Thank you for your kind and positive review. We are very proud of our holiday home and get much pleasure in knowing our guests are happy and comfortable. We’re fortunate to have Brimstone in such a lovely location, so much to see and do around Windermere and the South Lakes area at all times of the year. I hope we can welcome you on a future occasion. Best wishes - Jane Property Owner

“During August we had a 4 day break at Brimstone and had a thoroughly nice time.”

The 2 storey apartment is well furnished and extremely comfortable, and ideally situated adjacent to the River Leven and walking distance to the Haverthwaite Steam Railway terminus, the Lakeland Motor Museum, The Anglers Arms, and The Whitewater Hotel with local walks in abundance. Much more is obtainable if you take the car (or train). The high spec and well decorated apartment is well laid out, and with 2 double bedrooms and a shower room on the top floor and the main double bedroom and bathroom on the floor below the premises will easily accommodate a larger family or a multi occupancy. We had a few minor issues whilst staying but on contacting the owners these were resolved most promptly and efficiently and with consideration to ensure that our holiday was not impacted upon. On our journey to the property at the start of the holiday we encountered severe traffic congestion on the motorway and, to our surprise, we were contacted by the owners en route with advice as to how best to minimise the disruption. What a nice touch. Our time at Brimstone provided a complete rest for us and the gurgle of river below only added to the ambience of the peaceful setting. We will be back at some time for a longer stay. Our thanks to the owners. Roger Nicola & Matthew

The small village of Backbarrow sits by the banks of the River Leven and the southern tip of Lake Windermere.

Ulverston, Grange Over Sands and the quaint Cartmel village host a variety of independent shops steeped in history.

Bowness-on-Windermere provides a lovely day out, with shopping, swans and boat rides.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead retains the charm that endeared its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

Enjoy magnificent views across Windermere and the surrounding fells and visit the iconic pubs and restaurants the area is known for.

Set amidst the fringe of Lake Windermere, this attractive location makes an inspiring choice to forage into a heartland of silver lakes, towering peaks and lonely gorse-clad moors.
