As featured in BBC Good Homes magazine

Contemporary B&B in the heart of the English Lake District

The house is, as the name suggests, an old coach house built in 1890 from Lakeland stone. You will see from its unusual shape that the whole of the ground floor was designed to house a coach and horses. The back half was a stable, and upstairs was for storage. The house also has several unusual decorative features, including a weather vane, a round window and a clock housed in the roof. We have five letting rooms all en suite which are beautifully decorated, with brightly coloured walls, bedspreads and blinds, some with antique furniture. Most have cream cast-iron beds. The en-suite shower-rooms echo this mix of the modern and traditional, with high quality showers, black and white floor tiles, chrome fittings and period enamelware. One of the rooms also has a daybed which doubles as a sofa and single bed - this has a sprung mattress and is much more comfortable than a sofabed or futon! One room has a balcony. All the rooms have TVs, tea and coffee making facilities, alarm clocks, hair dryers and radios. The rooms have cotton wool buds/balls and toiletries. During the spring of 1999 a small, comfortable guest sitting area and a light, airy breakfast room/conservatory was added downstairs, in which you can relax throughout the day and evening. The interiors, were featured in an issue of BBC Good Homes magazine, the UK’s biggest selling interior design magazine. We have also appeared in the Independent on Sunday and in Country Living magazine.
