Cathy's place is excellent. I stay at Airbnbs regularly and this was one of the best I've ever stayed in. We used it as a base for my 50th birthday and we could not have been more pleased. The communication was very prompt and Cathy and Graham friendly and very accommodating. we'll definitely be back

Family of 4 stayed 3 nights in October 2024 and it was just what we needed. Had some beautiful long walks along the beach. The caravan was home from home, clean and cosy. It had everything you could want for cooking a simple breakfast to Sunday Roast. Clean and respectful surroundings around the park. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

The house is in a superb position overlooking Ambleside with all shops and amenities close by. Beds were very comfortable and everywhere was warm despite some chilly weather. Kitchen has just about all the pots, pans and utensils that you could ever need so cooking meals in was made a lot easier. Having said that, the delights of Ambleside's pubs and restaurants are an easy walk DOWN into town. Don't forget the hill back home after a big meal with a couple of drinks! We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Home in Grasmere
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 154 reviewsLuxury Lakeside Retreat with Spectacular Views
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Our Airbnb was a thrill to arrive at! An old English manor that once housed the Wordsworth family welcomed us with a box of goodies and large rooms that overlookd the lake and waterfalls on the side yard (garden). We were over the moon enchanted by the lovely design of the home filled with comfortable areas to lounge in. We used the fireplace daily and loved being with each other playing cards, doing a puzzle, cooking, and watching movies after our daily long hikes. The weather was gorgeous everyday offering sunshiny skies that dazzled the mountains and lakes. Our host, Kate, promptly answered any questions we had. We highly recommend this beautiful place conveniently located in Grasmere and sure hope we can return again!

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsLarge Family Lake View House 3BR & Parking
I had a wonderful relaxing stay with my elderly parents. Georgie gave me so much information and loads of tips during the week, and generally was super friendly and helpful. Her place was warm, welcoming, and very well kitted out for a family week. The location in Bowness village is ideal, just on the edge of the busy tourist area only a few minutes walk away, and very close to everything. The bus stop is right outside the guest house which is spot on for the 599 which goes around the Windermere and Grasmere area and is a great sight-seeing option. Thanks Georgie for a lovely stay, highly recommend your lovely place and hospitality!

We really enjoyed our stay here. This is our 9th holiday to The Lakes, all staying in and around Windermere. The house was in a great location and very homely. We were made to feel very welcome - easy check in and messages to check we'd arrived safely. We would stay here again. Very close to the pub and then the highstreet and local amenities.

The details are what separate good stays from great ones. Hause Hall has thought these through to the last inch and it boasts unbeatable charm with a location that provides spectacular views and proximity to nature. It would be a mistake to keep searching for a better stay!

Home in Ulverston
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviews4 bedroom house, central Ulverston
As a native of the area, I will be quite biased but accurate. Ulverston is a small Lakeland market town with character. I was born in the area but moved away 34 years ago. I regularly come up to visit my relations and my brother who still live in the surrounding area. The place has not lost any of its charm, great place to walk, great restaurants and great pubs and bars. I travelled up with some friends to show them around the area and to support the local football teams last game, Barrow AFC. I brought some friends up with me and needed a place to stay. I found Karen's property the perfect place, it sleeps at least eight people, so there was ample room for the four of us. The property is magnificent, modern, and clean with all the amenities that you will need for your stay. It comes with impeccable selected furniture that suits the property that is, in respect, an older property but a very substantial one. All I will say is, it was more than adequate for us.

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 260 reviewsComfortable 2 bed house with garden and parking
My husband and his hiking friend had a wonderful two days' walking in glorious weather. The "Twa Dugs" pub nearby had great bar food and hospitality. House was lovely and warm, comfortable and clean. The only comment was that the house was more difficult to locate as they arrived in the dark. Would have no hesitation in recommending this house. Many thanks.
