Cottage holiday rentals in Motherby

Really helpful host and lovely location!

Amazing stay at Gatehouse Barn. It is a really lovely, homely, welcoming place to stay. Plenty of sleeping options downstairs and up and a cosy living space. Also loads of seating areas outside which were perfect to enjoy the sun. The area is really quiet and peaceful and the location of the barn is extra secluded and private. As a final bonus, the attached spa area was a real treat after long walks (loads of which can start literally from the front door).

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.

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!

Daniel and Sharon were amazing hosts. Everything as advertised. Would definitely recommend them 👍🏼

We had such a lovely long weekend with our grown up children. The cottage was so relaxing . Lovely private grounds. Short walk to two private beaches . We really enjoyed having the optional hot tub and sauna . We played games in the garden , visited some lovely walks. A very chilled place. Ruth and Mark are great hosts. Thank you.

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

We arrived at Hylands for our stay at La’al cottage. It was exactly as you can see in the pictures a true reflection. The grounds are absolutely stunning private and we enjoyed a fire pit which was spectacular listening to birds and owls. Cottage is cosy and welcoming and we had a great stay thank you Emma and Craig. We loved it and will be back

We had a wonderful stay at Silver Howe, the cottage was perfect for exploring the Lakes. It was a real home from home with a handy local shop and pub. The private fenced garden was great as we had our dog with us, it also kept out the local sheep! Would recommend Rebecca’s place for a visit, it was clean, has great amenities and lots of character and charm. The lovely walk along the river to Elterwater is recommended, as is a stop at the Britannia Inn, the food was very good. Overall a great stay, thank you.

Wonderful stay in Staveley. The cottage was perfect and very well looked after and everything you need. The beds were so comfortable we didn’t want to get up! Perfect location for exploring the Lake District with a bus stop 1 minute walk from the cottage and bus service was very reliable. Very peaceful and great garden to relax in after a day of exploring. Would definitely recommend a stay here if you’re looking for a base in the Lake District.

We had a great stay at Hilltop, it's a lovely cottage. I was able to have breakfast outside every day of my stay which was a real luxury for me. We did some great hikes too venturing to the Borrowdale valley with its stunning views and even went down to the beach one day. Good communication with Natasha as well, would definitely reccomend.

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!

Alison is a delightful lady. So kind and helpful. Her cottage ( we stayed in Jemima Puddleduck) was very comfortable. Beds and pullows especially and all spotlessly clean. All we needed was provided Alison had thought of everything. We had a fantastic week. Thank you.

Such a lovely cottage!! We felt at home upon arrival and enjoyed every minute we spent in it. Our cat was very happy as well, entertained by all the birds and little animals he could watch from the windows. Location was great - nice little village but also a 10min drive to Cockermouth with plenty of options for shops and restaurants. We’d love to come back someday!

Sophie is an excellent host. The cottage barn was spotless and matched the description. A very cozy stay. We had perfect weather so were able to enjoy the patio every morning and evening. A perfect little get away in the countryside.

Location can’t be beat, with views of the mountains from the bedroom window, amazing walks from your doorstep (including the lake only minutes away) and the best pubs, cafes and bakeries down the road this is a fantastic Lake District base. We had a wonderful first visit to the area and loved Keswick and The Snug!

Absolutely beautiful cottage, the photos don't do this place justice! the interior has been throughly thought about and matches the cosy countryside vibes perfectly. Check in was easy, and the location being a short walk to Windermere was great. The home made brownies were a lovely touch too. We'll definitely be back!

This was very much a last minute booking. Only slight problem was finding the cottage. A number on the door would have helped immensely! Comfortable and clean which suited us perfectly.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. The house was perfect for our group, had everything you need and of course waking up to the beautiful views everyday was amazing. Great location for hiking, seeing the surrounding towns the lakes has to offer and also great local pubs within walking distance. Jonny and his family was so accomodating and welcoming and also kept us up to date with the weather and what hikes would be good to do. We will definitely be back and would 100% recommend this beautiful property. It really is a home away from home.

4 of us stayed at Penny's for 3 nights. Great stay-walkable to center of village-15 minute walk to Booth's (grocery). Fully stocked kitchen/Everything was super clean. Penny is great host.

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!!

Fantastic Stay at Snug Cottage in Threlkeld! My recent stay at Snug Cottage in Threlkeld was absolutely delightful, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the beautiful views. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and wonderfully comfortable. I particularly loved the big kitchen, which was well-equipped and made cooking a joy. If you're looking for a charming, clean, and well-appointed stay with stunning scenery, Snug Cottage in Threlkeld is an excellent choice.

We loved our stay here! We found the house very homely with a lot of care gone into providing guests with a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It was a beautiful location and great to step out the door for a walk up skiddaw.
