Ref: 1441 Whiteholme Cottage 
BACKBARROW Newby Bridge 1 mile; Bowness-on-Windermere 10 miles. The small village of Backbarrow sits by the banks of the River Leven and the southern tip of Lake Windermere. The famous Furness Railway runs close by the village between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge. Enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or visit 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, and 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. Set amidst the charm of the Lake District, close to the fringe of Windermere, this attractive village makes an inspiring choice from which to forage further into a magical heartland of silver lakes, lofty towering peaks and lonely gorse clad moors. The Property: Whiteholme Cottage An attractive terraced Lakeland cottage nestling on a hillside above the tiny village of Backbarrow, just a stone's throw from the southern tip of Lake Windermere.

Well equipped and thoughtfully presented, Whiteholme Cottage boasts a beautiful garden and a delightful living room with open fire.

| Previous Visitors' Comments | Previously in the UK we have usually camped with this holiday being our second in a rented property.The major benefit we found was that even when the weather was at its worst it was possible to come home get dry and light a fire.
Mr Turner, Littlehampton, West Sussex
Aug 2008 | The views from the garden were amazing.
Mrs White, Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Aug 2008 | A very warm welcome and nice extras. The owner really cared about her guests having a good stay.
Wonderful views from the property and a great real fire!
Mr Lansdell, Norwich, Norfolk
Nov 2007 | There was nothing you could fault with the cottage - fabulous view, comfortable and cosy rooms, wood for a real fire in the evenings, and TV and games to amuse the kids. Even nuts provided to feed the birds! Obviously a very thoughtful and kind owner. The weather was great too, which I know you can't take credit for but it helps! Another fabulous Sykes cottage (our 4th)- I continue to recommend you to my friends.
Mr & Mrs Johnson, Warrington, Cheshire
Oct 2007 | A great welcome from the owners. A great cottage in a great spot with a view you dream of - the view from the garden down the valley and across the steam train line was awesome. A very homely cottage which was perfect for our needs. Highly recommended!
Mr Thompson, Bury, Greater Manchester
Aug 2007 | A delightful country cottage and garden. The owner provided welcome touches.
Miss Bruce, Ware, Hertfordshire
Aug 2007 | Lovely clean cottage with nice garden and view. Thoughtful extra touches like milk, cereal wine and Easter eggs etc. were very much appreciated and we thought the cottage deserved a higher rating. An excellent base for exploring the lakes and a friendly and helpful owner.
Ms Mallinson, Preston, Lancashire
Apr 2007 | I liked where the cottage was situated the scenery was beautiful, and was in easy reach of all the main places to go. I have stayed in places of higher grades and this cottage was much better than them. I loved the local walks and the ferry on Lake Windermere, as well as all the chocolate shops!
Miss Winter, Isleworth,
Mar 2007 | A real gem, the owner took personal pride in her property. She provided extras like milk, tea, logs and wine! These all contributed to the warmness of the welcome. I also appreciated the text in the middle of the week to check everything was all right.
Mr Brough, Stafford, Staffordshire
Feb 2007 | The view. Quiet, cosy cottage.
