ClariTurf-4 Bed House-Stadia,Parks,Canal-SkyN 'flix
Lovely property - very clean and tidy. Great space with private parking. Fab location for us for the football Would definitely recommend

Superb 3 Bedroom Sandstone Home with private Lake
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Abbots Moss. It was last minute (same day booking) and everything was ready and in order. The house was definitely a home away from home which is exactly what I am looking for. We have two children and a very well behaved golden - all loved the location and the house. The grounds and lake are exquisite and so peaceful. The lounge area was beautifully decorated with sofas I would purchase for my own home. Linens are also something I look for and the beds were all lovely. We enjoyed the area, eating out at some local recommendations, visiting Hadrian's Wall, completing our first family Wainwright summit! Thank you Tamar. We would love to return!

Quakers Field View
Second time staying at Lindsays. Spot on as always! Thank you again

Luxurious and Peaceful Lakeside House, Clitheroe
This house is as beautiful as looks on the pictures. Very, very clean and tidy, and the decor is very stylish. We loved our stay and would highly recommend. 5 stars for the hosts for this amazing house and thank you again for putting out the birthday banners :)

Osprey Boathouse your luxury water side retreat
I would agree with previous comments. The property is gorgeous and in pristine condition with waterside access where we could launch our kayak and paddle boards. These as well as bicycles are also available to hire close by. All amenities are within walking distance and the nearby ferry provides access to the western shore of Lake Windermere. There is a lovely out and back path along the edge of the lake ideal for runners as well as several circular walks. All in all a we had a fantastic active family holiday but you can equally spend time on the balcony watching the world go by. Helen’s welcome pack is exceptional providing you with essentials to start your holiday. The fresh flowers were a lovely touch. I would love to come back one day. Thanks.

Ansdell Hideaway
Fantastic property in great location. Interior manages to be modern style with a homely family friendly feel. Mark is very keen to make sure you are settled on arrival and goes out of his way to deal with any concerns you have. The local area has many cafes and new eateries and walking distance to Fairhaven Lake which has a lovely dog friendly cafe. Highly recommended 5 stars all round.

Hawkhow Cottage, Glenridding
This is a lovely place, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. There are walks on your doorstep and no need to get in your car if you do not want to. The accommodation had everything we needed in the kitchen and the fireplace in the living room was an added bonus for the cold nights, as we went in February, plus there is underfloor heating which really made the place cosy. The gardens surrounding the accommodation are lovely and there is a fire pit at the top of the garden to watch the stars if you are lucky enough to get a clear night. The sauna and cold plunge were great after a long day of hiking, we were lucky as the other accommodation that shared the facilities used the sauna late in the evening and we used them late afternoon, so we didn't overlap, which was ideal. I would highly recommend this accommodation, it was lovely for our family break with the dogs. Thanks again for everything

Servants Wing at Claughton Hall, Sleeps 4
Cosy yet spacious quarters in gorgeous picturesque grounds. Perfect for a relaxing and peaceful break. All the amenities you could require too. Beds were very comfy too. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

Stunning Character Property with hot tub & SAUNA
Lovely place to stay! We enjoyed our stay here. The house was huge and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table and darts board. The sauna is also an amazing addition. Would recommend. ☺️

Wythop School, Lake District
Beautiful place, very spacious. Perfect for a big group trip. Very clean. Great location with stunning views. Had a small issue with the key safe but was resolved quickly as Kim quickly responded and was nearby to help us get in. House is great with a lovely bit of history. Hot showers, big, fully working kitchen. It does take a while for the house to heat up so will be cold when you get in during the winter. 10-15 min drive from Cockermouth for grocery shopping and pubs / restaurants. And the host is amazing, thanks so much Kim!

The Lazy Fish, Lake District
Delightful place to stay. Comfortable, warm and well-equipped. Good parking. Friendly and helpful hosts. Perfect for exploring the Lake District.

Quiet spacious detached home near lake and town
Beautiful house - the kitchen was a great place for us all to get together. And to have a pool/table tennis table in the garage - was a bonus - kept the grandsons entertained!! Great location as could walk to the lake and into Windermere for a coffee! But is was so peaceful as well. We all had a fantastic and much needed break. Even the weather - it rained - could not dampen our spirits!!! Loved it and would book again.

Spacious Family House 4BR with parking & views
Sandown House made our summer visit to the Lake District enjoyable. Space for our immediate family and extended family and friends. We nicknamed it the upside down house because the bedrooms are on the ground floor and the kitchen and living rooms on the top floor. Plenty of parking, walking distance to all that Bowness-on-Windermere has to offer. We think the on suite bathrooms are tiny, but we are tall people (6’and 6’4”) other than that plenty of space to stretch out. Lovely welcome hamper upon our arrival added a nice touch from the owners.

Spacious, comfortable Lodge near Carnforth
Fabulous lodge, beautifully decorated for Christmas with a lovely festive welcome pack waiting for us on arrival. The beds were comfy and a good size unlike other lodges we've stayed in. Peaceful site which is close to plenty of restaurants and other amenities. Good communication from the host. We had a perfect family Christmas staying here and enjoyed it so much, we've already booked another stay.

Country Cottage at Jenkinsons Place
Our favourite place to stay in the lakes, it has everything we need - cosy cottage and gorgeous area. Hosts are always so helpful and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back, thank you for another lovely holiday.

Sunny Brae, Windermere Cottage
Lovely accommodation thank you

3 bed cottage Ravenglass - perfect for Scafell Pike!
The location of the home was beautiful with a beach nearby and only a short drive the Scafell pike. The home itself was very nice, comfortable and welcoming with everything you need to relax and unwind after a day of hiking.

Home from home in Maryport
I was very pleased to find Cheryl's place as our original booking cancelled with just a couple of weeks to go. It was thoughtfully and beautifully decorated and provisioned, and was a lovely base for our break, even if we did have to leave a day early due to threatening snow! Would recommend.

Kingsway House
This was the absolute perfect place to stay for our trip - I grew up in the area and now live in Canada. We came back for a family reunion over New Year (my parents live very close by). Holly was super helpful and always responded very quickly to any queries. The house was very welcoming, clean, very well furnished and well equipped. Very quiet neighbourhood. Very comfortable beds! Check in instructions were very clear and well communicated. Thank you Holly for helping make our trip very special.

Rum butter home
Great little place to stay for small families looking for an adventure. Not only was the house well presented, it was clean and tidy and it had a well equip kitchen.The bedrooms were great sizes and the beds were comfortable (super important if you're doing lots of walking!). Location was great, just a 5 minute walk from the town on a nice quiet street. Loads of walking available locally (anything from an hour walk to a 5 hour hike) but we did Helvellyn, old man Coniston and scafell pike while on our visit all of which were withing 40 minutes of the house. All in all, great stay and would recommend to others. Thanks very much!

Waterside at No 4 Belsfield
Beautiful property .in a fabulous location Within walking distance of all the shops/restaurants in Bowness Couldn’t fault it

Luxury on the Lake in Windermere - Priory Manor
We had a fantastic stay at Priory Manor. It’s a beautiful place: large rooms with high ceilings, lots of windows, nice furniture, immaculately clean. To be honest we found it even more stunning than the pictures showed! The bedrooms are very comfortable, and both have ensuites; the main has a soaker tub as well! If the large sitting areas aren’t enough there is the tower with great views. The hosts are fantastic as well. They have made a great effort to provide a comfortable welcoming environment. There is coffee and tea, cookies, a bottle of wine!, as well as little things like books and magazines throughout. Even wireless phone chargers! They really made an effort, and it made a huge difference in making our trip relaxing and enjoyable. I could go on and on. But overall this is a great property with great hosts. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Self Catering Holiday Cottage
