What our guests say

Great for the outdoors! For the walker, runner or cyclist the location is perfect. My first experience of cycling in the Lake District was the Fred Whitton Challenge 110 mile charity event, which introduced me to the roads the local area has to offer. The…

Great location, lovely village, comfortable cottage. We stayed in Scafell with a large group of both friends and family, and the weather was glorious! After a day's walking on the fells we enjoyed a barbeque dinner most evenings in the lovely garden, by the river.…

Location is 'To Die For'. Beautiful cottage in an awesome location . It's very rural so don't go if you're a dedicated townie. You have to make your own nightlife unless you drive out somewhere. Four of us went so we didn't get bored, it…

We had a good week here in June. Sadly the weather was not particulary good so we weren't really able to enjoy the pool, grounds or barbecue. However, if it had been dry these facilities would have been fantastic and the pool and grounds were…

We were 3 generations aged between 86 and 21 and all of us have only good things to say about La Garenne. It was like staying in a rural 5 star facility with everything you could ever need. The welcome pack on our arrival was…

Fantastic place to stay - Couldn't fault anything about our stay at Stanley Ghyll cottage in Boot. The accomodation is clean, comfortable and in such beautiful surroundings. Boot feels miles away from the outside world but the cottages are very close to two great hostelries…

A very special place. This was a vacation we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottages are charming and delightfully situated at the end of a quiet private lane. Tasteful furnishings and modern amenities in the cottages provide every comfort, while features such as cross-timbers and partly exposed…

We have stayed at Stanley Ghyll Cottage on many occasions over the past four years as we love it so much. The cosy cottage feels welcoming as soon as you enter and has every facility you need as well as a few added personal touches.…

Absolutely amazing, the best honeymoon a couple could ask for! Well what can I say, from the very first email enquiry to Greg and the very prompt and informative reply, I knew this was the place to spend our honeymoon. I guess I just had…

We stayed in Hardknott Cottage for two weeks in June. The service was excellent. The property owner was staying next door and was very helpful in making our stay as pleasant as possible. He knows the Lake District and his recommendations about places to visit…

As a keen hill walker, I have spent many weekends and holidays in the Lake District over the last 15 years. I can honestly say that this is probably my best 'find' in the Lakes in all this time. The accommodation at Bridge End Farm…

Excellent location, pubs, & good walks nearby, superb accommodation - I have just reviewed another cottage (Stanley Ghyll) which is in the same fantastic location - so i won't repeat myself too much on the location side of this one. This is the first cottage…

Peaceful & very interesting - the site is located nearby many activities and visiting places, close to two rivers, and has very nice gardens. It represents the luxury old time life.

Bridge End Farmhouse proved a lovely stay and was all we'd hoped for. Having visited the Lakes before we opted to try a new location this time. There were many walks possible from the doorstep, whilst the Farmhouse and private garden meant staying closer to…

Boot is a lovely village in the heart of the most beautiful valley in the Lakes (and that is saying something!). We have taken our summer holiday at Bridge End Farmhouse for the last 5 years, and it is always a wonderful experience to come…

Just come back from a superb 10 day holiday at Scafell Cottage. The house was perfectly equipped and we were met by the owner who proceeded to take an hour out to show us the best walks, fishing and things to do with the kids.…

We have been in Wastwater cottage and some of the others a few times now both in Summer and Winter. The accommodation is fantastic and the location is breathtaking. Very clean and friendly. Good pubs very close by. We hope to return again later this…

We stayed at Whillan Beck cottage for the last week in July 2011. We’re really fussy about the cleanliness of holiday accommodation, so were really pleased with the excellent standard we found at Whillan Beck, it was very clean and well maintained. The cottage is…

We stayed at Whillan Beck between Christmas 2010 and New Year (we had stayed at Bridge End Farmhouse next door some years ago so knew it would be good). We had a great time. The cottage is small but perfectly formed for two people and…

We found La Garenne and Brittany so lovely. The views and walking along the river bank were stunning. We had a lovely Sunday lunch at Vallee Verte. The first few days we relaxed by the pool in nice sunny weather, but as the weather turned…

La Garenne was quiet before we arrived and quiet again after we departed! With three young boys who have certainly left an impression on rural France... However, parents are remarkably relaxed, refreshed after a glorious sunny week in a wonderful, truly stunning location. Jeanine has…

We have much enjoyed Brittany, especially cycling along le Blavet in both directions. We loved La Garenne - superb surroundings and facilities - absolutely ideal in glorious Brittany sunshine. Many thanks Jeanine.

La Grange has lived up to our expectations - truly beautiful and set in an idyllic spot! The Blavet is magnificent and at last the two avid 'pecheurs' in our party actually managed to catch a large 'something'! The weather has been mainly lovely and…

La Garenne is a beautiful place to stay. The days that we have spent by the pool have been very relaxing and enjoyable. Cycling down along the river Blavet was a fantastic experience, as was the fishing although the fish eluded us! We enjoyed visiting…
