Central Bowness - Hot Tub, Lake Views & Cinema
The location is fantastic and there is another route if you dont fancy the very steep hill up to the property. There was enough space for all of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool table and hot tub as the weather was intermittent!! There was a small issue with the heating which the hosts responded to immediately. A great central base for exploring.

Wythop School, Lake District
Perfect base for a lads and dads weekend. All the facilities we needed, comfortable, gorgeous views, no faff.

NEW-BERKELEY House - 5 Star - Lake View Luxury
We had the best time staying here as a family of 5. Firstly the house is absolutely beautifully done (and spotless) and the space works so well for either a family or friends on a trip. The garden is stunning too! We were very impressed with all the instructions left for us, everything was so clear and easy to use. The location is superb, a very easy walk down to the restaurants, and shops and we also enjoyed the longer walks that were recommended by Cassius! We look forward to returning again in the future!

Halfpenny Cottage - Cosy Retreat in Borrowdale
The apartment is great and very comfortable, and had everything we needed for a good stay. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed walks to the lakes and also to trails which can be accessed from the from the front door.

Mountain Cottage - Quirky at it's best
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!

Traditional Lakeland House
Such a fantastic stay at Elizabeth’s place. Truly a home away from home. Such a beautiful house, with stunning decor, very well equipped kitchen, perfect sun trap garden area and very clean throughout. Elizabeth was an exemplar host with such detailed recommendations and really lovely welcoming gifts. The location of the house is absolutely perfect. Would recommended in a heartbeat. We’ll definitely be back!

Lakeland Cottage - Bowness-on-Windermere sleeps 6
parking for 2 cars was perfect. location was great and so quiet and yet in the centre of everything.

Great family house for 6, parking , accepts 1 dog
We were four separate, senior girlfriends and had enough room and enjoyed the location and easy communication with Elisabeth. We had an issue that Elizabeth helped us to resolve. The location is wonderful for enjoying the town or walking straight from the house to and around the lake, driving or walking to Castlerigg stone circle or heading out on an adventure which we did when we drove to Buttermere and then onto St. Bee’s through the windy country roads! The home had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We would have enjoyed a higher quality set of linens in the bedrooms and bath towels as well but for a four night stay everything was fine. I recommend staying at Elisabeth’s home in Keswick.

Howgill Self Catering Apartment
Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

Admiral's Nest (Central Bowness)
Peter was very helpful, and the check-in process was easy. We arrived early, and when I mentioned this to Peter, he told me that I could check in right away if the cleaner had finished. That really made my day. The place was lovely, cozy, and quiet; it felt like home. Thank you once again for all your help. We look forward to visiting you again soon.

Entire ground floor accessible apartment
Ray and Sue were extremely responsive throughout, they met us and showed us around the apartment. They were very friendly and advised if we needed anything else we could reach out to them. The apartment was exactly as described, clean, loads if room, and we had very comfy beds. We had every item required in the kitchen, plus juice, milk and chocolate biscuits in the fridge which was a lovely gesture, plus tea, coffee, and sugar. Everything was to hand. We had a great stay, I would definitely recommend this accommodation, and our hosts Ray and Sue were brilliant. Thank you so much. X

'Waterside Studio'
Accommodation and location were perfect for us. Highly recommend. Clean quiet and had everything we needed. Many thanks.

Ground floor apartment with parking in town centre
Beautiful apartment Helen’s instructions were really clear & check in was seamless. Didn’t really get to appreciate the surrounding area except for the stunning views. This was a brief visit as our son was competing in the Lakes Ultramarathon. We were very grateful for the welcome hamper this allowed him to refuel post race. We will definitely be back ❤️

Scafell View Apartment, Wasdale, The Lake District
Scafell View had everything we needed. There was onsite private parking so guaranteed an easy space opposite the property and the apartment is a good size with everything you need. There were 3 of us staying and it great base from which to explore the local area and the views are amazing, especially the night sky! Sharon provided clear instructions on how to find the property with some suggestions and helpful info in the apartment. The only thing I'd ask for would be a few more adult board games for the evenings.

Rothay The Bowering
Great little stay walking distance from the train station. Lovely, quiet home was everything we needed!

Swallows & Amazons cottage - Loft
We absolutely loved our stay on the farm. The location is easy to find and is beautiful, within a five minute walk to the shores of the lake. Jonathon was responsible, friendly and informative with his communication prior to arrival. The loft itself is absolutely beautiful inside and out and the photos don't do it justice. It's clean, spacious (2 of us) and has stunning views looking over the lake and the Old Man. There is a cafe on site and although we didn't have time to try any food, it looked lovely. We will definitely be revisiting this beautiful part of the lakes again and highly recommend the site. Our only criticism was the mattress, which wasn't to our taste and felt a little old.

Luxury 4 Star Cosy Lakeland Cottage
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.

Stunning Alhambra Cottage, short stroll to lake
Our break at Alhambra Cottage was just what we hoped for. The location to the town with amazing restaurants, cafes and shops close by was great and being so close to Derwent Water meant we barely had to use our car. We also had a lovely evening at the beautiful cinema just across the road. The cottage had everything we needed, and was very comfortable with clear information for appliances etc. we would definitely stay here again. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

Bluebell Cottage Stunning Views & Log Fire | Lakes
We had such a wonderful time staying in this beautiful cottage in Ambleside. Such a great location and an easy walk into town. We will be sure to book again next time we visit the lakes!

Maple Leaf Cottage, Windermere, The Lake District.
Lovely cottage ideally located on the edge of Windermere town, Walked to the lake and travelled by boat to Brockhole and returned on the bus. Good transport and restaurants. Thank you Mark - we really enjoyed our stay.

Cosy Cottage on the edge of the Lake District
A fantastic option for our week in the Lake District. Conveniently situated, spotlessly clean and well equipped. A very comfortable place that exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back.

Skiddaw Cottage @ the heart of Keswick Town
One can see a lot of thought has gone into providing a well appointed residence. The location is excellent and Stuart's place has all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay and we would gladly return.

Snug cottage in a stunning setting!
What a wonderful stay - Diane was so helpful with her information Nothing was too much trouble Eggs delivered ready for breakfast Views stunning from Garden and hot tub All round just great
