  • "Very good pool for all ages, house is showing wear and tear, lots of little niggles like shower head in Manchester is held up by a piece of string and only points to the wall, SERIOUS PROBLEM in kitchen, the extractor hood above the hob is fitted at forehead height, every one of us banged their head or eye during the first few days, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, the cleaner knew it was a problem, if someone gets eye damage you are in for a big lawsuit, also there is a loose stone step at the front door, my son took a tumble, an older person could have been seriously hurt, fractured hip or arm, I did report this to your agent."

    You must get these things fixed, I expected a higher standard for £4000.00

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.
