About The Area:

There are an abundance of pubs and walks in the immediate area including the award winning, Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank which is less than 400m away & The Hare & Hounds is less than 150m away. This really is a dream for couples looking for a unforgettable holiday.

For those who like to eat out there are many first-class pub/restaurant's within easy access including the Gilpin Spice which featured on the "Great British Menu" TV programme, Simon Rogan's Iconic restaurant L'Enclume. The Award Winning, Punch Bowl at Crosswaite & the traditional Black Labrador at Underbarrow.

Nearby Bowness on Windermere is convenient for local amenities and access to the fantastic cruising grounds of Lake Windermere as well as the surrounding National Park by foot or car. Situated on the eastern shores of Lake Windermere, Bowness is a sophisticated Lakeland village with a wealth to explore and enjoy.

From the lake shore in Bowness you can hire a rowing boat or power boat, or take an elegant cruise on one of the Lake Windermere steamers. Windermere Lake Cruises depart regularly to Ambleside and Lakeside; a wonderful way to explore without even using your car.

Another great idea is to take the car-ferry crossing (or pedestrian crossing) over Lake Windermere from Bowness, to visit the former home of Beatrix Potter in Near Sawrey, and the picturesque village of Hawkshead.

In addition, just a short distance away are both Ambleside and Grasmere, where you can explore the homes of famous Lake District poet, William Wordsworth.

There really is so much to do and see right from the doorstep complimenting your stay at River Barn. This is a place where memories are made.
