The Coach House Corney

The Coach House is on our farm in Corney, near Bootle. It's detached. You'll see the farmhouse next door where we live. Originally it was for the horse-drawn coach, and there used to be a piggery on the side. It's a 3 Star place, which means it's comfortable and clean but not fancy.

It sleeps five. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. One bathroom is upstairs, the other is a shower room on the ground floor. The stairs are a typical cottage staircase, so they turn a corner and are a bit steep.

You're on a working farm, so you'll hear and see the animals. There's a private garden with a patio and a BBQ. We've put in an electric vehicle charger. There's parking right outside.

The beach is about a mile away. It's a proper stretch of sand, good for a walk. The village shop is a few minutes' walk. The nearest pub for food is in Bootle, about five miles. The local train station is in Bootle too, a 15-minute walk. You can get the train south to Lancaster or north to Carlisle.

For getting about, Ravenglass is eight miles away. That's where you get the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, the small steam train. It's a good day out. Coniston Water and the western fells are about a 30-minute drive, so you can get into the Lake District without the busiest crowds. There are a couple of golf courses nearby, Seascale and Silecroft.

We allow up to two well-behaved dogs. The facilities are all there: WiFi, TV, washing machine, dishwasher. Bedding and towels are included. We can provide a cot and highchair.
