Cottage holiday rentals in Backbarrow

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

absolute amazing, everyone was gutted to be leaving even the dog, what a stunning house and it's settings, can't wait to be booking to come back.

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

Wonderful 5-night stay at Chestnut Cottage after Rob completed the Great Glen Way & West Highland Way in 6 days! @freemanwalking on YouTube 😀 The hot tub was a real treat for soothing sore muscles. Stunning bay views made the cottage the perfect place to relax. The bed was super comfy, and we loved the little extra touches like the soft robes and complimentary tea, coffee, and milk. Just a short, scenic walk along the promenade to the village for supplies. The weather wasn’t the best, but the cosy cottage more than made up for it. Highly recommend! Thank you Gemma

It was brilliant from start to finish host were fab always attentive and on call location was good as only round the corner there was loads of pubs and food places and only 25 mins to Blackpool really fab and would recommend to everyone

We had a great family stay at Fell Cottage to celebrate my 65th. Lynn was a very proactive communicator and always quick to respond to any messages left for her. The cottage is exactly as stated in the descriptions and photos and spotlessly clean on arrival. The house manual had lots of great recommendations for walks and places to eat. The cottage has great access to Coniston Water and to the Old Man. Unfortunately the weather didn't play ball with us, but it didn't spoil our stay. Fell Cottage gets a whole hearted recommendation from us.

We were looking g for a place not within the main tourist areas of the Lake District and this place was the perfect match. You will need to have a car to get there but it is lovely and peaceful. Toiletries are not provided. The kitchen is well equipped but aside from salt and pepper, you would need to bring anything else you may need. However, these are small points. The key is that the place is super comfortable and cosy and we had a wonderful albeit short time there. Thank you!

The cottage is absolutely lovely! Just be aware the access is through a narrow arch, we got through in a big car but it was a squeeze. The cottage is so comfortable and clean too. The kitchen is fully equipped and the cottage has everything you could need! Gaz was really responsive and it was easy to get into the cottage. Loads to do in Kendal and food and drinks minutes away!

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful cottage - comfortable, cosy and equipped with everything you’ll need for a great stay. Lots of lovely original features - especially the wonderful bath and shower! Beautiful bedrooms with comfortable beds and beautiful views. Peaceful location and conveniently located. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for your stay in the Lakes!

We had an amazing 2-night stay at Jane’s place. The house is absolutely beautiful and set in breathtaking surroundings—the photos really don’t do it justice, as the real thing is far more exquisite. The decor is warm and homely, yet spacious enough to comfortably fit the five of us. Both bathrooms were spotless—one with a shower and the other with a bathtub, which gave us the flexibility to choose. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including ample fridge space. The garden is also worth mentioning—gorgeous and clearly very well cared for. We especially loved the fireplace; it truly felt like the cherry on top of an already perfect stay. The house manual was detailed and extremely helpful, covering everything we needed to know. Jane was a wonderful host—so warm and thoughtful. She welcomed us with a lovely letter and some delicious biscuits, which made us feel right at home from the start. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay very close to everything in town and the house was very well equiped, we felt completely at home. Pauline was always available for any problems you might have and even checked during our stay just to make sure all was well. Would recomend to anyone and would stay there again .

The cottage was stunning and in a beautiful setting, ideally located for getting to and around the lake. Highly recommend for a family get away for beautiful scenery and tranquility.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Great to have a view of Coniston Lake. Cottage was extremely comfortable and homely & had everything needed for our stay. Martin’s instructions to find and access the cottage were very comprehensive which really helped. Martin also provided lots of information on places to eat and visit and responded well to any issues. Coniston is an ideal location to access the Lakes and would recommend the area and Martin’s cottage to others. Would love to return one day.

Just loved this cottage, its in a great location, no need to go out in your car as there is plently to do nearby. The cottage is very clean and nicely done out. It is well equipped, with a nice little hamper box on arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Five stars from us.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at your beautiful cottage. It’s got a lovely cottage feel with all the modern amenities. All the added touches added to its lovely charm. We wish we could have stayed longer as such a perfect location to explore the Lake District

Beautiful accommodation, spotlessly clean, lovely welcome basket with treats such a great welcome. Lucy and family very welcoming, showed us around and ensured we knew how everything worked. Lots of tourist leaflets and guides. Central to all local lakes, Hilltop etc stunning scenery on the doorstep. Loved our stay

We recently stayed at the cottage for a wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Tom was a fantastic responsive host and very accommodating for early check in which was a huge help. The cottage is beautiful, well equipped, clean & perfect for a weekend or weeks stay for a large group! We hope to return again soon - thank you!

Myself and my dogs had the nicest stay at Lynn’s place and we were so sad to leave. The place was amazing, clean, tidy and had everything we needed even extra throws for the dogs. There was also some lovely local goodies and eggs left too. Lynn gave me lots of info about places to visit in the area and was extremely responsive to any questions I had. I’d been supposed to be staying with a friend who couldn’t make it in the end and I was worried as I’d booked an activity I couldn’t take my dogs too but Lynn went above and beyond and found a safe space for them to chill whilst I went and was around to keep an eye on them for me. There are lots of gorgeous sheep, goats, chickens and ducks at the smallholding who were all so friendly and Lynn left food for me to feed them whenever I wanted which was lovely. I felt so at home there, didn’t want to leave and had the loveliest break. I cannot wait to book another trip there so I can go back and would highly recommend Lynn’s place to anyone.

Absolutely perfect accommodation for our little trip to Kendal! Easy walking distance into town! The cottage was beautifully presented and the host even left us a little basket of goodies which was a lovely touch! Would 100% stay again

We absolutely 💯 loved our short stay at Nursery end cottage. It was perfect. Warm, comfortable & cosy. It had everything you could think of. We were welcomed with a lovely welcome pack & thankyou card. The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful area surrounded by sheep and hills. We chose to stay here as it wasn't far from Scafell pike. I would recommend to anyone to stay in this cottage and would definitely book it again. It's just beautiful. We only wish we could of stayed longer.
