“Really nice, warm and comfortable property, with everything you need in the kitchen.”

A great base to explore the lakes with several walks straight from the doorstep. Recommend a trip across the bridge to the Swan, some lovely food.

“I couldnt fault the apartment at all, it was beautiful, very modern and spotless.”

The shower is amazing. It has everything you would need, including, lovely thick fluffy towels, nespresso,washing machine&dryer(even some washing pods), ironing board &iron,dishwasher(although i never use them) hoover, every cleaning product you'd need,loo roll,hand wash,tea towels etc. I had taken a lot of these but came home with them. Lovely little touch of bottles of water,biscuits,teas/coffee,pods were very much appreciated, thank you. Gorgeous surroundings out front,patio area, grass with benches in front of the lovely river Leven.Amazing views from the living room window. lovely pubs 5 mins walk, The Swan & The Huntsman,lovely nice food in both and so friendly, Great position to drive anywhere in the Lakes. Nearest shops 10 mins to Ulverston,Booths is a lovely supermarket, fab pet shop with such friendly staff willing to give you advice on where to visit. The only thing we had abit of an issue with was the people in the apartment above us. We could hear every step they made, Im not sure if they wer exceptionally heavy footed buyt it soundeed like sosmeone was running a marathon in gthe style of an elephant . I did bring this to their attention in the nicest possible way, but was met with a lack of understanding and rudeness. I know you will hear each other and thats fine but they took the mickey. Hopefully this was just this family. Other than that blip we had an amazing time and would highly recommend Lakeside Hideaway.

I’m strongly recommend:-)

“Had an amazing time at riverside hideaway it was everything we dreamt of, everything was there that we needed.”

Great location. If I could suggest one thing it would be a gate to be added to the seating area outside I was nervous letting our puppy out due to the river being so close a gate would have eased my nerves.

“Absolutely lovely cottage beautiful surroundings and had everything we needed, was a bit hard to find as sat nav took us to 3 other properties but is easy to find once you know where it is.”

Would like to thank molly from Sykes cottages who stayed on the phone to help us find it. The gentleman from lake lovers wasn’t so helpful and I obviously rang just as you was finishing but overall stay was fantastic

“Lovely cottage and location.”

Amazing to wake up next to the river each day. Great for visiting across the South Lakes and really close to two really nice restaurant/bars.

“Wonderful property with a beautiful view.”

I like to be prepared and pack but this house was just perfect. They had thought of everything from tea/coffee to laundry tablets and new scourers for the dishes. 5⭐️

“Love this cottage and location , very clean and modern .”

This is our second stay here , great to walk to The Swan or Newby Bridge Hotel for a meal although footpaths are incredibly dark . Only negatives Our first stay the cottage smelt very doggy but not so the second time , we lit the fire but the smoke came out the front and into the room so we had to put it out again. The outside light was out on both stays and definitely needed as you approach the door . Will definitely stay here again though , loved it.

Natalie October 2022

“What a lovely little cottage!”

We had a lovely stay and couldn't fault the cleanliness and quality of the cottage. The only fault we had was there was no cheese grater, which in the grand scheme of things is extremely minor - have already recommended the accomodation to family and friends.

- Natalie, October 2022
Carol September 2022

“Perfect…… had a wonderful stay at Riverside Hideaway , very clean and well equipped even had two large bottles of mineral water left one of them sparkling to accommodate every taste, we would definitely recommend booking this accommodation, just one tiny thing to mention no mattress protecter on one of the beds .”

- Carol, September 2022
Sheila July 2022

“Very well equipped property in lovely surroundings, My main complaint is the lack of a rubber bath mat to use in the shower.”

I am in my 80’s and I felt very unsafe having a shower. I did in fact bring my own mat but still felt unsafe.

“Just stayed in this gorgeous, spotless property on the edge of the lake ...”

Just stayed in this gorgeous, spotless property on the edge of the lake district, the gateway to everywhere, perfect for us sat out facing the river on an evening with glass of wine after a long walk

Helen June 2022

“The apartment was superb.”

Everything was clean and fresh. The beds were extremely comfortable. We had a wonderful holiday. The only little, and they are very little gripes,was we would have liked a cheese grater, and a broom to have given the floors a sweep each day.

- Helen, June 2022
Julie June 2022

“Riverside Hideaway was spotlessly clean on arrival.”

Very comfortable and well equipped. In a great location by the river - perfect spot for visiting the South Lakes area. We enjoyed every minute of our break, very relaxing.

Jill June 2022

“This is the most peaceful and relaxing place I have ever stayed in.”

Loved it that much we booked again as soon as we got home. The apartment is fabulous, very clean and modern. The lake and views are amazing, I would highly recommend staying here.

Michael May 2022

“A lovely property in a superb location with garden seats by the river and two hotel bars within 100m.”

There is easy access to many locations e.g.: Windermere, Coniston Water, RSPB reserves at Leighton Moss and Hodbarrow, Kendal, fells and mountains, Lakeside steam railway. The appartment is well furnished and cosy. A Wifi problem was 'sorted' quickly. We would happily stay again.

Michael December 2021

“Loved the cottage it actually is bigger than it looked in the pictures.”

Was disappointed that logs were not included for use of the log fire. The price paid to stay here should include logs. There was not double parking, room for 1 car only as a residents van was parked in the space the whole time. No basic condiments like salt and pepper and only 2 toilet rolls. Other than these small points we loved our stay.

- Michael, December 2021
David December 2021

“Delightful cottage in the southern end of the Lake District.”

We arrived in mid December and the cottage was complete with Christmas tree and decorations, a really nice touch. The local hotel and bar is a 5 minute walk across the river bridge. Ideally placed for exploring the lakes this cottage is furnished to a really high standard with all amenities required for a short break or longer holiday. I would certainly return to this property in the future.

- David, December 2021
Nigel September 2021

“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.

- Nigel, September 2021
Wendy August 2021

“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.

- Wendy, August 2021
Julia June 2021

“A great location and fabulous apartment.”

- Julia, June 2021
Cathy May 2021

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

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

Paul May 2021

“Amazing spot and we would be looking to book again.”

- Paul, May 2021
Margaret April 2021

“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.

- Margaret, April 2021
Brenda April 2021

“The cottage was ideally situated to visit South Lakes easily.”

It was exceptionally clean and comfortable.

- Brenda, April 2021
Mr Twiselton Oct 2019

“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

Perfect for couples or a small family, the riverside setting is idyllic all year round. You'll find contemporary styling and sheer elegance throughout the accommodation, which extends to a furnished riverside garden.

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.
