Foxwood Cottage, In the heart of Borrowdale

ClareRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We absolutely loved our stay at Foxwood Cottage. The location is truly breathtaking, with stunning views from every window and corner of the garden. Waking up to the sound of the river and birdsong was such a treat. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a BnB with such beautiful surroundings. The cottage itself is cosy, welcoming, and well-equipped with everything you could need. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and we all slept so well. There are also two fantastic pubs nearby — The Yew Tree and The Langstrath Country Inn — both serving delicious food and have a friendly atmosphere. A brilliant stay from start to finish. Thank you so much!

A view is captured from an open doorway, revealing a vibrant green landscape framed by a wooden fence. Inside, a red sofa is complemented by a checkered blanket. The warm wood flooring contrasts with the soft carpet, creating a cozy entryway atmosphere.

Cottage in Loweswater

The Place, Loweswater. Utter tranquillity.

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay at The Place. The location is breathtaking, and the house itself is perfect - every detail is beautiful and well thought-out, and Lucy had provided anything one could think of. Everything was of very high quality, from the bed linen and towels to the kitchen equipment. We were all adults, but if you have children, there are lots of toys, games, and activities, so that even on rainy days, there is plenty to do. Great walks nearby, perfect both for those who like hills and those who prefer flatter ground - Buttermere and Crummock are wonderful low ground walks, and of course the walk though Holme Woods to the Kirkstile is lovely. Thanks, Lucy and Nick!

Grange Bridge Cottage

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Just WOW!! Blown away by how beautiful GBC is. Spotlessly clean, everything you need, and fantastic interior design. We have taken away some great ideas for our own homes. Location is the best…we didn’t have to get in the car, always a bonus. We hiked, cycled and swam (in the river) straight from the house. Views sitting in the garden are breathtaking and every evening, after an active day, we soothed our muscles in the hot tub with the fire pit on the go. We visited some lovely pubs within walking or cycling distance. Can’t wait to return…GBC definitely one of our happy places. Thank you so much Gavin and Viv.

A well-lit staircase is shown, featuring a clean and modern design with white banisters and a neutral carpet. A piece of framed artwork adorns the wall, enhancing the ambiance. The walls are painted in a soft white tone, creating an airy and open feel.
