“Amazing cottage with beautiful ...”

Amazing cottage with beautiful views. The children loved the field to play in. The accommodation was much better than we expected and everything was perfect.

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very ...”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, very comfortable and everything we needed was to hand. Only draw back was we where too far from the village to stroll in along the dark lanes. Would highly recommend this property and maybe towels be included.

“We've just returned from a weekend ...”

We've just returned from a weekend at Ghyll Bank Byre and it was so good, we've already booked again. The accommodation was clean and with all the amenities you could want. It was quite remote but we knew this when we booked and the walk to and from Staveley is not as daunting as we thought....particularly when we had sampled the wares of the Hawkshead Brewery! Overall a fabulous weekend and we cannot recommend this place highly enough.

“The property is fine, views great. ...”

The property is fine, views great. The down side bit way out from the village .Virtually no internet connection no mobile phone coverage. Would suggest a Pay Phone available one phone to cover all the properties. More info on the village please . Very helpful owners Just minor gripes

“Excellent location, good facilities ...”

Excellent location, good facilities especially parking and number of bathrooms. Needs safety gate to be available for a toddler as lots of steps from room to room

- Mr Jones, August 2016
“Outstanding,exceeded all expectations.”

This was a last minute change of venue due to problems with our initial choice of accomodation.The wintery weather actually enhanced our visit with views of snow capped peaks in the distance.The underfloor heating creates a pleasantly snug ambience and the overall finish of the interior is outstanding and extremely well finished. I am already contemplating visiting again next year.

“Liked everything! It was an amazing ...”

Liked everything! It was an amazing place in a beautiful location with stunning views. First class accommodation which was spotlessly clean with everything you could need and more! Fabulous.

- Mrs Hughes, February 2016
“Really loved the quality and ...”

Really loved the quality and location of the accommodation. The owners were friendly and caring. Will definitely stay again and hopefully the weather is better next time? If only you could control the weather!

- Mr Porter, November 2015
“The barn and its location is truly ...”

The barn and its location is truly exceptional with panoramic views and walks all around. It was a most comfortable place to spend a weeks holiday with a good village pub serving the most excellent food and a village brewery and bakery. The location of the barn is within easy reach of Windermere, Ambleside and Grassmere so there is everything for sightseeing and walkers alike.

- Mr Halsey, October 2015
“Amazing place to stay”

What an amazing cottage to stay at in the heart of the lakes. The place was perfect, we couldn't have been happier with it. Highly recommended.

“Perfect”

We were absolutely stunned by the beautiful holiday cottage. The bedrooms were incredibly spacious and stylish with ensuite bathrooms to boot. The cottage was ideally situated with panaramic views of the hills. The big family kitchen was a delight to cook in, and the facilities all round were faultless. The cottage was beautifully clean and very high spec. Lovely, friendly owners. Can't wait to book again!
