Meadowside Troutbeck Bridge, sleeps 5+1 on request
We had an amazing stay! The cottage was just as described and in the perfect location so we hardly had to use the car at all and were able to walk to Windermere, Bowness and Brockhole with our two girls ( 13 and 8). The use of the nearby pool was an added bonus after a day in the mountains. We’ll definitely be back! 😀

Langdale Cottage - 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms
This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!

Lodge by the Lake South Lakeland Leisure Village
The lodge was fabulous, really enjoyed our stay. I even picked up a couple of decor ideas. Had a lovely time feeding the ducks, swans and other wildlife, very relaxing. Shops and amenities easy to get to by car, lovely restaurants around the area. Would absolutely recommend.

Golden Rose
I'd stay at Jackie's place again whenever I next visit no question. Good price, and the place is exactly as she's described. And whenever I messaged her she always responded back to me within 30mins at most which is excellent

Autumn Wks Ambleside Sleep6 Mountain View Balcony
House was as described, beautiful setting with wonderful views of the hills and mountains. Rooms are spacious with comfy beds and bathrooms are nicely finished with good showers. Kitchen is a good size and has all required implements. A great location for exploring the central lakes and soaking up all that Ambleside has to offer.

Windermere - Private heated outdoor pool
Our family had a lovely stay at Burrowbank at the end of the summer holiday. The house is fantastic with all the facilities you could ask for. The kids loved the swings and most of all the pool, while the covered (heated) BBQ area meant evening meals outside watching the sunset. Great location and setting, very private and we would definitely come again and recommend to others. Martyn and Christine were very helpful and went the extra mile (even posting my daughter’s disposable camera that she left behind). Can’t think of any negatives and we made some great/happy memories.

Dormouse Cottage, Free access to Pool & Spa
great location and Whitbarrow village has so much to do with it's gym, crazy golf, theater, quiet pool, hot tub, sauna and bar. can't complain great value

Luxury Home with PRIVATE indoor pool
We stayed for 2 nights at Delanie's property to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. The house and it's facilities are amazing. The pool Hot Tub and bar area really make this an amazing place to celebrate birthday's and the like. Warm welcome and a great hamper upon check in and always on hand for any issues. Highly recommend this place if your looking for a luxury break away. Will be looking to return in the future.

Peaceful House in Kendal with views of Cumbria
Lovely place to stay. Exactly as described, easy to find and very clean. Ben was really friendly and is a great host

The Coach House - Lyth Valley by LetMeStay
Such a gorgeous stay away in Cumbria, the place was so tidy and cozy, it had everything you could need - so many amenities! It is located inbetween other buildings but still managed to feel very private, and had stunning views around. It is quite remote and is single track roads down to the property however the hosts were really clear and answered any questions about where we can park etc. It is also only a short drive to either Kendal or Windermere, so really convenient location for a nice day out! We can’t thank the hosts enough for such a lovely stay, would definitely recommend ☺️

Tethera: Eco-Luxury Passivhaus on Ullswater
Quite possibly the easiest air bnb to check into, absolutely immaculate and amazing location with the most stunning views!! Will 100% be returning!

BLUEBELL COTTAGE, Firbank, nr Sedbergh.
A great base for exploring the Dales and the Eastern Lake District. I did 2 wonderful sunny spring hillwalks from the doorstep and a further 3 within 40 mins by car. The cottage is exceedingly comfortable and a great blend of traditional decor and modern facilities, with highlights being the super comfortable bed, excellent new shower room and small but very well equipped kitchen. Thanks to Alexandra for the prompt response and short-notice booking, helpful instructions and extremely tasty cake, tea and coffee provided on arrival!

Robins Retreat
Spacious house walkable to the town centre - perfect location!

Lovely Two Bed Cottage in North Kendal
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cute, little house in Mount Street to anyone. It was just perfect for my husband and I, and our dog. It’s not obvious from the photos how nicely furnished this house is so we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The living area is bright and welcoming and the bi-fold doors out to the pretty terrace are great too. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside with a book, it felt very relaxing and nice and secluded. The entire house was spotlessly clean and the kitchen had everything you would need and more. We were only here for a couple of days so didn’t see much of Kendal but what we did see we liked. There are lots of open grassy areas where we walked our dog before venturing further to the lakes. We also found some nice farm shops nearby. The house is well situated for anyone wanting to explore the area in the south of the lakes or if you want to head further north, like we did, Buttermere is around an hour and a half away Highly recommend!

Stoat Cottage
Me and my partner had a lovely few day at Cockin farm. Although there’s often things going on we never felt in the way and their neighbour was very kind, he once moved a whole herd of sheep so we could drive through! 😂 Emily herself was very kind and allowed us to leave whenever we were ready which helped us pack and have a last peaceful morning. I’d highly recommend coming here to anyone looking for the perfect place in the Lake District as the beauty was hard to put in words. It was both an adventure but I also felt at home. She also had left us some lovely homemade cookies, milk from the farm, and honey from their own bees! 😁

Near Todd - Outskirts of Kendal with a garden
The location and cottage were magical. It's our first visit to the Lake District and we were blown away by the natural beauty everywhere we looked. The cottage was extremely comfortable for a family of 5 plus a dog. It's central for all the lakes. Thank you for hosting us. Perfect.

Spacious period five bed, four bath with parking
We recently enjoyed a wonderful short break in Kendal, staying in a house that exceeded all our expectations. The property was incredibly large and spacious, providing ample room for everyone to relax and unwind. It was also well-furnished, with comfortable and stylish decor that made us feel right at home. The location was ideal, situated close to some lovely pubs, including the charming Romney. We loved being able to stroll to the local shops and the town centre, which made exploring Kendal so convenient. Whether we were looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a drink or a place to pick up some local goods, everything was just a short walk away. Overall, our stay in Kendal was fantastic, and we highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base to explore this beautiful area.

The Big House, 5* Luxury, 7 Bedrooms
Great stay, the Big House at Heaning estate was a beautiful home. The views were stunning at the house itself was beautiful and th perfect setting for our family weekend trip

Panoramic Views & Spacious Living by LetMeStay
Nice clean cottage in a peaceful location. Host was very responsive to pre-check in requests. Great couple days had in Grasmere.

The Annex, La Sagesse
We had a wonderful stay at Andrew’s place. The house is full of charm, combining historic character with modern comforts. Everything was spotless, well-equipped, and thoughtfully arranged. The location was peaceful yet well-connected, making it a great base for exploring the Lake District. Check-in was smooth with clear instructions, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. Andrew was responsive and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area — we’d definitely stay again!

Hawkhow Cottage, Glenridding
A beautiful house in a lovely setting, great for family get togethers, location right on the lake was amazing, & easy access to lovely local town of Glenridding for essentials. Wide range of facilities at the cottage, we really enjoyed the private outdoor eating area next with the wood fired outdoor grill. Very nice well appointed kitchen with quality appliances, bathrooms clean and with quality fittings. Outside garden/woodland area was perfect for us and our dog, although the many steps and steep paths would not suit everyone, but this factor is clearly explained in the information host provides. We found some rooms a little dark, especially on a rainy day but there are some lovely lamps which can be moved around if required. Overall I would recommend this cottage as a great place to stay & enjoy the lake district and all it has to offer.

Modern Luxury between the Dales & Lakes NPs
Claire is always responsive each time I messaged her. She went the extra mile to ensure that we were able to book our stay at her place. Having elderly parents, i needed a place where my parents would be most comfortable after a 17hr journey. Claire’s place really felt like home away from home. Thank you Claire!

Lake District house with balconies & stunning view
Excellent host and super helpful in terms of offering early check in and late check out. The place is beautiful. She had kept all the necessities handy. So 5 ⭐️

Little Lambs Luxury Lodge
A beautiful little retreat, in a perfect location to go and explore the local attractions. White Scar Cave and the waterfall trail are both well worth a visit. Only a short drive to the Lake District too. Carly is an amazing host who goes above and beyond with all the extra little touches, she has thought of everything to make your stay so easy and comfortable. The Lodge is spotlessly clean and smells amazing. we will definitely be returning.
