Charming South Lakes Location Near Newby Bridge

Located just minutes from the historic market town of Ulverston and the tranquil shores of Newby Bridge, this beautiful former railway cottage offers a luxurious, relaxing gateway to the South Lake District. Watch the heritage locomotives of the famous Lakeside & Haverthwaite Steam Railway pass by, or head around the corner to the southern tip of Lake Windermere. From here, hire a motorboat or board an iconic Windermere Steamer up to Bowness-on-Windermere (8 miles) to explore its vibrant mix of shops, bars, and lakeside restaurants. The quintessential Lakeland village of Hawkshead is also just 9 miles away, featuring cobbled courtyards, local pubs, and historic literary connections.

Cosy & Stylish Living Spaces

Blending original heritage charm with modern self-catering convenience, the interior is thoughtfully styled for family getaways:

  • Warm Lounge: Settle into two plush two-seater sofas centered around a Smart TV—the ideal setup for family movie nights after a day on the fells.

  • Kitchen & Dining: A tastefully finished kitchen featuring an electric oven, hob, and a rustic pine dining table for shared family meals.

  • Dedicated Utility Area: Outfitted with a microwave, washing machine, and fridge/freezer to keep your stay smooth and hassle-free.

  • Family Bathroom: A clean, modern bathroom complete with a shower-over-bath and WC.

    • Front Patio & Steam Railway Views

    Step out to the front of the cottage onto a lovely stone patio equipped with outdoor seating—the ultimate viewpoint for watching historic steam trains puff past against the backdrop of rolling Cumbrian fells.
