“Helen was very helpful and hospitable.”

The cakes and scones were a thoughtful addition.

The cakes and scones were a thoughtful addition. All very comfortable and clean. The lounge could do with some brightening up as it seemed a bit gloomy even on a sunny day.
Mrs Fenella September 2019

“WOW what a holiday!”

We were impressed with absoutely everything this cottage had to offer. A family of six adults we had plenty of room, the cottage was immaculate, and probably the most equipped holiday rent we have ever had. Helen was a great host making sure we had everything we needed and providing treats. The garden was great and location was perfect with lots of sites, amenities and activities within walking distance. We would be delighted to return!
Mrs Goddard April 2019

“We had a lovely holiday in this very conveniently situated cottage.”

Helen was very helpful and we enjoyed the scones and cake she kindly left for us all! The cottage suited our family of six adults very well with plenty of space for everyone and a lovely garden to relax in after walking in the surrounding fells.
Mr Payne March 2019

“Warmest welcome from Helen who walked us through the cottage to explain how things worked which is a bonus as some cottages we have to find our own feet.”

She also called in a couple of times to make sure we were comfortable with the cottage. We would highly recommend Stybarrow cottage especially for families (6 persons). Decorated to a high standard and well equipped Colin P

Mrs Kite February 2019

“We had a great week in this gorgeous cottage with its beautiful surroundings.”

Helen was very welcoming, helpful and made us some delicious treats which we really enjoyed after ours days out walking. The cottage was very clean & equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony at night too. I would definitely reccomend a stay here.
Mrs Fielding December 2018

“This was a very comfortable and warm cottage.”

Helen was very welcoming in her manner and in the information she gave us about the cottage. The plate of cream scones in the fridge were a lovely surprise. All in all a very pleasant break in beautiful scenery right on the doorstep. Thank you

“Excellent Cottage. Very welcoming owner.”

We have just returned from a lovely stay in a wonderful cottage that had every mod con. The accomodation was spotless and well maintained throughout. We particularly appreciated the well kept garden and the bedroom balcony with views over Helvellyn. The owner could not have been more welcoming. We were treated to homebaking and she even brought our shopping in for us when we arrived late. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Highly recommend .

The owner was lovely too and very generous. She left us delicious homemade cakes and marmalade, as well as plenty of essentials such as milk and loo rolls ! Always useful when you arrive late in the evening ! The village was beautiful too, right by Ullswater.. I would definitely recommend this cottage and location.

“A Haven”

Absolutely loved being a guest at Helen's extremely comfortable and well stocked cottage in the heart of Glenridding. A wonderful base to explore the beautiful Lake District and felt very well looked after with little surprise baked deliciousnesses being left for us over several days. A real home with a heart and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone. We were two families of mothers, and double boy trouble and we all had our own space and more with the beautiful top floor being used as a castle turret whilst the kitchen and glowing fire in the sitting room were the grown up domain with a nice neutral buffer zone of bedrooms in the middle. Lovely garden with barbecue area, TUMBLE DRIER, and use of the very nice indoor pool in the hotel down the road. Great shop within stumbling downhill distance and marvellous pub just a minute up the hill. Thank you Helen and the lovely locals - GREAT HOLIDAY

“Lovely cottage - great location.”

3 generations of our family stayed at the cottage last week and we all enjoyed the week. Plenty of room for us to spend time together eating or playing games or just relaxing on our own. The top floor bedroom with two sofas and balcony was much appreciated. The owner was very kind and provided scones with cream and strawberries on arrival and topped us up with butter shortcake biscuits and lemon drizzle cake later in the week! We had great weather, despite the forecast, and enjoyed the sunshine in the garden with the new patio table and comfy seats set by the house and the chairs and coffee table on the "evening" terrace at the end of the garden. The views at the back of the house were wonderful and we walked to Lantys Tarn across the hillside behind the house twice. Glenridding sailing centre is nearby as well as the steamer port and the hiring point for motor boats so boat lovers can have a really good time. Then of course there is Helvellyn for the more adventurous but we had eaten too much cake!

“A real gem of a place, ideally located for activities in the fel”

Fantastic service - scones with strawberries and cream on arrival plus homemade marmalade - delicious! Nice and cosy, with several friendly pubs and hotels within walking distance. Fells and lake right on your doorstep - magic!
David Skittrall January 2014

“An excellent rental property well worth the money!”

A heartfelt "Thank you" to the owner Helen and the Cottage Holiday Group who professionally organised our wonderful post-Christmas stay in Glenridding. The accommodation was of an exceptionally high standard, warm, modern, welcoming and very spacious. The owner, Helen, gave us a detailed tour of the house upon our arrival. One had the distinct impression that nothing was too much trouble and she did indeed answer any questions which we had. The local amenities were sufficient and easily accessible. We would have no hesitation in recommending this rental property to any of our friends or family. Thank you once again. Kind Regards. David Skittrall and family
