Overview
Property code: OC-LD168

Dawn Cottage is a pretty semi-detached house located in the beautiful and historic village of Backbarrow. 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. Dawn Cottage is also perfect for exploring Grizedale forest, with its treetop adventure course and woodland paths and trails. Cartmel racecourse is ideal for a day relaxing and enjoying the flat races, a great idea for a fun day out.

Great property that we booked very last minute. Lovely welcome pack and lots of store cupboard provisions - Salt, pepper, flour, oil etc. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely back garden to sit out in. Overall a comfortable property near but not on the main road that leads to Ulverston. Would recommend the Anglers Arms pub for good food. Will certainlyRead more stay here again if we head to this part of the world Hide

We enjoyed a lovely stay here with our 2 dogs. The cottage has everything you need and the weather was good so we were able to enjoy sitting in the garden on an evening.

Cosy, comfortable cottage, near to Haverthwaite Railway, Lake Windermere & Grizedale Forest which make good days out. The local village has an interesting history if you take a walk to the river.

Located just off the main road, is good for getting to Windermere and onto other lakes. Road noise a little annoying. Cottage is well kept and great for a couple or small family. Enclosed back garden great for a dog. Easy walk to two pubs both doing great food. Would stay again.
