Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Portinscale

Lovely house, great views, within 30 mins drive to all main south lakes sights. Communication and check in all very easy and clear. We had a great stay :)

I can’t recommend Will and Giles’ place enough. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. The information sent prior to arrival was brilliant, the cottage was much bigger than we expected and it’s in an amazing location right by Coniston. The place was spotless and had some lovely touches. We will be back!

We have had a lovely stay at the boathouse which was just amazing! The boat house its self is beautiful, clean and comfortable with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! It is very well equipt, plenty of towels, blankets and even robes. We loved the hot tub with views over the lake. The location of the boathouse was just perfect for us and the views were stunning! We took our own paddle boards and was so happy to be able to launch straight from the jetty to explore the lake. My daughter also loved feeding the ducks from the jetty. We have had a busy few days on local bike trails, hikes, paddle boarding, boating and having some lovely meals out in beautiful Bowness, but always looked forward to returning to the boathouse! We will definitely be returning! Thank you

The drive to the cottage from easedale road, with around 5/6 gates, didn’t phase us at all. I wouldn’t recommend driving along the tracks in a hatchback, but in an SUV it was fine. Also currently in the middle of a drought, so no wet mud to contend with. As I’m young and fit I just jogged between the gates while husband followed in car behind. Check in was fine, the usual key box as with most Airbnb’s, which I prefer over a physical host. Cottage was great, lovely place, gardens and views amazing. It didn’t quite say in the listing, but the whole garden is shared with the other property - it’s massive so space isn’t an issue, it’s more that with dogs this means you have to be constantly watchful which isn’t relaxing - if there was a boundary like a small fence with chicken wire, you could let the dogs roam in peace with the doors open. The mattress was way too hard on the kind size bed for preference, and the other property had a 30 min shower at 2am so I didn’t sleep well sadly.

Very pleasant stay! Diana was a fantastic host who works hard to ensure her guests have a brilliant time when staying as her guests! We would definitely stay again!

Really enjoyed our stay at Black Mesa. A very cosy, restful and comfortable place to come back to after a day's walking. Great location with lots to do round and about.

We had a fabulous long weekend here. Right from the very friendly welcome from Simon when we arrived to a cheery goodbye. The house is beautiful. Very well maintained and an excellent standard. Total luxury. Very comfortable and we all felt at home. The views from the house are stunning and the hot tub was lovely with even better views than the house. Thank you Simon for being quick to respond ahead of the trip and for having such a beautiful home that we got to stay in. We hope to be back when we sign up for another Lake District running or swimming event.

Fabulous stay at Jill’s. 5 mins to central Keswick and ideal if you are walking in the hills. Definitely stay there again.

We had a fantastic long weekend in the lodge. Absolutely stunning landscape and the lodge was beautiful. It had everything we needed and more! Thank you so much for a fantastic stay.

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

One of our favourite ever Airbnb’s! Just the perfect peaceful spot in the quintessential English countryside. The place was brilliantly kitted with so many smaller things you end up needing without realizing it. The full length mirror is always appreciated. Fantastic large smart TV with easy login to any streaming service. The “Herdy” theme for the kitchen was really a nice touch. Great big fridge and freezer. Super comfy bed. Nice big couch to relax after a long day of exploring. Alun was a fantastic host. We will definitely be back!

Lovely caravan sited on a well kept location. We are an older couple who only stayed one night to break up a journey, but would thoroughly recommend this space especially if you have a young family. Spotlessly clean and stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay, it makes for a very enjoyable holiday. Many thanks to the hosts!

We had a wonderful 5 day stay! The caravan was perfect for our family of four (plus our dog) — cozy, spacious, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. What really stood out was the incredible attention to detail, especially for our pup — treats, a towel, and even a blanket were waiting for her. It was so heartwarming and showed how much care went into everything. Our host was amazing — Sam sent us great recommendations in advance for places to eat and things to do, which made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. The fresh flowers and duck food left for us were such a lovely surprise — it truly felt like a personal and welcoming experience. We’re so grateful and would absolutely love to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, pet-friendly getaway!

What a fabulous few days me and my boys had ..I’ve never seen them so relaxed (ages 35 and 37 )x I think it was the lovely energy we felt in the beautiful Nest xx looking out over the river each morning set us up for the day. Would recommend 100% , we had everything we needed ..I couldn’t fault it ..the bedrooms immaculate and the beds /bedding were soft clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the gym and pool offer also x staff there were lovely at the Swan Hotel. Thank you xx

My husband and I (and our two dogs) had our mini-moon here and it was just the relaxing break we needed. The dogs settled straight away and it's the most sleep we've had in years. Lisa was super helpful throughout and we couldn't have been more grateful for our beautiful stay away. Thanks again, Laura xx

Our second stay in Ridgeway Cottage; we love the stunning views from the huge picture windows and the convenient location for exploring the Lakes. We may be back again!

Brilliant location, so peaceful, the dog had a blast, amazing scenery, would highly recommend

We enjoyed our time in the Lake District, and this Airbnb makes for a good base for exploring the region. It's within walking distance of Keswick—the best town in the Lake District with a number of great restaurants—but Portinscale is quieter, and having a parking space included is a big plus. The Airbnb space is nicely equipped and very clean. I would recommend this without hesitation.

Hazel's & Mike's place was lovely! Booked for two nights to attend a wedding nearby. Needed somewhere for our small family to stay and this was perfect! lovely place with very well kept accommodation in a quiet location! Everything was great and more than what you could need - very nice bathroom/wet room, and fully equipped kitchen keeping the toddler fed easily! Very spacious bedroom with perfect size beds for all. Would stay here again in a heartbeat if we find ourselves in this part of the world again!

Such a lovely cottage!! We felt at home upon arrival and enjoyed every minute we spent in it. Our cat was very happy as well, entertained by all the birds and little animals he could watch from the windows. Location was great - nice little village but also a 10min drive to Cockermouth with plenty of options for shops and restaurants. We’d love to come back someday!

We arrived and were met by the host who was so friendly and approachable. The cottage is just beautiful, the views are out of this world, stunning. We walked up the crag in the first evening and would highly recommend this. The facilities in the cottage are everything we needed, incredibly comfortable bed and lounge area. Although after arriving the weather turned against us, it in no way stopped us getting out and exploring and coming back to the cottage and knowing we could warm up and rest for the evening was a blessing. Overall, there is nothing we could add to improve things, we just wish we had been there longer and would love to come back! Thank you

Hazel's place is idyllic and in a beautiful setting. Hazel was super helpful to me when I was trying to sort out an issue with my bike.
