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, lots for the kids to do. Would definitely return.

Luxury Home with PRIVATE indoor pool
Absolutely stunning. We stayed for 2 nights to celebrate my 40th. Me and my family had the best time. We had so much fun in the bar, playing pool and watching movies. As for the pool and hot tub..... wow! It was just absolutely brilliant. we all had the best time. the house itself was stunning, cozy and comfortable. Delanie you were just wonderful . I loved how we were able to make ourselves feel right at home. Living like superstars for a weekend. Thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 ☺️

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!

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!

Home near Lake District - Pet friendly, Parking+EV
Great place to stay if you are visiting the Kendal area

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! 😁

Period cottage-15 mins to Windermere+parking+gdn
We had a wonderful stay at Sonal’s, Kendal is the perfect place to stay to visit the beautiful Lakes area. The home was well equipped and comfortable, walking distance into the town and Sonal had great local recommendations.

Dog-Friendly - Lamb Cottage *7 night discount*
The host was lovely, offering to help with anything we needed. A really lovely 2 bedroom house with a good size kitchen that had everything that you’d have at home, nice and clean too. A few lovely touches with biscuits and wine on our arrival. Considering the house is so close to the shops and restaurants it was nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend staying here, and would definitely book it again.

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

1 bedroom bolt hole in the heart of the Dales
Spent a joyous week at Chantal's place in Bainbridge. It was cute, cosy, comfortable, quiet, stylish and well-appointed. Chantal was very attentive and had loads of great recommendations. Bainbridge is excellently situated for exploring the northern Dales and there are great walks to be had starting out from the village itself: the gentle climb up to tranquil Semer Water was a particular highlight.

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

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

Sunnyside Cottage
A lovely little cottage in the heart of the village, very welcoming in both pubs. A lovely neighbour Jackie, told us lots about the village and things to do, have a chat with him. Great communication from Steph and Ant before our and during our stay, even messaged to say the cottage was available early and we could go in. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this cottage.

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!

The Warren - Modern town-centre duplex apartment
Really excellent stay, such a great space with lots of room. Was perfect for our stay of 6 adults and 3 kids. Very convenient location to Kendal, everything right on the doorstep. Enitre property was spotless. Parking really good too with a car port! which made access nice and easy.

Modern Luxury between the Dales & Lakes NPs
Claire was an absolute dear! She was really helpful, was very accommodating, her home was beautiful, lovely sheep theme, and had lots of map and guide that was helpful, the neighbourhood was lovely! just a great place to stay
