Cottage holiday rentals in Pooley Bridge

Really helpful host and lovely location!

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Beautiful location for a lovely farm stay, great views from the hot tub! Loved being able to watch the cows and sheep. Claire was lovely and was ready to help at any moment despite us arriving so late at night! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Had a lovely 3 night stay, beautiful cottage and lovely area. Would definitely recommend and Kev was very helpful and gave great recommendations! Thank you

We had a lovely relaxing weekend at this property. The local surroundings are beautiful and the house was clean and very well equipped. The hot tub was a nice addition and communication with our host was excellent from start to finish. I would happily recommend a stay here :)

We all felt incredibly spoilt at tower cottage. The accommodation just had a wonderful, relaxed, comforting playful energy about it. It felt that every ornament or artifact that the cottage held had a story behind it and what a privilege for us. It was joyous. The grounds, well that was something else. Early morning Deer, the call of the chiff chaff, the fast low flight of the sparrow hawk through the woods, the soothing sound of the stream in an evening, a great crested grebe joining us for our Sunday morning dip and the joy of the marble run in the woods reminded us to freely play all weekend as a friendship group. Living next door, Ruth and mark were on hand if we needed help or advice without ever feeling like our time and space was compromised. Relaxed wholesome hosts who love where they live. Their kindness was infectious. We will definitely be back.

Thanks for Daniel he is very helpful and very kind my family is very happy. Everything is clean and tidy thanks for everything.

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

My husband and I (and our two dogs) had our mini-moon here and it was just the relaxing break we needed. The dogs settled straight away and it's the most sleep we've had in years. Lisa was super helpful throughout and we couldn't have been more grateful for our beautiful stay away. Thanks again, Laura xx

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

A beautiful location, very peaceful. The main hall is an adventure centre, but there were no problems in respect of disturbing our stay, noise levels were minimal to none. The enclosed (very large) rear garden is fantastic for those with pooches with them, this creates a stress free way to let them wander and play. The grounds are wonderful, with a lovely woodland walk by the stream. Not forgetting the beauty of Ullswater and all of its walks and activities close to hand. We had a great time here and have already said we will return.

A beautiful cottage in the most stunning and well kept grounds. The chickens absolutely added value to the experience, especially the little brown one who we named Wilmer for our stay! She was the perfect little neighbour, cute, cheeky and friendly. The lake, boat and kayaks were gorgeous. Cottage stunning, found the smell of ‘dog’ noticeable when I went in which sparked some allergies but luckily, not upstairs so didn’t impact sleep. It clearly said dogs welcome downstairs so something I should have thought about in advance. The library and reading area overlooking gardens and lake was so peaceful and cottage really does optimise the space. Kitchen very well thought out with good facilities and loved the fresh eggs and white roses left, a really thoughtful and lovely gesture. Gorgeous place, privacy respected and clearly a much loved cottage. Thank you.

A uniquely characterful location, in the foot of the beauty of the northern lakes, over looking Blencathra in the distance. Easy to find and well connected to Penrith for amenities and onward access to the whole of the Lake District. We enjoyed a peaceful, quiet location for our little family and this cortage was warm, comfortable (particularly the beds!) and with everything we needed to self cater. The Wi-Fi was an essential tool as the area is lacking in mobile connectivity. We were able to he given early access by our hostess and they kindly communicated this. We also were met on arrival by our friendly co-host Paul. The kind gift of a lovely bottle of white wine in the fridge also made us smile. Overall, it was a delightful stay and I wholly recommended to all that people come visit the Dairy Cottage at Fort Putnam!

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful spacious cottage, on our way home from Scotland. Good quality furniture and lovely decor. The garden was great for our dogs. Pretty surroundings and so many local walks! Very well equipped and we appreciated the welcome pack. Thank you

We had three lovely nights at Grove Cottage. Kay was very helpful and sent us very informative messages before arriving which was excellent. We found the cottage to be very clean and tidy and comfortable for us and our two children. We followed one of the guide leaflets for a fab walk after visiting the May bank holiday village fair. We bought some cheeses from the village and visited one welcoming pub after our walk. We also loved the antique shop in the old Swan pub - very friendly man in there! Alston is a great base for exploring, we drove to Cragside which was stunning. Would certainly book a return stay. Thanks Kay

kerry and greg were absolutely great hosts, Kerry was quick to respond to any Qs we had and were so friendly and generous! we had a lovely gift basket when we arrived with some biscuits and drinks! The house it’s self was so gorgeous and cosy, the pink flowers and the feel of the house was really bright and so pretty. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, and was so very clean. The bed was comfortable and the house was always warm, the bathroom was spotless with ample space and a big shower. This is a really lovely place to stay with even lovelier hosts!

Had a great couple of days at Strawberry Cottage. The place was clean, cosy, and had all the amenities we could need. The location was fantastic - only a very short walk into Keswick Town Centre. Would highly recommend.

Very welcoming hosts and an impressive place to rent. The interior is in stylish, comfortable and in great condition. The location is quieter than others in the lake district but only 15 mins from Bowness. We loved our weekend.

Amanda personally welcomed us upon arrival and took the time to show us round the cottage, explaining where everything was and how things worked. The cottage itself is beautiful, extremely well kept and full of all the bits and pieces you need to have a most enjoyable stay, including those nice little extras such as tea, coffee, milk and wine to welcome you. The view from the cottage is stunning and the local village itself has lovely little shops and cafes. The area itself has lots of walks through lovely countryside and numerous places of outstanding natural beauty. A little further out, there are a number of museums, towns, historical places that are worth exploring, including Hadrian's Wall and the Pennines. This is an ideal place for a relaxing break, out in the countryside soaking up the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Harry's place for just one night but wished it was for longer after getting a feel for the place.The accommodation is beautifully designed with brilliant features in every corner.We had everything we needed at the cottage and Harry is a fab communicator giving us lots of helpful information.The town itself was buzzing with interesting characters and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ulverston and can't wait to return.

Tara was a wonderful host, they were so quick to respond and instructions were very clear of how to get to property. Kitchen was well equipped with new appliances and everything you would need. Very peaceful location. Thanks for lovely stay.

Great accommodation in a fantastic spot in the lakes. Good bolthole for us to do a sponsored charity walk. Kevin kindly sponsored us. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a super stay in Helton, we are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. The cottage was beautiful and very cosy and comfortable, it is really well equipped and we loved having the log burner. Claire and Chris were extremely welcoming and friendly, they went above and beyond and gave us lots of tips about local walks and cycles and the local pubs. We loved Helton and neighbouring Askham. Askham has a lovely pub with good food. The location was peaceful and rural but very accessible to other parts of the Lake District. Would highly recommend and hope to return 😊

Great value for money, close to city centre, spotless throughout, amazing hot shower, fully equipped kitchen, a home away from home. Loved the personal touches and chocolate brownies. Our absolute favourite accommodation on our trip.
