“Not really.”

We stayed in the upstairs apartment of this property last September and this downstairs apartment was just as nice. We will be re-booking again for next year.

“Lovely little cottage, very cosy.”

It would be nice to be told on booking if the apartment booked is either on the top or bottom floor. We had the bottom floor but we could hear the other guests movements above! Apart from that no other complaints.

“Great location for exploring quieter side of the Lakes.”

High standard of fixtures and fittings in apartment would definitely recommend.

“The property is fitted out to a very high standard and has a lovely luxurious feel.”

It is cosy inside with lovely views of the river form the front large window and the front patio gets the sun all morning. In the afternoon there is a bench on the grass right by the water to catch the afternoon warmth. The Swan Hotel and Spa across the bridge is very handy for a relaxing drink and delicious food when you can't be bothered to cook! Very handy for exploring the beautiful southern lake district. The only slight drawback is the traffic noise from the busy main road behind but once absorbed reading a book or watching the geese on the river it fades away.

“The location was fantastic.”

Right on the banks of the river Leven in great countryside. The cottage was ideal for the four of us and the two dogs. Swan Hotel across the bridge was great as was the Newby Bridge Inn. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing time was had by all

About the location

NEWBY BRIDGE

Bowness-on-Windermere 8 miles.

The small village of Newby Bridge takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. The famous Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam railways, runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge. Visit the Lakeside Hotels and enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or enjoy 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, plus 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, and admire the views at nearby Gummer's How.

2 dogs welcome
