Cottage vacation rentals in Pennines

Amazing stay at Gatehouse Barn. It is a really lovely, homely, welcoming place to stay. Plenty of sleeping options downstairs and up and a cosy living space. Also loads of seating areas outside which were perfect to enjoy the sun. The area is really quiet and peaceful and the location of the barn is extra secluded and private. As a final bonus, the attached spa area was a real treat after long walks (loads of which can start literally from the front door).

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

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!

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

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.

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.

This house is gorgeous, such a high standard and so many lovely little touches. The location is great, we walked into Lancaster along the path next to the house and the pub at the end of the road was lovely. The hot tub was a really nice end to our days.

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!

We have had a fantastic stay at Sue’s place. The cottage was so homely and spacious. Great Asby itself is such a quiet and peaceful location and is perfectly situated to get out to the lakes, via car, or the dales for a good walk. The local pub was superb for food and drinks and all locals were super friendly. Sue and Fitz were such friendly and attentive hosts who also left some lovely and much appreciated treats in the cottage for us to enjoy on our arrival. We would love to come back. Thanks again for a brilliant stay. 😊🤩

A really cosy, home from home cottage with a beautiful enclosed garden overlooking the surrounding countryside. Very well equipped and very tastefully decorated. The bathroom is a real treat. Thank you Debbie.

This was our second visit to Julie, It had lost none of its magic second time around.The accommodation is very clean and inviting,the outside space is lovely and relaxing...the views are stunning and all you can hear are the birds singing. We recommended staying here and will definitely be coming back in the future for a third visit. Thank you Julie for making us feel welcomed and for the tips on where to visit.

We had the most wonderful few days away at The Old Smithy. Kay was a fantastic host, warm, welcoming, and attentive. We would absolutely stay here again. We’ll also be highly recommending this charming cottage to our friends and family. On our first evening, Kay greeted us personally, and shortly after, her lovely granddaughters enthusiastically introduced our son to all the animals on the property. It was such a thoughtful and heartwarming welcome. The cottage itself is absolutely stunning, beautifully maintained, full of character, and perfectly suited for a relaxing family getaway. We felt at ease from the moment we arrived.

Susan was really quick to reply to our messages, when we got there it was raining heavily and she came out with an umbrella for us, bless her ! location and cottage was lovely, really cosy and clean

The place was amazing! Pictures aren’t able to do it justice! (Must see in person!) The home was very clean, had everything and more that you’d need. It’s been put together with care and attention. (Eg. A nice selection of board games, individual games and group games, leaflets with information about activities in the local area, a physical map and a list of instructions for anything you maybe wondering how to do in the home). Nicola as a host was amazing, kept in contact on the build up to our stay and gave clear and helpful information. Which made us feel really welcomed. Thank you very much Nicola and your team!

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!

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

We came here straight from our wedding with our two girls for our family moon and couldn’t have asked for anything more. From the moment we arrived with the little arrival touches to Susan setting out toys appropriate for our girls ages and the baby equipment we needed. We have never felt more welcomed especially with young children. After 3 days here I feel more relaxed than I do if I’ve been away longer and the kids have never slept so well thanks to the brook at the back of the house. Waking up and feeding the lambs on our literal doorstep was a highlight for us and the girls. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome and the memories made in your home xxx

Great location, in a peaceful country spot, but close enough to enjoy Durham. We had a lovely stay, and Paula was really helpful. We had hot weather, but the windows opened fully to allow a breeze to go through, and the bedrooms being downstairs were cooler. Enjoyed a barbecue outside one evening in the sunshine. Would definitely recommend - a lovely stay. Thanks.

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 !!!

We stayed at Harry's place for just one night but wished it was for longer after getting a feel for the place.The accommodation is beautifully designed with brilliant features in every corner.We had everything we needed at the cottage and Harry is a fab communicator giving us lots of helpful information.The town itself was buzzing with interesting characters and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ulverston and can't wait to return.

We stay in The Drive for 3 nights. The accomodation is beautiful and exceptionally clean. The views from the windows don't disappoint, they are breathtaking. It a little journey to Hexham but there is plenty to do there with lovely shops and cafés. We love Northumberland and have been going with our family every year for the last 13 years. We didn't want to come home

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.
