4 Bed in Backbarrow (oc-lr094)

Nestled near Newby Bridge at the southern tip of Lake Windermere, this stone-built cottage offers groups of friends or family a wonderful blend of traditional character and contemporary comfort. Visit the Lakeland Motor Museum (0.5 miles) or step back in time at the Haverthwaite Steam Railway, where you can hop aboard a heritage train to Lakeside (2 miles). From there, connect with a lake cruise for scenic sailings across the water to Bowness-on-Windermere (10 miles) or Ambleside (14 miles). At Lakeside, families will also love the Lakes Aquarium, while those craving a challenge can test their teamwork skills at the nearby Cliffhanger Escape Rooms. Outdoor enthusiasts are well catered for too, with horse riding, golf courses, cycling routes and mountain bike trails all within easy reach. Fell Foot Park (2.5 miles) is a firm favourite, with lake access for paddleboarders, boat hire, a cafe and plenty of open space for picnics and games.


On the ground floor, there are two inviting bedrooms: a cosy king-size and a luxurious super-king (which can be made into twin single beds on request), both share a Jack and Jill sleek en-suite bathroom that includes a bath and shower. Also on this level is a welcoming living room, where plush sofas and a Smart TV with Sky create a sociable setting for evenings in after days spent exploring. Upstairs, the bright, fully equipped kitchen has everything needed for easy catering, including a dishwasher, while a large dining table brings everyone together for meals. A football table adds a playful twist to the room. This floor is also home to a spacious double bedroom and a twin room, along with a family bathroom fitted with both a bath and a separate shower.


Outside, the terraced garden is stylishly arranged, with outdoor seating for open-air dining. There's secure storage for bikes and paddleboards, plus a covered table tennis table for a bit of friendly competition. Parking for four cars keeps things straightforward from arrival to departure.
