Beautiful cosy cottage in the South Lake District with comfort and luxury throughout, perfect for a relaxing getaway in this stunning location.

The lovely village of Newby Bridge has the famous former Furness Railway, which runs between Lakeside and Haverthwaite. Around the corner from the cottage, enjoy magnificent views across Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells where you can hire a boat to enjoy this wonderful area or take the steamer up to Bowness. Bowness-on-Windermere is just 8 miles away and provides a lovely day out with an abundance of bars, shops, and eateries, or head up to the picturesque village of Hawkshead which has charm and character throughout, along with many local shops and pubs and is located 9 miles from the property.

Walking into this former railway cottage, you will find yourself in the lounge area, which has two comfortable two-seater sofas positioned around the Smart TV, ideal for a relaxing family movie night after a busy day exploring the area. The kitchen/diner is tastefully styled with an electric oven and hob, and a pine dining table for everyone to enjoy a tasty meal.

The cottage was perfect for our family holiday, the size & amenities ticked all our boxes. The location was perfect; walks to Lakeside to catch the ferry across Windermere, short drive to Ulverston. The cottage felt welcoming, & the owners certainly added touches that made it feel like a home away from home. Would certainly recommend, & will returnRead more. Hide

Beautiful cottage, amazing setting. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We were mainly out during the day, but loved going into the garden in the morning and seeing all the birds and watching the little train go past. We were even treated to a an air show (fighter jet flying past) one morning. Our daughter loved it! We also Read moreloved The Lakes Monopoly. Booths at Ulverston was great for groceries. The Swan around the corner does a great breakfast. Lovely holiday, thank you! Hide

A very comfortable cottage in a delightful location. The only negative we had (which nothing could be done about) were the steep stairs, but it didn't spoil our holiday. Would highly recommend this property.
