Family-friendly vacation rentals in Staveley

Had an excellent weekend away celebrating our mums 80th Birthday! Everything there for all the different age ranges from 15-80 year olds always something to do! Host was always at the end of a text for any assistance that was needed! The welcome basket was a lovely surprise! Will definitely recommend & use again. x

We arrived at the Old Sunday School for 4 nights and the cottage was exactly as described to us by the host Peter. The cottage was very cosy in a little village with everything you need for a lovely peaceful few days with all amenities within walking distance including the Meadowside Cafe which we visited on the Saturday for the Brindian which was absolutely amazing and would highly recommend if visiting Dent as the owners, Adrian (chef) and his wife were amazing hosts. We also made use of the hot tub at the cottage which is a nice lovely added bonus which was even better with the gorgeous weather we had during our stay. We would highly recommend this cottage and would most definitely return in the future so if you are looking for a peaceful place with fantastic views visit Dent.

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.

Amazing night away, very scenic. Will definitely be back again x

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!

We stayed here with some friends to get together for a birthday. We loved the cozy games room and spent our evenings together watching movies all cozied up with blankets. The host was absolutely lovely and her dogs were super cute! It was the perfect quiet break that we needed to enjoy the company of your favourite people. Thank you so much!

What a wonderful spot and cottage to fully unwind for a couple of days. The cottage is set in the most peaceful and beautiful of settings, with easy access to the lake and beach area. The cottage was quirky, quaint and eclectic and we all felt at home and relaxed as soon as we stepped in. The added extra touches from Mark and Ruth were lovely and we felt really welcomed to their space. The cottage has everything you need and it made for a peaceful and relaxing few days to relax and recharge. Thanks again for letting us stay.

Great location and barn. Perfect for a multi generational family get together (including a dog). The barn was exactly as described and well kitted out. The outside space is private and safe - the barbecue and hot tub are of a great standard. Excellent food at the Rose and Crown (but you must book). Plenty of places too visit....we had a great walk with two young children round High Force. Sarah is responsive and not "in your face". As good an Airbnb as we have been to for our annual clan gathering.

This was our third stay and we hope to return to enjoy Hilary and Peter’s wonderful hospitality and this superb cottage. There was everything we could possibly need for a relaxing stay….the most comfortable bed, amazing shower, beautiful decor and gorgeous surroundings. Lovely welcome treats and so much attention to detail, including fresh flowers. We had a fabulous break and we are already looking to book again. Thank you so much Hilary and Peter.

Such a lovely place, had a nice girly weekend for my hen do with my bridesmaids and maid of honour and the hosts were really sweet. They were happy to co-ordinate with my maid of honour so the whole thing was a really nice surprise and it was overall really private and peaceful with such stunning views. Would highly recommend and think we will definitely be booking again 🤍

The cottage was exactly what was listed and what we were looking for. The Host was always responsive and friendly with many helpful details. The cottage is cosy and in beautiful surroundings with friendly neighbours. It also is well equipped for short or long stays. We will definitely recommend and hopefully come back soon! Thank you

We have just spent 3 nights at Herdy View Lodge and were extremely pleased with our choice. The property is in a quiet location in a lovely setting. Several restaurants are in easy distance and Penrith, Ullswater and Keswick are short drives away. The lodge itself is lovely and kitted out with everything we needed. There is also an information folder which was really useful. All in all it was perfect for our requirements and we would certainly book there again. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely property! The view is absolutely stunning! Great location - many pubs near by, children’s park and walks to do from the property and only 30 min drive from Buttermere lake ‘which is a must’! Perfect for our 2 year old, she loved running around the garden and seeing the view & sheep! Great communication with host. Would 100% recommend!

Lovely cottage, very clean and decorative. Great location just a short drive to lovely walks and other villages. Co op and SPAR across the road, or ASDA express 10 mins away. Very dog friendly my 2 border collies loved it. Road can be busy and noisy but quiet at night. Managed to park safely on the road a few metres up with no restrictions or outside the cottage 6pm - 8am. Lee is an excellent host very helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend.

beautiful views and lovely place to stay has everything you need would highly recommend

loved our stay, nice quiet location and great to have a parking space only slight downside was on a very steep hill but maybe that's our old age showing!

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.

Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

Had a lovely 3 nights stay, hosts were friendly and informative, house was spotlessly clean and spacious, everything you could really need was there, hot tub in the evenings after a day out was the perfect way to unwind, made a great base for exploring the lakes, hope to come back soon!

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!

We loved our time here, surrounded by nature - and lovely isolated place for a reset. Hoping to come back at some point, possibly for a winter getaway. Everything was dead easy - parking, self check-in, location, lodge itself, just very easy and homely. Highly recommended.

This was the fifth time we've stayed here. The place is so peaceful and relaxing. Great having the animals around and fab views from the hut. You'll be spoilt for choice of the number of walks straight from the far. John is a great host, he always pops by to say hello and check in. We'll definitely be back.
