Holiday rentals in Whaw

We had a great stay in Hawes, the house had everything we needed. Hawes and surrounding areas are beautiful. Diane left some suggestions of things to do and we did the waterfall in Hardraw, and the highest inn in England, both fantastic.

We had a lovely stay at Tethera Nook with our dog Luna! Emma and Craig were brilliant and it was lovely to see them working so hard on their gorgeous garden while we were there! It provided a lovely place to sit with a drink in the mornings! Their very friendly dog Capone always happy to come and say hello! It felt very private the whole week, walking distance to Kendal town, and we even hiked up to Scouts Scar which was recommended in the guide book (the views definitely did not disappoint). Tethera nook had everything we needed for our stay and with it being extremely hot the fan was an added bonus in keeping us and our dog cool! The eggs and veg that Emma leaves out is incredible and the little gifts of brownies, gin and jams on our arrival kept us going for the whole week! Everything was just perfect for our relaxing week away in the lakes, with close links to the rest of the national park! We would absolutely stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Treetops. From the moment you shut the gate you feel like the stresses of the outside world have disappeared! Everything has been thought of and more! We loved watching movies on the giant screen, playing darts on the deck and eating tapas whilst watching the cows in the field through the tree canopy. Lisa and Martin are on hand if you have a queries or need anything but you wouldn’t know anyone was nearby as the whole place is so secluded and private! We loved the outdoor shower, what a treat and enjoyed the hot tub even in the rain! If you are unsure of wondering if it’s worth the money, DON’T hesitate you will never regret it! A truly special place and you can see the effort in every detail!

Wonderful place with the comfiest bed ever. Such Wonderful views. watching the swallows. Everything we needed for a couple of nights. Would have loved some milk in the fridge but not too far to local farm shop to stock up.

Fantastic place - right in the heart of Reeth. Lovely touches throughout- fresh flowers and delicious morsels in a wonderful comfortable space.

Mark’s place was an absolute bargain in our opinion - Gunnerside is such a tranquil village and the surroundings (including the views from all windows!) were stunning. We had so many walks to do straight from the property. The house was beautiful and really cosy, we loved an afternoon spending time around the log burner. The beds were super comfortable too. We went with a toddler and baby and I was so touched by all the attention to detail for them - checking if we needed a cot, leaving a high chair and loads of toys/books to keep them entertained. We were sent a really helpful email with all the local places to visit, walks to do, etc. We went to The Punch Bowl Inn a short drive away for Sunday lunch, would highly recommend. Thanks so much for an amazing stay!

The Snug was the most beautiful small holiday rental I have ever stayed in; I loved everything about it, but especially the old beams and the lumpy walls, the view of the parish church at night, and the reading nook. Really comfortable bed, great shower, spotless kitchen. The stairs are steep, winding and narrow, and obviously there's a ladder up to the mezzanine so it wouldn't be good if someone had mobility issues, but I think that comes across quite clearly in the description and photos. Really convenient for shops, river, theatre, good paths for walking/running from the door. Park in the parish church car park if you're going to be going out in the rush hour - it's a near-death experience to get out of the Peppercorn in heavy traffic due to the blind corner! If you're tempted, just go for it, it's a gem 😍

We had a fabulous long weekend at River Run Cottage. We loved the view of the river and bird watching from the conservatory. The whole place was comfortable and really well equipped, there was nothing we wanted that we couldn’t find, they’d thought of everything. We enjoyed trips to recently newly developed Raby Castle, Low Force and High Force and thoroughly enjoyed the stunning scenery all around, wonderful to explore an area that we didn’t know at all. We were blessed with hot and sunny weather, this meant we need to manage the heat inside the house and may be a good tip for others. We closed the door between the conservatory and the house and drew all of the curtains during the day on this south facing property. When we returned after our day out the house was lovely and cool. We’d definitely recommend River Run cottage, it’s a fabulous place to stay.
