Overview

This gorgeous 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 sociable and quirky, adorned in character yet is newly renovated and this old barn is simply contemporary throughout.

Steeped in history this once cobbled courtyard row of cottages has links to a nearby monastery. The secluded setting and tranquillity 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 2 and Abbots Reading Suite are also available. Even better you can receive the following multiple booking discounts:

10% discount for booking all 4 properties

Accommodation in detail

Park 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 living space; what a relaxing space with vaulted ceiling and original oak beams, unwind on the leather sofas and gaze over the courtyard to the countryside beyond. Separate kitchen / dining area also enjoying the beautiful outlook and the kitchen has all you may need. Downstairs to the two chic bedrooms and glazed entrance porch leading to the courtyard. One double with en-suite power shower room and one bedroom with a 5'2" wide bed which can be separated into two (2'6") single beds (ideal for children) should you require - so please say when booking - thank you. This room also boasts an en-suite power shower room.

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.

    Loved the quietness of the cottage, yet it provided an easy access to A590. The small woods (not enclosed) was handy to take our dogs out. Good parking space allowing a car with a trailer and another car parked without disturbing parking slots for others.

    Stunning cottage, nicely refurbished, clean + concise. High specification & ideal holiday let. The Lakes are everything we expected, just wish we were more adventurous. Recommend Hawkshead + Cartmel as a place to visit. Pub we liked the most was the Farmers Arms, not long enough.
