“We spent a week at 21 Ironworks and it was perfect for us (two families including two babies and a toddler).”

Location There are some great local gems. We went on a steam train at Haverthwaite station (just a ten minute walk away), and continued our journey to Bowness via cruise. Fell Foot and Gummers How were easily accessible for a lovely day out. We also enjoyed a local walk up Bigland Barrow following the directions on the guide provided.

Location There are some great local gems. We went on a steam train at Haverthwaite station (just a ten minute walk away), and continued our journey to Bowness via cruise. Fell Foot and Gummers How were easily accessible for a lovely day out. We also enjoyed a local walk up Bigland Barrow following the directions on the guide provided. Backbarrow is also a great base to explore the southern Lake District with easy access to Windermere and Coniston. Ulverston is only a ten minute drive away and you can get a great view of the coast from the Sir John Barrow monument. Accommodation The apartment itself was spacious, beautifully furnished and very clean. The kitchen was very well equipped with high quality appliances and had everything we needed. We also loved the huge TV in the attic - perfect for winding down in the evening after a busy day! All in all a fantastic stay - would certainly recommend!

“This was a fantastic place to stay in.”

It catered for all our needs from having a well stocked kitchen to having space for all our family to relax in. It is a house that gives a wow factor. The location was great for us to explore the south lakes area as well as a number of places close to hand. Will definitely being using this place again.

“Couldn’t contact yourselves or property owner via number provided as no answer or answer phone.”

Poor mobile signal at accommodation. Two of the toilet seats were loose and needed tools to tighten. Both showers drains couldn’t cope with water flow from shower head while taking a shower. So, you had to turn off and on so as not to overflow shower tray which spoilt the experience of the lovely rain shower head. Odd arrangement of rooms with bathroom off top floor sitting room which only had roof windows! Surely it would be better to have that as master bedroom and the bedroom with river views as the tv room.
