Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Backbarrow

This house was absolutely perfect for our stay - a warm, cosy house with an excellent stock of DVDs and games to keep us entertained, and we were spoilt for choice in terms of nearby pubs and restaurants. Communication was prompt and friendly - we really can’t recommend this property enough.

I can’t recommend Will and Giles’ place enough. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. The information sent prior to arrival was brilliant, the cottage was much bigger than we expected and it’s in an amazing location right by Coniston. The place was spotless and had some lovely touches. We will be back!

An amazing place to stay and the village is really nice. It’s not far away from things to do such as Scafell Pike, and the lakes. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to be in the countryside.

A well loved and super clean cottage in a surprisingly quiet part of Arnside. The garden is a little gem after a long day out in good weather. Thoroughly recommend and friends say I’m pretty fussy.

Perfect location. 10/10. I did not want to leave. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, unbelievable views, superb location, easy access to logs for fire with which my husband was delighted. 100% would return... tomorrow if it was possible! Our dog (border terrier) had a fantastic time too and was very interested in the wee hedgehog who appeared to be living in the bushes outside and the free range chickens!! There was also a free range doggo popping round to the garden in the evening. Vigilance/ Lead/ supervision was a must for our super inquisitive pup.

What a fantastic property and garden in such a quiet, lovely neighbourhood yet only 5 minutes’ walk to Bowness on Windermere shops and eating places, a few minutes further walk takes you to the lake and ferry terminal. The property was warm and homely, yet everything was pristine, all the rooms were immaculate, the kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, with plenty of utensils and cooking equipment, spotlessly clean. The ensuite bedrooms were beautiful as were the bathrooms. It has a huge driveway and great enclosed back garden with firepit and Weber BBQ, lots of seating, pity we were not able to take advantage of this due to the weather. The garden was very safe and enclosed for our dogs. We were able to adjust the heating temperature to suit, we really appreciated. Otto was fantastic and responded immediately to any queries before and during our holiday, as well as being pro-active from booking and throughout our week’s holiday. Thanks to the housekeeper who is doing a wonderful job.

Stayed here as I was running an Ultra (the Lap) in the area with a start point not far away so this was an ideal location. What made this stay amazing was the property itself and Louise’s communication which was spot on, very friendly and welcoming. I felt at home when I didn’t need any distractions other than the event I was focussed on and this was 100% possible here. I even met some of the neighbours who were really lovely and helpful too. 100% recommend staying here ❤️

what a lovely little town house. was right in the centre of Ulverston. can't fault it defo worth it.

We had a fantastic long weekend in the lodge. Absolutely stunning landscape and the lodge was beautiful. It had everything we needed and more! Thank you so much for a fantastic stay.

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

Loved our stay

Alison went above and beyond for us during our stay and put a baby gate up upstairs for us prior to pur arrival. They also put the mattress on the floor for us as at that time of booking, we didnt have a barrier for the sides of the bed so asked if we could have it on the floor instead. Alison also was responsive when we said we broke two crockery items and was understanding about this. The property was a beautiful cottage in lovely scenery and was close to lots of places to visit

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

One of our favourite ever Airbnb’s! Just the perfect peaceful spot in the quintessential English countryside. The place was brilliantly kitted with so many smaller things you end up needing without realizing it. The full length mirror is always appreciated. Fantastic large smart TV with easy login to any streaming service. The “Herdy” theme for the kitchen was really a nice touch. Great big fridge and freezer. Super comfy bed. Nice big couch to relax after a long day of exploring. Alun was a fantastic host. We will definitely be back!

Lovely caravan sited on a well kept location. We are an older couple who only stayed one night to break up a journey, but would thoroughly recommend this space especially if you have a young family. Spotlessly clean and stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay, it makes for a very enjoyable holiday. Many thanks to the hosts!

Karen was very helpful and her instructions were clear. It was beautiful, quiet and undisturbed setting was a peaceful escape.

Lovely stay in Janet’s cosy cottage. We loved the comfortable bedrooms, cute garden, wood fired pizza oven and the lovely park nearby. Janet was really responsive and helpful. Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely space Janet!

We went for a peaceful break of every day life. Took our dogs and our bikes.. Absolutely perfect, felt so cosey at night, lots of walks around us. My hubby enjoyed the walk out the back thru the wood to the church. Great roads for cycling on. Clear instructions on how to use appliances in the cottage. Would of preferred a later checkout but, had to drag myself out the cosey bed instead. Never had to contact luke while we were there but, he was quick and responsive whilst booking. Will definitely be back. Thanks luke 😊

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage for 2 plus dog. Close to all village restaurants and pubs. Private off road parking which is very welcome. Cottage has everything you might need , good wi fi, Samsung smart tv, fully fitted kitchen. Bed is super comfortable and lots of places to walk your dog nearby. Definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

We enjoyed a fantastic couple of days stay at Scott’s place which is perfectly placed in the middle of the beautiful village square in Cartmel so that everything is within easy walking distance. The apartment was immaculate and we (and Freddie the dog) loved it - it had everything needed and some lovely touches like dog treats, biscuits etc and tea/coffee and Scott even asked for milk preference and provided oat milk for us! Scott’s instructions and communication were excellent and parking etc was well explained. Overall a fantastic stay with a great host and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and stay again

Had a lovely stay after our wedding in Croatia, we were welcomed with champagne, chocolates and a card which was such a lovely surprise 😀 and balloons and a congratulations sign, it was so peaceful and my husband enjoyed some fishing, just what we needed, thank you Ben and Charlotte 🥰

excellent little lodge with beautiful views which exceed the photos on the site. v responsive owner. lovely tea coffee and gin and tonic provided! beautiful Lebanese breakfast provided for us which was of high quality and a welcome variable to usual breakfast provided in hotels ,bnb s. would book again.

Amazing few days away! Easy check in via lockbox, into a lovely, clean place, in a nice quiet location. Our host was very communicative, and helpful leading up to and throughout our stay - especially when suggesting local walks etc. The kids loved it too! Will be going back 😊.
