Location Finsthwaite is a charming, pretty and sleepy village only a few minutes drive from the shores of Windermere and from the A590 at Newby Bridge, yet convenient for the attractions of the National Park and accessible for commuters and for the local towns and villages. Finsthwaite is also now part of the West Windermere Way, which means you can easily reach Lakeside and The Swan by foot or bike off road.

To reach the property leave the A590 at Newby Bridge (signed for Hawkshead and Lakeside), go over the bridge to the Swan Hotel and follow the road through Lakeside and turn left at the Bobbin Mill junction and follow the road for approx ¼ of a mile coming into Finsthwaite with the cottage on your right in the centre of the village. The property is reached via the gravelled Courtyard with a pretty public footpath running alongside the property up to High Dam which is a lovely quiet spot for open water swimming and paddle boarding?
