  • "We had a great stay here the accommodation is amazing and perfect if you want to be close to many of the places in the lakes but have the benefit of somewhere peaceful and quiet … the bothy is well equipped with all the mod cons to make the stay even better while still feel traditional and homely … perfect for our anxious dog to be in a quiet spot ."

    . hosts were great kept in touch prior to stay and were just a text away if we needed anything .. would highly recommend to anyone to stay here.. will certainly be booking again

  • "First class property extremely clean and comfortable."

    The location is excellent and we enjoyed our stay. One small thing is that the TV does not seem to receive live channels and the TV to WiFi link can be tricky. All this is made up for with a Netflix subscription and apps like BBC iplayer and ITVX. We had a great stay, and Trish was always available for any issues. The step down from the bedrooms to the living room could do with a highlighted strip as it is sometimes difficult to see. Thank you Trish Terry & Jane

  • "Absolutely perfect cottage which has been beautifully designed and furnished to make it a real home from home, the attention detail and space and outstanding."

    This is without doubt the nicest place we have had the pleasure to stay in in the Lakes, and we've been coming a long time. Tash was extremely helpful and communicative and our dogs were also made to feel very welcome too with little treats, water bowl and blankets. The cottage is set in a peaceful and beautiful location with access to Windermere and many lovely walks just on the doorstep..We will be back!

  • "We had a great stay in the bothy, slept like logs in the peace and quiet."

    You definitely need to state there is a large step up inside the cottage, although you dealt with the problem immediately and I managed (thankyou) I would not have booked for myself if I had spotted the step . Also just a thought maybe install a microwave for convenience. Otherwise a lovely peaceful stay and enjoyed visiting the various lakes. Thankyou for the food hamper.. sticky toffee pudding ....yummy.

    Hi Rosemary, Thank you for your feedback; I’m so glad that you had a great stay at The Bothy and that you slept so well. I am sorry about the step, we do always reach out to guests by email and text ahead of their stays to ask if there are any special requirements to try and avoid situations such as this. I’m glad that we managed to get this resolved for you straight away so it didn’t impact your stay. Thank you for the note on the microwave as well, we’re now looking into adding this to the kitchen set-up! Thanks again, Tash Property Owner

  • "Lovely modern, cosy and comfortable holiday cottage - with a warm welcome from the owner - who was on hand to help with any queries."

    Nothing was too much trouble. Well placed for exploring the Lake District. Well equipped.. but a couple of suggestions would be to add a microwave in the kitchen (for those looking for quick and easy meals on holiday) and an ironing board to go with the iron.

    Thank you so much for your lovely words and I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at The Bothy! Great tip on the microwave; thank you and we'll be sure to add one into the kitchen shortly. There is an ironing board (hidden away) in the boiler cupboard but I've made a note to make this clearer in the welcome pack. Thank you for looking after the property during your stay and we'd be delighted to welcome you back to The Bothy again. Property Owner

  • "We had a really lovely stay at the Bothy."

    Location was amazing, brilliant access to Windermere and the rest of the lakes. The cottage was so cosy and warm with underfloor heating and a log burner, also having the second bathroom was a nice surprise. Little touches thoughtfully provided such as coffee pods, shampoo, conditioner, etc. as well as a welcome basket really made the difference. Will definitely be returning and recommending far and wide.

    Thank you so much for such a lovely review, Mollie and I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at The Bothy, we'd be delighted to welcome you back anytime! Property Owner

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.
