Really enjoyed our stay, the host was lovely and friendly. The animals definitely added some fun to the trip, though the weather was a bit of a downer. Still, good times!

We really enjoyed our stay at Coachmans Cottage. It’s got a charming, quirky vibe that’s just right. Perfect spot for exploring local attractions. The hot tub was a lovely touch, especially for stargazing! Graham and Mark knew loads about the area and were super friendly too.
Emma
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!

Graham really pulled through for us last minute, saving our honeymoon! We arrived to a super warm welcome, complete with a lovely bottle and Mr & Mrs glasses. The cottage had everything we could possibly needand the hot tub was perfect with stunning views of the fells and wildlife. We'd definitely stay again and recommend it to others.

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!

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 17 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 18 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 24 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 25 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
