Modern Retro 2-bed Flat - Perfect Location!
We had a lovely stay...the place was very clean and had everything we needed (we liked the books and games). Julie was very friendly and helpful when making the booking arrangements and we appreciated being able to book at short notice.

Keswick - Ground Floor Riverside Holiday Apartment
We had a great stay- so beautiful being next to the river- very peaceful but also 5 minute walk into Keswick high street with lots of restraunts. Easy to park, warm and cosy, would definitely recommend

Stunning unique Country Flat w/original WaterWheel
Second time staying at this unique place. Very comfortable and homely flat with everything that you need. There are some good cafes nearby and a good bar in the Teesdale Hotel. The locals in Middleton in Teesdale are very friendly and welcoming. Lots of good walks from the doorstep and Low/High Force a short drive away. Highly recommend.

Central Large sea view 1bed luxury apartment
Great location, fantastic friendly and kind hosts. All you need for a break in Blackpool!

3 OnThe Lake - Direct Lake Access and Lake Views
Quiet but perfect local for me. Everything was as described, really enjoyed the stay

What a fabulous few days me and my boys had ..I’ve never seen them so relaxed (ages 35 and 37 )x I think it was the lovely energy we felt in the beautiful Nest xx looking out over the river each morning set us up for the day. Would recommend 100% , we had everything we needed ..I couldn’t fault it ..the bedrooms immaculate and the beds /bedding were soft clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the gym and pool offer also x staff there were lovely at the Swan Hotel. Thank you xx

HEBDEN VIEWS. 13 NEW RD. HEBDEN BRIDGE. HX7 8AD
We loved our stay at Gina’s and hope to come back sometime soon. Hebden Bridge is a friendly, charming village - so lovely - and Gina’s place above her fused glass studio is so pretty and filled with light and pops of color. We could walk all over, including in a nearby park and along the river. Thank you, Gina!

MARINA BOATHOUSE, Lake Windermere Lets

Water views, log burner, walking, fishing, sailing
Wow what a location and property! We were so excited to arrive and were overjoyed when our high expectations were exceeded! This really is a spot of magic, the views, scenery and local walks are unbeatable and the cottage is truly beautiful inside, with everything you would need for a luxury relaxing stay. We have already talked of when to return. Sunrises from the back garden were spectacular.

Jitty Cottage - Open Plan with Gallery Bedroom
Warm, clean & comfortable little cottage with everything that we needed. Ideal location for the town and surrounding area, however we did underestimate how busy the road would be at night.

Nan’s Cottage, South Lakeland District
Spark Bridge was a great place to be, outside busy areas but still accessible to much of southern and central lakes. Wendy’s place was perfect.

How Bank Ambleside, Luxury House with Hot Tub
Really good location for a family holiday. We had 6 adults and although 2 were in the ‘children’s’ bedroom they were comfortable and there was lots of space for us all. Outside spaces (places to sit or eat) in particular were lovely and the hot tub of course was fabulous. Really great easy location for Ambleside itself and getting quickly walking!

Town End Farmhouse, Luxury Victorian 3 bed home
We stayed here for my girlfriends birthday with our dog. The house is absolutely stunning and very large - the photos don’t even do it justice! Iain and Louise were very responsive, beds were incredibly comfortable and we very much enjoyed the beautiful village setting. We would love to visit again!

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.

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.

Beautiful Keswick House Stunning Riverside Patio
Fabulous stay at John’s river side holiday home. Perfect setting, helpful and communicative host. No negatives just the perfect stay. House accommodated 6 of us very comfortably. Can’t recommend enough

RiverVistaRetreat: Luxury Apt w/Views, Parking&Spa
Amazing place to stay. Very quiet and peaceful area but had a pub within walking distance. Only a 10 minute drive to the shops and under 20 minutes into Windermere town. Great location and beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean and great facilities. Lee and Wendy were very friendly and responsive, lots of recommendations too! We will definitely be coming back to stay here!

Pure Grace, Waterhead nr Ambleside, Lake District
Our week in this lovely apartment sped by too quickly! It was beautifully decorated with cosy lounges and chairs and very comfortable beds. The kitchen had more than we needed and all appliances were easy to use. The location was faultless - everywhere was so accessible from here! Pubs, cafes and restaurants were just across the road - where we headed after long hikes each day. We felt very sad to leave and look forward to returning one day soon 👍👋❤️

Botanical House Blossom Suite
The apartment is exactly as advertised. It was clean, warm and really comfy. It has a lovely bay window where myself and auntie could just sit in peace and watch the world go by. If you want a chilled time away but with everything on your doorstep this is the place. Plenty lovely restaurants, cafes, shops and not far from the trams and right across from the beach.

Lovely 2 bedroom flat with free parking for 1 car
A fantastic flat in a great location- 100 yards from the Pleasure Beach and from the Tram stop, which made it so convenient, but in a quiet residential road. We parked our car on the drive (another real plus in Blackpool) and didn’t move it again as we went everywhere via tram. If you buy the Tram tickets on the app it is only £10 for two people for an all day ticket, meaning you can get on and off as often as you want. If we are ever back in Blackpool, we would stay here again. We can definitely recommend it.

Delightful Luxurious Georgian 3 bed apartment
Lovely and spacious apartment fully equipped for our weekend away. Perfect combination of rustic and modern aesthetic. Kitchen was fully suited for all cooking needs. Bathrooms and all other areas were spotless. living room was a cozy place to chill with plenty of space. Location is perfect as right in the heart of Kendal with nearby shops and restaurants if needed. It was easy to travel to anywhere in the Lake District from here. Check-in was very straightforward.

Cockermouth, modern 2 bed apartment
Was staying here for a family gathering Kim’s place was great, a home from home and she also had lots of brochures in the apartment for things to do myself and family really enjoyed staying here.

Stunning Seaview Loft-style Penthouse Apartment
We spent 2 nights in this apartment while visiting friends in Blackpool. The apartment is fantastic - spacious and well appointed, with the highlight being the living room which has huge windows looking out over the sea which is approximately 500 metres away. The owner sent us detailed instructions before arrival and we were asked to ring him as soon as we arrived, so that he could go through various features of the apartment with us. Overall, the communication was excellent. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment if you are planning to stay in Blackpool.

The Waterfall Mill – The Studio
My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay, the accommodation was cute and looked out onto the river and falls which we had a little swim in, and we loved the sound of the running water which was very peaceful. The little village has a couple of shops and a pub where the staff were friendly, however we did have to travel to neighbouring villages for meals out, but we knew that would be the case and allowed us to explore more of the surrounding areas, notably Hawes and Aysgarth. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away.
