About this home

Less than a ten-minute drive to Lake Windermere, this stylish apartment in Backbarrow puts you right in the heart of the Lake District. Forests, fens and fresh air offer endless possibilities for adventures around Cumbria. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the River Leven, don your hiking shoes and climb to the top of Gummer’s How for incredible views or hop in the car and explore the charming postcard-worthy villages dotted around the Lakes – Windermere, Ambleside and Hawkshead are all about a half-hour by car.Planning on cycling during your trip? You’ll find mounted bike racks back at home for easy storage, as well as a locker and a freshwater wash-down area. And that’s just a few of the little details your hosts have thought of here. Between the Bosh appliances in the glossy kitchen, hotel-quality linens on the sumptuous beds and local handmade Pure Lakes toiletries in the sleek bathroom, you’ll have everything you need for a carefree holiday.And the cherry on top of it all is the quaint patio, where you can bask in the sunshine as the meandering river flows right by. We can’t think of a better spot to enjoy a cup of coffee or savour a glass of wine come evening, especially with the sight of the steam train chugging along the Haverthwaite Railway – now that’s not something you’ll get to see every day.

Good to know

At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. We highly suggest renting a car in this rural location – there are two free parking spaces on-site. There’s also free bike storage if you plan on cycling during your trip. The main road is just across the river, and you can hear it from the patio. This home has self check-in and is key-free . As this is a ground-floor, single-level apartment, it could be a good option for those with limited mobility. Though there isn’t a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. The entrance to this home is shared with the building’s other residents
