“11ironworks is a lovely place in a beautiful area, the apartment is stunning and everything is just pure quality, plenty to do locally but be prepared to travel.”

There is a nearby pub but was shut the day we went however we were told it was open the next day. All in all a great place to stay thank you Gylnn and Claire we will be back.

“A much enjoyed stay, with excellent facilities finished to a high standard in a great location.”

Home from Home comforts, slept like a log, in extremely comfortable beds. (Only suggestion King duvet on a double bed) Lovely to meet the owners, the welcome gifts was an appreciated touch. Will definitely recommend and return. Slight heating and hot water issues, but quickly resolved.

“Had a wonderful few days in this lovely accommodation.”

Only problem was finding the key box. Instructions far from accurate. They need re writing.

“Just got back today from a great weeks break away.”

We were pleasantly surprised at the Apartment. It suited us perfectly and the welcome pack was a really nice touch. We had a memorable week away in The Lakes and the weather was very kind to us. The Apartment is modern with balconies to front and rear so you can sit out and enjoy river and woodland views. The Apartment was well appointed and is very well located for access to all parts of the lakes and beyond. Please pass on our thanks to the owner/s. We would highly recommend it to anyone. Hope to come again.

“The only thing to improve would be to send us the email with the key collection picutre details earlier.”

There were emails sent prior outlining key collection, however at 7pm on the day of arrival another email was recieved with a picture of the specific lockbox we were supposed to use to get the key. We had already arrived and contacted several people to try and gain access to the flat at that point. So yeah, getting that last email earlier would have been more helpful.

About the location

BACKBARROW

Newby Bridge 1 mile; Bowness-on-Windermere 10 miles.

The small village of Backbarrow sits by the banks of the River Leven and the southern tip of Lake Windermere. The famous Haverthwaite Steam Railway runs close by the village between Haverthwaite and Lakeside. Enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or visit the Aquarium of the Lakes, where the naturally themed habitats bring the history of the Lakes vividly to life. Bowness-on-Windermere provides a lovely day out, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Set amidst the charm of the Lake District, close to the fringe of Windermere, this attractive village makes an inspiring choice from which to forage further into a magical heartland of silver lakes, lofty towering peaks and lonely gorse clad moors.
