Corner Cottage at Brackenthwaite Farm is a former barn converted in the 1980s into a 2-bedroom property and an adjacent 3-bedroom property now called The Coach House (1135531). Corner Cottage is a stylish property combined with the rustic charm of exposed beams and limestone features. The property is located in The Courtyard at Brackenthwaite Farm and benefits from an additional semi-private outdoor space to the side of the property where you can sit out, enjoy a BBQ or even the crackles of flames from a fire pit – all of which are provided for you to use at your pleasure during your stay.

You arrive at Corner Cottage and Brackenthwaite Farm entering The Courtyard. Your allocated parked is directly adjacent to your holiday property allowing for easy access to and from your vehicle. You pass through an open porchway with coat hangers and boot tidy plus Laundry Room, which is where you can find the washing machine and other cleaning equipment, should you need it. The Laundry Room is shared with The Coach House property. From The Courtyard you will also be able to sit out and watch the resident white doves go about their business and see visiting nesting swallows during April to September working hard to raise their young.

Upon entering your holiday property, you are greeting with a beautiful presentation of the property, exceptionally clean and well maintained. The property is comfortable and well equipped with everything you need, and the small details make Corner Cottage extremely welcoming. On the ground floor you have the living space, dining area and kitchen to the rear, and combined it creates a wonderfully inviting and inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy. Upstairs are a king size bedroom with large wall-mounted TV and NETFLIX included, a second twin bedroom that overlooks The Courtyard and stables, and a modern family bathroom with overhead shower.

While The Courtyard can be fully enclosed to provide safety and security for dogs and/or children, to the front of the site just beyond The Courtyard is The Orchard. This is a 2 ½ acre fully enclosed field that proves extremely popular with children and dogs. In it you will find a children’s play area climbing frame, swings, and trampoline, a square pitch for playing ball sports, dog exercise area with throwers, balls and other toys provided, a ‘chill out zone’ with tree swing and bench seating, and a grand, in-ground fire pit should you wish to spend an evening with your family or friends around a crackling fire, sharing stories or toasting marshmallows.

It is from The Orchard where you might also like to start a walk that takes you on a 1-mile route around the farm estate. On this walkabout you will pass some lovely views and sights including an enclosed wildlife area, new wooded areas, an open wildflower meadow, and meet some of the other resident animals onsite including Kunekune pigs, sheep, goats, hens, ducks, and other poultry. All of these are pets, there for enhancing the visitor experience. The latter also provide some of the most excellent free-range eggs!

The owners at Brackenthwaite Farm have carefully crafted the ten acre space to provide a variety of points of interest to visiting guests. An additional space is called The Rose Garden and from here you may like to sit and relax among the abundance of plant colour and scents. It is also here that you may make use of the hand-made cob pizza oven, which is a great novelty for small families or friends.

With everything there is to experience at Corner Cottage, you may not want to leave. However, rest assured that there is plenty to see and do within the local area. Brackenthwaite Farm is located within the heart of The Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape and so makes a perfect destination to get out and explore the breathtaking and varied natural beauty that is available here including spectacular views, an abundance of wildlife, pristine beaches, and enchanting woodlands and wildflower meadows, plus visit some wonderful local shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as other nearby places of interest.
