Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Newby Bridge

Nestled on the southern banks of Lake Windermere, this lovely hamlet takes its name from an ancient stone bridge across the River Leven. With its peaceful setting and close proximity to the beautifully unspoiled countryside, Newby Bridge holiday cottages are an excellent choice for a self-catering holiday in the Lake District. Unlike many of the region’s villages, Newby Bridge remains quiet and is missed by most visitors. There are no shops or restaurants, making it the perfect location in which to unwind to the sound of birdsong in the hedgerows. The glittering waters, ancient woodland and misty mountains of southern Lakeland and the Furness Peninsula are a stone’s throw away. Whether you want to spend your time hiking, sailing, wildlife-watching or visiting ancient stone-built villages and market towns, a more enchanting base would be hard to find.
