Is Newstead Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Kids have easy access to Lake Windermere for steamer rides and boat trips. The World of Beatrix Potter attraction is less than a mile away. Each child gets their own TV in the bedroom. The enclosed rear courtyard and front garden provide safe outdoor space. Windermere village has shops and cafés within walking distance. The Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway makes a great day out for families.

For Couples

While Newstead sleeps 12 guests, couples booking the entire property would have excessive space and facilities. The six en-suite bedrooms are designed for group accommodation rather than intimate getaways. The large dining table and spacious living areas suit family gatherings. Couples would be better suited to smaller Lake District properties designed for two guests.

Pet Friendly

Newstead does not allow pets. The property maintains a strict no pets policy for all guests. If you're travelling with dogs, you'll need to find alternative Lake District accommodation that welcomes animals. Many other properties in Windermere and Bowness do accept pets, so check those options if bringing your dog is essential for your holiday.
