  • "This is the third year in a row that we have stayed at School Cottage."

    It is always clean, comfortable and very well maintained. It has everything you need and more. It is perfect for visiting the Lake District. The views from the main bedroom are absolutely gorgeous.

  • "Absolutely lovely cottage, clean and comfortable -has every you need."

    Beds were particularly comfortable. Ideal location to visit so many different places. View from main bedroom is so lovely. Fantastic to have the use of a dish washer too. Only problem we had was wasps which were getting in the roof space below 2nd bedroom - 7 of them got in one night but Sykes resolved with pest control - so all was good. Definitely home form home and would recommend to anyone.

  • "My wife and I were delighted with the Cottage."

    Comfortable, clean with modern facilities. Comfortable furniture and modern kitchen and equipment. The beds were comfortable. We greatly appreciated being able to stay in a lovely cottage, in a beautiful area of the Laker district. It was well presented as we arrived, obviously cleaner had been very thorough. Living in this cottage helped to make our stay in the Lake District truly memorable.

  • "A lovely cottage in an ideal location for exploring the surrounding areas."

    We used the local bus service to get around and parked up our car outside the cottage for the week. The cottage has a small and very well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge area. Warm and relaxing in evenings with everything we needed.

The property

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 open fire.

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.
