About this property
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.

Very well equipped, only one thing missing is a tea cosy for the teapot! Good location and surprisingly quiet in the cottage even though itâs by the road. Very good garden space.

The house is perfect for two families of 4, really well kitted out, meaning you can easily cook for everyone if you feel like it but also have the option of eating out due to it being in walking distance to local pubs and hotels. Thank you!
