School Cottage is a charming and comfortable two-bedroom Lakeland stone-built cottage set in an elevated position with lovely westerly views towards Coniston Old Man and the Langdale Pikes. It is one of four attractive cottages that were formed from the late Victorian school, chapel and headmaster’s house at Troutbeck Bridge. Go through your front door, take the few steps up into the hallway, hang up your outdoor clothes and go into your tastefully decorated sitting room with dining area. You are certain to like the two distinctive floor-to-ceiling, west-facing windows and the French doors, which help to make this room so bright and cheerful. Sit and relax on the comfortable suite with your favourite drink and take in the original stone ‘school room’ fireplace and the welcoming log burning stove. Go and find your modern fitted kitchen, prepare a bite to eat and enjoy it on your pretty patio garden while you plan your next day’s adventures. Walk upstairs to your pretty bedrooms with beamed ceilings and attractive rooflines. The front double room has a deeply set feature window with spectacular views and an en-suite WC and basin. The rear bedroom is a comfortable, cosy twin. The family bathroom has a bath with a separate walk-in corner shower. School Cottage is situated in a peaceful setting, just a short stroll to a well-stocked shop and a pub. Walk one mile or take a one-stop bus ride to Brockhole, the National Park’s Visitor Centre. Here, try the exciting tree top adventure and zip wire, enjoy a drink on the terrace or take a cruise across beautiful Lake Windermere or to Ambleside. Walk from your doorstep to connect with one of the many stunning walking trails available in this gorgeous part of the world. You are also perfectly placed to discover Rydal, Grasmere and beyond, traditional Lakeland villages and gorgeous scenery await you and your family at School Cottage.
