The property was as expected and represented in the pictures, i.e. it probably would benefit from some modernisation as it is getting a little tired. But we saw this from the photos and the price was set accordingly. We know the location of Backbarrow, so we expected the road noise that others have complained about. It wasn't that bad, but if you are a light sleeper take earplugs if you sleep with the windows open! There are walks from the door and lots to do in the area. Not your quintessential Lakeland cottage but a fantastic option for a family on a budget wanting to explore the Lakes and within easy access to the motorway network.
