About Post Lady Cottage

Post Lady Cottage is a 5-star luxury holiday home in Backbarrow, Lake District. This beautifully renovated cottage offers a perfect mix of traditional charm and modern comforts. Just minutes from Windermere and surrounded by stunning Cumbrian landscapes, it's the ideal base for your Lake District adventure.

The Lake District location puts you right in the heart of England's most spectacular national park. Everything's on your doorstep - from the Lakeland Motor Museum (0.5 miles away) to the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway (1.5 miles). After a day exploring those hills (which look suspiciously like they've had work done), relax in your private hot tub with a favourite drink..

The cottage sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms - a king-size master with original fireplace and a twin room (which can become a king on request). The light, airy lounge features a cosy wood burner, while the fully-equipped kitchen has everything from an electric oven to a Dolce Gusto coffee machine. Bi-fold doors in the dining room open onto the stunning multi-level garden.

Visit Windermere (2.5 miles), Lakes Aquarium (3.5 miles), the Laurel and Hardy Museum (7.5 miles), or South Lakes Safari Zoo (10.5 miles). Fancy a walk? Gummer's How offers spectacular views across the lake.

Post Lady Cottage consistently receives 5-star reviews for its spotless cleanliness and thoughtful touches. The hot tub is the perfect place to soak away your hiking aches. Who needs a spa break when you've got all this?
