“A lovely house in a beautiful setting with everything you need and more.”

The house was clean and beautifully equipped and furnished. The garden is lovely and all you can hear is the birds - perfect for a relaxing break. Arnside is a lovely village with pubs, coffee shops, a bakery and railway station - perfect for getting about without the car. All in all everything needed for a fantastic break - we even had beautiful weather !!

Great house to explore the lake district, not to far out from anywhere, only thing that was missing from house was a iron and ironing board, wasn't a problem, but would have liked one, would book again to see what we missed the first time,

“This is our third time staying at the coach house.”

John November 2024

“Lovely property & certainly the cleanest we've ever stayed in - looked as if the decorators had moved out the day before!”

Very quiet & peaceful with lovely, rear outlook over the garden from the master bedroom - maybe a couple of small, easy chairs to appreciate the view & birdlife, for use in winter when it's too cold to sit outside? Very handy for Arnside village, shore & station, altho a steep walk back up to the house Nice having a smart TV, even if rather small for the size of the room. Would certainly recommend this property - it was good to return to somewhere warm & welcoming after a day out exploring the many places in the area (Morecambe, Grange, Kendal, etc).

This is a lovely holiday Cottage and I have to say the most immaculately clean property we have stayed in and a credit to the owners Susan and Peter, we had a lovely time here on our first visit to Arnside, The cottage was well equipped, snug and warm , we had good correspondence with the owners who kept in touch through text messages, The value for money for a week stay was outstanding, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both the cottage and lakelovers Thanks again Terry Marie and James

“We’ve just spent a lovely week staying at The Coach House.”

Checking in and contact with the owners was very easy. The property itself was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. We like to cook for ourselves and found the kitchen to be very well equipped. It was nice to find the owners had left a welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits which was very much appreciated. The property is very well positioned to do lots of local walks and we also had a visit to Heysham. A big thank you to Mr and Mrs Barker, we loved it.

- Michael, October 2024
Kenneth September 2024

“We could not fault he Coach House in Arnside.”

The standard of accommodation and facilities were one of the best we have booked for a holiday in the UK.

“Great house and in a beautiful friendly location.”

- Rita, July 2024
Rob June 2024

“Lovely presented cottage with great facilities.”

Communication with the owner was great and the ability to charge my electric car a great bonus. Couldn’t fault it at all.

- Rob, June 2024
Susan June 2024

“Having recently returned home from an enjoyable weeks holiday at the Coach House, we found the accommodation to be clean, modern and well equipped.”

Situated a ten minute (moderately steep) walk from Arnside sea front the property is set back from the not too busy road. Parking is very good. We would definitely return.

- Susan, June 2024
Pauline May 2024

“Lovely cottage everything you could possibly need, owners very welcoming.”

Great base to explore Arnside and surrounding area. Thank you for a lovely week.

- Pauline, May 2024
Steven April 2024

“Had a great two weeks stay here.”

The good weather helped but the location meant we were easily able to get out and about (mainly on foot). There are plenty of things to do as well within a short drive (nature reserves, etc.). Although up the hill from the main centre of the village nothing was too far to walk and the local Nisa shop was well-stocked with Booths only a ten-minute drive away in Milnthorpe. Lots of walks of varying degrees (incl Arnside Knott and the tower) and a train station a ten-minute walk away if you don't want to drive. The location was also very quiet (whereas other places in Arnside we have stayed were less so) with plenty of wildlife visting the garden/patio area to the rear. If it wasn't for the fact that we're moving to Cumbria permanently in the next couple of months this would be our go-to property to stay in this area. It's certainly better value for money than equivalent properties in somewhere like Ambleside and a lot more peaceful. Couldn't really fault it in any way.

- Steven, April 2024
Michael March 2024

“The cottage was clean and in a central position.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay hosts were very helpful.

- Michael, March 2024
Alan March 2024

“Perfect Peace!”

The Coach House was exactly what we were looking for in a beautiful, peaceful part of the world. The property is so comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. It's spacious, bright, airy and very welcoming, there was even a lovely welcome pack of essentials and biscuits, we can't thank Susan enough. It's just a short 10 minute walk down to the promenade or uphill to the Knott in 20 minutes or so, as well as being a 15 minute drive to the RSPB at Leighton Moss which was beyond brilliant. Tip - Pizza and beer (especially the Lancaster Blonde) at Crossfields is exceptional

Morag December 2023

“Really lovely cottage it had everything and totally spotless.”

Only down side is the sky light windows. Everyone wants them for giving extra light but if it’s raining they can be really noisy. We were unlucky with the weather. Hence how we know they can be really noisy. Also the only other thing we found was when driving onto the main road it’s hard to see what’s coming down from your right side. This didn’t stop us from enjoying our stay there.

- Morag, December 2023
Lesley November 2023

“Spotless, good quality and comfortable in ideal location.”

Only thing i would have liked was a radio upstairs.

- Lesley, November 2023
Nicole October 2023

“The Coach House is a wonderful place to stay.”

It is very well equipped, spotlessly clean and warm. We would not hesitate to return.

- Nicole, October 2023
Janice October 2023

“Genuinely lovely property.”

It's cosy, clean and very comfortable. The amenities are excellent, equipment too. It's in a great location with delightful walks, some possible from the Coach House itself. The village of Arnside is a 5 minute stroll away. The area is unspoilt and feels remote despite its proximity to the M6. The owner is very helpful.

- Janice, October 2023
Julia September 2023

“Delightful house in lovely part of the country.”

The Coach House gave us everything we wanted, a peaceful relaxing stay in a clean and warm environment.

- Julia, September 2023
Heather July 2023

“Thank you -- we had a lovely stay!”

Arnside is a great location: nice walks direct from the cottage, great cafes and pubs by the estuary, and it was fascinating to watch the tidal bore. The cottage was perfectly comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well stocked. One tiny improvement would be to provide a hand whisk (but we just used a fork).

- Heather, July 2023
Keith July 2023

“The Coach House is a very comfortable cottage, fitted out to a very high standard.”

Plenty of room for parking and the EV charge point was very convenient. The location is great as a base for walks and cycle rides and to explore the wider Arnside AONB. The promenade at Arnside is a 10 min stroll away. We definitely recommend the Coach House.

- Keith, July 2023
Paul June 2023

“Very well finished throughout I would recommend it to everyone home from home many thanks Paul”

- Paul, June 2023
Chris June 2023

“Hats off to the cleaners / owners!”

The house was so clean it all seemed like new. It is very well equipped with nice touches such as books on the local walks of which there are many. The bed was very comfy and the house is quiet being set back from the road and well built. Even in a hot week in June Arnside was lovely and quiet. The only queue was Saturday night at the popular Fish & Ships shop just at the end of the Promenade which is recommended! In terms of trips out Leven's Hall is reasonably close by with the house proving to be very interesting as well as the well known gardens. Levens Kitchens which serves food all day is run by some talented chefs. They have very interesting and unusual cakes and can be visited without having to pay to visit the house & garden if you are just passing by.

- Chris, June 2023
Elaine March 2023

“Our holiday at the Coach House was outstanding.”

It is a really beautiful home. Everything was perfect and the standard of cleanliness very high. We would have no hesitation in booking again.....hopefully later in the year.

- Elaine, March 2023
Brenda March 2023

“The Coach House was a perfect house for four of us.”

We arrived to a sparkling clean house and it was warm and cosy throughout a week that saw freezing temperatures outside. The kitchen was very well equipped for preparing cooked meals. The warm hallway was also ideal for drying our wet coats and boots. We rarely used our car as we did local walks from the house or walked to the train station (less than 15 minutes) to do the 5 minute train ride to Silverdale station to walk from there. There were useful walking books provided at the Coach House. Communication with the owners was perfect. In summary, we had a wonderful, relaxing stay.

- Brenda, March 2023
William February 2023

“Excellent. Well equipped kitchen especially the top quality appliances.”

Spacious. Nice outdoor areas...although it was far too cold in February to take advantage of them. Ample parking. Chickens and golden retrievers next door and friendly neighbours. Owners were friendly and helpful. Very happy.

- William, February 2023
Barbara February 2023

“Lovely house in the right place.”

Well equipped and comfortable. Ample off road parking is a bonus. Would love to return in warmer weather and make use of the nice rear garden

- Barbara, February 2023
Paul February 2023

“Great Location and Beautiful Property.”

The property is superbly placed for walks around Arnside and Silverdale. Arnside Knott is a few minutes away where fantastic views can be had. The property was immaculately clean, very well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were exceptionally comfortable. The cottage was very quiet and warm and we looked forward to returning after a busy day of exploring. We would definitely recommend. Paul & Michael (Nottingham)

Carole Andrea January 2023

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

Excellent location, we like to visit Leighton Moss. The accommodation was in pristine condition.We have had many cottage holidays and it was refreshing to be able to use kitchen utensils and pans that were spotless.Thank you. The lounge was a bit chilly in the evenings. The gas fire was very welcome. There was a power cut for approx 12 hrs.(bad storm)Thank you for the good supply of torches. The neighbour,Judith was very helpful and attentive. We both loved this place and will definitely be back. We were sad to leave.

- Carole Andrea, January 2023
Maria December 2022

“Good location, beautiful cottage, absolutely spotlessly clean, and all kitchen appliances and utensils are of top quality.”

The only very small suggestion would be to provide champagne flutes for celebrating special occasions with bubbly (we were there over the new year period). Overall a fantastic cottage which I would definitely highly recommend :)

- Maria, December 2022
Philip December 2022

“The cottage was set well back from the road with plenty of parking space.”

It was equipped and furnished to a high standard throughout and cleanliness was second to none. It was warm and comfortable and provided the perfect base for exploring the area. We have no hesitation in recommending it.

- Philip, December 2022
Julia October 2022

It was an extremely comfortable base that was well equipped. A bonus was the limited, yet adequate, information provided.

“We loved staying at the Coach House.”

It was just as advertised except the pictures don't do justice to the cleanliness and comfort of the interior. We'll certainly look to visit again.

- John, August 2022
Anthony July 2022

“We have just returned from a lovely week's stay in this house and it has to be the best holiday house we have stayed in.”

The house is immaculately clean, lovely furnished and well equipped. The house consists of a lovely living room, excellent kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms one with two single beds and a gorgeous master bedroom that has patio doors leading to a lovely patio area. The location is at the top of the hill but with a local Nisa shop five minutes walk and ten to fifteen minutes your at The Albion pub and the sea front. The walk back of course is all uphill. Would I stay there again absolutely nothing to fault and a lovely place.

- Anthony, July 2022

Christine March 2022

“We enjoyed every minute staying here.”

The house is well equipped and clean. The location is lovely and sitting outside with the birds and wildlife in the garden was so relaxing. I would recommend this property and hope to return in the future.

“One of the best cottages we have stayed in.”

- Anne, March 2022
William February 2022

“What a find this cottage was, I'd give it 10 stars if I could.”

The cottage is spotlessly clean in a great location, it's only a 5 - 10 minute walk to the centre of Arnside. It is equipped to a very high standard with top of the range appliances throughout; the bedrooms are immaculate, one with a king size bed and the other two single beds. The bathroom is equipped with a bath and shower, the bath is most welcome after a day out walking. The living room is warm and comfortable with two leather sofas, a flat screen TV and gas fire. There is ample off-road car parking space at the front and the cottage is a credit to the owners; we stayed a week which passed all too quickly but we would definitely stay here again, we can't recommend this property highly enough.

- William, February 2022
Jacquelyn January 2022

“We found the Coach House very welcoming and spotlessly clean, with thoughtful welcome gifts to greet us.”

As well-seasoned cottage-travellers, in the UK and abroad, we are happy to report that this is one of the very best properties in which we have ever stayed. Also, as it was a working holiday, it was excellent to have strong Broadband and a table on which to work. A great location for exploring local walks over Arnside Knott and along the coast to Silverdale, as well as being handy for the Lakeland fells, and shopping in Kendal. Arnside is such a picturesque and evocative coastal village. All in all, an exceptional cottage, and we hope to return before too long.

- Jacquelyn, January 2022
Joanne December 2021

“Beautiful place to stay, the cottage was exceptionally clean and well equipped, bright and roomy.”

Arnside was an ideal location, great local services including two pubs within walking distance, an excellent fish and chip shop and good walks from the cottage itself. A lovely week!

- Joanne, December 2021
Lesley October 2021

“We chose to stay at The Coach House, Arnside, based on previous comments on the standard of the accommodation.”

We were not disappointed. The standard is exceptional throughout. Great credit is due for how clean and well maintained this property is. It’s in a nice peaceful location and Arnside and the coastal walks are well worth spending time. In the village The Albion was good, The Wayside Cafe is a must visit as is the Fish and Chip shop. Bakehouse sausage rolls are great too! If you travel further afield for food The Hare & Hounds, Levens is well worth a visit.

- Lesley, October 2021
Karen October 2021

“Comfortable, warm, well equipped, and very clean house.”

Loved the patio garden (just missed a comfy chair to sit indoors by the window and watch the birds on the feeders.) Thoughtful welcome pack, we needed that cup of tea after a fraught trip on M6! Lovely mix of long hikes or short walks from doorstep, Arnside is a favourite and very special place.

- Karen, October 2021
Richard September 2021

“The cottage and its location were just what we were looking for.”

The layout, cleanliness and fabric were excellent. The cottage had an electric car charging point and dishwasher which were not mentioned on the brief but are big plus points. Great for local area walks. Good access to station for coastal excursions, Lancaster and RSPB Reserve visits. Good access to southern Lakes.

- Richard, September 2021
Malcolm September 2021

“Had a great time staying in the Coach House.”

The property is in a good location for exploring the area. The tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were much appreciated. The property was very clean and well equipped and we were fortunate to have plenty of good weather.

- Malcolm, September 2021
David July 2021

“There was a lovely welcome pack with some lovely surprises.”

In this day of coronavirus it was pleasing to say the Coach House was immaculately clean. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen with good quality equipment (cooker, fridge/freezer) utensils and crockery. The patio off the main bedroom was a lovely, secluded spot to enjoy a nice cup of tea in the morning or to chill out with a drink later on in the evening.

- David, July 2021
Diane June 2021

“The house exceeded our expectations in every way.”

The owners attention to details were brilliant which made our holiday perfect. Would definitely stay there again. Paul and Diane

- Diane, June 2021
Nick June 2021

“Superb cottage in a great location.”

So well equipped and finished to a high standard (that cutlery drawer was something else!). We had a great week there - walking from the cottage itself in and around Arnside, and exploring a little further afield in the car as we were just on the edge of the Lakes. Highly recommended.

- Nick, June 2021

About the location

ARNSIDE

Kendal 10 miles; Windermere 17 miles.

Arnside is situated on the southernmost tip of the Lake District in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where low limestone hills, marshy plains and deciduous woodlands characterise the surrounding land. This former fishing port has retained many of the features from its past. The beautiful pier and port areas of the village offer stunning views across the Kent Estuary, as well as providing an enduring reminder of Arnside's illustrious history. To the south of the village are the 15th century Pele Towers, which were constructed to defend against the marauding Scots. The local surrounding area is a nature lover's paradise with stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks through countryside alive with rare plants, trees and wildlife. The internationally renowned Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is also just one mile away. Guided walks across the Kent Estuary are available, showing the full splendour of the shore and surrounding area. Within easy touring distance are the Lake District and Lune Valley, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland.
