Great little place for a few days in the Lakes. Scenery was stunning and the accommodation was clean and fresh!

A beautiful little apartment in pooley bridge. Very clean and we'll equipped with a nice view of the river. It's perfect for visiting Pooley bridge which has an amazing lake, good walks and great restaurant and pubs. The only slight issue was the double bed is a bit small. But that's a small gripe with an otherwise perfect place to stay.

Fantastic cottage, well situated within the village, very easy to have a good nights rest, well equipped...key collection was simple, tea, coffee, proper towels, dish washer, washing machine, quality crockery/cutlery, internet TV, central heating was really good, without going on too much....we shall use Colin's place again in the very near future....big thanks to Colin

10/10. Great for couples who want a weekend in the lakes. Very well equipped. Fantastic bed!

A great place to stay for a few days of cycling and walking!! The flat itself is brilliant, providing everything you need for self catering and somewhere to relax at the end of the day. 5*!!

This apartment is great! Fully equiped with everything you could need. The kitchen and accessories all looked brand new. The washer dryer was handy to have as were the washing tablets, which were unexpected. The hot chocolate sachets were also welcomed. The bed was very comfy and the dog box was a great touch, complete with a food and water bowl, towel, bed and blanket for our dog. The apartment was right next to a colins tea room, which did great scones and breakfasts. There was also a shop and post office the other side. A bus stop was out the front too. Colin was a great host, showing us around the apartment and showing us walks to do and suggesting which would be push chair friendly. If we return to this part of the lake district we would love to stay here again.

Great place in a great location, acetal dog friendly pubs nearby and the place was immaculate, and it came with everything, oven, microwave, fridge freezer, washing drying machine, dishwasher... We would repeat as soon as we have time to come back

Lovely, self-contained room. Very clean and presentable. Sindy cooked a lovey breakfast both days. Sindy and Terry are absolutely lovely and so attentive. Thank you both!

Terry and Sindy are extremely friendly and helpful hosts! They took care of all our needs and offered great advices on Lake District. Breakfast was amazing & we especially enjoyed Terry's honey :) The accommodation is also very clean and comfortable, with a lovely view from the dining area.

We had a great night at Terry and Sindys. Very welcoming and the room was warm, clean and comfy :) The room and toilet are very private and you even have your own front door to let yourself in and out. Breakfast was delicious with a pretty view, and the home made honey was a lovely treat :)

Amazing place to stay! Really clean, very close to the Lake, and the local restaurants and pubs! I would highly recommend it!

The listing and the pictures really don't do justice to how good La Ruche really is. Terry and Sindy are very welcoming, looked after us both incredibly well and went out of their way to make sure our stay was as good as it could be. The room and bathroom are in a private part of the house, with direct access to come and go as you please. The bed is comfortable and there is everything you would expect from a room in a hotel, except with personal and friendly service. La Ruche comes highly recommended and we would stay with Terry and Sindy again without hesitation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Terry and Sindy! First, they were very helpful as we planned our arrival, offering recommendations on our drive from Edinburgh (the drive between Selkirk and Moffat was stunning!). A side effect of the amazing drive down from Scotland was that we were delayed in our arrival. Nevertheless, Terry cheerfully greeted us and showed us around their place. He repeatedly offered to get us anything we needed. We settled in and had a great night's sleep. Breakfast was the real highlight of our stay! Sindy was so kind and gracious, and her full English breakfast meant that we weren't hungry again until evening. It was delicious, healthy, and very filling. And their local ray honey really set the meal apart. And finally, before we departed, Terry and Sindy very patiently and thoroughly gave us recommendations for our visit to Cumbria, including some time-saving tips and local/insider recommendations that made our visit to the area truly amazing. Our only regret is that we could only spend one night at Terry & Sindy's.

Super friendly people, super nice room, super tasty breakfast (with fresh honey comb from their own bees). Thanks a lot.

Terry and Sindy are delightful hosts. The room was so comfy and luxurious. The breakfast was very generous with fresh brew coffee.they even had there own honey from their own ber hives. The village is in great position to explore the area.Highly recommended.

Liz was a marvellous host with lots of advice and books on good walks to take in the area - her house is just lovely and fits perfectly the quiet village which is conveniently situated for many great walks and is also conveniently near Penrith. It also has a great pub which does fantastic food. We got engaged during our stay and Liz got out the bubbly and was as excited as we were. Lovely host, lovely house (with friendly cat), lovely village - maybe we will come back on an anniversary trip sometime!

Liz was an outstanding host. Made us feel very welcomed and nothing was too much bother. An excellent conversationalist. Gave us very detailed and useful information about the area. The house was just perfect, very quiet and peaceful. Such a comfortable and cosy home. Her garden was a real find, with many seating areas and so many plants and pots; a must for anyone that is a keen gardener. It could have been exhibited at Chelsea. It was a wonderful stay, just wished we had stayed longer.

We really enjoyed staying with Liz at Stainton. We only had two nights in the Lake District but Liz's warm welcome, beautiful home and excellent recommendations for walks and restaurants made sure we had a lovely time and got the most out of our stay. Very highly recommended!

Everything was how it was described on the list and on the guest's comment. A beautiful and quiet environment and a spacious, cozy, period cottage. Amazingly beautiful, well thought and organised her garden was an inspiration. The famous welcoming tea and flapjack with friendly conversation made us feel relaxed. Private bathroom was nice too. Liz was really helpful from the time of booking. She suggested that we could come to her place via lakes and lovely towns, and gave me a clear direction. I was really impressed by her willingness to help her guest and to make our visit enjoyable and easy. It felt like I was supported by her kindness before my holiday starts. But above all what I liked most was her relaxed and friendly nature. She sat the breakfast table with us and had her breakfast, which made us really feel that we were treated like her family. She was the only host who did this among other four hosts and made me feel this stay so special. When we arrived the town, we couldn't find her cottage straight away, so I called her, then she came out from the house, waving to us from the distance with big smile! How nice to be welcomed so openly, and also when we left there next morning, she came out with us to see us off, waving her hand again with a big smile. It really felt like I had stayed with my relatives, and was treated and looked after by her just like her family member. It was so special and really really good start of our 11days holiday. Thank you Liz for your loving kindness. You made our day! I really hope to see you again.

Our host was very welcoming, and not only gave us a much needed cup of tea but had baked some delicious flapjack and made us very comfortable. The room was attractive and had wifi laid on and we had our own immaculate bathroom,all up a separate staircase so we felt as if we had our own suite. The village was quiet and pleasant and our host advised us on eating places, and on walks in the vicinity. Ullswater is within easy reach. Breakfast was delicious, generous and very attractively presented, and included home made preserves. We enjoyed the conversations with our host, and look forward to another visit.

It was an absolute pleasure staying with Liz. We felt like part of the family!

Liz was a wonderful host with a beautiful house and garden in a lovely village. From our first contact with Liz until we left at the end of our stay she made us feel very welcome. We were making several visits to an elderly relative in Penrith, which we wanted to combine with some walking and fresh air for us and Liz gave us numerous useful suggestions for where to go and what to do. The room was comfortable with its own bathroom and the food from the tea and flapjacks when we arrived to the breakfasts we shared with Liz were delicious and filling. We would definitely stay with Liz again with thanks for the great hospitality.

We had two nights staying with Liz in her beautiful 18thC home in the Lakes and found her to be a warm and welcoming host with great knowledge of the area. The house is beautiful and perfectly situated for access to the Lake District and the M6. Our bedroom was lovely with a comfortable double bed and we had sole use of a separate bathroom which were clean, warm and comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious, including Liz's homemade jams and Tommy the cat was suitably friendly for a young tom, popping in to see if we were interesting. We're not. On her recommendation, Liz kindly booked us in to the local pub for an evening meal. A friendly place with great food. Liz kept in contact from the moment of booking and was very helpful and accommodating when our plans changed slightly. You really couldn't ask for more and we will thoroughly recommend that you choose Liz when you're next in or passing through the Lakes.

Wonderful little Bothy with even more wonderful owners ! We felt very welcomed, John and Julie went even this extra mile by leaving a bottle of fresh milk for us :) Private garden to enjoy your spare time.. Great location with 2 pubs 5 minutes away so that you don t have to go all the way to town nearby just to have a tea. Amazing area, for walks with the doc if you have one with you. Thank you again for having us over !

Been here before and it did the job for us. Took our dog and no fuss. Great little place.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Had a lovely long weekend in the bothy. It was very cosy, well-heated and with a log fire. We came on the train and John really helped us out with lifts/from the station and to Ullswater, although the local buses are reliable too. The area is excellent for walking and on the first night we even played bingo in the local pub (although sadly not successfully...)

John is a fantastic host, Cute accommodation in a wonderful location.

Thank you to John & Julia for the lovely welcome. Stainton is a lovely village, very close to Ullswater lake. We had a great time, celebrating our first wedding anniversary. Thank you for the prosecco! Alicia & Chris

We reached Penrith train station and our host John was very generous to receive us as the Buses runs once in an hour in winter. He drove us to the cottage through absolutely stunning and serene lakes & neighbourhood. As we arrived, the cottage was located at a very quite place where you can only hear birds chirping which we never hear in urban cities. To the front of the house is forecourt garden with the exposed stone wall which leads to a cozy passage with well-kept garden around. The cottage comprises of Living with a cozy fireplace and extended kitchen. Bedroom and Bathroom on above floor. The rooms are very spacious and very well fully equipped with antique furniture, Framed sketches & portraits, kitchen cutlery. There is backyard well-maintained garden with outdoor sitting area and is exposed to a beautiful valley where I can see Sheep and Ponneys. The cottage is well presented throughout with well-maintained garden all around. The Bothy is Walkable to the Bust stop and has a very serene neighbourhood to walk around. Our trip was absolutely memorable especially because of the extended generosity by our host John who suggested us beautiful places to visit in Ullswater and drove us to the Pooley bridge to show sunset. On my personal experiences of travelling and living, this is the best cottage I ever stayed and to have the host who is also so dedicated to taking care of his guest to ensure their stay to be memorable.

The Bothy is cosy and snug. One room downstairs including kitchen and a bedroom with ensuite upstairs. It was a warm welcoming home after a day's walking with our dog.

Fabulous caravan in a great location. Perfect for accessing all that the Lake District has to offer. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to hire this caravan.

Absolutely the best place we have stayed in on our trip. Really comfortable, clean and modern. With an amazing location in a beautiful area. We would have liked to stay longer.

This is a wonderful caravan. Sizeable, stylish and perfectly clean. Set in a beautiful village, this accommodation is ideal. The pub (next door) is lovely and serves fine quality and value food. Thanks Abbi - this is a cracker of a place!

We arrived late and Abbi had everything ready for us. The space was perfect for what we needed and was extremely clean homely. Thanks again.

Very nice place. Will come back...

We really enjoyed our stay there! Really clean, good wifi, build in speakers all around the caravan. So much fun!! I wish I could have stay longer! Definitely will come back!

it is amazing to stay there. good experience.

A lovely caravan which provided what we needed and was as described. It was clean, well furnished and provided us with an excellent base for our stay. Thank you Abbi.

Askham is a lovely spot and the cottage, nestled into the Main Street down to the river is perfectly located to explore Ullswater, Martindale, Lowther Castle and other surrounding areas. The cottage itself is great inside and has plenty of room with a great outdoor space out the back too. The cottage had everything we needed to make our stay an enjoyable one and Lucy was always on hand if we had any queries. Would definitely recommend it!

What a delightful cottage in a beautiful location. Welcome pack left was a very thoughtful touch including milk in the fridge. The back garden is lovely with table and chairs to dine al fresco. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Midtown Cottage. Thank you

Had a truly lovely week away with my daughters and we all loved the cottage and the village. Great pub down the road with amazing food and enjoyed a 2 hour pottery session with Stuart up at the local village pottery. Imagine the outdoor swimming pool would be fun in the right season. Lowther Castle was incredible and only a short walk away! Thank-you Lucy.

Although the photos look nice, the actual place is so much better! The cottage is very spacious. The welcome pack was a very nice surprise and much appreciated! The village is nice and quiet, there's a pub down the street and a small shop that sells delicious local beer. Overall we are very pleased with the experience and are definitely going to come back!

We were disappointed to find that the cottage was not thoroughly cleaned on arrival, with crumbs, rice and a yoghurt pot lid on the table in the kitchen and odd bits of discarded rubbish on the floor in the kitchen, living room and bedrooms. The bedrooms were otherwise clean and welcoming, if rather cold- definitely something to be aware of outside of summer. Unpleasantly, there were long hairs around the bath and there were other frustrations- the shower alternated between scalding hot or freezing (we eventually used it on the low power setting which was less variable but was very very weak flow, not very refreshing after a day's walking on the fells!), the storage heater in the hall didn't work, the bedroom windows are painted shut so the rooms couldn't be aired, and the welcome basket which had been so well-reviewed was rather limited (we were told it would normally have included fresh local goods whereas ours was rather limited- not a big thing of course but we were really looking forward to it given how much it's been praised before!). The floors had visibly not been hoovered, except for upstairs. None of us had any mobile signal so we were not able to query this immediately, unfortunately, but on calling the owners to notify them we found Angela very helpful, assuring us we'd be called back, but then heard nothing for another day. Lucy was also understanding but unfortunately no immediate resolution was reached, which, given we'd had to start our holiday by cleaning, was a great shame and left us with a less than ideal cottage for our stay. Unfortunately this means we certainly wouldn't go back to the cottage and our enjoyment of our holiday was definitely impeded, which is a real pity as the village itself is lovely and there are great walks nearby. We've discussed these issues with the owners but have found these communications quite frustrating, particularly with Ken, who strongly implied our reports of the cottage were dishonest which was a rather hurtful suggestion. We were a family, ageing from 34 to 62, visiting to walk for a quiet holiday and for a local sports event, and would gain no benefit from lying about this. I fear this is testament to the benefits of having owners or helpers locally who can check guests in and out- Lucy is based in London and her parents outside the Lakes, so no one was able to simply meet us at the cottage and resolve the issues immediately which would of course have been preferable.

Great cottage, in a stunning location, quiet but close to a couple of pubs, a shop and town not to far away. All really close to the stunning Lakes. Lucy was a great host and let us know everything we needed know before and was available if we needed her (we didn't!) Thanks Lucy!

Lovely cottage enjoyed the stay

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage this last week. The location is ideal - the village feels super secluded but is actually very close to Penrith. Pooley Bridge/Ullswater is just a short drive away and is lovely. We ate Sunday Lunch at the Punchbowl Pub up the way and it was gorgeous. The cottage is huge and the back garden is extremely large - the photos don't do it justice. We felt the whole stay was very homely and they thought of all the important touches to make staying in a self catering cottage very easy. We will definitely be back.

We had a great stay at Lowside and had some great advice from Chris and Claire on where else to visit in the Lake District. The cottage is lovely and had everything we needed for our stay, even a home baked cake from the hosts on arrival, which was a very nice touch. It's around 20 minutes walk to the local pub which had a great atmosphere and another night we drove out to the George and Dragon pub at Clifton (10 mins drive) for an amazing meal, more expensive but definitely a foodie haven and great for a celebration. We enjoyed Ullswater and the walk up to Gowbarrow fell from Aira Force was spectacular. This is a great base for exploring the lakes with super friendly hosts and a stunning view - we'd love to visit again one day! Thank you Claire and Chris :)

Perfect directions provided and Claire greeted us on arrival to introduce us to Lowside Barn. The barn is nicely furnished, well equipped and finished to a very high standard - exactly as it was described! It was such a nice place to stay for a very relaxing long weekend. It is centrally located, being 15-20 mins away from Penrith, Pooley Bridge, Askham Fell and Lowther Castle and Gardens - all well worth a visit; and close to local pubs - we recommend The Punchbowl Inn for food. Claire and Chris are a very nice and friendly couple, willing to offer local advice and answer any questions you may have. We thoroughly recommend Lowside Barn and would like to return there in the future.

That was a really nice place to stay; we have is right at home gefühlt.Alles like the pictures; just beautiful and lovingly eingerichtet.Die hosts were very nice and recommended zuvorkommend.Alles in all VERY.

Very high quality accommodation in a beautiful and quieter part of the Lakes. Helton is a nice but normal village, not thronged with tourists (although we did go in March). The cottage is a comfortable haven with all you might require in a holiday home from home. The beds and linens are meltingly soft. The nearby walk to High Street from Mardale Head was breathtaking, and loved the local walk across the moor to Askham. Booths in Penrith has all the treat (and other) foods and drinks you might require. Claire and Chris are excellent hosts who will make you feel welcome and are a mine of local knowledge. A fantastic Airbnb find that you will definitely want to return to.

We finished up our 3 week trip to England and Ireland with a 4 night stay at Lowside and were delighted with the accommodation. It was lovely to have a full kitchen to cook in and separate bedrooms for the parents and teenage daughter. Our daughter particularly loved the beautiful view from her bedroom over the rolling green hillside dotted with sheep. Chris and Claire were very helpful regarding any questions we had and provided great advice about various walks and excursions. Thanks again for a wonderful visit!

Claire and Chris' house is a very nice one and well decorated. Honestly, it is the best house we have ever had in our one month UK trip. The house is with large space, quiet night and beautiful countryside, so is very suitable for families with cars. My families really enjoyed it. Claire is a very nice person who is keen to answer whatever we ask her. What's more, Claire weclomed us at home and prepared a delicious handmake cake on our arrival. It smelled so nice that my families could not help but sit down and taste it. I would strongly recommand it to my friends.

We had a memorable and relaxing stay. Claire made the whole process and stay very straightforward and pleasant. Helton is a gorgeous place to stay and well located for walking. The nearby Punchbowl Pub is one of the best in the Lake District. Lowther Castle is a good place for children and adults.

My friend and I stayed here for a long weekend for a dear friend's wedding that was being held at nearby Askham Hall. Not only was the location perfect and convenient, but Claire and Chris were absolutely wonderful and generous hosts. Although we only occupied two of the three bedrooms, the rooms are spacious and very comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked. The setting is quiet and absolutely breath-taking and provides any number of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and running. The proximity to Ullswater gives you easy access to some beautiful scenic drives. I would return in a heartbeat!

Al and his family provided a warm welcome, comfortable, spacious en suite room and delicious breakfast in their beautiful part of the country.

The host canceled this reservation 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Pauline was a fantastic host and made me and my partner feel very welcome. Fantastic house and a lovely room. I cannot recommend highly enough. We can't wait to visit again.

We were welcomed very warmly to the property, dispute us turning up late. Throughout our stay we were looked after, served wonderful breakfasts and given advice about activities to do. we had had a car as it was hard to get around from the property. As it was, Pauline was very kind and drove us very kindly to the bus stop and Steamer port. Pauline was a wonderful host, very friendly and warm and helpful. The property is stunning, a real wonderland in a beautiful location with stunning views. The room was very cute and romantic. Thank you for a wonderful stay Pauline.

My fiancé and I went to Penrith for my friends wedding. Pauline is very friendly and welcoming. She went over and above to make our stay great, and cooked some delicious breakfasts. The house is as pretty as the photos, our room was very comfortable and clean. Pauline has a lovely home.

Staying with Pauline was fantastic! Her house is without doubt the most special one in the whole Lake District. Pauline is a very sweet and warm person and she and her daughter are the best hosts one could wish for: they both gave us the best tips about the activities at the lakes and the surroundings. We will never forget this experience!

Our stay in this beautiful house was made perfect by Pauline. From the freshly brewed coffee and lemon drizzle cake upon arrival to the unique decor. Pauline is wonderfully chatty and soon made us feel very much at home.

We had a wonderful stay with Pauline. Her home is beautiful and in a quiet location with views of the lake. Breakfast was delicious!

We had a fantastic few days relaxing in the lakes at Pauline's beautiful guesthouse. She made us feel totally at home and went above and beyond to help us with any question we had. Marvellous.

pauline greeted us with a warm smile and biscuits and coffee. The house is just beautiful, a little oasis. Breakfast was amazing!! i never eaten so much but everything was beautifully cooked and served in her lovely dining room. Rooms were clean and very nicely decorated and showers hot.... pauline recommended a bistro in pooley bridge for our evening meal on our first night which was lovely! would def stay here again!!!

Tash was very understanding. After a long day cycle touring she knew what I craved most was a shower and a rest! The bed was lovely and comfortable and I really liked the coffee/tea/hot chocolate in the bedroom. The location is beautiful for exploring the area and their is a nice pub for food nearby.

Couldn't have been more perfect! We came to Askham for a wedding and Tash's home was a 3 minute walk away, so that we were able to come back during the day to have a quick nap and freshen up a little. The bedroom was light, the bed very comfy, the views from the window beautiful in the morning and Tash a very easy-going and super friendly host! We would highly recommend staying here!

Lovely quiet village near Ullswater with a couple of friendly pubs. Tash was a very helpful and accommodating hostess.

We loved Tash's beautiful home which is perfectly situated for exploring the Lake District. Tash gave a wonderful warm welcome and some fantastic recommendations for walks and a great local pub serving home-cooked meals. Thoroughly recommend!

Tash's place is wonderful! A relaxing stop in beautiful countryside! And Tash is lovely and very accommodating. Recommend to anyone considering the area!

We stayed at Tash's home for one night and thought it was great. The accommodation were right on with a nice big bedroom and bathroom. Tash gave us some destinations to try out and we ended up driving around the countryside for hours feeling like we were on one giant movie set. Tash was a great host we wished we could have stayed longer.

Tash's place is lovely. I stayed for a weekend as my friends and was getting married in the village and it was the perfect last minute find. the room is warm and cosy and the duvet is the most comfortable I have ever experienced. Tash is a fabulous host and rescued me from the rain and welcomed me well. There are some nice walks close by and the local pubs have a great selection of food I'd highly recommend this place.

Tash is a really kind and friendly person, and her home is clean, tidy, cosy, comfortable, and set in very tranquil surroundings. Askham is a gorgeous little village. We wanted to go for a run locally so Tash showed us a good route to take and took the time to show us on the map and write out directions so we didn't get lost. Tash also gave us an excellent recommendation for a place to eat in nearby Pooley Bridge. The scenery on the doorstep of Tash's home is truly spectacular. Will definitely be staying again!

A wonderful venue for a family reunion. 16 of us ranging from 2 - 66 very much enjoyed our stay!

From the time of booking I had several contacts with the hosts at The Quiet Site by email and they responded promptly on each occasion with helpful information.

Hosts could not have done more to accommodate our large group of 16 adults , a baby and a cockerpoo !

Great cottage in a beautiful setting. Host was very pleasant and provided lots of info when needed. Couldn't have asked for more!

An amazing set up for a large family gathering (we were there for my Dad's 70th), both cottages together provided loads of space for everyone. The location is fab, and the local pub did great food. Would definitely go again.

A group of 15 of us had a great stay at both Watermillock and Ivy Cottages. Lovely to be able to open the internal door and link both properties together. Both are very well equipped and the bedrooms are all super - no need to draw straws! Great fun to cook on the Aga. Adjoining camp site has a quirky bar (great for a drink before dinner) and shop for essentials. Plus helpful staff who could advise on walks and other activities in the local area. We would highly recommend a stay!

Our stay at the Quiet was great. Clare and Adam were very helpful beforehand and while we were there. The cottages were really good, with a lovely big lounge for the kids, and another with a fireplace for the adults in the evening. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The trampoline was in constant use. There are walks nearby, and the setting is beautiful. We loved it. Only complaint we could have was the internet wasn't working - we would have preferred to have known this in advance - but that's a small thing. The other thing to be aware of - and this isn't a complaint, just something you need to know: unlike most airbnbs, things like shower gel in the bathrooms, towels and salt/pepper/oil other kitchen things aren't provided. We'd very happily stay there again.

Great visit! We were fortunate to have had both cottages. The cottages are child friendly, comfortable with high end updates that blend well with the original charm. Host was helpful and available. Plenty of bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms. Kitchen was easy to work and prepare meals for 3 families. Thumbs up for the AGA stove. Instructions were great! The trampoline and play house were a success. Very nice den and TV areas. We were instructed to bring tea towels, but were unprepared for no incidentals such as soap, salt/pepper, sugar, etc. Note to bring everything you need for kitchen and bathroom. However, there was a small store that closes at 6pm if you don't have essentials. Penrith is 15 minute drive for shopping. Fantastic stay and would definitely book again!!

We had a brilliant few days staying with Debby and Gary. The Mill is in a beautiful secluded setting and they have done a terrific job in making it feel very homely without losing any of the buildings character. The room was very comfortable, with plenty of space and a great bathroom. Easy access to the Lakes nearby (short drive) and some amazing scenery very close by. Debby could not have been more helpful, with some top tips and always available to answer questions. The breakfast was also excellent and a good way to start the day. Would also recommend the pies in the pub at Tirrel! Thanks again, we will be back!

The host canceled this reservation 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Debby made us feel very welcome, the description was accurate and the location was just lovely. It was an introduction to airbnb for my mum and 6 month old and it couldn't have gone better, mums been talking about how lovely the mill was all day! Thanks Debby.

What a fantastic place in a very peaceful location. The accommodation is conviently located in north of the Lake District. The Mill itself is located in the very quiet and peaceful village of Sockbridge. The Mill is very cosy with a rustic charm, the sitting room where breakfast is served oozes charm and you could spend many a winters night on the couch with a roaring fire. We recently had a short stay and didn't quite get to enjoy it but I must admit I'd be back to take advantage of Gary's high back armchair in front of the fire. The village has a lovely pub called the Queens Head In. which we enjoyed a lovely meal in the bar in front of an open fire in a fantastic 18th century old hearth. Definitely recommend eating here, the food was amazing! The hosts Debby and Gary were lovely, very helpful and prepared a great breakfast spread. Will be back to visit again, would love it to be longer next trip.

We had a wonderful time at Debby & Gary's beautiful home and were sorry we had not booked in for longer. The mill is l lovely, very cosy and inviting in the most beautiful countryside. It was convenient and Debby was most welcoming and attentive.

Debby was very friendly and we received a very warm, beautiful place, very spacious and clean, very comfortable bed. Strong recommendation.

Me and my boyfriend and our little dachshund stayed in Debbie's wonderful sockbridge mill - it is utterly idyllic. It's exactly what you need if you want incredible hosts, picturesque views and amazing walks right from the back door. We went to the local pub, the queens inn or head I think it's called and I highly recommend the pies! The village of sockbridge is lovely and it was so nice coming from London to breath clean fresh countryside air. The mill itself is INCREDIBLE. the hosts are artists and the whole place is decked out with their work and if you ask them nicely they will show you around their studios - fab! The full English breakfast in the morning is absolutely delicious and the home made bread to die for. You honestly couldn't find kinder, warmer or more welcoming hosts and in such a beautiful place too. We will absolutely and most definitely be coming back! Thank you so much!!

Lovely hosts, beautiful quirky house, perfect location. Great breakfast, comfy chairs next to the fireplace and I loved having a peruse of Debby's art in her workshop. Walkable to the nearest pub and small shop around 15 minutes away but would recommend taking a car to give a bit more freedom. We'll definitely be back, thanks again!

Alice and George made us extremely welcome and it was so interesting to hear all about sheep farming on the fells...they were lovely hosts..even tho they had been up through the night with lambs being born.Their barn was beautifully converted and very comfortable with underfloor heating.Its setting was peaceful and situated right on the fells ... the best walking we've had in the LakeDistrict!

This place is a gem. Very comfortable and beautifully set in the landscape of the north-eastern Lake District. It is a quiet and intimate place, with attractive wide views from the farm towards the valleys and hills. Indoors the place is characterised by a clean, relaxed and cosy atmosphere. The farm house details and indoor elements fit in beautifully with the more modern touches. A great place - highly recommendable. We hope to be back someday!

We were warmly welcomed by Alice and her family then given lots of space to relax. The cottage is comfortable, warm and well equipped. Definitely a very easy place to stay.

Alice & George were truly great hosts, their barn conversion is beautifully executed. This stay is one of the more memorable for the unique setting. Absolutely recommend.

Very nice, excellent location, great place and friendly hosts. We were delighted

The barn has been restored beautifully and it provides a very comfortable accommodation. There is a great shower and underfloor heating which makes it very cosy. It is a short ride or long walk away from the village and is a good base to discover Ullswater but generally you need a car or a bike. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

A beautiful secluded spot in the North Lakes. Recently converted stone built cattle shed. Retaining several of the original features makes for a lovely spot to stay. It's a 5minute drive to picturesque village of Askham where we found a very nice pub thanks to Alice's pre visit recommendation. Nearby Lowther Castle certainly worth a visit, for the castle, gardens, play ground and tea shop. We stayed 3 nights as part of a mountain bike trip and rode from the front door one day, and took a scenic 35min drive round Ullswater to Glenridding for a Helvellyn ride. Secure bike storage, table tennis table, and a bucket with sponge for bike cleaning were all bonus features. Alice and family were extremely accommodating and friendly.

We loved everything about our stay. The barn was lovely and great when travelling with a toddler. We liked the layout of the bedroom, and the huge dining table. Alice and her family were very friendly (but not at all intrusive), and she provided us with lots of great information in advance, e.g. recommendations for eating out, etc. The location was also beautiful. We wished we had been staying for longer, and are already planning when we can come back!!! Highly recommend.
