Coachman's Quarters at Brantwood, stunning views & lake access

The Coachman’s Quarters at Brantwood is a stunning studio apartment in an elevated position within the grounds of Brantwood. Brantwood is a historic house which was once the home of John Ruskin, a famous Victorian writer, artist and social reformer which is now open as a museum showcasing Ruskin’s life and work.

Compact but perfectly formed, this cosy yet stylish apartment has awe-inspiring views of Coniston Water and the Coniston fells beyond that have to be seen to be believed.

The apartment fuses modern with traditional, combining a tasteful, modern kitchen with traditional Victorian features. And while everything inside the Coachman’s Quarters is pleasing to the eye, glancing out the window is guaranteed to take your breath away.

Step outside and within Brantwood’s sprawling grounds you’ll find a cafe, extensive gardens, woodland trails and lake access to the shores of Coniston Water.

From the shore you can hop on a cruise around the lake or visit Coniston village. Adventure seekers can launch paddle-boards or canoes or take a dip in the calm waters for a wild-swim.

And after Brantwood House closes to the public at 4pm, guests have the spectacular gardens and grounds to themselves - a truly special privilege and one which will ensure your stay at The Coachman’s Quarters provides memories to treasure forever.
