“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!

“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.

“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.

“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.

Brilliant location and spacious accommodation, warm and maintained to a high standard. Met Helen who gave us a warm welcome on arrival and showed us all we needed to know about the cottage plus a plateful of freshly baked scones. Will certainly be returning in the near future . Many thanks once again. Colin P

“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 .

“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 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

“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
