About this property
Newby Bridge 4 miles. This wonderful, stone-built detached cottage is located on the outskirts of the pretty village of Bouth, which has a traditional inn and is just four miles from Newby Bridge. This contemporary holiday home boasts superb furnishings and is set in an ideal location for discovering the Lake District, as well as the charming villages of Cartmel and Grange-over-Sands. The cottage boasts a stylish finish throughout and the cosy open plan living area has a woodburning stove. There is a superb bathroom and a comfortable bedroom with a large window, views across the river to Gummer's How and an external door leading out to a secluded patio, with a hot tub and steps to an elevated decked area. Settle outside on the elevated patio and admire the views, or simply sit back and enjoy the quiet location before taking a gentle walk into the village. An abundance of walks and cycle routes are available right from the doorstep, whilst the Lake District fells, Grizedale Forest, Lake Windermere and Coniston Water are nearby. Why not travel over to Cartmel and visit the shop where the original sticky toffee pudding is sold? This charming village is also well known for its superb restaurants and pubs and of course, the ancient Priory. A drive up the pretty Rusland Valley will take you to the quaint village of Hawkshead and to Hill Top, where Beatrix Potter lived and was inspired to write many of her charming tales. From here you can also catch the car ferry and cruise across Lake Windermere to discover the vibrant lakeside towns of Bowness-on-Windemere and Ambleside. A stay in this delightful corner of Cumbria will ensure a perfect romantic retreat at any time of the year.
The small village of Newby Bridge takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. Lake Windermere is within reach, along with the Aquarium of the Lakes, the picturesque village of Hawkshead and Hill Top, the home of Beatrix Potter.

Overall we have no complaints as everything is as described and will certainly be back. However, there was an issue with the pressure of the hot water in the kitchen and that needs addressing. The bedding was lovely clean and fresh but the throw at the end of the bed could maybe do with a freshen up as it had a smell of dog. Overall we had a lovely stay and would always highly recommend the lodge as itâs beautiful and great base to explore the Lakes.
