Family-friendly holiday rentals in Portinscale

A wonderful spot. We loved our time here and the house is just so homely and cosey but bags of space. The BBQ, sauna and hot tub really made it a place a bunch of friends could make home. There were some lovely walks super close and and one lovely one down the river into Sedbergh. Lovely stuff.

Beautiful stay, the cottage was incredibly clean and well presented, the bathroom was gorgeous, and the hot tub was excellent. Fab location and great little walk down to the river at the back. 10/10

The location was amazing and the views were spectacular. This home was exactly what it said on the tin. We were all blown away by it and had beautiful weather to make the most of the outdoor area. The only thing we did notice was that there wasn’t enough wine glasses & champagne flutes. Not ideal when there was 8 women so we had to use half pint glasses. We could have also done with more dishwasher tablets to last the stay. Apart from that it was perfect. Thank you.

We had a great time at Canny Brow Barn. Everything you could possible think of or need for your stay, Ian and Anne-Marie had thought about, from a cocktail shaker to cleaning products to games. Would highly recommend!

Stayed for 2 nights and we didn't want to leave! Went for a break with friends and the pooch and all absolutely loved it. Beautiful home, views and great dog walks local. Very secluded garden area with hot tub which was lovely in the autumn weather. Will definitely be returning in the future! Tracey is a great host and very responsive when messaging! 5 out of 5 stars for everything ✨️

The cottage was very lovely and comfortable! It has that cozy countryside vibe that helps us to relax and have fun with my friends. The hot tub and BBQ grill stood out the most as we use it almost everyday and had a really great time. Would highly recommend it!

Harriet is so welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in her stunning barns. Everything is finished to a very high spec and the spacious bedrooms and en-suites are wonderful. The farm and countryside setting is beautiful. We were sorry to leave!

We had such a lovely long weekend with our grown up children. The cottage was so relaxing . Lovely private grounds. Short walk to two private beaches . We really enjoyed having the optional hot tub and sauna . We played games in the garden , visited some lovely walks. A very chilled place. Ruth and Mark are great hosts. Thank you.

Karen was very helpful and her instructions were clear. It was beautiful, quiet and undisturbed setting was a peaceful escape.

Lovely house, well equipped comfortable beds and in a great area for walking.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in Ambleside. The ongoing updates and instructions were really appreciated and a great help. You couldn't get a more central base and even though slightly noisy later on in the evening the music stopped as if instructed to do so. Well worth the visit and hopefully sooner rather than later we'll return for another vist.

A Truly Memorable Stay at Artie’s Lodge After reading so many glowing reviews, we arrived with high expectations and we were not disappointed. Our stay was truly wonderful from start to finish. The views over Lake Windermere are simply breathtaking, and the lodge itself is spotless, cosy, and beautifully appointed. Everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay is thoughtfully provided. Special mention goes to the luxury toiletries, they were absolutely sublime. I’ll definitely be ordering some for my wife! Elizabeth is every bit as exceptional as other guests have described. She’s a warm, attentive host who genuinely goes the extra mile to make sure you feel incredibly well cared for. Breakfast was delicious and set us up perfectly for the day. Thanks to Artie’s Lodge and Elizabeth’s impeccable attention to detail, my wife and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary in a way we’ll always remember with great fondness. We wouldn’t hesitate to return or to recommend to others

Had a lovely stay at the Fell View cottage. It was exactly what we needed. A private family retreat surrounded by stunning views. The cottage felt right at home with comfy beds and everything one could ask for. Highly recommended if you are after a break from the noise of city life or even if just visiting the area. Will definitely come again.

absolutely lovely lady and great place. has everything you would need.

Really enjoyed our stay. Sarah couldn’t of been more helpful Very unique,comfortable and cozy. Beautiful location so peaceful. The continental breakfast was more than we needed lots of selection. Being close to the motorway was beneficial for us. Would definitely stay there again. John and Claudia

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!

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

We had a lovely stay with Debbie and Clive. Lovely responsive hosts with an incredibly clean, relaxing place to stay. Thank you so much for everything!!

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

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!

We had a great stay at Sarahs place. Great location near the beach and also having the pool on site is handy for wet days.

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.
