About this property

Newby Bridge 0.6 miles.

Located near the southern tip of Lake Windermere, nestling in the quiet hamlet of Staveley-in-Cartmel near Newby Bridge, Prospect Cottage offers a warm welcome to families and couples alike. With two open fires, exposed polished wooden floorboards, a cosy sitting room and modern kitchen, this end-terrace cottage near Newby Bridge also boasts wonderful countryside views from just about every window, making it a restful and comfortable country base. This Newby Bridge cottage is within easy reach of Grange-over-Sands with its delightful promenade, Cartmel, famous for its abbey, racecourse and sticky toffee puddings, the market town of Ulverston, and the popular village of Bowness-on-Windermere with its array of shops and eateries, pitch & putt golf, tennis courts and the children’s attraction of The World of Beatrix Potter. Close by you will find the National Trust property, Fell Foot Park, set right on the shores of Lake Windermere, where you can enjoy refreshments and light meals, hire a boat in season or simply enjoy the breathtaking view up the lake. There is also an adventure playground and tree trail which are great for children. The Aquarium of the Lakes, Windermere Lake Cruises and Haverthwaite Railway are a short car ride away from your Newby Bridge cottage, as is the Lakeland Motor Museum, home to the Donald Campbell Bluebird Exhibition. There are also the National Trust properties of Sizergh Castle and Townend, as well as the historic houses at Holker and Leven Hall within driving distance. Walkers can enjoy the many trails beginning directly from the front door of this Newby Bridge cottage, and for those a bit more adventurous, a drive out to Grizedale Forest is a must, with its many mountain bike routes suitable for all capabilities. Alternatively, why not try the tree top adventure park, Go-Ape, or enjoy a trip to the nearby South Lakeland Zoo? A wonderful Newby Bridge cottage for an action-packed break or relaxing escape.

Set amidst the breathtaking Lake District scenery, the pretty hamlet of Staveley-in-Cartmel near Newby Bridge makes an excellent place from which to explore the rest of this lovely region. A great way to see the wonderful local scenery is on the famous Furness Railway which runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge, or take a look at the Aquarium of the Lakes which uses naturally themed habitats to bring the history of the Lakes vividly to life. Lake Windermere itself offers some magnificent views, as do the surrounding fells and the picturesque village of Hawkshead - a place that inspired such internationally well known authors as William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

    Lovely cottage. Very quiet and peaceful. Lovely modern kitchen and down stairs shower room. Front room a bit dark but lovely views.nice furniture. Tv only via apps. Like bbc iplayer. Nice seating area off the kitchen for three people. Comfortable beds. Curtains bit light. Would take slippers or warm socks as has hard floors. Parking is on a slopped drive quite tight. We were lucky with weather. Near the lake, had to walk along a busy road to other side of lake for boats and train trips. (Swan pub more of a hotel and spa) Loved the boat trip. Loved the scenery. Enjoyed.
