The former school at Troutbeck Bridge was converted some twenty years ago and the Victorian school building, including the chapel and head masters house, have been successfully transformed into four pleasurable pet friendly cottages, full of character and charm. A popular local pub, The Sun Inn, is merely around the corner serving great bar meals, although there is a great Spar store across the road for those who wish to self cater at some point during your stay.

Roomy and snug, and now redecorated throughout in 2009, 1 School Pet friendly cottages, the former head master's house, has been thoughtfully prepared for holiday letting, as well as a classic style furnishings and decor completing the pet friendly cottage look. No. 1 has a lovely end position and gardens to the front and side from where to take in super look at towards Coniston Old Man and the Langdales along with a pleasurable veranda, as well as a seating provided, which is sure to be utilised in all Lakeland weathers.
