“Naomi's home is in amazing, yet under visited, location in the Lake District, The wonders of the Lakes are easily accessible by car, but there are stunning bike rides/walks to do from the doorstep. Naomi kindly lent us her bikes and it's a 20 min pretty cycle along a quiet road to the shores of beautiful Coniston Water. Spark Bridge has a nice pub with good food. We visited Furness Abbey and the English Heritage Bobbin Mill which are close by. The nearest market town (Ulverston) is gorgeous with loads of independent shops and cafes. Naomi's home is a warm and cosy Victorian house with a wood burning stove and AGA. The children loved looking after the chickens and enjoyed the really spacious bedrooms. We'd love to return one day, as we've only just started to explore the delights of the locality!”

About our home
Our home is a beautiful traditional semi-detached family home in the village of Spark Bridge. The large rooms, open plan kitchen and living space make it a very sociable space. Ideal for children with gardens front and back though you do need to be careful with the road. We have a woodburner in the living room and aga in the kitchen for cooking on so it's a very warm and cosy space. The river Crake runs through the village which is a nice place to relax and swim in the summer. Nearby is Coniston water for swimming, kayaking, canoeing etc plus many beautiful walks around the Rusland Valley.

As a host (1)More about us

We are a family of five, myself, my partner Dan and our 3 children who are Rowan, 11 and twins Luca and Bel who are 5.

We are a creative and adventurous family who prefer a real cultural experience to the more commercial side of holidays. Dan works as a sound artist, musician and maker and I run a holiday let in the lakes and also work with willow sculpture, dance and play music.

We are a busy family and we like the kids to enjoy a free, loving and creative space. We will treat your home with care and respect.

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
The village of Spark Bridge is nestled around the River Crake which runs out to the Morecambe Bay estuary and is fed by Coniston Water. There is one pub in the village so for food shopping, cafe's, restaurants and bars etc we tend to go to the nearby town of Ulverston. Spark Bridge is in the Rusland Vally which is beautiful all year round for walking and in Summer a good location for swimming, kayaking and canoeing in Coniston Water or the River Crake.
