The Abbey Coach House Cottages are nestled in a quiet location within easy walking distance of Windermere, Bowness and Lake Windermere. Both Cottages, The Farriers (ref 26967) and The Coaches (ref 26968) are set within the private, extensive and well cared for grounds of The Abbey Coach House. Restored to a very good standard, this ideal retreat combines a rich tradition with comfortable, modern living. Surrounded by the Lakeland Hills these unique, self-catering holiday properties are just a short stroll from the nearby villages where shops, restaurants and pubs serving local ales are in abundance. Whether its a romantic break or a relaxing family holiday, the properties are ideally situated as a base for exploring the Lake District. Take a 10 minute stroll to Bowness, cruise on one of England’s largest lakes. The craggy fells and peaceful lakes inspired William Wordsworth, whose home in Grasmere is open to visitors, and also Beatrix Potter, who lived at Hill Top at Sawrey, now preserved by the National Trust. Ambleside is only a short distance away. The bus route and train station are nearby. Shops, pubs and restaurants ¼ mile.

We had a lovely half term break.

We had a lovely half term break. Perfect for couples and families of small children. A little cosy but fine for our family. You can walk to shops, restaurants, the lake plus Bowness-on-Windermere. The location made it for us. The host checked in on us at the beginning and end which was perfect. We needed £12 for the week in the electricity meter, but we used the washing machine and tumble dryer twice, and the oven almost every night. Don’t forget your towels and linen.

We enjoyed a nice break staying in this apartment, which is situated only a few minutes walk from the centre of Windermere. It was very clean and tidy, the lounge/diner/kitchen is cosy and well equipped. The owner is next door and was very friendly and helpful with tips about restaurants etc. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Very nice cottage.

Very nice cottage. Everything one needs for a short break away. Location is good for Windermere,Bowness and Lakeside - all accessible without going on the main roads! Can be a base for some excellent long and short walks.Also easy access either by bus or car to Ambleside/Grasmere/Hawkshead/Keswick. Owner Mrs B is on hand if needed too.

Wonderful Cosy cottage.

Wonderful Cosy cottage. Within easy walking distance of Windermere village and, if you don’t mind a slightly longer walk, Bowness-on-Windermere for the boats. Really friendly host. Would definitely recommend this lovely cottage
