This charming village is also well known for its superb restaurants and pubs and of course, the ancient Priory. A drive up the pretty Rusland Valley will take you to the quaint village of Hawkshead and to Hill Top, where Beatrix Potter lived and was inspired to write many of her charming tales.

The small village of Newby Bridge takes its name from the five arched stone bridge built in 1651 over the River Leven. Lake Windermere is within reach, along with the Aquarium of the Lakes, the picturesque village of Hawkshead and Hill Top, the home of Beatrix Potter.

The only thing tjat was dissappointing was tje shower which wasn't very hot more like warm even though we boosted the hot water gauge. The other thing was the hot water from the kitchen sink which didn't come out of the tap very well it just ki d of dripped. I did get in touch with the landlord Ian who was very helpful but I think it was due to the pressure in the area as the cottage is remote. Loved the hot tub after long walks! The log fire was a bonus too!
