BAKERS REST, Grasmere

For the second year running Bakers Rest was perfect, warm, beautifully decorated and equipped, in a great location. Thank you


Mrs Lyrel


ULLSWATER VIEW, Watermillock, Ullswater

The perfect place to relax for the week - amazing views from our favourite place, the window seat is great to sit and watch the changing faces of the lake and fells. Great walks nearby we could abandon the car for a few days!




THE OLD HAYLOFT, Keswick

We had a five night stay here and could not fault the place.

Having stayed at other rentals I can say that the pictures you see are a true reflection of what it is actually like. Everything was immaculate. All the furnishings are lovely, very tasteful and fully co-ordinated. It is completely bijou but has everything you could need to make a stay comfortable. Whole flat a massive step up from a boring box or chinzy, second-hand 'character' style of many properties. I could stay here again and again and will. Another plus is that you can save a fortune in parking fees by staying here. As they say in my neighbourhood, it is a belta!




SHATTON LODGE BARN, Lorton, Nr Cockermouth

Perfect getaway, had a lovely break. The little touches make all the diffirence, fresh flowers and wine on arrival are fantastic. Great location with Cockermouth on the right and beautiful Buttermere on the left. We will definitely stay again. Thank you


Tony & Irene Rowan


SOMERVELL, Applethwaite, Nr Keswick

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Somervell and look forward to returning again, (hopefully next year). We found Somervell to be a tastefully furnished character conversion offering spacious accommodation with wonderful views of Derwentwater. We liked the peaceful location, and being at the foot of Skiddaw we were able to take some wonderful walks right from the doorstep. The close proximity to Keswick meant we were able to frequently visit the attractions the town had to offer which was perfect for us being a family with young children to entertain.

The house is a true home from home, the well equipped kitchen with all modern appliances and a huge range of cooking utensils was enough to cater for me, being an adventurous cook. The wide variety of Books and Films available to us complimented the thoughtful touches offered in this comfortable house, the reclining sofas in the lounge were a big hit with the whole family after our many long walks. There was lots of tourist information available to us. Overall, a wonderful week was had by all and we have already recommended the house to others upon our return.


Mrs L.L. Esex


JASMINE COTTAGE, Lindale, South Lakes

Miss Pearson, Fife

Loved the place the first time that we decided to come back for a second time. Even though the weather wasn't great being/staying in such a lovely accommodation made up for it.


Mr and Mrs Conway and Family

Jim & Christine Clark


HILLCREST, Lindale, South Lakes

Thank you, we had a lovely holiday. Its beautiful landscape around the cottage, enjoyed walking around the area.




HEATHER COTTAGE, Ambleside

Having two lively young boys, myself and my wife found our stay at Heather cottage, Ambleside a lovely experience. The weather was reasonably kind for us with only one day being rained off. Even so the facilities at the cottage were excellent, a real home from home. The boys loved the cottage and the location was excellent for trips out or long walks. Would definitely visit again.




THE RETREAT, Ambleside

Amazing ambleside decribes this holiday beautifully! The apartment was superb; very clean and in a perfect location in the town.
The property is approx three years old and is nicely furnished and well equipped. There is car parking, which once navigated proved to be a god send - especially when packing and unpacking.
The public transport is excellent and the open top buses stop at the end of the road which can take you to Grasmere amongst other places.
Nearby attractions which are a must are Hill Top (home of Beatrix Potter) and Dove Cottage (home of William Wordsworth) plus trips on Windermere, Coniston and Ullswater.
The owners of The Retreat were very helpful and accomodating offering a free cooked breakfast on the day of departure. Excellent.




HILLCREST, Lindale, South Lakes

Thanks, enjoyed our stay in your beautiful, comfy cottage.


Shaun & Monica


LINDALE RETREAT, Lindale, South Lakes

Quite location and a short ride to very good local shops. Close to Windermere and other attractions.




WHITBARROW HOLIDAY VILLAGE (5), Nr Ullswater

Stayed here for week in July, house was tastefully and very comfortably furnished. 2 good sized bedrooms but the third bunk room is very tight - only suitable for younger children I'd say. Used the pool most days and the bar for a coffee but didn't eat in the restaurant. The menu did look nice though and we had takeaway pizzas one night which were very tasty and ready quickly. Well situated for exploring the Lakes, great farm shop close by and we would definitely recommend this house to others




YEW TREES APARTMENT, Keswick

Having stayed in holiday apartments and cottages in Keswick over the last fifteen years we found this apartment to be one of the best, It was well fitted out with parking for one car (Which is quite rare in Keswick )quiet yet with in easy walking distance of both the town centre and the lake.




LANTERN HOUSE, Alston, Eden Valley/Northumbria

Fantastic time had by all. House is spotless and every detail is well thought out. No shortage of local pubs either, THANK YOU.


Daniel and Bishop Families


THE TEMPLARS, Temple Sowerby, Nr Penrith

THE BOATHOUSE (DUKE OF PORTLAND), Pooley Bridge, Nr Ullswater

Had been admiring the boathouse from afar for many years so it was wonderful to be able to actually stay here. Booked it for my husbands 50th and he loved it. The setting is so beautiful and the inside of the boathouse lived up to expectations. We are saving up to come back again for his 60th!




SWINSIDE, Keswick

Lovely Cottage, great location! We had fantastic weather and had a great holiday! Thank you.


Alison Harris

Luke Jones & Livi Watts


HOLLYBUSH, Heaning Barn, Nr Windermere

Location was ideal for us, close to town for shopping and for easy access to the main routes around the area, but also remote enough to be peaceful and get some great views. well equipped cottage with lots of thoughtful extras that made it very homely.




HOLLYBUSH, Heaning Barn, Nr Windermere

Lovely, peaceful. delightful, thats just a few things ! Lovely cottage, we'll be back.


The Moreens


BANK VIEW COTTAGE, Langdale

Bank View Cottage was in a lovely spot within the village of Chapel Stile about 4 miles from Ambleside. The accomodation is Clean,Compact and cosy & has everything you need for a weeks holiday. There is a local shop and a pub within a few minutes walk and three other pubs within a couple of miles. Had great time.




POTTERY COTTAGE, Skelton, Nr Ullswater

Pottery cottage was lovely and comfortable, with plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The cottage was well equipped and we were made to feel very welcome. There is a pub with good food about 10 steps away and the cottage is only a short drive from the heart of lakeland walking.

The cottage is in beautiful surroundings and there is a garden patio with furniture so we could sit in the sunshine.

I would recommend the cottage as it was lovely.




SKIDDAW VIEW, Keswick

This is a superb property, ideally situated about one minute's walk from Keswick's Main Street. The parking space provided is essential due to the very busy surrrounding area. The apartment is spotlessly clean and finished to a high standard. There is also a lift to both floors of this duplex style apartment which was helpful with our young baby's buggy. Key collection is also a bonus as the office is a short walk from the apartment.




THE RETREAT, Ambleside

Very nice apartment indeed.great location slap bang in the middle of ambleside.very modern,clean,well-appointed with everything you could possibly need.Tight access to the car park is a very minor issue but overall I'd completely recomment The Retreat.




LINDALE RETREAT, Lindale, South Lakes

The cottage was superbly equipped in all areas. The kitchen cupboards were well stocked with all manner of cooking ingredients and equpment. The garage contained garden furniture. The living room was extremely comfortable, this is important especially if the weather is not very good. The only negative comment my teenage son had to make is about the lack if internet access.




KELSICK HEIGHTS, Ambleside

To apartment was excellent, we had a great week. Clean, comfortable, liked to window seat. Our one and only fault was the en-suite shower that we didn't use as poor. The main bathroom shower was lovely a powerful. Having a parking space was good of course.




GARDEN COTTAGE, Fieldside Grange, Keswick

This was our fourth visit to the flat and we love it! The flat itself has all we want but the outstanding feature is the view.




THE BOATHOUSE (DUKE OF PORTLAND), Pooley Bridge, Nr Ullswater

From the moment we arrived this beautiful place captured our hearts, stunning views and a magical feel to this wonderful and very romantic boathouse, the chic interior and old wood fire just added to the vibe...the japanese bath tub was fabulous for a long hot soak after walking around the waterfalls all day. We were truly sad to leave and will definitely be returning...To My Somewhere Over The Rainbow.




CATBELLS, Blencathra Street, Keswick

As a group of friends coming to the Keswick convention Catbells was a perfect base. We were amazed at the quality of all the fittings and in particular the kitchen. Little details meant a lot like the towel for muddy dogs! Close to a well stocked little spar shop and all amenities it was ideal. We would have booked for next year at the end of our stay if it had been available




DANES COURT, Cartmel Fell, South Lakes

Pretty charming house, a lot of room, traditional nice appearance, but far away from the next village, let alone town.




DANES COURT, Cartmel Fell, South Lakes

Beautiful place in a wonderful setting,far from the madding crowd.




WHITBARROW HOLIDAY VILLAGE (18), Nr Ullswater

Room excellent everything you need for a week or two away




THE TEMPLARS, Temple Sowerby, Nr Penrith

Phil and Shirley


HOLME LEA, Kirkby Thore, Eden Valley

I would like to take this opportunity in congratulating you on owning a lovely bungalow. Myself, husband, Mum and two dogs stayed at Holme Lea on the 10th-17th July and found it very comfortable and well equipped. Having breakfast in the conservatory was a lovely experience in the morning sun wth the birds singing. Your lady neighbour with the westie was very pleasant as were the ladies in the village shop. We enjoyed our local walks together with the varies places we visited by car. We would like to book with you again in the future.


Mr and Mrs Woodruff


ULLSWATER VIEW, Watermillock, Ullswater

My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Garden Flat. What an amazing place - we never turned the TV on once! It truly was home from home, everthing in the flat being very well planned and the location is just perfect. You simply cannot tire of that wonderful ever changing view.

We visited Grange, very pictureesque town and Cartmel lovely village, we were very lucky with the weather. We also visited Bowness and had a trip up to Coniston on the steamer yacht (Gondola) it was a very enjoyable experience. Much quiter than Windermere. We would love to come back again.

KNOTT VIEW BARN, Farleton, Kirkby Lonsdale, South Lakes/Dales Border

I am just writting to say a huge thankyou for our recent visit to your House (knott view Barn) on the weekend of the 24th June - 26th Junefor my sister-in-law's hen party. Very often we are quick to complain if something wasn't right, and not so quick to commend. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the wat we were greeted with a lovely welcome basket and note on the blackboard to everything in the house being top quality and in excellent condition. I particularly loved the fact that you had thought of everything we would need for our visit from dishwasher tablets to salt and pepper - small details make all the difference!
You made our visit easy, comfortable, and wanting us to recommend it to everyone we know!
Thank you and well done for your excellent service, it is few and far between these days!
We will be back!


Alexandra Fisher


BARN ROOST, Ruthwaite, Nr Ireby, Keswick

We have just returned from a week in Barn Roost in Ruthwaite. I just wanted to say how wonderful it was! What a cottage. I really feel it is undersold in your adverts! It was way way beyond our expectations. It is spacious, light, comfortable, really well equipped, clean. Just perfect! And so quiet!

We loved it and really did not want to leave!

We felt it was like a work of art, lovingly crafted. The wood everywhere is beautiful. We will return! The dogs liked having their own bedroom in the Conservatory too! Fab space!

Thank you.

Best wishes
Tina and Trace

A very enjoyable short break in your warm and cosy cottage. A home from home and an ideal base to explore the Lake District from. The weather was very kind to us which can either make or break a holiday in this part of the country. We visited the Eskdale Steam Railway and the Ullswater Steamer using a combination ticket which worked very well and saved some money.The views are spectacular everywhere you go and the pubs are full of character, real fires and real ales. Overall a very relaxing and interesting break. We hope to visit again and would recommend your cottage.

We simply could not have asked for a better home and location whilst we all took the time to explore the Lake district and the Yorkshire Dales. Local free - range eggs were fantastic and of course we had to indulge in the coffee treats and beautifil gardens at the Mill Yard Cafe. This Cottage and location is packed with all the benifits and more that we could have asked for. Thank you for a great holiday!

Me and my husband have just returned from a weeks stay at Wolfen Mill, and we couldn’t have found a better place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.

We have already recommended this lovely apartment to our friends and family and will be back whenever we get chance.

Sandra Smith


CROFT BARN, Kings Meaburn, Eden Valley
At the end of each day we said "shall we go home now?" that was how wonderful the cottage felt, that we refered to it as "home." Perfectly placed between the Lakes and the Pennines, we couldnt have asked for a better location. We are very sad to leave and have left with enduring menories of how quiet the roads are and how friendly the people are. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Peter, Lila, Karon & Dave, West Sussex


HOLLENS FARMHOUSE, Grasmere

We had a most enjoyable week in the Lakes and found Hollens Farmhouse excellent and comfortable in all respects - it rose to the promise that the description on your website engendered. Thank you for the very good service.

BARTON LODGE, Pooley Bridge Holiday Park, Ullswater

We have just returned from Ullswater, Barton Lodge, Pooley Bridge and want to say thank you for a lovely chalet. Barton Lodge was very clean, spacious yet cosy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The booking of accommodation was straight forward. We were expecting a quieter location - not in the middle of a camp site though! - but it was quiet and felt secluded when in the chalet. The area is beautiful. I would recommend your company and accommodation.

Thank you to all your staff


Karen and Studley farmily


HILLCREST, Lindale, South Lakes

Had a lovely week in this delightful area. There was so much to see and do we ran out of time. We made good use of the information and used several of the maps and guides on walks around Elterwater, Tarn Hows and Loughrigg. The cottage is very comfortable and located in a lovely spot. Thank you for a memorable stay we hope to return again soon.


Rob And Jane


KNOTT VIEW BARN, Farleton, Kirkby Lonsdale, South Lakes/Dales Border

My family and I, 7 adults and 4 children stayed at Knott's View in the summer and we were bowled over by how well-equipped, modern, quiet and secluded, yet accessible to the Lake District, it was. The property was large enough for everyone, with 2 dining areas and a large lounge, children's room, which was ideal and where they played for hours, as well as the well-equipped children's furniture in the garden. It even had a games room in the basement which the boys loved. The downstairs bedroom had an unexpected visitor at the bedroom window every morning, the horse from next door.

The owners, on the farm next door, were very friendly and helpful and the lovely welcome basket on arrival was very generous and welcomed. It was handy having a utility room and entrance where we could come in with wet boots.

I would recommend this property to any large party, it has a wow factor.

HILLCREST, Lindale, South Lakes

Boy did it rain. Thunder and lightning at times! Fortunately for us only during the night and the Thursday morning. The rest of the time it was scorching, shorts and t-shirt weather-lovely. The cottage was a very well equipped well located base from which to explore.We particularly enjoyed Castlerigg and Keswick and sitting on the esplanade at Grange soaking up the sun.Peaceful and quiet.The cottage was very cosy to wind down in afterwards.We would definately want to return... preferably during the next heat wave.Many Thanks

CARLETON MILL COTTAGE, Carlisle
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, the Christmas tree was a delightful and unexpected touch. Great cottage and on regular bus route to city centre, great for enjoying the peace and quiet but loved the fact we had lots to do only minutes away.
PS thanks for the wine under the tree!

BECKSIDE BUNGALOW, Pooley Bridge Holiday Park, Ullswater
What a great holiday, cant believe the sun always shines in Pooley Brige, there was six of us plus a baby, the accommodation was very spacious and more than fulfilled our needs. Best bit is we were within staggering distance of the restaurant and bar.

We had a very pleasant time in the Boathouse. It gives a special feeling to be staying in such a wellknown 'landmark' as it is a focal point on many postcards, leaflets etc.
