“There was a bit of an issue with the electricity in that if you had too much on at once the lights would trip.”

Other than that is was a lovely stay.

“We really appreciated all the little touches like the welcoming basket when we arrived.”

Things like this make such a difference especially after a long day travelling. The hot tub was a real hit with the kids whereas the real log fire was my personal highlight. A truly beautiful cottage in even more beautiful surroundings, it was a pleasure to come home to this every evening after long walks.

“Lovely cottage, excellent facilities, close to main Lake District attractions ...”

Lovely cottage, excellent facilities, close to main Lake District attractions but just far enough off the beaten track at the same time - we will definitely go again

Mrs Atkinson October 2019

“Utterly incredible.”

From booking to arriving it was the smoothest process. The cottage was so well presented. Very clean and had everything you could need. I love the welcome pack full of local goodies The bedding and towels were very clean and fresh, the cottage was incredibly clean. Would absolutely book with you again.

Mrs Davies October 2019

“On arrival at Hazel Cottage, it really does take your breath away.”

The cottage is beautiful and the location is simply stunning with breath taking views. The cottage is like a home from home and has everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. The little extras left by the owners ie; fresh bread and lovely jams are such a thoughtful edition. I have been on quite alot of holidays and always struggle to get company in hotel beds. The beds at Hazel cottage are so comfortable i was really suprised. Everything about our stay was luxury we cannot wait to visit again.

“Excellent Bigland Hall Courtyard Cottage”

A really lovely clean, extremely comfortable,warm, quiet cottage with beautiful views. Spent a relaxing birthday week here making full use of the hot tub. The cottage is in great proximity to L’enclume in Cartmel as well as Newby Bridge & Southern Lakes. As well as the brilliant view, we loved watching the dozens of pheasants on the property. Two friends joined us for the weekend and also loved the cottage. This was our 2nd stay, the 1st being in Lime Cottage which was also superbly furnished. Linsey & Andrew we’re both very welcoming & helpful. We will definitely stay again.

“House needs a better WIFI connection and absolutely needs a radio or device for playing music.”

It was possible to stream through the tv but the connection was so poor it dropped out. Also the tv needs radio channels if the above is not actioned

“A wonderful place to stay.”

The only downside for me was the mattress which was too hard for me to sleep on, but apart from that, it was perfect in every way.

About the location

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 Haverthwaite Steam Railway runs close by the village between Haverthwaite and Lakeside. 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.
