There’s something really special about Coniston. It’s got everything you could want from a stay in the Lake District. It has all of its own unique charm and beauty and is also the perfect base for getting out there and exploring the surrounding fells, mountains, waters and forest. It is safe to say, Coachman's House fits right in. Once a 19th-century coach house, this beautifully renovated spot is now a cosy base for up to four guests, tucked right into the heart of the village.

Inside, it strikes the perfect balance between being stylish and welcoming. It feels homely in the best way. Quality furnishings, thoughtful touches, and each room that feels straight from a Pinterest board on country cottages. If log fires, mood lighting, country kitchens and luxury bedrooms are up your street, this is the stay for you.

As mentioned before, the location really sells it. You’re within walking distance of Coniston Water, at the foot of The Old Man of Coniston, and just a short drive from Hawkshead, Grasmere, and Ambleside. You can walk straight from the door into the fells or pop down the road for a pint at one of the local pubs, or why not both! 

Coachmans House Outdoor Dining

It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a weekend getaway as it does for a longer break. Ideal for couples, friends, or even a small family with older kids. There is parking on the driveway for one large vehicle or two small cars. Another great selling point is the woodland garden, a lovely spot for morning coffees or an evening BBQ. 

If you’re after somewhere quiet, charming, and properly well-located in the Lakes, Coachmans House should definitely be on your list.
