About this property

Newby Bridge 1 mile.

Resting in the small village of Lakeside, just north of Newby Bridge, is this detached cottage, 10 Landing Close. Set over a single-storey and sleeping up to ten guests, this charming bungalow is a great setting for your next group trip to the Lake District National Park, within easy reach of Windermere and Grizdale Forest. You are greeted to the property with a large private driveway and surrounding grounds with plenty of lawn for children to run around in, ample seating areas on the patio to enjoy a sport of al fresco dining, an external utility to keep everyone feeling fresh and an outdoor hot tub for a relaxing evening under the stars. Stepping into the cottage, there is a spacious open-plan living area with chairs and sofas surrounding the television for a relaxing film night with some popcorn, a dining table seating the whole group so they can enjoy a home-cooked meal, rustled up in the well-equipped and contemporary kitchen area which is certain to entice any budding chefs, especially with the handy dishwasher making the washing up a breeze. Moving through the property, there is a snug room with a television and games for the children to escape from reality, a bunk room, a double bedroom with storage space to unpack any personal belongings, and a shower room which has Jack and Jill access to a marvellous king-size bedroom with it's own television. There is also a bathroom offering the choice to relax in the corner bath or hop into the shower cubicle for a quick freshen up, as well as the family room which has a super-king bed, a bunk bed for young children, a television for when the evening draws to a close and a warming woodburning stove, bringing a traditional element to the room. Lakeside is a lovely little village resting right on Lake Windermere, with the popular Lakes Aquarium, a pier offering boat rides and cruises around the Lake, and a train station which is famous for the Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest steam railways, running to and from Haverthwaite. Just a short walk or drive over the River Leven is the village of Newby Bridge, where there is a petrol station offering any essentials you may need during your trip, and a hotel serving food and drink, for when you fancy an evening out of the kitchen. Also a short drive away is the Lakeland Motor Museum, and in the opposite direction the Grizdale Forest offers an action packed Go Ape experience with a treetop challenge, zip lines, Segway scooters and high ropes courses. On the other side of the gorgeous lake, you can explore the beautiful towns of Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere, which both offer a number of shops, bars and restaurants, and with plenty to do and see from watersports, boat hire and golf, to museums such as The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and the Jetty Museum with stories of boats and steam, they make for a great day out. A little further afield is Ambleside, an amazing town and a popular starting point for many of the mountain and woodland routes around the Lake District. Also within driving distance is the South Lakes Safari Zoo and Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, which both make a great trip for children. For a brilliant trip to the Lake District, choose 10 Landing Close as your group's home-away-from-home.

In the small village of Newby Bridge you can 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. The famous Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam railways, runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge, perfect for soaking up the scenery.

    I will bulletpoint my issues below: - Hot tub not ready on arrival, dirty, had a very strong bad smell. When we finally managed to get it to work, it caused all members of our group to have severe skin reactions. No help provided when owner messaged - Advertised as 5 TVs but only 4 available, all locked with a pin and no pin provided even after asking owner - Rude neighbours who harass you daily if you park (even momentarily) on the street. Not enough space to park more than 2 cars within the property gates which is ridiculous for a house of this size - Basic necessities not provided such as soap, shower gel, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper (provided but only 2 rolls) - Heating locked remotely, meaning the house is always cold an everyone needed to wear jumpers - And some other small issues such as: half of the stove being broken; toilet windows locked; shed locked so no cushions for outdoor seating even though advertised Finally, the owner is not contactable with all these issues despite trying to reach out multiple times. Do not rent this property, spend a little more on any other place for a much better experience.

    The house was clean and tidy on arrival and plenty of room for all of us. There are some jobs that need doing around the house that others have already commented on- Cleaning outside cushions on furniture and a general clean up of outside furniture. Tap in on suite has no hot water- asked whilst we were there and just told that the owners know. However the kitchen tap broke whilst we were there and was fixed the same day- thankyou Also lack of a large saucepan as house sleeps 9 and should be able to cook for 9 without using 3 pans! Also when we have stayed in other places with a hot tub someone has come daily to check the water - as far as I’m aware we did not see anyone during our week.

    In the instructions it seemed that there was a freezer/refrigerator and besides that another refrigerator and a separate large freezer. The bathrooms are keyless. This is very disturbing! Other than that, we had a great time. A wonderful place with a beautiful view
