"The location was brilliant. The property was well equipped, clean and comfortable. However, the external areas were in dire need of cleansing and maintenance. (Getting rid of the bird feeders would help in this matter !!)"

"We absolutely loved staying at Roger’s home in Keswick! The three of us had plenty of room, all of the amenities we needed, and a beautiful garden courtyard to spend time together. It is a nice walk on a footpath to town, and a short distance to the Castlerigg Stone Circle. Roger was very helpful and gave us great recommendations for our stay in this gorgeous area. We hope to get back there again!"

"Really good cottage only about 2 mins walk from centre of Ambleside. Had everything you need for a nice simple stay in the lakes. Great views from the front room over the hills. They’ve just had a car parking space put in which is very handy. Great communication with owner throughout. Would definitely come back."

"Great house for our extended family to spend a long weekend together. Loads of space and everything you could think of is supplied. The games room for the kids is excellent! Lois the host was super helpful and happy to answer questions rapidly via text. Highly recommend!"

"If you want fantastic views and your own space this is perfect. Will definitely book again. Short walk to the lake amazing host too. Thank you so much"

"Immaculate, beautiful, well appointed, dog friendly. Couldn’t fault it. Thank you."

"Just returned from a week at Richmond House, where everything has been renovated to a high specification, which makes it a great holiday home. The kitchen is well equipped with quality brands. All the wardrobes and bedroom fittings have been well thought out. Big walk in shower and large free standing bath. Again all the bathrooms have been fitted and finished to a high standard. The quiet cul de sac location is perfect for walking into Bowness or further if you want to. But staying ‘home’ is a...

"Property- fantastic. Many walks to forests/gardens/fells right from the property- Ferry to towns a 10 min walk. Grounds were charming- the kitchen is incredibly well kitted out for those who like to cook- very comfortable beds and the communication was great with the owners."

"Great place to stay at White Cross Bay is a lovely place next to lake. Log cabin we had was very quiet area to stay. Great bike rides we would go back."

"Had a wonderful weekend very comfortable with everything you could want for a family weekend away."

"Small but comfortable. The garden was a superb place to hang out as it was hot!! Instructions for the door locks would have been helpful for these Americans. :)"

"We took the train in, and it was a super short and easy walk to the property with a smooth check-in process. The room was small but worked fine for our short stay, and it was very conveniently located in town."

"Great location with amazing views over Ambleside and the hills. The balcony is a bonus in good weather. The walk into Ambleside is steep but short so you have easy access to all the town has to offer and walks into the fells without needing to drive. Use of the (small) pool and jacuzzi at Lakelands was a bonus and quiet the week we were there. House is well presented and furnished with plenty of storage, crockery/cutlery etc. The beginning of our week was very cold and even with the heating on...

"Excellent location"

"We had an ideal stay, great facilities at the house, very comfortable, great location."

"The property is set in a stunning setting, opposite Blencathra, in a really quiet location. Unfortunately, however, the cottage has a rodent problem. Each morning we'd find mouse droppings underneath the fridge, on window ledges and by the sink. On leaving we also discovered mice had chewed through one of our bags."

"Loved our stay. Our first family trip away with our 10 week old baby and even she loved it. We had everything we needed at our finger tips. The only slight downfall was the Wi-Fi connection. It was quite hard to connect to and very slow. Being in an area with poor reception for data, the Wi-Fi was definitely needed but we both struggled to get any use out of it. Amazing place though, would recommend. "
