Cosy cottage, with wood burner, only stone’s throw away from Lake Windermere with amazing views from the balcony over the water, the perfect getaway location.

This enchanting stone-walled cottage is tucked away among the trees to offer the most peaceful bolthole for families or groups looking to explore the Lake District with their canine companion. With the famous Lake Windemere less than half a mile away, guests and their dog are spoiled for dramatic walking trails and stunning scenery all around.

Guests are greeted by an open plan kitchen, lounge and dining space that sets the scene for a wonderful time spent together. The lounge’s wood burner means you’ll stay warm and cosy during your stay, while the well-equipped kitchen has all you need to cook up your favourite meals. Sit around the oak dining table to enjoy your food before retiring to the comfortable seating of the lounge, complete with a Smart TV. The two bedrooms upstairs look onto the greenery that surrounds the property, really setting the tone for a Lake District getaway. The spacious master bedroom upstairs features its own balcony with stunning views of Lake Windermere, plus a comfortable double bed and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom offers a double bed that can be made into a twin on request and boasts a charming balcony and its own en-suite shower room. Outside, guests can make use of the beautiful, shared gardens with its overhanging trees and fresh Lake District air.

Guests and their furry friend have a wide choice of walking trails and outdoor activities on their doorstep. Amble down to the banks of Lake Windermere just half a mile away or visit the lesser-known lake of Esthwaite Water two miles away. Embrace a view of both lakes from a vantage point at Claife Heights (two miles) or jump in the car and drive to the base of the Old Man of Coniston ten miles away. If that isn’t enough, Grizedale Forest is seven miles away and offers acres of forest trails that any energetic pooch will adore.

Booked Waterbarrow House and the Barn - one allows dogs, the other doesnt. Perfect for a party where one family had a dog and one has allergies to dogs! Both cottages are lovely, in a lovely location away from the hubbub of Windermere but just a short walk to the lake itself. Each cottage is well appointed though looking a little tired. Outdoor spaRead morece is nice but tables and balconies could do with some attention. Would come back to these cottages but would bring a wok and sharper knives! Hide

Lovely cosy barn cottage part of a bigger property. Stayed for 5 nights at Christmas. Had a few concerns before we got there but did not need to worry. We had a great time and it's in a quiet area which were looking for. Having said that we found it an ideal base to venture out, so best of both worlds. In summer would be ideal for a 25 minute walk Read moreto the nearest pub. Loads of hot water good equipment comfy beds, log fire, two bathrooms. Would definitley recommend. Hide

The cottage was quite dark and didnt get much sun-light. It was very well-equipped other than very few side plates and saucepans Also be prepared to buy logs and sticks for the wood burner. No extra toiletries or tissues, just tiny soaps but good supply of loo rolls! There were no suggestions for good walks locally or where to find the nearest shopRead more and how far to the pub, which you need to book! Hide

Interior layout very good and spacious but in need of a good clean. Welcome pack excellent. Exterior sitting areas extremely grubby & neglected. Looks better on website than in reality. This property is overpriced and does not live up to its' rating. Not impressed!

Amazing location. Could hear a pin drop. Great for walks from the door as well. Our bed was terrible. Felt like it was going to give way and woke us each time one of us moved. Property needed a better clean. Floor in lounge (tiled) hadnt been moped and various tea stains were cleaned up by us. Kitchen was clean and of acceptable standard.

The location is great. The house looks a bit unloved. The outside space is shabby and the kitchen equipment is a bit lacking - only 2 saucepans one huge and one tiny. The freezer was very icy and mostly unusable. Its not the best of all the Sallys cottages we have stayed at but we had a great time.

Lovely barn in a beautiful location. Barn stayed cool despite 31c temperature. Short walk to Windermere shore. Beautiful walk to National Trust Hilltop. Short distance to car ferry over to Bowness. Please note there is no house sign up, but the property is behind the large attached house called Water Barrow. Parking is on the gravel drive.

We had a fantastic time staying at the Barn at Waterbarrow. The whole place is really lovely with good quality furnishings and plenty of space. The gardens are very nice and there is plenty of space on the drive for several cars. The location is quite remote, but this is what we wanted.

Location of Waterbarrow Barn is perfect for those wanting a quieter break. 20 mins walk to nearest pub, excellent food and service, 20 mins to Bowness ferry, 5 mins to the Lake with stunning walks. Gardens are steep, lots of paths but limited views. Cottage, spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated with comfortable furniture. Feels dark downstaiRead morers and outside space needs updating, cleaning and furniture is rusty, so barely useable. Just changed hands so hopefully these will be improved. Hide
