We had a lovely time at Gill Beck Barn. It is extremely well equipped for both humans and dogs alike. Well maintained inside and out, garden is enclosed and felt safe for the dogs. We also particularly enjoyed the bbq and fire pit on the single warm and sunny evening we had during our stay!

Well appointed, warm, comfortable and clean. Secluded and peaceful, a perfect retreat suitably situated for visiting the Lake District but out of the way of the hustle and bustle. Looking forward to visiting again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Rowan Retreat. The hut was so cosy and peaceful and had everything you need. The area was tranquil but within a short drive of everything you need, plus close to the lake district. Perfect stay and would definitely come again!

Had a fabulous solo stay in these fantastic shepherd huts. Lovely welcome pack and the hut was toasty and warm for my arrival. Relaxing surroundings for a peaceful break. Lots of walks /places to visit on the website/ instruction book. The hut had everything i hoped for – comfortable bed , well equipped kitchen , a shower that felt like you were in a hotel not a shepherds hut. Lovely lake district products in the bathroom. Everything was provided from the charcoal to the logs for the fire pit. Had the best stay and cant wait to return again.

I booked Melmerby Hall for a family reunion and it was just lovely. It is a beautiful house, like something out of Pride and Prejudice and it felt a real privilege to get to stay there. There is a lovely large table with a huge skylight over the top we ate most of our meals at as a big family. The kids had a fantastic time roaming the house and gardens. I would love to go back and stay again.

We so love staying at Elk Cottage. The welcome we get plus the quality of the cottage is excellent. The proprietors are so willing to please, but most of all, the peace and beauty of the Eden Valley is unsurpassed, but don’t tell anyone!

Hause Hall is quite remote, about 2 miles from Pooley Bridge, accessed by a single track lane. Nevertheless, the location and views from the property are amazing. The property, main building and two smaller accommodations were immaculate and extremely well presented. Our group of 8 felt immediately at home. Christine was easy to communicate with and responsive to messages when needed. There was absolutely nothing to grumble about and we would certainly consider returning if we ventured up to this area again. It’s our yearly treat, getting together, and taking on a few adventures (this year was Kayaking, Via Feratta extreme, and a tab over Striding Edge and Swirral Edge). Having a warm, welcoming, and luxurious property to return to adds that little extra to a wonderful few days away.

Lovely accommodation for a family celebration, booked Cazenovia and Wythburn together. Good to have en-suite facilities for each room. Furniture and fittings suitable for property type. Well appointed kitchen and facilities. Welcome packs had local good quality products which is appreciated. Beautiful gardens, tendered to and kept tidy, enjoyed looking at the flowers. Great views across the landscape. Christine was very responsive to queries prior to stay. Useful to have separate utility for dog equipment and dog shower outside. Luckily the weather stayed mostly fine so didn’t need to use these, but dog families will appreciate these. One member of the group enjoyed stay so much she painted a small thank you card in watercolours inspired by the flower garden to leave to say thanks. Recommended.

We stayed here for a weekend as a group of four families with young children and there was more than plenty space to accommodate us all. We enjoyed the garden with beautiful views in all directions and lovely walks from the door without having to drive anywhere. The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Many thanks for a lovely weekend break.
