Cottage holiday rentals in Askham

Really helpful host and lovely location!

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Genuinely amazing little place to stay, in a beautiful part of the world. We were even greeted with a lemon drizzle cake :) 10/10 would recommend!

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

Fab place to stay for outdoor adventures.

Beautiful location for a lovely farm stay, great views from the hot tub! Loved being able to watch the cows and sheep. Claire was lovely and was ready to help at any moment despite us arriving so late at night! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

We all felt incredibly spoilt at tower cottage. The accommodation just had a wonderful, relaxed, comforting playful energy about it. It felt that every ornament or artifact that the cottage held had a story behind it and what a privilege for us. It was joyous. The grounds, well that was something else. Early morning Deer, the call of the chiff chaff, the fast low flight of the sparrow hawk through the woods, the soothing sound of the stream in an evening, a great crested grebe joining us for our Sunday morning dip and the joy of the marble run in the woods reminded us to freely play all weekend as a friendship group. Living next door, Ruth and mark were on hand if we needed help or advice without ever feeling like our time and space was compromised. Relaxed wholesome hosts who love where they live. Their kindness was infectious. We will definitely be back.

Charming and full of character, with fabulous pool and hot tub. Loved our stay with family. Granddaughter filled with excitement throughout our stay.

Very welcoming hosts and an impressive place to rent. The interior is in stylish, comfortable and in great condition. The location is quieter than others in the lake district but only 15 mins from Bowness. We loved our weekend.

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

We have had a fantastic stay at Sue’s place. The cottage was so homely and spacious. Great Asby itself is such a quiet and peaceful location and is perfectly situated to get out to the lakes, via car, or the dales for a good walk. The local pub was superb for food and drinks and all locals were super friendly. Sue and Fitz were such friendly and attentive hosts who also left some lovely and much appreciated treats in the cottage for us to enjoy on our arrival. We would love to come back. Thanks again for a brilliant stay. 😊🤩

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful cottage - comfortable, cosy and equipped with everything you’ll need for a great stay. Lots of lovely original features - especially the wonderful bath and shower! Beautiful bedrooms with comfortable beds and beautiful views. Peaceful location and conveniently located. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for your stay in the Lakes!

Location is great - a couple of minutes walk from the local pub (which is well worth a visit) and there are numerous great walks from the doorstep. The cottage was clean, tidy and had everything you could possibly need for a stay in the lakes. It’s a real home from home with Netflix on the TV and various board games to keep you entertained. Jo was super friendly, responsive and all in all a great host. We would definitely recommend staying here!

A uniquely characterful location, in the foot of the beauty of the northern lakes, over looking Blencathra in the distance. Easy to find and well connected to Penrith for amenities and onward access to the whole of the Lake District. We enjoyed a peaceful, quiet location for our little family and this cortage was warm, comfortable (particularly the beds!) and with everything we needed to self cater. The Wi-Fi was an essential tool as the area is lacking in mobile connectivity. We were able to he given early access by our hostess and they kindly communicated this. We also were met on arrival by our friendly co-host Paul. The kind gift of a lovely bottle of white wine in the fridge also made us smile. Overall, it was a delightful stay and I wholly recommended to all that people come visit the Dairy Cottage at Fort Putnam!

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful spacious cottage, on our way home from Scotland. Good quality furniture and lovely decor. The garden was great for our dogs. Pretty surroundings and so many local walks! Very well equipped and we appreciated the welcome pack. Thank you

Had a great couple of days at Strawberry Cottage. The place was clean, cosy, and had all the amenities we could need. The location was fantastic - only a very short walk into Keswick Town Centre. Would highly recommend.

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.

Amanda personally welcomed us upon arrival and took the time to show us round the cottage, explaining where everything was and how things worked. The cottage itself is beautiful, extremely well kept and full of all the bits and pieces you need to have a most enjoyable stay, including those nice little extras such as tea, coffee, milk and wine to welcome you. The view from the cottage is stunning and the local village itself has lovely little shops and cafes. The area itself has lots of walks through lovely countryside and numerous places of outstanding natural beauty. A little further out, there are a number of museums, towns, historical places that are worth exploring, including Hadrian's Wall and the Pennines. This is an ideal place for a relaxing break, out in the countryside soaking up the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Harry's place for just one night but wished it was for longer after getting a feel for the place.The accommodation is beautifully designed with brilliant features in every corner.We had everything we needed at the cottage and Harry is a fab communicator giving us lots of helpful information.The town itself was buzzing with interesting characters and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ulverston and can't wait to return.

Tara was a wonderful host, they were so quick to respond and instructions were very clear of how to get to property. Kitchen was well equipped with new appliances and everything you would need. Very peaceful location. Thanks for lovely stay.

Lovely, cosy cottage. Very warm, despite the inclement weather. Under floor heating was lovely! We lit a fire one evening, although we didn't really need it, and it was great!

We really liked Jim’s cottage. It is a period building, full of character and tastefully furnished. The hamlet of Mosedale is lovely, away from the crowds that blight much of the Lake District, and there’s some great hills you can walk to from the door. This being Cumbria it may well rain, but the cottage is well stocked with games, books and dvds. A lovely spot to stay!

The River Barn exceeded all of our expectations and was even more beautiful than the pictures portrayed. The River Barn was very comfortable (the bed was awesome) and all amenities to prepare meals, enjoy a BBQ or go on a picnic were readily available. The location was perfect for our purposes; we greatly appreciated the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of the property but it also provided easy access to Windemere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick where we enjoyed going on several walks. We can't say enough positive comments about our host, Otto communicated with us on several occasions and provided us with lots of information --- where to eat, where to visit and nearby walks. If interested in enjoying a delicious Sunday roast, be sure to reserve a table early at one of the two pubs within easy walking distance. We highly recommend staying at the River Barn and can't wait to visit again!!
