Cottage holiday rentals in Skelwith Bridge

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!

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 home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

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

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

Teapot Cottage is a beautiful place to stay. It was very well kitted out, decorated very nicely, and had lots of nice touches to make our stay even better. Lammisa was a great host - very responsive and friendly, and was happy to help whenever needed. There's great local amenities within walking distance, and several local villages and towns within a short drive, including Ennerdale Lake. The place was very comfortable, with plenty of seating indoor and out, with several comfy beds suitable for a group of adults. The only thing to be aware of is that the bedroom with the bunk beds has very little storage space, so if you're staying for a few days and have a large bag/suitcase - you'll need to find somewhere else to put it! Overall - we were all very pleased with this stay and we'd definitely book again in future.

Perfect stay from start to end. It rained when we stayed but that didn’t matter as we spent time in the hot tub under the shelter and the barn was really cosy. Very clean and felt like home. I can’t wait to come back :)

This house is gorgeous, such a high standard and so many lovely little touches. The location is great, we walked into Lancaster along the path next to the house and the pub at the end of the road was lovely. The hot tub was a really nice end to our days.

Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommended! We had an excellent stay at this lovely property. It was very spacious, spotlessly clean, and had so many thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. This included the pint of milk and washing-up liquid provided on arrival and the great selection of games for the kids, everything was well thought out. The kitchen was well-equipped with really nice cutlery, and we appreciated the little extras throughout the house. The location was fantastic too—surrounded by beautiful spots to explore and very close to local attractions. Overall, a perfect place for a relaxing getaway with family. We’d definitely recommend it to others and would love to visit again!

What an absolute gem we found in Apple House. The pictures really don't do the whole place justice! A cosy, romantic house set in beautiful, serene surroundings. It really was the perfect location for our mini moon! Was lovely to be greeted by the chickens and Russel the dog each morning <3 We were treated to some tasty welcome gifts and the place was spotless, very comfy bed and just the most charming decor. Thank you so much Emma and Craig! We will definitely be returning with more of our family!

Thank you for a great stay, incredibly clean and lovely little place. Great location, nothing too far away and could walk to local hotspots. Would highly recommend, thank you again.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage on Wastwater. The setting is stunning — right on the lake and surrounded by beautiful walking routes, perfect for exploring with our 18-month-old and dog. The cottage is tucked away on a peaceful farm with a great outdoor seating area to enjoy the views. It’s quite remote, with the nearest proper shop about 30 minutes away, but the nearby campsite shop (just half a mile down the road) had the essentials we needed. Other than that, everything was perfect. A truly relaxing break in a beautiful location — we’d definitely recommend it!

Great house in a great location. Walks from the door and easy access to the rest of the Lakes via the 555 bus which stops nearby for car free days. Local pub, cafe, chip shop etc are all worth a visit too. Everything you need is in the house, parking was no problem outside.

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!

We absolutely 💯 loved our short stay at Nursery end cottage. It was perfect. Warm, comfortable & cosy. It had everything you could think of. We were welcomed with a lovely welcome pack & thankyou card. The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful area surrounded by sheep and hills. We chose to stay here as it wasn't far from Scafell pike. I would recommend to anyone to stay in this cottage and would definitely book it again. It's just beautiful. We only wish we could of stayed longer.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Great to have a view of Coniston Lake. Cottage was extremely comfortable and homely & had everything needed for our stay. Martin’s instructions to find and access the cottage were very comprehensive which really helped. Martin also provided lots of information on places to eat and visit and responded well to any issues. Coniston is an ideal location to access the Lakes and would recommend the area and Martin’s cottage to others. Would love to return one day.

We had a lovely relaxing stay in Angela's high-end cottage.. Excellent location for walking. Peaceful, light sitting room (on 1st floor) with lovely views of the hills. Great beds. Warm house. Good showers. Easy walk down into town, and up into the Coppermine's Valley (gateway to the Coniston fells).

A gem . Incredible location , with breathtaking scenery.Situated on walking path , so various mountain trails on door step . Easy to walk into Ambleside , where there is a great choice of pubs and restaurants. Property is beautiful and incredibly well kitted out … charcoal for the BBQ/ logs for fire/ extensive kitchen equipment etc. Very comfortable. Would love to be lucky enough to get back some day .

We stayed for a week in Fox Corner for our mini moon and it was perfect for our needs - location couldn’t get better for visiting all of the local spots and there are so many beautiful walks right from the front door. Our pooch was also very comfortable and we appreciated the doggie bed and towel! Dave was so responsive and helpful when we had a minor issue during our stay. We enjoyed the hot tub after coming back from a busy day exploring. Fox Corner had all the bits we needed to have a cosy and comfortable stay. We would definitely return!

Beautiful cottage in a great location We had a lovely 3 night stay and enjoyed visiting Ambleside & Bowness There’s some amazing views The hot tub was amazing the seating area outside could do with a clean Just a few little downsides to our stay The cottage is dog friendly we visited with my sister and Moms dogs and the gardens where not secure they had open fencing. Inside the cottage there where a lot of cobwebs around most windows and up corners of ceilings. We didn’t cook at the cottage as we ate out but the microwave and oven were not the cleanest. The bathrooms could do with some hand soap as most places I’ve visited before provide this. On day of departure it is requested that you strip the beds the duvet on our bed had a very large stain on maybe it would be an idea to use duvet protectors It’s not the cleanest of places it needs some TLC, however we did not spend much time at the cottage so didn’t disrupt our visit to the lakes.

We enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage, everything was as described and communication/check in was very good - Ross let us know when the cottage had been cleaned so we could arrive earlier than check in which was appreciated. The location was great, walks from the door step, 10 min to the pub (don’t miss the path tucked to the side of the road) and close enough to Hawkshead. A couple of things to note… The property was a little noisy. With the living room and kitchen on the middle floor it was very creaky in the bedrooms below, with two young children going to bed before us this was something we were conscious of but didn’t stop them falling asleep in the end. We also had bad weather when we were there, the wind was rattling the loft hatch next to the master bedroom which did impact sleep one night. We took our dog with us and the house was very comfortable. For small dogs please note there are gaps under the gates in the garden that our miniature dachshund could get under.

Amazing place to stay! Caroline has brilliant communication and eased all of our doubts prior to our trip; great location, amazing views, lots to do. Caroline’s place is so clean, super comfy beds, modern bathroom and kitchen, amazing amenities, just the perfect place. Would highly recommend!

Great lovely little cottage that was very homely and a great place to relax after exploring the lakes! The village of elterwater is lovely and peaceful and so much to do you could nearly get away without going off on the car anywhere as there is a regular bus service that runs every hour! We all said we would defiantly stay again if we was to come to the Lake District as this place had every thing you needed! We would def recommend 👍👍 Thanks for a lovely stay
