Holiday rentals with lake access in Barrow-in-Furness District

Had a great time staying here with some friends for a long weekend in the Lake District. Really unique house, and easy access to great hikes.

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!

Such a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place. Truly a home away from home. Such a beautiful house, with stunning decor, very well equipped kitchen, perfect sun trap garden area and very clean throughout. Elizabeth was an exemplar host with such detailed recommendations and really lovely welcoming gifts. The location of the house is absolutely perfect. Would recommended in a heartbeat. We’ll definitely be back!

We have had a lovely stay at the boathouse which was just amazing! The boat house its self is beautiful, clean and comfortable with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! It is very well equipt, plenty of towels, blankets and even robes. We loved the hot tub with views over the lake. The location of the boathouse was just perfect for us and the views were stunning! We took our own paddle boards and was so happy to be able to launch straight from the jetty to explore the lake. My daughter also loved feeding the ducks from the jetty. We have had a busy few days on local bike trails, hikes, paddle boarding, boating and having some lovely meals out in beautiful Bowness, but always looked forward to returning to the boathouse! We will definitely be returning! Thank you

parking for 2 cars was perfect. location was great and so quiet and yet in the centre of everything.

Immaculate house in a really good location. Crown Inn was right on the doorstep and the food was excellent there. We could walk to coniston lake and do a lot of activities there and great walks nearby. One bathroom is just off the kitchen and the other on the second floor so we were a little surprised by that but only coz we looked at the photos more than read the description! It still worked just fine, we were 2 families of 3.

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 ❤️

Fantastic location and amazing g views from the garden. House was all very clean and well laid out. Great place to stay if you want to explore the lakes. Thanks Stephen

We had a really great stay with our young baby. The apartment was really spacious and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for walking to Bowness. We would love to stay again.

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

Everything was good. Close to everywhere. Free car Park. 2 bathroom, 2 bedrooms. Perfect 100% dark blinds on the windows, so you can sleep even during the Day.

Only stayed one night before a wedding we were going to the next day but was perfect for us. Ray even accommodated us with the check out time which we were extremely grateful for. If we need to stay in the area again we’d try booking here again. 🙂

Quiet but perfect local for me. Everything was as described, really enjoyed the stay

Scafell View had everything we needed. There was onsite private parking so guaranteed an easy space opposite the property and the apartment is a good size with everything you need. There were 3 of us staying and it great base from which to explore the local area and the views are amazing, especially the night sky! Sharon provided clear instructions on how to find the property with some suggestions and helpful info in the apartment. The only thing I'd ask for would be a few more adult board games for the evenings.

Beautiful apartment Helen’s instructions were really clear & check in was seamless. Didn’t really get to appreciate the surrounding area except for the stunning views. This was a brief visit as our son was competing in the Lakes Ultramarathon. We were very grateful for the welcome hamper this allowed him to refuel post race. We will definitely be back ❤️

Great little stay walking distance from the train station. Lovely, quiet home was everything we needed!

Western Lakes are delightful. Loved being here. Some truly spectacular local walks and the coast was a definite bonus, as was the weather which was 20+ and sunny the whole week. Super cosy cottage in great location!

We absolutely loved our stay on the farm. The location is easy to find and is beautiful, within a five minute walk to the shores of the lake. Jonathon was responsible, friendly and informative with his communication prior to arrival. The loft itself is absolutely beautiful inside and out and the photos don't do it justice. It's clean, spacious (2 of us) and has stunning views looking over the lake and the Old Man. There is a cafe on site and although we didn't have time to try any food, it looked lovely. We will definitely be revisiting this beautiful part of the lakes again and highly recommend the site. Our only criticism was the mattress, which wasn't to our taste and felt a little old.

Anya’s house was very comfortable and we felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The instructions provided were easy to follow. Each room had heating which was needed as one night was quite cold. It was great to have a washing machine. The location was within driving to restaurants and pubs and there was plenty of pamphlets of things to do and see in the area. The tiny snug was very cute and cosy. Highly recommended

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.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage on Wastwater. The setting is stunning — right on the lake and surrounded by beautiful walking routes, perfect for exploring with our 18-month-old and dog. The cottage is tucked away on a peaceful farm with a great outdoor seating area to enjoy the views. It’s quite remote, with the nearest proper shop about 30 minutes away, but the nearby campsite shop (just half a mile down the road) had the essentials we needed. Other than that, everything was perfect. A truly relaxing break in a beautiful location — we’d definitely recommend it!

What a joy it was to stay in this gorgeous cottage! It was the perfect escape in the Lake District. The property is stunning and the location wonderful. The grounds are so serene and beautiful you almost don’t need to ever leave! The cottage is lovely and quaint and very comfortable. We loved having a log fire at night and the beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed using the hot tub and sauna—felt like a private spa getaway! Marc and Ruth were so responsive and helpful. It was so nice. Hope to definitely come back someday with my family!

Where to start. If you're looking at staying in Ambleside then look no further. Couldn't really ask for more, everything you need is right at your doorstep, yet just set back out of the centre that it's peaceful. The old wash house really has everything you would want. The courtyard outside is the perfect place to have your morning coffee or evening drink, with beautiful views and morning and evening sun. A charming little place where i am sure I will Stay again in the future.

My friends and I shared a memorable hiking experience in Ambleside. Jacqui’s Clare Cottage and consummate professionalism as a host made our trip all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
