Please note: There is a pond the garden, 100 yards away.. The Coach House is situated in the village of Bootle on a working farm, in western Cumbria, just 1 mile from the beach. It was originally used to garage the horse drawn coach, and the owner lives next door, and even had a piggery on the side! It’s now been converted into the lovely, detached cottage it is today and in front of The Coach House is a rectory. Built in 1839 on the site of a previous Tudor building which, being constructed of wood, burnt down leaving only the cellars intact, which are still in use today. Coniston Water, the quieter western fells of the Lake District, can be accessed for fabulous walking opportunities for all abilities. Golf is available locally at Seascale and Silecroft, and the nearest train station is at Bootle itself, only a 15-minute walk away with links to both Carlisle in the north and Lancaster in the south, so leave the car at home and head out for the day. Ravenglass, home of the narrow gauge railway fondly known as ’La’al Ratty’ is just 8 miles away and provides fun for all ages along the 7-mile stretch of railway line passing through stunning scenery. There are two riding stables within 10 miles. Beach 1 mile. Shop 200 yards, pub serving food 5 miles.

We enjoyed our time as a family and chocolate lab here and were made to feel welcomed by owners and cleaner. You do need to drive for all activities and pulling out on to the main through road felt precarious. The walk to beach was greater than a mile. Back garden is not enclosed & merged with owners own garden but the wider parameter appears secure with gated access. The is still plenty of room for pets to wander (front and back) and an impressive amount of plants & flowers established. A Tesco is 15mins away, with only limited options at the local store. Due to the recent heatwave fans would have been welcomed and fly spray was available, but would advise you take a fly zapper.
