Is No 1 The Coach House Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families

The peaceful estate setting provides outdoor space for children to explore safely within the grounds. Kirkby Lonsdale sits 3 miles away with playgrounds and the riverside for family walks. The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail offers an exciting adventure 6 miles from the barn. However, the rural location means entertainment options require short drives to nearby towns and attractions.

Groups Will Love...

The exposed timber beams throughout No 1 The Coach House showcase authentic agricultural heritage from its working past. Original structural timbers remain visible overhead in the living spaces, creating warmth and character that modern builds cannot replicate. These beams combine with thick stone walls to provide genuine barn atmosphere. The high ceilings emphasise the building's original proportions and flood rooms with natural light.

Pet Friendly

No 1 The Coach House does not accept pets during your stay. Whilst the countryside setting and estate grounds would suit dogs perfectly, the property policy means you'll need to arrange care elsewhere for your pet. The surrounding fields and footpaths offer excellent walking territory, but the barn itself remains a pet-free environment to accommodate guests with allergies.
