The property has been tastefully furnished to provide a holiday cottage of charm and character and has the benefit of a private, enclosed rear paved area and small front garden. Its location within the village ensures shops and restaurants are only a short drive away. Why not treat yourself to a day out or a luxury Michelin 3-starred meal in Cartmel, only a few minutes drive away.
The pretty village of Backbarrow is ideal for exploring the lakes, only a few minutes drive from the famous village of Cartmel with the Michelin starred restaurant l'Enclume, to the nearby fashionable town of Grange-over-Sands which has some great tearooms and shops to explore. Head a little further to Bowness-on Windermere where you can hire a boat and explore the lake at your own pace; or enjoy the Windermere steamer, World of Beatrix Potter attraction or the aquarium.
