Cottage vacation rentals in Gosforth

Really helpful host and lovely location!

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

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

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

We couldn’t have asked for a better place and friendlier helpful host. Kathryn was attentive and was very responsive, always friendly and helpful. This cottage is very spacious, modern and clean. We really enjoyed our time here. We are already planning when to go back. The views from the windows and the hot tub are beautiful. There is so much to do, we needed much longer to explore more areas and go on more walks. We would definitely recommend this place.

Just returned for a few days away with friends. The place is stunning with a lot of space! Everything was as described if not better. Nicola is a great host, replies quickly and was very helpful. We all had a great time and would 100% recommend to others. Thank you.

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!

Perfect. Clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped. A great location and responsive host. Highly recommend.

The cottage was ideal for our four night visit to the area with two young children. The cottage was clean, pretty, and comfortable, with thoughtful notes around the house to make everything easy to find. The lovely window seat overlooking the river was a favourite spot and the gorgeous garden were we could eat outside watching the wildlife over the river was perfect and so peaceful! The folder of useful places to visit was super handy and the children loved the local walks and in particular the fabulous tea room (great menu for adults and children). It’s only 30 minutes to the bottom of the lakes and caves and waterfalls within 20min meant there was lots to see for us as a young family. Claire was really helpful in her recommendations and she has a friendly neighbour who was happy to guide us too. The village is a lovely community of welcoming people. The children particularly loved the house for the river, the games room and the treats that Claire left in the kitchen to welcome us!

We spent a week at The End and had a great time, the views were beautiful and the cottage is much bigger than the photos show, plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 kids. Great location for most of the Lake District. Would highly recommend and would come back. Kids really enjoyed the swing in the garden.

We had an amazing stay. The cottage is right by the beach. Very comfortable, fully equipped. Great shower and beds really comfy. We brought out 2 cairns who loved the direct access to the beach out of the back door. Small enclosed back yard with outside tap to clean sandy paws. It was my birthday and the host also left a birthday card, flowers and homemade cake. We loved the place and will be coming back.

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!

The cottage was stunning and in a beautiful setting, ideally located for getting to and around the lake. Highly recommend for a family get away for beautiful scenery and tranquility.

Beautiful properly in an even more beautiful location. Excellently priced. Could not recommend more!

Stunning location and brilliant accommodation. An excellent host, we’ll be looking to book again.

What a gem! Beautiful inside and out. Charming decoration, equipped with everything you could need. Superb, peaceful location with great access to walks and pubs. Lovely little garden for sunnier days and a cosy wood burner for when the weather (inevitably) changes. Felt very at home. Hope to return 🤞

We really enjoyed our stay, perfect getaway for a couple and so close to the local amenities. Centre of town less than 5 minute walk and not much longer to walk to Derwent water. Hosts left some delicious home made brownies and were super helpful with questions. Free parking pass in local car parks as no parking on the road. Cottage is on a small busy road so a bit noisy at times and loading up to leave was tricky. Overall we highly recommend this cottage, we felt so at home and really enjoyed the open log fire which was made up and ready to light.

My wife and I stayed 4 nights at Crook a Beck Barn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property. It is well equipped, with a great kitchen, plenty of wardrobe space and a large walk in shower alongside a large bath. It is in a peaceful setting with beautiful views and has all levels of walks available straight from the property. We enjoyed the extras especially the lemon drizzle cake made by Judith. We will definitely books this property again on our next visit to Patterdale.

Lovely stay, accomodation was clean and had everything we needed, lots of useful bits in the cupboards! Some great recommendations for walks, the lake district never disappoints even when it's wet! The accomodation was great to come back to to warm up after long walks and relax! Thank you Leah, can't wait to be back!

Loved loved loved this stay!! It was so gorgeous and decorated so nicely. The place felt light and airy yet cost in the evenings. The heating was easy to work and the place warmed up very quickly even without the fire which is essential for my girlfriend because she’s always cold. The bed was super comfy and clean, and the robes were a really nice touch. Jennifer as a host was super friendly and responsive! We felt right at home as soon as we arrived. The location was perfect and it was easy to walk to Cartmel village through the fields which cut out walking on the country roads (though they were generally not busy anyway!). Cartmel is a lovely place with nice cafes, pubs and some very fancy restaurants. Overall it was a very special stay for our anniversary - made even more special by the bubbly left for us when we arrived. We would recommend anyone looking for a quite and relaxing few days. Thank you Jennifer!

We had a wonderful stay. The place is so cozy with beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked with proper utensils. The beds are very comfortable too.

Karen was really helpful throughout booking and helped make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the cottage and the surrounding village was perfect for our trip to the lakes.
