Set in the village of Finsthwaite, 2 miles from Newby Bridge, this cottage is a comfortable base for up to six guests exploring the Lake District together. Surrounded by countryside and within easy reach of the lakes, it’s well placed for walking routes, boat trips and heritage rail journeys.
Inside, the cottage blends period character with a clean, comfortable style. The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area sits beneath exposed beams and a slate-tiled floor, creating a sociable space for group stays. In the Shaker-style kitchen, there is everything needed for cooking together, with a central island that becomes a natural spot for breakfasts and evening meals. The adjoining lounge area is centred around a wood burner, making it an inviting place to settle after a day outdoors. Upstairs, a wooden staircase leads to a king-size bedroom and a double bedroom, both arranged for comfort, with a further set of stairs rising to a single room under the eaves. A family bathroom completes the layout, with a Jacuzzi bath and a separate walk-in shower. Outside, a private patio offers space for morning coffee or evening drinks. The king-size bedroom also opens onto a terrace via French doors, with steps leading down to the patio below. Private driveway parking is available for one car.
Nearby, the West Windermere Way circular walk (0.5 miles away) passes through Newby Bridge, Lakeside and Great Knott Wood, while Haverthwaite (4 miles) is home to the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway. From Lakeside (1 mile), cruises across Lake Windermere offer views across England’s largest lake and the surrounding fells.
