“Great location and very easy to find.”

Very clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were games and books and lots of local information for walks and attractions. This place is a great base to explore the southern part of the Lake District by car, on foot, by bus or you can take the local steam train (just 10 mins walk front door) up to Lakeside (southern tip of Lake Windermere) and either take a boat from there or take a walk in the surrounding area.

Very clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were games and books and lots of local information for walks and attractions. This place is a great base to explore the southern part of the Lake District by car, on foot, by bus or you can take the local steam train (just 10 mins walk front door) up to Lakeside (southern tip of Lake Windermere) and either take a boat from there or take a walk in the surrounding area. The accommodation was in a safe, quiet area, next to the river with private parking and outside space to sit and eat.

“Lovely property.”

Perfect location to visit the Lake District. Unfortunately our holiday was spoilt for the first two nights because of the family upstairs.. It sounded like they doing gymnastics above us, therefore we couldn't sleep. Contacted Alex at Lakelovers on Monday 12th to see if could contact the owner because the property above slept 6 people and 10 people vacated the property that morning. He assured us he would come back to us, but we heard nothing! Clearly Lakelovers had their money, so job done.

- Karen, June 2023

Thank you for your comments. We apologise for the experience that you had during your stay, and that a member of the team did not come back to you. We will investigate further into your comments. We hope to welcome you to the Lake District again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team........................................................ Apologies, I have subsequently made contact with the owner of the property above ours to highlight the situation. Hopefully, this will be acted upon and passed on to their future guests. Thank you for your kind words regards the apartment. Owner Property Owner

“Just back from a lovely week in the Lakes, I think we lucked out with the weather and the apartment.”

Highlights, sitting out on the patio for breakfast and the balcony, with gins in hand, for sundown. Great location with easy access to Windermere and some of our favorite walks. The welcome pack was a very ‘welcome’ surprise

“Lovely comfortable place with all the amenities you could need for a week.”

Very clean, comfortable beds and sofas, and a well equipped kitchen. Wonderful to watch the steam train go past in the distance. Close to Windermere. Unfortunately noise from adjacent properties travels quite easily and one of the two bedrooms became very noisy early in the morning, making it difficult for us to get enough sleep. We suspect this to be because of where the waste pipes are situated in the property, making it very noisy when bathrooms were used in other properties. Additionally, no option was offered for us to move properties despite this major issue. If this issue was resolved we would be back; otherwise we unfortunately cannot recommend a stay here. Despite this everything else was spot on.

- Emma, May 2023

UPDATE. The builders have now been in and carried out a number of jobs to address the points you raised. I believe and hope this will reassure you, such that we can welcome you back sometime soon. . Thanks for the kind words about the apartment in general. We take your feedback very seriously and whilst none of our other guests have raised this issue we would like everyone to enjoy their stay as much as possible. We’ll be exploring ways to address the issue you’ve highlighted straight away and hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

“I stayed with a couple of friends for a long weekend and what a lovely time we had.”

The house is modern, clean & spacious, we had everything we needed to cook meals with ease. It Was so nice to relax outside in the sunshine with a beer in the outdoor space. Great location too, nice pubs, cafes & a brewery with a great walk not too far away. You can easily get out to Windermere & other tourist attractions too. Would highly recommend!

“We stayed here with friends and it was wonderful!”

Really spacious and modern house in the Lakes. The house has lots of space for eating and entertaining. In an amazing location not too far from the Windermere to get the authentic lakes experience. Highly recommend!

When you enter your new home, you'll be impressed by the fully-stocked kitchen, which is perfect for whipping up delicious meals for your family to enjoy at the dining table for four.

If the weather starts to cool off, find a warm sitting space with a Smart TV so you and your loved ones may enjoy a movie night while you recline on the plush sofas. Choose from a king-size with en-suite shower room and a double with a fabulous balcony to catch some shut-eye in before waking up to begin your exciting itinerary.

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.
