House lovely and warm. Very cosy for a winter break. Sunny patio and bench at the back. Delicious home baked cakes to come back to after mountain walks.

Mr Mason July 2021

“Absolutely fantastic!”

Cottage is spacious comfortable and spotless. The views from the rear are stunning and there's great garden to relax in. Great walks in every direction and for every ability. We explored the area by bus with a weekly pass which was perfect for enjoying the scenery and a few pubs and restaurants, Penrith , Pooley Bridge, Brotherswater Ambleside, Windermere all got a visit and the trip over the Kirkstone Pass is incredible. Host Helen very friendly and generous and lives locally so has lots of local knowledge. 100% happy.

Dr Hare December 2020

“We had a wonderful stay at Stybarrow cottage.”

It is a cosy cottage, with a fully equipped kitchen, cosy living room, and very nice bedrooms. We were hiking most days in the snow and wind, so we appreciated the drying cupboard, the warm showers and the gas fire in the living room. Helen was very helpful and friendly, and we will definitely be back again soon!

- Dr Hare, December 2020
Mrs Rafton October 2020

“Stybarrow Cottage is one of the best equipped cottages we have ever stayed in.”

In a lovely position, it was perfectly situated for getting around to lots of places and an extremely comfortable ‘home’ to come back to at the end of a good day out. We would be very happy to return at some time.

- Mrs Rafton, October 2020
Mr Langler September 2020

“Great location, off road parking and spotlessly clean.”

The cottage was very well equipped with plenty of cutlery and crockery and cooking utensils. We would normally stay in a hotel but my parents were nervous about doing that so this was their first ever ' cottage' experience and it could not have been better. They loved it and will be looking to do this again.

- Mr Langler, September 2020
Mr Buckley July 2020

“We had a lovely week in Stybarrow Cottage.”

The owner was very welcoming and the cottage was full of nice little touches to enhance our stay. The location is exceptional for walking and activities on Ullswater. Thank you Helen for the scones and milk on arrival and the lemon drizzle cake was another nice gesture.

- Mr Buckley, July 2020

Mr Wilson February 2020

“One of the best holiday cottages we have ever booked (and we have booked a lot!”

). Warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped - there was even a tea cosy"!

- Mr Wilson, February 2020
Mr Sunderland-wright January 2020

“We thoroughly enjoyed the stay.”

Helen was waiting for me to arrive and quickly gave me a tour to settle me in. She had baked lots of home made scones with jam and cream as a welcome (very nice). She's also provided tea, coffee, sugar and milk to get us started. The place was lovely and warm and plenty of room. Views from the back garden are fabulous. All the rooms were a good size and the top floor penthouse room is amazing, the balcony doubly so. It's in a nice quiet place but just a short walk to all the facilities in Glenridding. Great for walking. Great wifi too! Well worth a visit.

- Mr Sunderland-wright, January 2020
Mrs Hague January 2020

“Lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

Owner showed us round and very kindly provided milk, tea, coffee, and a plate of delicious cream scones. We would definitely return

Mrs Meakin November 2019

“This is probably the best cottage we have stayed in - everything about it from the property itself with the beautiful balcony to the host (and her amazing cakes) to the area - walkers paradise is 5 star.”

- Mrs Meakin, November 2019
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 Fenella, September 2019
Mr Tofrik September 2019

“Helen was very helpful and hospitable.”

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.

- Mr Tofrik, September 2019
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.

- Mrs Goddard, April 2019
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
