Family-friendly holiday rentals in Staveley

Beautiful views, friendly staff and everything in Yurt. Will helped us out

We stayed here for my sons 12th birthday for 2 nights end of May 2025. The house itself was beautiful, tastefully decorated and felt fresh and clean. The beds were all very comfortable with good bedding. The Hosts were very friendly and we felt the check in was easy and hassle free. The games room, sauna and hot tub were great additions and again well looked after and clean. We would definayely book here again.

We arrived at the Old Sunday School for 4 nights and the cottage was exactly as described to us by the host Peter. The cottage was very cosy in a little village with everything you need for a lovely peaceful few days with all amenities within walking distance including the Meadowside Cafe which we visited on the Saturday for the Brindian which was absolutely amazing and would highly recommend if visiting Dent as the owners, Adrian (chef) and his wife were amazing hosts. We also made use of the hot tub at the cottage which is a nice lovely added bonus which was even better with the gorgeous weather we had during our stay. We would highly recommend this cottage and would most definitely return in the future so if you are looking for a peaceful place with fantastic views visit Dent.

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.

10/10! What a beautiful, remote location , our time at Two Acre plot was exceptional - especially being greeted by the lovely cows upon arrival. The pod was immaculate and homely. The view from the hot tub was fascinating and calming. We can’t wait to be back. 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!

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!

What a wonderful spot and cottage to fully unwind for a couple of days. The cottage is set in the most peaceful and beautiful of settings, with easy access to the lake and beach area. The cottage was quirky, quaint and eclectic and we all felt at home and relaxed as soon as we stepped in. The added extra touches from Mark and Ruth were lovely and we felt really welcomed to their space. The cottage has everything you need and it made for a peaceful and relaxing few days to relax and recharge. Thanks again for letting us stay.

This was our third stay and we hope to return to enjoy Hilary and Peter’s wonderful hospitality and this superb cottage. There was everything we could possibly need for a relaxing stay….the most comfortable bed, amazing shower, beautiful decor and gorgeous surroundings. Lovely welcome treats and so much attention to detail, including fresh flowers. We had a fabulous break and we are already looking to book again. Thank you so much Hilary and Peter.

I can’t recommend Will and Giles’ place enough. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. The information sent prior to arrival was brilliant, the cottage was much bigger than we expected and it’s in an amazing location right by Coniston. The place was spotless and had some lovely touches. We will be back!

We have just spent 3 nights at Herdy View Lodge and were extremely pleased with our choice. The property is in a quiet location in a lovely setting. Several restaurants are in easy distance and Penrith, Ullswater and Keswick are short drives away. The lodge itself is lovely and kitted out with everything we needed. There is also an information folder which was really useful. All in all it was perfect for our requirements and we would certainly book there again. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely property! The view is absolutely stunning! Great location - many pubs near by, children’s park and walks to do from the property and only 30 min drive from Buttermere lake ‘which is a must’! Perfect for our 2 year old, she loved running around the garden and seeing the view & sheep! Great communication with host. Would 100% recommend!

Lovely cottage, very clean and decorative. Great location just a short drive to lovely walks and other villages. Co op and SPAR across the road, or ASDA express 10 mins away. Very dog friendly my 2 border collies loved it. Road can be busy and noisy but quiet at night. Managed to park safely on the road a few metres up with no restrictions or outside the cottage 6pm - 8am. Lee is an excellent host very helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend.

Lovely, cosy cottage. Very warm, despite the inclement weather. Under floor heating was lovely! We lit a fire one evening, although we didn't really need it, and it was great!

We really enjoyed our stay at Mary’s place. One of the best equipped kitchens we used over the years on Airbnb. The cottage is very clean and master bedroom bed is surprisingly beautiful. The view is stunning from Heaversham Head just as described by Mary. Great value for money considering its close location to Windmere. Highly recommend.

beautiful views and lovely place to stay has everything you need would highly recommend

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

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.

Had a lovely 3 nights stay, hosts were friendly and informative, house was spotlessly clean and spacious, everything you could really need was there, hot tub in the evenings after a day out was the perfect way to unwind, made a great base for exploring the lakes, hope to come back soon!

We had a great stay at Whitbarrow. We have visited the resort before on many occasions. We had some minor issues in the accommodation which were swiftly resolved by Seasons staff. Kal and Anita were great to communicate with leading up to and during the stay also. Very responsive and helpful. Good facilities onsite too and helpful staff. Thank you

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!

what a great air b&b . clean and tidy . we had an issue which was our right within hours. everything was explained in the texts we sent and received . can't rave to much about van, sie ,area and host. what a sea view.

We stayed at this property as a group of 14 friends on a hiking weekend in the Lake District. Put simply, this is property is incredible! Martin has thought of everything a large group of people could need. The facilities are fantastic, from the hot-tub, to the fully kitted out games room, to the hammocks and swings, fire-pit, outdoor eating areas, speaker systems throughout the house. Everyone who stayed was blown away with the property and we made memories that we will never forget. Thank-you so much to the host for allowing us to stay.
