12 Ullswater Suite - Whitbarrow Village
Fantastic place to stay in wonderful area. Everything was as described. Ideal for visiting and spending time in the Lake District Area. Just stunning! Many thanks ....

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!

Badgers Rest, near Keswick. Access to Pool & Spa
We have just returned from a lovely weekend at Badgers Rest. The home was beautifully clean, had everything we needed and in a great location. The facilities were amazing nearby too.

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.

Sleep 6 with swim & gym, free parking
Absolutely stunning property, clean, comfortable and extremely well presented, wish we’d stayed longer, we will return. Thanks Cathy for being a great host.

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.

Myley Ghyll, Spectacular views, Troutbeck
We had a wonderful stay. The house is blessed with simply stunning views over Troutbeck valley and of the mountains beyond. It’s such a peaceful and quiet location in a lovely quaint village which has a couple of good pubs and a great cafe. There’s a good sized garden. Inside the house is beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. There’s loads to do in the area and for a hiker’s that love the lakes like I do, it’s paradise. We had a very relaxing stay. Laik provided an excellent digital guide with lots of useful information and their communication was excellent; they were very attentive and responsive. We would love to come back

Holmdale – Central Ambleside
Very comfortable and cosy place. Easy communication. Lovely bedrooms, fantastic en suite bathroom. Well equipped kitchen - kids loved the hot chocolate maker. The location is wonderfully central in Ambleside which itself is the best spot for exploring the whole Lakes area. Parking permit for local car park and the 1 hour parking outside the front door is perfect when arriving and leaving. Great stay thank you

The Sparrow Cottage Mire house
We had a wonderful stay here and made amazing memories. The surroundings were stunning, and we felt right at home. We loved the cottage and the little touches made the stay even better - the brownies were to die for. Rosie was a great host, and we’d love to come back in the near future.

Gale Lodge Stables, Ambleside, Sleeps 2
It was our first family trip away and one we won’t forget. We had such a wonderful time and the house was perfect for us. Amazing location and had everything we needed. Thanks so much!

Cosy Ambleside Cottage
We had a great stay at Joseph’s house. Check-in was very easy, the house was very clean and well-equipped with tea, coffee and even dog treats. Beds were really comfy and the place itself was so central. We’d definitely stay here again!

The Retreat - Luxury Home, Ambleside!
We were a party of 3 couples; large cosy sitting room, all 3 bedrooms were spacious with excellent storage. Has recently been tastefully refurbed and is in fabulous condition. Is in a quiet residential road only a couple of minutes walk to shops, restaurants, pubs etc. We've been visiting the Lakes for decades and stayed in a variety of accommodation and this was a cut above the norm.

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.

Mickledor Cottage Windermere stunning garden views
Wow, wow, wow. Absolutely perfect! Delightful cottage in a peaceful, private location but a short distance from Windermere and Bowness. The property was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Stunning views. We are already planning our next stay!

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 ☺️

Greenthorn
This is just a stunning place - situated in a beautiful valley with views of the far mountains. House was full of character, all amenities we wanted were there, and just loved being able to walk from the house.

The Ullswater View
We have just returned home from 4 nights at Julie's ex-guesthouse and we absolutely loved it. We were a group of 5 adults, a 9 year old and 18 month old and there was space for all of us. Each room has its own ensuite and the kitchen is well stocked. The whole place was very clean and the utility room is also massive which helps if you need to do any washing while staying there. We will definitely look to use Julie's place again in the future. Julie replied in good time to any messages and is very friendly. Highly recommend as a great place to get around the Lakes from too.

Carriage House, Luxury Cottage in Windermere
A really lovely Airbnb set in a lovely location conveniently situated about 15 minutes walk from Windermere town Centre We found the property to be exactly as described in the reviews and we couldn’t fault the place.Everything we needed was at hand and the amenities at the property were really excellent.. The house was spotlessly clean, modern and excellently maintained. We found the lovely secluded garden a lovely place to meet for afternoon/evening drinks in the sunshine.. We did experience very cool and inclement weather for the month of June and the addition of Sky/Netflix TV and central heating a great addition for our holiday.. The host was very accommodating and easy to contact at the end of a text or a telephone call. Would I recommend this property? Absolutely !! It’s just a really lovely Airbnb

Luxury Studio with Private Bathroom
Lovely to return to Sarah’s place, highly recommend!

Stylish Apartment for four in Bowness
I don't think we could have found anywhere better to stay in Bowness-on-Windermere. The apartment is very spacious and immaculately clean. It is fully equipped, well furnished and tastefully decorated. An electrical fault with the boiler was resolved soon after arrival by the owner with good communication through our host Hannah. The location is excellent within easy walk to all shops, bars and restaurants and there is a bus stop outside the door. The car parking space was also very useful. I highly recommend you stay here. An excellent, comfortable and quiet apartment convenient to all you need. Great shower, comfortable beds and plenty of towels provided. Highly recommended.

Riverside Cottage with secure bike storage
Really comfortable cottage, very well equipped in a great location. Easy to get to local attractions and great walks from the door. Close enough to visit the lakes but far enough away from hustle and bustle. Would definitely recommend.
