The 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.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

“Really lovely cottage on a very quiet lane with pleasant views over the valley with hill behind and a glimpse of Lake Windermere in the distance.”

It was really nice to sit out on the bench in the front garden in the evening with a cup of tea / glass of wine. A good location for exploring the area but with good walks from the doorstep too. Walking distance (15 mins) to the Swan at Newby Bridge, would also recommend the the delightful Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank though quite a bit further.

“Well decorated cottage!”

It was very stylish, and the views from the window having a bath is amazing. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay with a good sized kitchen to cook our meals. Would love to come stay there again some time in the future.

- Miss Billings, April 2021
Mrs Voges September 2020

“Charming, cosy and clean cottage in a fantastic location.”

Only a 10min walk to the Swan which served great food! The views from the front of the house were magical. Didn’t realise how close it was to lake Windermere and main roads for travelling.

Miss Pattman August 2020

“Gorgeous cottage and much bigger than expected.”

We didn't want to leave! Everyone who came to visit said how great the house is. Good walks up in the hills behind on a gravel track - ideal for us as we're not fully equipped fell walkers, and a great view at the top. We would definitely stay here again.

- Miss Pattman, August 2020
Mrs Balode January 2020

“Realy nice place to stay.”

View is stanning, cottage is cosy. It was clean and comfy. Next time would take a slippers with me though as the floor is too cold. Overall I would stay there again.

Mr Enhuber October 2018

“The cottage is beautiful, well decorated and very clean.”

It has space and its facilities (heating, Internet...) work well. The location is also great, we were able to start walks from the cottage. Gill was a fantastic host. She made sure everything was working, replied quickly and even allowed for a later checkout. We really enjoyed our stay.

- Mr Enhuber, October 2018
Mrs Elliott September 2018

“Excellent cottage in beautiful tranquil surroundings.”

Would highly recommend it. Only issue with the cottage was that the shower pressure is a little on the low side. Maybe worth considering a change to a power shower if possible but that is our only criticism. Apart from that, it was a perfect little home from home.

- Mrs Elliott, September 2018

Mrs Keenan November 2015

“We love the open fires, that is why we searched for properties with fires in winter time.”

The cottage was superb with fantastic views at the front. I loved every room in the cottage and the TV den in the kitchen was fantastic for our 4 year old. We are definitely coming back. It is also within easy driving distance of towns around the lake.

- Mrs Keenan, November 2015

Loved having the sheep in the field opposite! Comfy beds, cosy house and lovely location. Great to have 2 living areas to allow the family to spread out.

- Mrs Bullough, March 2015
Mrs Walker February 2015

“We all had the most wonderful time at Prospect Cottage!”

I chose the cottage as it fitted all my criteria but it actually surpassed expectation. The setting is perfect - so peaceful with the most gorgeous views. The cottage is spacious and well equipped - I loved the stripped doors, polished floors, fireplaces and sash windows. So lovely in fact that we would all like to move and in and will definitely be back!

- Mrs Walker, February 2015
Mrs Kuran November 2014

“The cottage was stunning, and it was like a home from home.”

It had everything we needed and felt very spacious yet still cosy (especially with the open fires!). It was close to the motorway yet still close to lots of attractions, you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but it was easy to reach local amenities. We had a fabulous time and will definitely be recommending the property to family and friends. Thank you!

- Mrs Kuran, November 2014
Mrs Conway August 2014

So peaceful and calm, away from the hustle of the Lakes towns. The kitchen was really well equipped which is rare in rental properties. Would highly recommend it.

- Mrs Conway, August 2014
Mr Drury August 2014

“Sitting out in the front garden in the afternoon & evening sun with the view from the cottage.”

The spaciousness of the cottage and the incredibly large quantity & range of cutlery, crockery & kitchen equipment. The effective heating & hot water system.The purpose was to take part in Lake District 5 day orienteering event & I very much enjoyed that, especially the two days I performed much better than I often do. Levens Hall gardens are terrific. The view from the finish at the top of Pike O Blisco on day 4.

- Mr Drury, August 2014
Miss Park March 2014

“The house is gorgeous and in a lovely quiet little area.”

Will definitely be going there again!

March 2014

“The cottage was immaculate, stylish, yet simple.”

The perfect location for mountain biking, running, walking and dining out, and inside in the wonderful kitchen. On a clear day you can see Windermere and Old Man from the cottage. What more could you want?! The owner was lovely and very helpful. Perfect, thank you!

About the location

NEWBY BRIDGE

Bowness-on-Windermere 8 miles.

The small village of Newby Bridge takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. The famous Furness Railway, one of Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam railways, runs between Haverthwaite and Newby Bridge. Visit the Lakeside Hotels and enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells, or enjoy 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, plus 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, and admire the views at nearby Gummer's How.
