    “We had a brilliant stay at Town End, and found it nicely homely, tastefully decorated, and well equipped.”

    Immaculately clean, too. The kitchen was especially well equipped and organised, which is always nice to walk into for self catering. The lounge and dining room were plenty big enough for our three generation group, and comfy. We used three of the four bedrooms; the one we didn't need is a twin that sits close to the top of the stairs, with a step down itself, so more for older children up.

    Immaculately clean, too. The kitchen was especially well equipped and organised, which is always nice to walk into for self catering. The lounge and dining room were plenty big enough for our three generation group, and comfy. We used three of the four bedrooms; the one we didn't need is a twin that sits close to the top of the stairs, with a step down itself, so more for older children up. A stair gate would be a comfort, but because the other bedrooms are set back away from the staircase we actually found it okay for our young child. The garden patio is a bit up and down with various steps so needed a careful eye on my little one as well but it was a lovely place to sit out in the sun after a day out, very peaceful and not overlooked. We didn't use the wood burner, but I think it would be lovely and cosy in cooler weather. We used it as a base for exploring the local area and the route around Lake Windermere is easily accessed, plus various very local attractions that were only a short trip away. As we left, we crossed the railway bridge and then drove alongside the steam train.

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.
