Description
The Coach House at Brackenthwaite Farm is a former barn converted in the 1980s into a 3-bedroom property and an adjacent 2-bedroom property now called Corner Cottage (1135533). Nestled in the heart of The Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape, just south of The Lake District, and recently refurbished in 2023, The Coach House has a stylish, modern interior whilst retaining all the charm of an old building with exposed beams and natural limestone features. The ground floor layout is open plan to make most effective use of the space and create a inviting, inclusive living area.
Upstairs at the first level are a double bedroom, twin bedroom that overlooks The Courtyard, and family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. Up a further half level is the master bedroom with a super king size bed or an additional twin bed setup if requested at the time if booking. From this bedroom there are views out towards The Yorkshire Dales National Park. Throughout, the property is extremely well maintained and includes some lovely, homely touches.
The property opens into a shared open-fronted porch with its neighbour, Corner Cottage, and both have use of the same Laundry Room that sists between the two. In here you will find a washing machine, clothes drier, vacuum, and other cleaning equipment you may never want to look at while on holiday. The Coach House is located in The Courtyard at Brackenthwaite Farm where you also have allocated parking for two vehicles and a wonderful view of the stables, which sometimes house the horses of other holiday makers. Additional parking is available in The Courtyard, if required. The Courtyard is also a prime location to watch the resident white doves as well as nesting barn swallows who visit the farm every April to September.
While The Courtyard can be fully enclosed to provide safety and security for dogs and/or children, to the front of the site just beyond The Courtyard is The Orchard. This is a 2 ½ acre fully enclosed field that proves extremely popular with children and dogs. In it you will find a children’s play area climbing frame, swings, and trampoline, a square pitch for playing ball sports, dog exercise area with throwers, balls and other toys provided, a ‘chill out zone’ with tree swing and bench seating, and a grand, in-ground fire pit should you wish to spend an evening with your family or friends around a crackling fire, sharing stories or toasting marshmallows.
It is from The Orchard where you might also like to start a walk that takes you on a 1-mile route around the farm estate. On this walkabout you will pass some lovely views and sights including an enclosed wildlife area, new wooded areas, an open wildflower meadow, and meet some of the other resident animals onsite including Kunekune pigs, sheep, goats, hens, ducks, and other poultry. All of these are pets, there for enhancing the visitor experience. The latter also provide some of the most excellent free-range eggs!
The property comes with a charcoal fired BBQ as standard, to be used at your pleasure. A smaller fire pit is also available with no additional charge by request during your stay.
Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1135531 and 1135533 to sleep up to 12 guests in total.

What guests are saying
Very welcoming and friendly.
We all loved the location. The coach house was clean and warm. We were a group of three adults with three dogs and stayed for a week. We found the cottage comfortable and cozy and well equipped. We were all impressed with the quality and comfort of the beds. The dogs loved the off lead paddock. Very exciting finding new sniffs in all the different areas.
The Coach House was fabulous!
The welcome pack for the dogs with bowls and bags was lovely- and the dogs exercise yard was amazing. The dogs will definitely want to come back! The house was spotless, the kitchen exceptionally well equipped and the bedrooms were all cosy and had lots of storage. It was a great base to visit Arnside, Silverdale & the Lakes, lots of local hikes and great dog friendly pubs to try. The host Matthew was chatty and friendly. I'm sure it will be top of our list of places to stay next time we visit the Lakes.
Great cottage, clean and tidy, everything you would need.
Super long size bed a bonus. Dog exercising field was great for early morning and late night walks. Cottage was in a great location for exploring the lakes. Would highly recommend.
