We had a lovely long weekend at Watson Cottage. The cottage had everything you could possibly need and it was warm and very comfortable. The hot tub was an added extra! It's a beautiful location with lots of things to do whatever the weather.
Lovely cottage really clean spacious ideal location. There was 6 of us and it didn’t feel cramped at all everything you need the accommodation provided
We had a wonderful holiday, the apartment is beautiful, with exceptional views. We really enjoyed ourselves and hope to return in the future.
Lovely location in the family estate, the accommodation over looks fields and woodland and was very well presented Access to many walks, not to far from all the well known Lakes and tourist attractions. For those who want to explore many roads off the beaten track with beautiful views . Recommended.
Lovely cottage in a great location with everything you could need provided. Easy to find and has the best of both worlds as it is in a rural location but also near town and attractions. Motorway very handy if you wanted to go further. Hosts helpful. Carlisle is an interesting town and lakes can be reached as well as Hadrians Wall so plenty to do and see.
I called and spoke to Tracey the day before we were due to arrive and was struck by how happy she sounded that we were coming despite never having met us which served to raise the excitement we already felt. We were greeted on arrival and given lots of information on the lie of the land and places to eat and shop then entered the cosiest homely, cottage on a dreary day to find everything ready for a hot cuppa with a sweet treat. There were logs and kindling ready by the fire and fresh flowers on the table, we immediately felt so welcome! We chose our rooms, unpacked everything finding homes...more
We’ve had a lovely week here at Tarn End. Gorgeous property, beautifully decorated with an amazing view. We highly recommend and will be back!
Wonderful stay in Cosy Cottage. It certainly lives up to its name with everything we could need! Fabulous central location so we could walk to all the bars and restaurants in Ambleside. Great to have a permit for car park nearby which although busy we had no problem finding a space when needed
This was our first time visiting Grasmere and I think we have found our new favourite place to stay. Being all ground floor, the cottage was ideal for us with my elderly parents. The cottage is well equipped and centrally located. We enjoyed wandering around the art galleries and shops and ventured into Ambleside, Windermere and Keswick all really easy to reach by car.
We stayed here for 4 nights and received a warm welcome from Gemma. There were 2 bottles of wine and biscuits waiting for us in the cottage which was a nice touch. The cottage was lovely and the grounds were beautiful and great for our 2 wee dogs who loved running about. We used the games room every day. We are thinking of going back next year. The only downside to the cottage was not having a walk in shower for my elderly mum.
Beautiful, quiet n relaxing cottage. Very private and secluded . Never slept so well. Hot tub was a great advantage in the early evenings. Staff very friendly and helpfull. Will definitely go back as wished ive of had a few fly fishing lessons. 5⭐️
We had a great stay - we needed somewhere peaceful to stay because our dog is terrified of fireworks & Sparrows Nest was just perfect. It was also great for us too & had everything we needed to enjoy our visit. We have stayed in many lodges over the years & can honestly say that this was the nicest one we have ever stayed in & can highly recommend it.
Three generations of our family stayed here for a wonderful week in this super property. Super comfy beds for a great night's sleep after days out in the outdoors. Absolutely fabulous
Very responsive owner , lovely accomodation of high quality and great location. Everything worked properly, warm and comfortable.
The only thing the place is missing is decent wifi. The pictures you see are old pictures, the little decked patio is no longer there but that didn’t really matter because when we were outside we were making good use of the hot tub which ofcourse is now sheltered by a pergola! This place is good for if you want to get away from the world and focus on you and your partner, there is a 6 foot privacy fence surrounding with woods and a burn to the rear. Highly recommend!
The cottage was luxurious, well equipped and views were stunning. It was lovely being so close to the farm animals and being greeted each morning by the chickens roaming around the grounds and horses in the field next to the cottage. Tottergill farm has amazing wildlife too and we spotted deer several times during our stay. The hot tub and wood burning stove was perfect addition to the holiday experience. After spending our days out on walks or travelling to local attractions it was lovely to warm up in the hot tub. We were so relaxed by the end of our stay and would definitely book...more
We had a great stay, well equipped cottage, great views, plenty of space, would definitely recommend
We were blessed with amazing weather and waking up to the peaceful setting A joy. We had a full agenda and the location was so so covenant
Absolutely fantastic place great views in a morning lovey warm and toasty house absolutely needed nothing great location deffo booking again from booking with Cumbrian cottages to my stay the place is luxurious and great location for walks love the underfloor heating thanks
Superb accommodation of a very high standard in a great location with lovely views. A perfect place to stay. Thank you.
Everything was great. It was just steps from the center but quiet at night. I’d stay again in a heartbeat!
We shared three wonderful days with family in this excellent bungalow which was exactly as advertised….stunning view and easy access to Pooley Bridge. Slight hiccup on the final morning when the electricity cut out but on contacting the office it was soon rectified. We would certainly return again.
The Stables were spacious, well appointed more pleasant than the pictures suggest. Louise, the host, was very agreeable, even introducing our kids to pet their dog and cat. The location was quiet with very little traffic on the road. The clothes dryer was a big plus after paddling in streams and getting caught in the rain. We would gladly return.
We had a fantastic stay at the cabin! It is easily accessible from the M6 and a great base for exploring the Lake District. The cabin itself was modern and clean - we had all the amenities we needed for our stay and they were all top of the range (especially the bed and kitchen)! We loved the privacy of the cabin/hot tub and the view across the estate was incredible! We will 100% stay here again - so glad we found this gem!
Stunning property, perfectly equipped, welcoming and comfortable. An excellent experience for our family of 10 covering 4 generations from 9 months to 90 years and our beautiful labrador. Surrounded by nature, deer in fields, house martins in eaves yet conveniently located for the Lakes, Cumbria and Northumberland. Peaceful yet fun! Great hot tub and garden.
Great relaxing location with peaceful surroundings and comfortable accommodation. Plenty of room for two couples to catch up and explore the area. Close access to the motorway and train station.
A week spent at Hill Cottage is a week well spent. It feels like home from home, really well kitted out with everything you could want. The quality of the cookware was really good, the speck of the oven/microwave etc was top notch. And the shower was fabulous. So a hot day climbing mountains gets washed off with ease and comfort. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here to anyone visiting the Lakes.
Lovely accommodation with everything needed for a short stay. Clean and cosy with some nice little touch’s ie bottle of fizz, basket of jacuzzi, throw, marshmallows etc. Jacuzzi in private garden, nestled near a stream, saw an owl and squirrel on our visit. My husband had a lovely 60th weekend. Thank you. We will visit again for sure.
The Shepherds Hut is very cosy and great for getting away from it all. Maes Tearoom next door is fabulous and serves amazing food. I tried the bacon roll which was fully loaded plus the Sunday lunch which was truly wonderful. The welcome victoria sponge and rocky road were also to die for. The hut is compact so I was glad fo stay there alone as I personally feel it would have been cramped for 2 but then again I know some people would love it and find it very romantic. I absolutely love the area hence choosing to stay here and it did not disappoint. The only glitch was Storm Lilian but you can ...more
I would highly recommend Monkhouse Hill to anyone looking for accommodation in the North West lakes. The accommodation was spotless and very comfortable and the hot tub added an extra element of luxury that was perfect after a long day of exploring. The site is very well maintained and has stunning views over the Eden Valley. I'd also highly recommend a visit to the local village Caldbeck.
This is our second stay in the cottage this year and hoping to visit again soon. Great location about one mile outside Grasmere. The views from the cottage are amazing. Cottage itself is clean and comfortable with it's own parking.Gardens are kept tidy.
We love Grasmere and are so pleased we found this cottage. It's extremely spacious and central in Grasmere, everywhere is within walking distance and the parking permit means you don't have to worry about finding somewhere to park. Would definitely stay again.
Great service arranging our holiday and a few queries from Gail The accommodation was ideal with two bedroom on each floor , both en suite Located in the centre of the village but off the main thoroughfare suites us ideally Looking forward to returning in the Autumn
We stayed 3 nights at Church End and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The cottage is more spacious than it looks allowing plenty of room for privacy if wanted. The village has a wonderful market, pubs and is perfectly located for day trips to surrounding sites.
Lovely, cosy lodge with great mod cons. We really enjoyed the peaceful outside space too. Perfectly located for exploring the areas around Ullswater, Penrith and the northern lakes. We would definitely stay here again.
Thank you so much David, Julia, and Gail. We have always wanted to stay at the Boathouse so treated ourselves for our 25th wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. The boathouse lived up to our expectations, and more. Well equipped, warm and a real treat. We enjoyed walks from the boathouse each day, took in the views from the balcony over the Lake late afternoon/early evening (wrapped in the blankets thoughtfully supplied), enjoyed soaking in the copper bath, and relaxed in the warm interior in the evening! Bed was super comfy too and made for a lovely deep sleep. We will be booking ...more
Fantastic location, set in front of rolling hills on a working farm. Accommodation was more than sufficient for 4 people + a dog. Clean, tidy, well presented and great views. Friendly owners too.
Lovely little well looked after cottage . The owners had thought of everything from logs ,firelighters and matches to treats and a pint of milk . Aurora on three nights a bonus
It was a very relaxing place to stay and we would definitely go back. A few maintenance and cleaning bits to sort/improve with the towel radiator not heating, some lights not working, crumbs on the sofa, black mould around the edge of the shower floor but nothing that couldn’t be quickly resolved to improve the standard of this accommodation.
Great stay at Bluebell (name needs updating on Cumbrian Cottages), cabin absolutely perfect and we had a fantastic time! Only small issues were the hot tub took about 2.5 hours to get hot and then stuff floated out of the pipe into the water. This is first time using a wood fired tub so not sure if that's normal. Also a lot of flies around in summer months so very difficult to have doors/windows open.
we very much enjoyed our stay. we found it difficult to find Sians Retreat. This is only the name of the hut. So we were unsure if we where Sians Retreat is. the garden could be nicer.
The cottage itself is welcoming and unique, as was the owner who we spoke to the next morning. We didn’t get there until late because of a storm and it was really helpful that the key was left in the door. The cottage had most things we needed for a couple of nights but a larger chopping board, sharper knives and a kitchen sponge would have been extremely useful for cooking and wiping down the kitchen. The bedrooms are very big and guests have lots of space. My daughter loved the large bed! The view from the veranda is amazing and I imagine that it’s lovely to sit out there in the summer. It w...more
Great location loads of streams mountains ect , house lovely but small bed could do with being lower , and windows are rotten , would go again but would not count small bedroom as bed is too high
My wife and I stayed in mid July 2024 and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The furniture is a bit dated but comfortable. The upside down layout makes for a warm stay and we were treated to bats outside the living room window at dusk each evening. There was a welcome pack of tea coffee cakes and milk in the fridge which is always a lovely touch when it happens. There is everything in the lodge, including a dishwasher, washing machine, iron and ironing board. The double bed is very big and comfortable and a hair dryer is also available. The lodge is a bit difficult to find at first, make sure you u...more
The property was easily located, parking is tight but some options close by. On first sight the property was very clean and welcoming with an excellent view down over the town and surrounding hills. The space was very good for two people, kitchen facilities were good, except for the fridge which had seen better days but still worked. However, the seating around the table was uncomfortable, don't think that garden/conservatory chairs were appropriate. A place to lounge after a day out walking was appreciated. The bathroom is small, and the shower floor was a little spongy and bouncy. The...more
Accommodation was comfortable. Disappointed to turn up and find no clean towels or linen. This was quickly fixed,though there was subsequent confusion when the cleaner turned up a day early. Attention to detail could be better ( some sinks blocked, instructions for rubbish could have been clearer). However, overall, this is a nice place in a lovely location, and good value for money.
