've ever stayed in - looked as if the decorators had moved out the day before!"

    Very quiet & peaceful with lovely, rear outlook over the garden from the master bedroom - maybe a couple of small, easy chairs to appreciate the view & birdlife, for use in winter when it's too cold to sit outside? Very handy for Arnside village, shore & station, altho a steep walk back up to the house Nice having a smart TV, even if rather small for the size of the room. Would certainly recommend this property - it was good to return to somewhere warm & welcoming after a day out exploring the many places in the area (Morecambe, Grange, Kendal, etc).

    Checking in and contact with the owners was very easy. The property itself was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. We like to cook for ourselves and found the kitchen to be very well equipped. It was nice to find the owners had left a welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits which was very much appreciated. The property is very well positioned to do lots of local walks and we also had a visit to Heysham. A big thank you to Mr and Mrs Barker, we loved it.

The property

Resting in the former fishing port of Arnside, Cumbria, is this charming detached cottage, The Coach House.

Fabulously decorated with a traditional and homely interior, The Coach House is a lovely setting for a family adventure to The Lake District.

Ample off-road parking greets you on the gravel driveway at the front of the property, perfect for guests wanting to forget about the car and head off to explore the sights on foot.

Stepping into the cottage you're welcomed into a small vestibule, providing a handy space to store muddy boots after the day’s adventure, featuring an adjoining boiler room housing a convenient washing machine to freshen up your walking gear.

Continue through to the sitting area, beautifully-appointed with light and airy décor, and featuring traditional wooden furnishings, encouraging a cosy and inviting atmosphere.

Nestle in around the television on the rustic leather sofa for a well-deserved rest, heating the room with the warmth of the living flame gas fire in the cooler evenings.

The open-plan kitchen/diner also boasts a traditional décor, with a remarkable exposed stone feature wall and contrasting wooden kitchen cupboards, fit with all of the amenities necessary to prepare a heart-warming meal for the family to enjoy gathered around the dining table.

As the evening grows darker, head upstairs where you have the choice of two bedrooms, a king-size or a twin, both decorated with a neutral colour scheme and sustaining the property's delightful traditional character through the wooden furnishings.

The king-size bedroom benefits from patio doors, flooding the room with natural light and leading to the raised garden area at the back of the property, where you can enjoy a refreshing glass of wine with your loved one with a view of the surrounding greenery in the evening.

Completing the first floor is the newly renovated family bathroom, contemporary in design with gleaming silver accents and featuring a bath with an overhead shower, giving you the choice of enjoying a leisurely soak or washing away the day.

Take a stroll into the village of Arnside, home to an array of quaint shops, cafes and restaurants, making a stop at The Albion, a traditional waterfront pub where you can indulge in a well-deserved pit stop and soak in the views across the estuary.

Take on the challenge of the Cross Bay Walk, an 8-mile guided tour crossing the sands of the ever-changing flats and channels of Morecambe Bay to reach the village of Kent's Bank.

Travel further afield to the historic market town of Kendal, home to the Kendal mint cake, where limestone buildings line the streets, housing an array of independent shops to pick up a keepsake of your trip.

Discover the local heritage with a visit to The Quaker Tapestry Museum and the medieval ruins of Kendal Castle or take in the scenic view across the rooftops of Kendal at Serpentine Woods.

Perfectly positioned between both The Lake District National Park and The Yorkshire Dales National Park, there are plenty of walking, hiking and cycling routes within easy reach to suit all abilities.

Thrill seekers can climb to the summit of Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England or explore the exciting depths of White Scar Cave in the Yorkshire Dales.

The Coach House is your perfect base for a memorable trip to the Lakes,

ARNSIDE

Kendal 10 miles; Windermere 17 miles.

Arnside is situated on the southernmost tip of the Lake District in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where low limestone hills, marshy plains and deciduous woodlands characterise the surrounding land. This former fishing port has retained many of the features from its past. The beautiful pier and port areas of the village offer stunning views across the Kent Estuary, as well as providing an enduring reminder of Arnside's illustrious history. To the south of the village are the 15th century Pele Towers, which were constructed to defend against the marauding Scots. The local surrounding area is a nature lover's paradise with stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks through countryside alive with rare plants, trees and wildlife. The internationally renowned Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is also just one mile away. Guided walks across the Kent Estuary are available, showing the full splendour of the shore and surrounding area. Within easy touring distance are the Lake District and Lune Valley, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland.
