Newby Bridge House

We stayed at Newby Bridge House in August as a multi generational family.

The house was perfect for us! It was done to a very high standard, one of the best we've ever stayed in. The decor, fixtures and fittings we exceptional for a holiday cottage! All the bedrooms were a good size and the bathrooms were done beautifully. The location of the house was great, we could walk to the ferry at Lakeside, there are two hotels within a few hundred feet of the cottage. Kendal is only a short drive away. The garden was the real WOW, having the river right at the bottom of the garden to be able to launch our paddleboard and kayak was fabulous! A 30 min paddle upstream takes you onto Lake Windermere. We had out dog with us and the Garden was very secure for her plus there are many walks from the doorstep. I also had to contact the owner regarding a slight hiccup and she was wonderful, really helpful and responsive. We will definately return to Newby Bridge House and we couldn't reccommend it highly enough.

The house was amazing lovely an clean and great facilities.

Games room is a plus with teenagers. The access straight onto the water is fantastic. Second stay for us and we will be back again. Close to all amenities. Only down for us this year was when we arrived the garden was full of poo spend the first 30 mins picking it all up so our dog didn't run through it.

We had a lovely stay at Newby Bridge house again, for about the 10th time holidaying there, house is clean and comfortable, very well equipped, amazing garden with river access, perfect for kayaking, the only niggle I have is that the 1 parasol provided is not enough to shade the seating area, it did became to hot to sit out and enjoy the views.

This is an excellent property.

Four of us stayed for 4 nights and it was immaculate with quality decor and fittings. The two showers were modern, spotless and easy to work out. Kitchen well stocked. Knives and forks are in a hidden drawer inside a drawer. There is a boat launch ramp if you think you can kayak or canoe against the flow to Windermere lake. There is stacks of parking and mainly out of sight of passing eyes. Lounge is good. Games room has a low ceiling light so watch your head . Welcome package was lovely. Garden immaculate. It is near an A road but the double glazing is new and very good at shutting out the road. Brilliant base for our trips each day. Easy to get to, no windy lanes. We would definitely use it again. Pubs/ restaurants are a few hundred yards. Sit by the river and watch the wagtails feeding on gnats etc. Beds very comfortable in each room. For the money, it was great value as a base.

This is a wonderful house, beautifully presented by the owners and a joy to stay in.

Its position by the river is an added bonus, and when the weather is good it is a great place to sit and watch the world go by, or enjoy the odd gin and tonic. A very well‑equipped kitchen and a generous welcome package. The house is opposite Haverthwaite Railway, which stops at Newby Bridge, so from here you can get to Lakeside and the ferry to Ambleside or Windermere. A couple of things which I’m sure the owners would be pleased to deal with. The shower base in the shower room is very slippery and quite dangerous. The main bedrooms have no mirrors, so there is nowhere to use a hair dryer.

Property is situated in excellent location.

Had everything we needed and more facilities wise. Was cleaned and maintained to a high standard. Would highly recommend this property.

Great house, stunning view from the back garden.

Busy road at front, but you don’t hear the traffic when windows are closed. Busy road stop right outside Would return

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful property.

It was extremely clean and well-maintained and was equipped with everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

This is the second time we have stayed at Newby bridge, very nice setting and isolated.

We take our 2 sproker dogs and they love it with the open space of the garden and able to go into the water at the bottom of the garden. It’s a fantastic location and not to far to go to get to Windermere. I would say property could do with and little refresh but that’s just my opinion.

We had an excellent stay away.

The house was very clean and comfortable. All kitchen utilities were all there which was very helpful. Lots of room for 8 adults. We really enjoyed having the water at the bottom of the garden and we would definitely book again. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

We stayed here for the 2nd time.

Lovely house which is very well equipped. The garden is great with easy access into the river. There are only 2 hotels nearby so it is a car journey to shops and more touristy areas but perfect location for us as we enjoy paddle boarding and walks. The house is on a busy road but traffic noise isn’t something we really noticed, but it can be tricky for getting out or crossing over to hotel restaurant over the road. All in all a fantastic house and we will be returning.

Our first time visiting Newby Bridge House - it was a lovely property with plenty of space for us all (x7) the bonus of the garden leading to the river was excellent as we paddle board regularly and it was nice to get out on the water without having to travel miles to a lake to do it.

The property was well equipped and beds were really comfortable and clean, being next to a main road did not matter as we didn't notice one bit - the only negative was the distance from the central lakes where we usually stay - takes over 20 minutes to drive and you think Newby Bridge as a lovely village - there is only the two hotels across the road and across the bridge and that's is but you are well away from the tourist hotspots - and the throng of people. The property is very clean apart from the cobwebs and large spiders hiding in corners and crevices but that would be my only 2nd negative. Even though it is a beautiful house I don't think we would stay again due to the amount of travel to get to places in the central lakes, spent most of my time driving where I like to be closer.

Beautiful house, everything we needed.

Excellent position. River frontage was amazing, easy to get down to river, we had good weather and made full use of it. Easy off road walk to Lakeside. Two mins over the bridge to the Swan for a meal. Lots of garden furniture, cushions, parasol etc not shown on website. Photos don't do it justice. We will be returning.

Absolutely loved our stay!

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a wonderful break at Newby Bridge House.

The house was beautiful and the location was great - we loved the river at the end of the garden. The house was spotlessly clean and very well looked after.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location.

Had everything we needed.......Very comfortable beds too. Would definitely recommend & stay there again.

We have just returned home after spending a week in this beautiful property.

The property stands on the banks of the River Leven and the private back garden leads down to the waters edge (easy access for fishing, boating etc). We were very lucky and had gorgeous weather for the full week so we sat on the patio down by the water on many occasions. The owners have provided plenty of seating and cushions for your use and a sun parasol. The house itself is clean and beautifully decorated with luxurious furnishings and the kitchen is very well stocked with crockery, utensils etc. Real home from home and it’s a credit to the owners. Plenty of on site parking on the private gated drive. Walking distance to two hotels/pubs and only a one mile walk over to Lakeside along the relatively flat but accessible Windermere Way. Photos don’t do it justice. We had a lovely time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others. We hope to return again. Plenty of private parking available and easy access.

A perfect place to stay for a larger group.

20 minute drive into Windermere and a shop 2 minutes down the road. Facilities very well maintained, lovely bathrooms and very comfy beds. Would stay again!

Wonderful house in a stunning location, well equipped for our mixed ages family of 8.

We had a fabulous few days. Could run out of superlatives to describe the house & our stay . Description & photos don’t do it justice , it’s even better than it looks. We will definitely return . But it would be super helpful to have salt & pepper pots please

Lovely holiday cottage in a great location, I was worried about how close it was to the road for noise at night but this was fine.

Lovely back garden close to the river my daughter lived playing in here this would be perfect in summer, was a tad chilly when we visited. House was perfect lovely and clean, will definitely be returning.

A beautiful house, well maintained and in a good location.

Only suggestion is to provide information about rubbish disposal. Recycling was obvious but we could not find a place to dispose other rubbish

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage with a lovely garden

Thankyou to the housekeeper the property was very nice and clean.

Very well equipped, only one thing missing is a tea cosy for the teapot! Good location and surprisingly quiet in the cottage even though it’s by the road. Very good garden space.

Beautiful house in a lovely location to explore the local area , house was well equipped and the welcome gift was such a lovely thought plus staying over Christmas the disposable trays were a bonus not have to scrub and pans We had a few issues which skye lakeside maintenance for so efficient and helpful

Lovely stay over new years in a great location.

The house is perfect for two families of 4, really well kitted out, meaning you can easily cook for everyone if you feel like it but also have the option of eating out due to it being in walking distance to local pubs and hotels. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic cottage in a great location.

All your homes comforts. Lovely to have a welcome pack and logs available on arrival. Kitchen stacked with utensils, plenty for 8 guests including a slow cooker! Very comfortable furniture in the lounge and snug, great after a day walking. Great walks from the cottage aswell. Would definitely return and recommend a visit.

This property is fantastic, the location is perfect with the beautiful river at the end of the garden.

Was a little surprised about the maintenance team leaving the gate open when we were staying with a dog, thankfully nothing untoward happened. Perhaps a message to say we should expect them would help. Will deffo look to book again in the future! Thank you

Amazing holiday home in a fantastic location.

Ideal for anyone who has paddle boards or kayaks as your straight onto the water from the end of the garden. Storage was great so you didn't have to put the boards up and down daily. The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Beds were really comfortable with beautiful bedding. Kitchen was really modern with everything you could possibly need. We were a family of mixed age from young to old and the property catered for everyone's needs. Our teenage boys enjoyed the games room. We are looking forward to returning next year!

It was a great holiday and was enjoyed by everyone The only drawback was the public transport

A beautiful property with a breathtaking garden.

Decor between old and new perfectly done to provide the ultimate comfort for guests. Everything my family needed for our break and more was in this house. I would definitely recommend. I would even go as far as to say this breath taking house made our stay in the lakes extra special.

Lovely property.

Had everything we needed. Welcome pack was great. Would definitely return if decide to visit the area again with our family.

An ideally placed, well equipped and picturesque setting for anyone.

We only had a short break. We are already planning a longer one sometime in the future.

We stayed here for 3 nights with family and dog for my husbands 50th birthday.

The cottage was beautiful and very welcoming. It was clean and well presented. It was extremely well equipped for a large group of people. Lovely walks from the doorstep and visited Grizedale forest where half the group walked and the half cycled. Lovely garden for the dog to play with her ball and cool off in the river. I would definitely book this cottage again.

We came to Lake District as a family to scatter my dads ashes.

Your house made our stay. There are no other words than stunning. Every room has been thought through throughly and offers every comfort needed. Can’t recommend highly enough Thank you.

This property is amazing, well furnished everything you need.

Garden is great for dog and kids. Very comfortable well recommended ❤️

Absolutely perfect.

Great location and lovely house. Garden and river beautiful. Very clean and well kept with everything you could possibly need (even a welcome pack with drinks and snacks) Would 100% stay again. Thank you!

We had a fantastic holiday at Lake District, lovely house to stay, game room was really useful to keep kids busy !

House really clean and big living area for 7 of us.

Great house in a great location.

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our family and friends. The house was warm and welcoming and had all the mod cons of modern living. The welcome pack was a nice touch from the owners as well. All in all a really enjoyable stay for our family.

Really comfortable and cozy with a well equipped kitchen with everything you need for a family holiday.

Took full advantage of the riverside access going out daily up the river to Lakeside on the kayak. Saw deer, heron, ducks and geese. Loads of car parking space. Had a wonderful stay and would fully recommend

We had a wonderful week’s stay at Newby Bridge House recently.

The house managed to be both characterful yet equipped with mostly every modern convenience you could hope for. The décor contemporary and tasteful. The outside space lovely and garden secure for our dog. The location was ideal in proximity to the attractions and stunning sceneries of The Lake District. We particularly loved the fact that you could walk behind the Swan hotel (nearby) to the Lakeside Pier take in the scenery and pick up a cruise directly to Bowness and/or Ambleside. You could also take the car and park if you so wished. In terms of constructive comments, it is as you may expect a popular/busier traffic heavy area therefore expect to wait when trying to approach or leave the house. But this is not a real detracting factor just a consideration.

Superb house in superb location.

Amazing garden - dog loved it. We would have spent more time out there had it not rained every day. The entire house and its facilities are first class. The decor and furnishings are modern and tasteful. The beds are plush and comfortable. The kitchen and utility are very well equipped. The enormous fridge freezer is dreamy. Plenty of space for teens to chill in the den. The only thing the house lacks is a downstairs toilet - I appreciate there is one in the outbuilding but my elderly parents would have appreciated one in the house so they didn't have to climb the stairs as often. Would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful, relaxing and wonderful house. It is as stunning inside as it is outside. We all enjoyed our stay.

We absolutely loved the house.

We really loved the peace sitting at the end of the garden. A great holiday! Our dog loved the lake at the end of the garden. A great experience.

What a stunning house and perfect location right on the river.

Only a few minutes walk over the bridge to the Swan hotel. Well equipped and beautifully furnished. Highly recommended, and we will be returning.

Stunning house in a beautiful setting.

This was our first self catering holiday in the UK with our dog (usually European hotels!) so was a big change for us - we are now converted - thank you! There is nothing that we would change. The photos on the website show the old kitchen - the new kitchen deserves to be shown off - we were also pleased to see the Nespresso coffee maker! The Swan Hotel is lovely for a drink and meals - also very dog friendly. We found a new footpath behind the hotel - West Windermere Way which was fabulous for dog walking. We would definitely recommend this lovely place.

We’ve just returned from staying at Newby Bridge House and the property did not disappoint.

It was an amazing house with all the comforts we needed to make our stay memorable. The decor of the house was very tasteful and all the furniture and beds were really comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with all crockery you could possibly need during your stay and had the luxury of a washing machine, tumble driver and dishwasher. The back garden was fabulous leading onto open riverbank which was ideal for the dog and was a sun trap when the sun finally made an entrance. Our 3 year old grandson and the family thoroughly enjoyed their adventures and we are planning a return in the not too distant future.

The cottage was excellent and beautifully maintained inside and out.

My only negative comment would be that even though dogs are allowed the garden area could be a little more secure as the main road is very close. (My dog managed to get through the hedge). Other than this I would definetely recommend.

If I could give 10 stars I would!

Also really appreciated the owners flexiblility and generosity.

Everything we needed …thankyou

The house is in a beautiful setting even if on a busy road.

You couldn’t really hear the traffic even when sitting down by the river. It is obvious that care has been taken in the decoration of the rooms and the added touches of PlayStations etc and games in a fabulous study ensures others may enjoy the lounge area for reading or watching the tv with the log burner on. Provision of logs was a plus. Nice touch on providing dishwasher/washing machine pods and cleaning products. We would probably say that only one suggestion regarding towels is that bath sheets as opposed to towels might be better option but the quality of these were fabulous and lovely and soft. In the kitchen the provision of some tea and coffee was appreciated. We couldn’t find the grill handle but maybe we weren’t looking correctly. On trying to keep the property swept and clean , we found the Dyson slightly ineffective especially if you have a pet. Luckily we had fabulous weather and was not walking much dirt into the house. All the family had a great time and enjoyed their week at Newby Bridge. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved this property.

Lovely location and beautifully decorated. The garden is amazing, especially with the river and seating at the end. The kids enjoyed playing in the water and it made an excellent place to launch our kayak. Will definitely come back.

This was my third stay at newby bridge house, it’s clean and comfortable, as everything that you need, and the view from the garden is amazing, lots of parking space, although bit tricky to drive through the gates to the house, Other than that I can’t fault it, we had a lovely stay there and have already booked again for next year.

Absolutely amazing!

! We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here and the accommodation was just perfect for comfort and also for launching our canoe straight from end of garden to explore lake Windermere. We would definitely come back. Thank you so much! The local pubs are amazing too! Highly recommend the Eagles Head and The White Hart. Food was amazing.

Myself and my entire party had the most wonderful break at Newby House, we arrived late Friday evening and was immediately impressed by the property.

It was immaculate, the rooms were both beautifully decorated and the beds were comfortable. The view from the garden was spectacular and we are already discussing when we will be returning!

Rented many holiday homes over last 20yrs, this house is up there with the best, small things like Quality pots & pans, kitchen gadgets and very good televisions.

The garden is fabulous going down to river with table's and chairs to relax, enjoy the local wild life with the ducks coming up for there breakfast every morning, also seen many first little egret on river Beautiful, to sum up House fabulous, area fabulous you won't be disappointed if you book this property... Bernard G

Good base to the lakes

We really enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful house with direct access the river at the end of the garden, which was great for early-morning dips! Would definitely recommend.

The house was spacious and immaculately presented.

The kitchen had everything that was needed. Plenty of parking and the garden going down to the river was a real bonus. Cushions for the garden furniture of a high standard. Little things like the cutlery all lined up in sections in the draw. Someone had really taken care of presenting this house to a very high standard.

The place was better than demonstrated in the pictures.

We loved the place. We will booking this house again for sure!
