Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent little guest house for a short stay in the Lake District. Victor checked us in and looked after us for breakfast. He’s a lovely lad super friendly nothing was too much trouble."

Paradise in the Lake District.

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment is in a location, on the hillside, amongst trees and overlooking a wildlife pond.The onsite swimming pool was appreciated by our grandson, he loved it. Despite being on a holiday "site" it is quiet and feels secluded.It is well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable.We would not normally stay in a property on a site, and didn't realise this one was, but we would not hesitate to return."

Victorian House

10/10 Excellent

"A best place to stay. Perfect location with parking. The staff was really friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and tidy. Loved staying here. And will be booking again whenever visiting nearby areas."

Beck Allans Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely guesthouse in center of Grasmere, walking distance to everything, including to Dove Cottage (Wordsworth’s home) and several trail heads. Great breakfast cooked to order."

Cottage In Beautiful Woodland Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"The property was lovely, very relaxing and quaint. The only problem with the weekend was actually locating the property, the post code isn't recognised and the property really is in the woods, none of the locals had heard of it when we asked at pubs / shops etc. A hard copy in the post with few a photos of landmarks en-route (pub, car parks, entrance to country lanes etc) to form a pictorial guide would help tremendously. Note the mobile reception in the area is quite iffy, print off all the instructions given by Sue the host.Also, when using the Vrbo app, the number / link given to contact the host said not recognized. All the above taken into consideration, the property and area really are worth a visit."
