Set in the small village of Backbarrow less than 3 miles from the southern tip of Lake Windermere, this delightful modern cottage makes a great base for your Lake District adventures. Providing ample accommodation for four guests, this dog-friendly cottage benefits from stylish and spacious living areas and a lovely patio garden. With stunning landscapes all around and an abundance of Lakeland attractions and amenities nearby, it offers a great balance between relaxation and adventure.

Laid out over two storeys, this smart, semi-detached cottage has sophisticated colour schemes, stylish furniture, and has been fitted out with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The inviting lounge, with its comfortable seating and warming wood burner, is the ideal spot to relax and recharge after adventurous days out. Rustle up family favourites in the kitchen and gather together to savour your creations around the dining table in the lounge. Upstairs, two good-sized bedrooms, a queen-size and a twin, offer a restful night’s sleep, and a family bathroom completes the first floor. Fire up the BBQ and make the most of warm weather by dining alfresco in the courtyard garden.

Transport lovers can hop on the steam train at Haverthwaithe (1 mile) to visit Lake Windermere in style, and visit the Lakeland Motor Museum just outside the village (0.5 miles).

Very clean and comfortable. We went in between Christmas and New Year for somewhere to relax, chill and basically to do nothing. The property was perfect and had everything we needed. Would recommend to anybody. Enjoyed our stay!!!!

Quiet village, but close enough to A590 to visit lots of the beautiful places a short drive away or a 3 mile walk to the south lakeside. Property was well maintained and decorated. Comfy living room, large bedrooms and downstairs loo which was nice after a days walking. Patio was nice for sitting out with a drink at the end of the day. Neighbours wRead moreere all friendly and some nice walks for the dog. The Anglers Arms in Haverthwaite does lovely food but book in advance if you have a dog to avoid disappointment. Will definitely look to come back to Dawn Cottgae. Hide

The property is very comfortable and adequately equipped with everything you could need. When I stayed there were a few warm days and nights. My only negative comment would be on those evenings when you may want to sleep with a bedroom window open, there is significant road noise from the very close A590 main road late evening and very early morninRead moreg.

Dawn Cottage is a good base to explore the area, lots of walks around the village and beyond, enjoyed by our two dogs. Enjoyed our time here, everyone we met was friendly, local history of the village is so interesting.

Enjoyed a week stay here at Dawn Cottage. Loved sitting on an evening with the patio doors open in the late sunshine. Easy base to get out and about from. Well planned accommodation. Thank you.
