There are 6 places in Backbarrow, and they come in two main sizes. Two sleep 4 in two bedrooms, two sleep 6 in three bedrooms, and two sleep 8 in four bedrooms. Nightly prices do not follow size neatly. One 4-guest place is the cheapest in the village, while another with the same layout costs several times more. The two 8-guest places sit at opposite ends of the budget range, so it pays to compare each one rather than assume the larger lodge costs more. All are in the village itself, so you will be driving or walking to reach Newby Bridge, Cartmel and the lake.

This place stands in Backbarrow, Cumbria, with Haverthwaite station 1.1 miles away and the Lake District National Park entrance 1.3 miles away.
Backbarrow is a small village at the southern end of the Lake District, close to the River Leven and the quieter side of Windermere. The lodges here suit groups and families more than couples, with an average capacity of 6 and the largest places sleeping 8. Most have 3 or 4 bedrooms.
Every place has a hot tub and a log burner, so the choice is less about which one has them and more about size, extras and budget. Prices vary a great deal. A week in winter is far dearer than a few separate nights at the lower end. Guest ratings are high, averaging 9.2 out of 10. Dogs are accepted at only a small share of places, so check this early if you are travelling with a pet.
Hot tubs, log burners, gardens and high chairs are found at all 6 places, which makes Backbarrow easy to plan for families and groups in colder months. A barbecue comes with about two thirds of them. Fishing is offered at 2 places, and those are the dearer ones, usually well above the village's typical night. Only 1 place has a sauna and an indoor pool, and it is one of the cheaper options, so it stands out for value if you want leisure facilities on site. Only 1 place takes dogs, which narrows the choice for pet owners.

Winter and early spring are fairly steady here. January is the cheapest month, with the most nights still free, along with February and March at a similar level. December costs more, as the Christmas and New Year period pushes prices up, and fewer nights remain open. April is the dearest month shown, again with limited availability, which fits the Easter holidays. November sits close to the middle. If you want a lower price and a choice of dates, aim for January or March. For school holidays, expect to book earlier and pay more.

|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £538 | 20% |
| December 2026 | £634 | 16% |
| January 2027 | £484 | 28% |
| February 2027 | £532 | 26% |
