Family-friendly vacation rentals in South Lakeland District

We absolutely love this place. Our second visit didn’t disappoint and we will definitely be back. Literally everything provided, host quick to answer queries, local co op for anything you don’t take, stunning scenery, lovely walks and a fabulous hot tub to end the day. Just perfect 👌

The location was amazing and the views were spectacular. This home was exactly what it said on the tin. We were all blown away by it and had beautiful weather to make the most of the outdoor area. The only thing we did notice was that there wasn’t enough wine glasses & champagne flutes. Not ideal when there was 8 women so we had to use half pint glasses. We could have also done with more dishwasher tablets to last the stay. Apart from that it was perfect. Thank you.

A really special place to stay. We had three families and all really enjoyed our stay. We took the option of the caravan too; everything was spotless, well-equipped and very comfortable. Between us there were five kids and there was plenty of space for them to roam and explore. The hot tub and sauna were great too.

We had a great time at Canny Brow Barn. Everything you could possible think of or need for your stay, Ian and Anne-Marie had thought about, from a cocktail shaker to cleaning products to games. Would highly recommend!

The cottage was very lovely and comfortable! It has that cozy countryside vibe that helps us to relax and have fun with my friends. The hot tub and BBQ grill stood out the most as we use it almost everyday and had a really great time. Would highly recommend it!

We had a fantastic stay at Sonia's place, the cottage was beautiful and was perfect for our family to stay over New Year. There was lots to do in the area and the cottage was in a great location. The hot tub was a fab addition in the frosty weather! Communication with Sonia was good and quick. Thank you! 😊

Excellent stay at the Serenty Apartments! Absolutely as described, the photos are exactly as the apartment is. Lovely and clean with all the amenities you need. Shaz and Sadiya very helpful and polite hosts, took the opportunity to go through how everything worked and sent us a long text with local recommendations for restaurants and places to go. We will be returning and would highly recommend this to anyone. We will certainly be recommending to friends and family.

We had an amazing time in the Shepard's hut. The room was very well maintained and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed using the hammocks and making a fire in the evening and Dot was very communicative and made our stay very pleasurable.

We were looking g for a place not within the main tourist areas of the Lake District and this place was the perfect match. You will need to have a car to get there but it is lovely and peaceful. Toiletries are not provided. The kitchen is well equipped but aside from salt and pepper, you would need to bring anything else you may need. However, these are small points. The key is that the place is super comfortable and cosy and we had a wonderful albeit short time there. Thank you!

Absolutely lovely location on the end of a private road with farm animals and fields surrounding the property with a gorgeous river tracking down the valley adjacent to the property. Highly recommended

Easy check-in and great directions. Lovely location and the apartment had everything I needed. Would highly recommend. Thank you, Maria.

A lovely little place in the centre of Windermere. It’s very small but all you need and a lovely place.

Zoe was great in communicating and the property is indeed a rare find. The garden was unique and our Labrador loved it.

Perfect place to run away from everything and relax. Cabin was clean and spacious. Would like to come back one day.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mary’s place. One of the best equipped kitchens we used over the years on Airbnb. The cottage is very clean and master bedroom bed is surprisingly beautiful. The view is stunning from Heaversham Head just as described by Mary. Great value for money considering its close location to Windmere. Highly recommend.

Simply perfect. 10/10 service. Secure parking for motorcycles. Lovely views.

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.

This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!

I had a really amazing stay at Angie’s place. The pool was great for the kids and it was an added treat to be able to use the spa and gym. The surroundings were stunning and people on the park really friendly. Everything in the Airbnb was so thoughtful and in the right place with the right number of coat hooks for all the gear. Would defo return

I had an absolutely blissful stay at Johns place. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many lovely animals, and the views from inside the hut are incredible. A very special spot.

House was as described, beautiful setting with wonderful views of the hills and mountains. Rooms are spacious with comfy beds and bathrooms are nicely finished with good showers. Kitchen is a good size and has all required implements. A great location for exploring the central lakes and soaking up all that Ambleside has to offer.

Mistletoe lodge did not disappoint. Kate was amazing. Very responsive and proactive and the lodge itself is very private and well kept
