Kid-friendly holiday rentals in River Eden

First Cottage is beautifully situated, incredibly quiet with stunning views. Cottage was comfortably furnished and immaculately clean. We had everything we needed for our stay in generous amounts, nothing felt skimped or compromised. Janice and David were perfect, generous hosts, responding promptly to queries without ever being intrusive.

We had a lovely couple nights at Margaret’s place! It was so homely , clean and quiet. I would happily stay again

We had a lovely stay at Tethera Nook with our dog Luna! Emma and Craig were brilliant and it was lovely to see them working so hard on their gorgeous garden while we were there! It provided a lovely place to sit with a drink in the mornings! Their very friendly dog Capone always happy to come and say hello! It felt very private the whole week, walking distance to Kendal town, and we even hiked up to Scouts Scar which was recommended in the guide book (the views definitely did not disappoint). Tethera nook had everything we needed for our stay and with it being extremely hot the fan was an added bonus in keeping us and our dog cool! The eggs and veg that Emma leaves out is incredible and the little gifts of brownies, gin and jams on our arrival kept us going for the whole week! Everything was just perfect for our relaxing week away in the lakes, with close links to the rest of the national park! We would absolutely stay here again!

Fabulous home from home, within walking distance of the town, great local pubs with top class food. Lots of Bus routes to some great places and beautiful walks, what a great place many thanks for letting us stay

I had a wonderful stay at Sharu's place! The space was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Sharu was a responsive and thoughtful host, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. The neighborhood was quiet, beautiful and conveniently located near everything I needed. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area and would happily stay here again!

Had a great stay here. The house is big and comfortable with plenty of space. It’s in a quiet, peaceful spot, which was perfect for getting away. The grounds are nice with a river nearby and lots of open space. There are some good walks around the area too. Beds were comfy and the place had everything we needed. It was also easy to get food delivered from the local Sainsbury’s. Overall, just a really nice, easy stay.

Perfect location. 10/10. I did not want to leave. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, unbelievable views, superb location, easy access to logs for fire with which my husband was delighted. 100% would return... tomorrow if it was possible! Our dog (border terrier) had a fantastic time too and was very interested in the wee hedgehog who appeared to be living in the bushes outside and the free range chickens!! There was also a free range doggo popping round to the garden in the evening. Vigilance/ Lead/ supervision was a must for our super inquisitive pup.

The Lodge was exactly as described with everything I needed. It was located in a lovely and peaceful part of the country, which was within their grounds. The lodge was closer to their home than I thought but this wasn't an issue for me at all. The enclosed garden space was a bonus and my dog loved it! The cake was a lovely touch too. The local town wasn't too far away and pubs were dog friendly which was great. A lovely relaxing break.

We had a lovely stay; the location is wonderful, surrounded by farmland with baby lambs overlooking the seating area! The apartment is very well specced and looked after, with a small garden house further up the hill opposite and an amazing river a short walk across the fields where we went for a swim. The photos do not do the property justice, it is a gem. Would definitely come back to use as a quiet base to explore the lakes from again.

This was one of those places that you would wish to keep a secret. The views are breathtaking, the area is quiet, perfect for a retreat for people willing to charge their batteries from their busy lives. It's a bit off the beaten track, so you need a car or a taxi from the train station to get there, but you can rest from the busy touristic towns of the Lake District. Jeanette was a very discreet and lovely host. She furbished the place with great care. Thank you Jeanette for hosting us, your place was a dream come true!

Simply a perfect stay at Tann's place - the space has everything you need and I love the Hadrian's Wall theme. Check in instructions probably the most comprehensive I've seen on AirBnB and Tann was professional and kind with all comms. Thank you for a lovely stay - this will definitely be my first choice if I'm ever in the area again

Great place to stay if you want to explore surrounding area, including Ullswater. The accommodation exceeded my expectations, which contributed to our stay. Pauline, the host was extremely helpful and accommodating. My family and I would return in a heart beat.

Loved Leigh-Ann's place, it felt so homely and is beautifully finished. She was also really helpful when we left our son's comforter behind. Thank you for a lovely stay

This was a great find. Alison has catered for every little detail - experience built up over many years. The generosity of the welcome hamper and milk in the fridge was really appreciated. We had two excellent evening meals at the Milecastle Inn and would thoroughly recommend, as Alison had.

The Granary was a lovely spot to stay and chill. Great amenities in the property and lovely and peaceful. Nice touches including the food for the birds! Highly recommend.

Beautiful, clean, light and complete apartment. Everything you need and more, comfortable bed, nicely decorated and clean. The appartment was the best we stayed at during our UK road trip!

Angela’s attention to detail was something else. If you are looking for a convenient place to stay off the m6 then reach out to Angela

This is a beautifully situated property set amongst a number of properties overlooking Ullswater and the mountains beyond; just like the images suggest. The property was easy to find and all the instructions were crytsal clear, with one parking space adjacent to the property and another not far away. The accomodation was very clean and comfortable with everything that we needed. The utility room outside is super handy for drying and storing muddy and wet gear. We were there for only two nights to undertake the MacMillan Lake District Mighty Hike on the Saturday. The Brackenrigg Inn is a short walk downhill towards the Lake and has good food and beer. We would defintely stay again and recommend this place for anyone wanting access to Ullswater and the surrounding area.

Glyn was so helpful. Initially I was overwhelmed with the instructions as I was so anxious about travelling with a vision impaired partner. Glynn’s instructions were very easy to follow, I worried unnecessarily, and Glyn went out of his way to assist me with our baggage, local restaurants etc. The apartment was wonderful and the stay enjoyable. Highly recommend the property to any prospective travellers

The Barn really is a gem. We were amazed as we arrived how beautiful and peaceful the surroundings were. Kate gave clear instructions how to get there which was really helpful as we found other times on our trip the sat nav led us astray! The barn is so cosy and beautifully furnished, you can tell it’s been done with love and is stylish but very practical too. Had everything we needed for our weekend stay. After a wet day out walking coming back to a hot shower and putting on the wood burner was amazing! We loved our stay and would absolutely come back.

Fab host with a fab house. True home from home. Highly recommended !

Amazing stay in a beautifully situated old mill. A great location for walking and exploring the higher lakes. The hosts were so lovely, responsive and accommodating with great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

The place was so nice and perfect for our needs. As a family, the facilities were a great addition, such as pool, pub onsite, games etc! The apartment was perfect for kids as it had games and other things such as highchair and cot. The view was lovely and terrace huge!

Great little apartment, David was an amazing host - very clear and always responded quickly to any questions. For the price it exceeded expectations
