What a beautiful place to stay, very clean, has everything you could possibly need. The fishery is peaceful and has lots of wildlife around, it’s really relaxing. Ben and Charlotte were always quick to respond to question and were really welcoming. Was a pleasure to meet Ben in person. His enthusiasm and love for the place is brilliant. Would definitely recommend this to everyone!

Fairway House

KirstyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We spent only one night at Naomi’s place, arriving very late after a family event, but it was a pleasant overnight stay with super comfortable beds and a great shower in the morning. I left a necklace behind and Naomi and Darren kindly looked for it and sent it to me by registered post, for which I am very grateful.

Superb 3 Bedroom Sandstone Home with private Lake

StaceyRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Abbots Moss. It was last minute (same day booking) and everything was ready and in order. The house was definitely a home away from home which is exactly what I am looking for. We have two children and a very well behaved golden - all loved the location and the house. The grounds and lake are exquisite and so peaceful. The lounge area was beautifully decorated with sofas I would purchase for my own home. Linens are also something I look for and the beds were all lovely. We enjoyed the area, eating out at some local recommendations, visiting Hadrian's Wall, completing our first family Wainwright summit! Thank you Tamar. We would love to return!

Quakers Field View

ChrisRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Lindsay was super helpful from the beginning of our communication and during our stay. The house is lovely and the comfiest beds we've ever had in an Airbnb! Towels were provided and the shower was epic - the men struggled with the low beam a bit but still loved the rainfall and hand held combo. We'll be back for a short stay for sure 😊.

Stunning Kiernan Boathouse Bowness with Hottub

FriedaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
What a lovely home. We had a great 4 night stay. Everything was clean and plenty of space for our family of 4 plus our dog. A welcome treat for us and the dog was well received. We particularly enjoyed launching our paddle boards from the jetty and relaxing in the hot tub.. The next door building as mentioned didn’t take away from the stay at all. Thanks a lot!

Osprey Boathouse your luxury water side retreat

RichardRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Fantastic accomodation, right on the lake with loads of thoughtful treats on arrival. Just what we wanted! Very close to bustling Bowness but also a short hop to tranquility of west shore. We enjoyed kayaking around the islands from our doorstep and took bikes on car ferry and visited Wray castle. Our teenage lads loved the footgolf 5mins from house too. Loads of great walks from nearby. We drove to grasmere (20 min) and did Fairfield horseshoe. Perfect base for all the family. Thanks Helen!

Hawkhow Cottage, Glenridding

MatthewRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The accommodation is really comfortable. Amole seating in the living space. Lovely dining area very airy feeling. Bedrooms and bedding are comfortable and clean. The layout is great for families and the outside spaces are interesting and beautiful. It is set into a hillside and the drive way is steep and can be a little scrabbly. However a minute of walking puts you lakeside of Ullswater which is stunning and clean. 10 minutes walk gets you to Glenridding if you need essentials or a cold pint or glass of wine. Overall I would give it a “I’d stay again for sure” out of 10.

Servants Wing at Claughton Hall, Sleeps 4

AnneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Claughton Hall sits in a beautiful location; isolated and peaceful but easy enough to get out to surrounding areas. Accommodation was simply superb; well furnished with plenty of space, a well equipped kitchen, a cosy living/dining room with log burner and especially very, very comfortable beds! Despite the bad weather we had it was a most enjoyable stay. Sam is a great host and always on hand if needed. I would not hesitate to recommend and would definitely go back. Anne

6* Lux 3 bed Cottage Private Island lake district

DanielRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We stayed at Thomas Gray House, 2 adults with 3 teenagers. We absolutely loved the location, stunning setting and lots of nearby walks with great views. A couple of really nice pubs to walk to in local village and we combined it with a trip to morecambe on one day and Windermere on another day which were both within about half an hours drive. Jerry was uber responsive for any questions and gave nice video instructions on how to access property etc.
