“A really nice, well presented holiday cottage.”

The cleaning company had done an exceptional job. We hope to stay at this cottage again in the near future. It’s ideally suited for visiting the southern end of the lakes..

“Because of storm Arwen the property had no electricity from Saturday 28th at 11:30pm.”

We stayed until Sunday 29th and left at 5:00 pm because it was not cold and as the property is all electric no facilities with no feedback when power would be restored.We wish to thank Mark the owner for his help

Liat October 2021

“Such a lovely cottage and beautiful surroundings in the heart of the Lake District.”

The perfect setting for a week away. We will definitely be back. Only comment would be to change the bed as it was a little uncomfortable (small and very hard mattress) and the room could fit a larger bed easily. Other than this no complaints !

“Absolutely beautiful and amazingly clean accommodation in a stunning setting.”

The stable conversion had been done to an extremely high standard. The bedding and towels were of an exceptional standard. We absolutely loved our stay, we felt covid safe, extremely warm, cozy and it was very peaceful and quiet. The accommodation is upside down living where the bedroom is downstairs and living accommodation upstairs. When we walked in we immediately noticed how clean it was…. BUT unfortunately the only negative was that we found it difficult to get a decent nights sleep for the first few nights as the pillows were far too hard, the bed was too small in addition, the 2 seater sofa just wasn’t big enough which therefore made it uncomfortable for two people to sit on for any length of time. This was such a shame as it truly is a lovely place to stay. We would obviously recommend but suggest you take your own pillows. I am so sorry to leave feedback which is not 100% as with a couple of tweaks the Mews could be 110%!

Nicola August 2021

“Amazing cottage and facilities.”

Extremely clean. Location was superb and with plenty of wonderful walks. Lake windermere 10 minutes away, just perfect. Negative and big for us the bed very uncomfortable and matrass and pillows were too hard and the bed to small. The room certainly big enough for a king sized bed. I was really hot too and a fan would have been nice. The sofa upstairs again too small, again enough space for a higher sofa. Certainly don't want to moan but with this change it would be 10/10 for us. Certainly would go back.

“An excellent, high quality conversion of an old farm building.”

Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Off-road parking is good. Great base for exploring the Lakes. Really would benefit from a larger bed and a larger, more comfortable sofa.

The property

This eclectic and romantic Lakeland barn is set in a pretty courtyard of cottages within over two acres of grounds, including a natural woodland and ponds in this picturesque and sleepy setting between Coniston Water and Lake Windermere, circumscribed by glorious open countryside. The upside down accommodation may be quirky, adorned in character yet is newly renovated and this old barn is simply contemporary throughout. There are many public footpaths from the door including to the White Hart pub in Bouth and the the Motor Museum/Cafe Ambio at Backbarrow Steeped in history this once cobbled courtyard row of cottages has links to a nearby monastery. The secluded setting and tranquility is immediately apparent on arrival. Scenic walks are in abundance straight from your doorstep and for the adventurous is nearby Grizedale Forest, set in the heart of the lakes and a must for all mountain bikers! Wildlife frequent the grounds of Abbots Reading and the beautiful deer are almost becoming tame. A host of great pubs and eateries are close by serving great food and real ales to temp you out. If you are travelling to the Lake District with friends or extended family, but you would still like your own space, how about booking 2, 3 or all 4 of the Abbots Reading cottages. Abbots Reading Cottage, Abbots Reading Mews 1 and Abbots Reading Suite are also available. Even better you can receive the following multiple booking discounts: 5% discount for booking 2 properties 7.5% discount for booking 3 properties 10% discount for booking all 4 properties To receive the discount, simply call us on 015394 88855 and book over the telephone. == Accommodation in detail Park your vehicle and wander through the garden yet there are two entrances to this beautiful converted barn; via the courtyard or via the patio and original mounting steps. Entrance at the top floor and into the open plan living space; what a relaxing space with vaulted ceiling and original oak beams, unwind on the leather sofa and gaze over the courtyard to the countryside beyond. The kitchen is open plan to the living / dining area and has all you may need. Downstairs to the romantic double bedroom with glazed door to the courtyard and en-suite power shower over bath. The owner has recently built a 'Woodland Walk Dog Pen' for your furry friends to use whilst at the property and is fully enclosed and 100sqm. There is also use of an outdoor 'dog paw shower ' to clean off muddy paws after days on the fells. Location In over an acre of grounds surrounded by blissful scenery you could easily describe the setting here as secluded, yet only a few miles and you are at the very southern tip of Lake Windermere, close to the small hamlet of Lakeside and another wonderfully peaceful setting with both the Lakeside and Swan Hotels serving tempting distractions together with superb leisure club facilities. Lush green countryside, scattered with pretty tarns and embracing all the elegance of the lake and river shores. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly from Lakeside Pier, ferrying passengers the full length of the lake with stops at Bowness and Ambleside - two popular Lake District holiday destinations that you'll love to explore during your stay. Each has a wide range of shops and attractions, so why not do your shopping trip by boat? Lakeside is home to two fantastic Lake District attractions; the freshwater Lakes Aquarium and one end of the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway - take a short trip on a traditional steam train. Historic sites such as Scott Park Bobbin Mill, Sizergh Castle, Levens Hall and Holker Hall & Gardens are all within easy reach by car, with no need to navigate through busy tourist areas. To your north west, you'll approach the landscapes that famously inspired the children's author Beatrix Potter via peaceful country lanes. Her former home can be visited at Hill Top, in the small village of Near Sawrey. Only a mile or so further, and you'll reach the enchanting village of Hawkshead - a wonderful place to while away a day, exploring quaint cobbled streets and a blissfully car-free village centre.

About the location

LAKESIDE

Newby Bridge 1.2 miles; Bowness-on-Windermere 8.7 miles.

Set on the southern shores of Lake Windermere, the small, sleepy hamlet of Lakeside offers a peaceful getaway location, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the Lake District’s popular attractions, but still within easy reach of them. Whether you decide to discover the area in the car, by foot, bike, boat or steam, there’s plenty to see nearby to keep the whole family content. The ferry dock offers the chance to travel by boat to Waterhead or Bowness, or take a shorter trip to the National Trust’s Fell Foot Park, across the water, which offers pretty grounds set alongside the very tip of the lake, providing plenty of places for picnics, paddling, games and gentle strolls on sunny afternoons. Situated alongside the Lakeside Station is the long-standing Lakeside and Haverwaithe Railway, home to Britain’s oldest standard gauge steam engine, on which you can travel back in time along this well-loved Heritage line, and where little ones will delight in meeting Thomas and his friends. Visit the Lakes Aquarium to uncover the often-secretive world of life below water, where you’ll chance upon hundreds of captivating creatures that feature in the surrounding rivers, lakes and sea. There are wonderful, well-signed walks to be enjoyed in the immediate area, including the 5-mile route to Finsthwaite’s High Dam, which trails from Lakeside through pleasant woodlands and meadows. Lakeside offers an exclusive holiday location with all of the Lake District’s delights at your fingertips.
