Kid-friendly vacation rentals in South Lakeland District

We did a lot of different activities in the Lake district but the house was the highlight of our trip, we’d have been happy just to spend the whole time in the house. The house has been designed to get the most out of the views and the decor is amazing too, it is really clean and feels brand new. I’d say it is definitely worth paying a bit more to stay here over anywhere else in the local area, and we will be returning at some point in the future, we miss the house already. Also Team Laik and the owners are all fantastic, communicate well and make everything easy, so if you haven’t used Airbnb before I’d go with these, you can use the messaging system on the app and get a response almost straight away should you have any questions.

Lovely house, great views, within 30 mins drive to all main south lakes sights. Communication and check in all very easy and clear. We had a great stay :)

Great accommodation in a quiet location with good access to the Eastern and Northern Fells. Super-clean and comfortable with everything that we needed for a self catering holiday in the Lake District. The hosts were lovely. Always available if required but very ‘light-touch’; the perfect balance. Couldn’t be better.

We had a wonderful stay! Communication was great from the start, and the home itself is absolutely beautiful, cosy, warm, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel really special. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower was excellent too. Sarah, her husband, and Joey were so lovely and welcoming, and their gorgeous dog made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this stay, would love to come back!

We had a lovely stay. The space was thoughtfully laid out with lots of added extras. Rachael was very responsive and helpful with our questions. Would definitely recommend.

We’re just home after a very lovely stay in the most beautiful location. Louise communicated well and provided us with a pristine place to stay with everything we could wish for to make us feel at home. The apartment has the most amazing views from every room and is very comfortable and well equipped. There are so many lovely places to visit in the area, some walkable from the accommodation, that we definitely need to visit again. We would have no hesitation in recommending this air bnb - it’s one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you Louise and Mick 😊

we really enjoyed our stay at Michelle's cottage, it was just as advertised: cosy, three comfy bedrooms, nice kitchen dining and living room so we could sit and chat! really handy for town and close to nice cafes, brew brothers and comida being our favourites. Michelle gave us clear instructions and was quick to respond to questions, and we were grateful for the option of paying for a late checkout. thank you!

A beautiful spot for a break in The Lakes. Emma’s accommodation was wonderful and was exactly as described - we felt right at home and settled straight in. When it’s time for us to return to Kendal, again, I hope Emma’s place will be available for us to book :)

Enjoyed our stay at Kate's place for a second visit. Has all the amenities we needed and we can feel very relaxed there. Kate was very helpful with our booking. She dealt very promptly with one minor maintenance issue. She's a thoughtful host and there were fresh flowers, milk and biscuits to welcome us. We enjoyed chatting to Kate. Will definitely hope to visit again. Alison

Loved everything about the place, will definitely be coming back host was very helpful

Great caravan in a perfect location, not far from Windermere with a bus stop outside so easy to travel around. Clean, has everything we need with views across rolling sheep fields as an added bonus. Liz is very friendly and helpful, she put a bus timetable out for us and a always responds to messages quickly.

We know the area well and stay often, but it was nice to stay at an Air BnB for a change. We needed somewhere safe to park our motorbike and it was nicely tucked away. Had the best sleep we've had in ages and would totally recommend the fab little basement flat.

This place was a cool find. While being situated in a fairly old building (in keeping with the surrounding village) it has been recently renovated and felt cosy and modern, without being garish - just right we thought. Parking is available nearby but you may need to walk a wee way, not a problem for us, and there is a short term spot right by the door to the flat to unload your stuff. We forgot to sign the guest book (oops) but enjoyed our stay, and clearly others have too. If you're travelling to the Lakes District or plan to visit nearby Windermere and Keswick, this is a great base to start from. Thank you for letting us stay!

This bijpu bedsit is perfect for a single person. Peaceful and private, and with everything I needed. The bed was really comfortable, and the whole place was immaculately clean. I was really happy to see environmental measures in place. The location is perfect - spot on for accessing this part of the Lakes, with so many beautiful spots within easy driving distance. Kath's communications were clear and friendly and fast. I would recommend this accommodation and its owners without hesitation.

What a fabulous few days me and my boys had ..I’ve never seen them so relaxed (ages 35 and 37 )x I think it was the lovely energy we felt in the beautiful Nest xx looking out over the river each morning set us up for the day. Would recommend 100% , we had everything we needed ..I couldn’t fault it ..the bedrooms immaculate and the beds /bedding were soft clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the gym and pool offer also x staff there were lovely at the Swan Hotel. Thank you xx

One of my best stays… Location is s great, 15 minutes walk to the center. Check-in instructions were very clear The apartment is well decorated with a lot of nice touch… Lovely bathroom with sunshine and a perfect shower… Gina is extraordinarily welcoming… I felt home, All those compliments were so nice and thoughtful Thanks to Gina for everything Highly recommended!

Had a lovely two night stay, beautiful surroundings, peaceful, clean and comfortable. Able to walk to local shop and pub. Scafell Pike, beach and The Lakes not far by car Great host, good communication

Great host who responded to any communication swiftly and reassuringly. Property is superb with individual querks which make it unique. Magical information given to us beforehand which was of great value. Thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Viv and Ernie were very welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

Lovely stay, exactly as described, clean, comfortable and everything we needed. This apartment was a great base for some wonderful days outs. Thanks Paul

Fabulous few days staying at the Ironworks. Apartment was beautiful and lovely extra touches such as welcome hamper and toiletries. Lucky with the weather and so made the most of some fabulous walks in the area. Would definitely stay again.

lovely apartment which was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great central location with fantastic public transport near by. Lottie had sent some reccomendations to visit and places to eat. Like most places Mondays are tricky finding a restaurant open. Everything was great and Lottie was a kind and responsive host who left us gorgeous local goodies to ear, much appreciated

We absolutely loved our stay at Chris & Lottie’s apartment! The flat was spotlessly clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated it felt so welcoming the moment we walked in. The little goodies left for us were such a sweet and thoughtful touch. The location was perfect for visiting Windermere, Ambleside, and all the scenic gems of the Lake District. And the balcony… what an amazing view over Kendal town! It was the perfect spot to relax in the evenings. A truly lovely stay — definitely a 5-star experience. 😊

What a lovely flat in sleepy Sedbergh! Great location and very peaceful. The flat is so comfortable with the softest carpets too. Lots of extra towels and bedding available. A very well equipped kitchen and a lovely feeling of calm as soon as we stepped inside. Everything was really well thought out and very clean. We stayed for two nights but will definitely stay again and for longer next time. Amy very kindly extended our check out time and always responded to questions quickly. I highly recommend visiting Sedbergh and staying in this stunning little flat!
