Built in 1836 Newfold Cottage was a central part of the former Free Grammar School. The foundation stone was laid by William Wordsworth the world-famous poet, making this historic cottage a rich addition to the local history of the Lake District. The foundation stone is still in place at the front of the building and is a popular feature of the village.

Newfold Cottage has been tastefully decorated throughout by the current owners with high-end carpets, flooring, furnishings, soft furnishings including bedding linen and towels. The property has three bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed, the others with a double bed, the third bedroom is very much a cosy hideaway loft room, accessed via a spiral staircase, guests will discover a double bed, bedside cabinets, a set of drawers and a Smart TV.

The town has a vibrant, bustling atmosphere, especially in the summer months and a superb lakeside setting with lovely views across the lake. Independent retailers, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and bars are all just a stroll away from the cottage. Visitors can enjoy a boat ride to Ambleside or perhaps enjoy a picnic on the shore whilst watching the world go by. There are walks in abundance right from your doorstep, and whether it be a steady stroll or a hardy ramble, the scenery will not disappoint. Bowness caters for all ages with plenty to see and do including the Beatrix Potter Exhibition, Steamboat Museum, cinema, as well as a crazy golf pitch and putt course, cycle hire and a sailing marina.

The property was in a state of disrepair, and it is noted the property currently has a “For Sale” sign, providing some understanding of the cause of the very poor state of the rental. Areas below acceptable standards were as follows: 1. Spiral staircase to top bedroom unsafe. Top handrail is unsecured, and a pole fell out one night while the stairs were not in use. Very dangerous. 2. Central heating – the ground floor rear bedroom had no heat at all, the radiator in the bedroom and the ensuite failed to warm at all, leaving these rooms uncomfortably cold. No adjustment of TRVs or Lock shields resulted in fixing the issue, the system needs overhaul. 3. Blinds completely missing in bedroom – view from bed level open to the world. Had to improvise privacy using a blanket. Velux ceiling blind broken 4. Missing guttering meaning heavy rain all week resulted in pouring water day and night. Really poor from a basic build maintenance, and very noisy (video attached) 5. Rear of the property unsecure. The lower Velux Door locking mechanism is broken, and can be opened even when locked. (see video). This was very discomforting. 6. Ensuite shower broken and in poor state 7. Lighting was terrible, with high percentage (more than half) of bulbs missing or broken – counted 22 broken of 38. 8. TV in the lounge was broken, bright blue. No amount of settings changing could change the screen. Felt like we were watching the Smurfs for four nights.
