We had a lovely weekend at the Riverview Apartment in Backbarrow and hope to stay there again in 2026. Its a contemporary apartment - with high quality fittings - that was quiet, spotlesly clean and well equipped. The apartment is ideally located to Ulverston, Hawkshead, CartmeI and Newby Bridge - at the southern tip of Lake Windermere - so made a perfect base for our weekend We found it to be great value for money too and would definitely recommend it. ps we had no problems with doors, the bed and/or finding the cutlery.
