Old Post Office Cottage

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting peaceful lovely walks nearby

Amazing cottage in a quaint village with some lovely walking places & the use of hotel SPA, also taking steam train & boat to Bowness is a great day out.

The old post office is a superbly clean, comfortable and well maintained property.

Situated next to the river Leven, it is lovely to sit outside and relax. A good cafe and spa are on the doorstep, and many attractions very close by. A really lovely place to stay.

I booked the cottage for my wife's birthday.

I was not let down, the cottage is great, the setting is idilic, and it is positioned in a perfect place to visit the many local attractions. We didn't use the nearby hotel facilities which are included in the price as we had the dog with us but we had a drink at the hotels Dolly Blue Bar on the day we arrived, again the beer garden was in a picturesque setting and is 2 minutes walk from the cottage. I would definitely recommend the cottage and would stop there again.

This is a lovely property, clean, comfy beds and sofa, lovely bathroom.

Great setting next to the river and nice location. Some really nice touches like plenty of towels, dishwasher tabs and laundry tabs. However there were a few areas of improvement….there was no hairdryer or iron, very limited cutlery (4 teaspoons), no oven gloves and only one chopping board, but a nice array of utensils.

Excellent accomodation, ample parking and well located to explore the lakes and with a lovely outlook direct onto the river Leven.

Idealy placed,easy to find,excellently comfort acommodation regardless of the weather.

would book again.

What a lovely cottage we love the Lake District and really enjoyed our holiday.

The location is amazing being beside the river watching the Dippers and Grey Wagtails feeding their young. We would definitely like to return sometime in the future. Thanks for everything Jason it was nice chatting with you.

Fantastic long weekend at this amazing property, would highly recommend.

Owners are very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Location is excellent and having use of the spa nearby is great.

The property is located on the banks of a fast moving river with beautiful views.

Use of the spa facilities which is located directly across from the cottage. Local hotel with bar and restaurant facilities. Great location for fell walking and white water rafting. Historical interest with local steam train and old iron works. Car museum with cafe. Accommodation is modern with up to date facilities. We had an excellent stay and well recommended.

Lovely cottage all we needed for a lovely break!

Beautiful location and very clean and well accommodating and with the included use of the local hotels facilities its perfect for a small family or friends retreat, so many surrounding activities, the steam train and boat ride from Haverthwaite was a fantastic experience, such amazing views, local walks and fantastic food.

will return for future stays.

A lovely, comfortable cottage right next to the river, what more could a person want.

We had a very relaxing stay watching the wildlife from the patio.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage sitting on the bank of the river Leven. Really nice to sit out in the evening with the sounds of the river and watching the river wildlife. Ideal location for exploring the Lake District. Great added bonus of being able to use the local spa pool and facilities! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back.

Excellent stay again at this property would not hesitate to recommend this lovely cottage for your holiday.

Host is absolutely great accommodation has everything you need. Certainly one of the best we have stayed in and a real home from home. Location fantastic.

Had a lovely 4 week stay here.

Host was excellent. Beautiful cottage with outstanding views. Have stayed in cottages over the other side of Backbarrow and they just don’t compare. Will be staying again soon

It was lovely stay for a week in this beautiful property.

House is located in great location, next to a river, in the little village and surrounded with lot of local walks, motor museum, hotel and provided access to SPA facilities. Everyone can find what to do during their visit. Recommendation - to bring a torch as winter getting dark soon and there is no street lighting if you want to walk to a local pub evening time. Washing machine was very handy and would be good to list in the house description. Beds were very comfortable to sleep and towels very soft. Kitchen would need few more equipment's for cooking, but it was clean and warm property.

Excellent location for exploring the lakes , and great to have off road parking.

The cottage has everything that we needed for our stay. We lived the quality of the bath sheets , so nice to have large soft towels for our stay We didn't take advantage of the access to cascades health spa, i forgot to pack my swimming costume.

We had a lovely stay at the Old Post Office Cottage.

Everything was spotless, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, we very quickly felt at home. Jason was so welcoming and gave us great recommendations for local Christmas markets, walks, and the spa facilities. We’ll definitely be returning!

Accommodation was good for x 4 people.

Great location for the south of The Lakes and the added bonus of the spa facilities were appreciated after a long day walking! The Kitchen could do with some additional equipment e.g. bowls or jugs that can be microwaved; a smaller frying pan; cafetière; and some mugs rather than cups. The house was very clean and presentable.

Beautifully designed cottage located next to the river Leven.

Perfect location for dog walks and a drink in the pub! We’ll be back!

Stunning location, perfect cottage that has all your self catering needs.

Jason(owner), top bloke and full of advice and knowledge of the area. If you need a base for touring the south lakes, this is the place for you. Open the back door & listen to the river Leven flowing past.

We had a lovely stay at The Old Post Office Cottage.

The location right by the river Leven is stunning. We would have loved to have taken advantage of the garden but the weather was so poor all week we were restricted to the indoors. The cottage has been beautifully modernised by the owner who lives next door with his family. I should point out that part of the owners accommodation exists separately above the rental property and it was a little disconcerting the first night to hear some bumps and bangs which we weren’t expecting and not informed about but it wouldn’t put us off returning again. If I could make one addition to the property it would be for a toilet downstairs. There are two double bedrooms, one downstairs and one upstairs and the only facility is a bathroom and shower upstairs! All in all, a lovely cottage in a top location.

Beautiful cottage, very comfortable with all the amenities.

Location- it’s quite secluded- there is very little in walking distance so you need to drive places, but lots of good places within 20 minute drive.

And having the hotel/ spa so close is great- nice to be able to have an evening drink/use gym and swimming pool. Lovely being next to river. Cottage- it’s nice enough, but feel like it could use some finishing touches- in the bathroom there’s no mirror above the sink which makes shaving awkward, no mirror in upstairs bedroom, upstairs bedroom could use a rug and additional clothes storage like a chest of drawers, kitchen could do with some more mugs and cutlery, the gate could be adjusted so the backyard area is enclosed for dogs (currently a gap at bottom). The way the property has been split is slightly odd- you can hear people walking around above you in the lounge, like you’re in a flat. But like I say overall it’s nice enough and delivers the essentials- nice kitchen, good shower, comfy bedding and towels, good welcome pack etc.

Excellent well appointed cottage.

Free access to leisure facilities a bonus

The property was fantastic in a beautiful location, has majority of the facilities the minor detail was no microwave but not a big issue.

The property was clean and beautiful well maintained. Their was no issues at all had access to the gym equipment, swimming pool for free, however never got the time to use it as was sightseeing alot. Would definitely recommend staying hear and hopefully will be back soon.
