Cottage vacation rentals in Motherby

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Really helpful host and lovely location!

We stayed at this lovely cottage for just one night and had such a wonderful, relaxing time. The place was spotlessly clean, spacious, and had a warm, homely feel from the moment we arrived. The hot tub and garden area were fantastic touches—perfect for unwinding—though sadly the heavy rain meant we couldn’t enjoy them as much as we would’ve liked. That said, the weather didn’t dampen our mood or take away from what was a truly peaceful stay at this little gem. In fact, it was lovely listening to the rain and watching it out of the window with a glass of wine in hand! We’ll definitely be back—hopefully under sunnier skies! Thank you for a lovely experience.

Beautiful location for a lovely farm stay, great views from the hot tub! Loved being able to watch the cows and sheep. Claire was lovely and was ready to help at any moment despite us arriving so late at night! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Spent 3 lovely peaceful days here! The place is spotless. Easy to check in, but quite a late one for standard check in times. Even with surrounding neighbours there was minimal disturbance.

Daniel and Sharon were amazing hosts. Everything as advertised. Would definitely recommend them 👍🏼

Cosy cottage with access to private beach on Windermere Fabulous hot tub, thoughtful touches everywhere - towels and sliders for the hot tub/lake, welcome hamper with lots of goodies, lovely wood burning stove Sauna and table tennis and marble run through the wood available - we didn’t have time to use everything - thanks for a lovely stay

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

What an absolute gem we found in Apple House. The pictures really don't do the whole place justice! A cosy, romantic house set in beautiful, serene surroundings. It really was the perfect location for our mini moon! Was lovely to be greeted by the chickens and Russel the dog each morning <3 We were treated to some tasty welcome gifts and the place was spotless, very comfy bed and just the most charming decor. Thank you so much Emma and Craig! We will definitely be returning with more of our family!

Beautiful modern rustic cottage in the countryside, exactly what you want if you want peace, comfort and luxury. Emma & Gregor are amazing! Great communication and little extra treats to greet you when you arrive ! Absolutely recommend!

Excellent cottage, nice, comfy and well decorated, right in the heart of Penrith. Location of cottage although central is very quiet and private. Sarah’s communication was excellent throughout. Would definitely visit again

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely, cosy cottage. Very warm, despite the inclement weather. Under floor heating was lovely! We lit a fire one evening, although we didn't really need it, and it was great!

Alison is a delightful lady. So kind and helpful. Her cottage ( we stayed in Jemima Puddleduck) was very comfortable. Beds and pullows especially and all spotlessly clean. All we needed was provided Alison had thought of everything. We had a fantastic week. Thank you.

One can see a lot of thought has gone into providing a well appointed residence. The location is excellent and Stuart's place has all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay and we would gladly return.

Sophie is an excellent host. The cottage barn was spotless and matched the description. A very cozy stay. We had perfect weather so were able to enjoy the patio every morning and evening. A perfect little get away in the countryside.

My husband, son, and I visited the Strawberry Cottage for four days and four nights recently and we had a wonderful time. It was the perfect size for us - ample space to lounge and cook meals. The beds were comfy so we got great sleep. And the location was perfect - just steps away from so many restaurants, the bus stop to adventures in nearby towns, and lots of trails around Derwentwater. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful stay at Silver Howe, the cottage was perfect for exploring the Lakes. It was a real home from home with a handy local shop and pub. The private fenced garden was great as we had our dog with us, it also kept out the local sheep! Would recommend Rebecca’s place for a visit, it was clean, has great amenities and lots of character and charm. The lovely walk along the river to Elterwater is recommended, as is a stop at the Britannia Inn, the food was very good. Overall a great stay, thank you.

Peg's Cottage was a lovely escape into the countryside. It is situated in a small, picturesque village. The cottage is beautiful inside, with everything you would need for a stay. Just bring some oil and herbs if you want want to cook. Peg was so friendly and helpful to us. She met us when we arrived and showed us around the place. There were clear instructions around the cottage and on the noticeboard which answered any questions we had. You'll be making a great choice if you wish to stay here

Amanda personally welcomed us upon arrival and took the time to show us round the cottage, explaining where everything was and how things worked. The cottage itself is beautiful, extremely well kept and full of all the bits and pieces you need to have a most enjoyable stay, including those nice little extras such as tea, coffee, milk and wine to welcome you. The view from the cottage is stunning and the local village itself has lovely little shops and cafes. The area itself has lots of walks through lovely countryside and numerous places of outstanding natural beauty. A little further out, there are a number of museums, towns, historical places that are worth exploring, including Hadrian's Wall and the Pennines. This is an ideal place for a relaxing break, out in the countryside soaking up the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The cottage was impeccably clean lovely furnishings very homely beautiful surroundings bed linen clean and fresh beautiful garden / dog friendly the cottage is equipped with everything you may need whilst you stay i would and have recommended to friends and family and we will be back next year !!! Beautiful place to stay !!!

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. The house was perfect for our group, had everything you need and of course waking up to the beautiful views everyday was amazing. Great location for hiking, seeing the surrounding towns the lakes has to offer and also great local pubs within walking distance. Jonny and his family was so accomodating and welcoming and also kept us up to date with the weather and what hikes would be good to do. We will definitely be back and would 100% recommend this beautiful property. It really is a home away from home.

This is our 3rd year at Mary Meadows and we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in the Lakes. Well equipped, clean, comfortable, extremely quiet, and so nice of Joanne to knock on the door and make sure everything was ok! Walking distance to the newly refurbished Royal Hotel that serves great beer and food, and to Gowbarrow Fell and the spectacular Aira Force waterfalls. Everything else in the Lakes just a short drive away. Avoid the hustle and bustle and chill out in Dockray! A very friendly neighbour too, who's a bit untidy, but lovely genuine welcoming chap and full of great stories about the area. A highly recommended place to stay!

4 of us stayed at Penny's for 3 nights. Great stay-walkable to center of village-15 minute walk to Booth's (grocery). Fully stocked kitchen/Everything was super clean. Penny is great host.
