Excellent, very clean, well furnished.

This is an excellent house in superb state of repair with very good quality furniture. It is very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The booking process was simple and Martin Wardle of the agents was extremely helpful. The house is situated in a village which is very near Kendal, the lakes and just over one hour to the Solway coast. There are some very good dining places in the area with our favourite being The Watermill Inn which has its own micro brewery producing very tasty beers. All in all we had a very enjoyable holiday and brought back many memories of when I worked there in the 1970s. If it is available we would certainly stay at Holme Cottage in the future. Thankyou very much to all concerned.

Great Accommodation

We rented this place out for 5 adults staying for 3 days for the Kendao Mountain Festival. Great location for the festival and for exploring nearby via car. The place was big enough for us as a close group of friends and we had everything we needed. Really friendly and responsive host!

Amazing cottage in a fabulous location

We had an amazing holiday, the location was stunning with the scenery of beautiful mountains all around. As well a really nice river flows through the village. The village is nice and peaceful and with Windermere being very close by we visited it twice in our three night holiday. The cottage was very decent and clean being the perfect size house. All in all we had a fabulous time.

Great property in great location

The cottage was in a small village, much quieter than the larger towns in the Lake District. Cottage was clean, comfortable and well stocked. Neighbours friendly and helpful. Would recommend the property for a holiday in the Lake District.

Wonderfully experience

Melanie was fantastic and extremely helpful in ensuring that we had the best stay. From taking our calls post 12am to providing advice on local attractions Melanie was always there to help. The cottage was great, cosy, clean and had all the essential utensils etc that one would require for a weekend stay. We will certainly be back.

A great stay

I would recommend this place to stay, a lovely location, the village has a great local pub and the local railway station is just at the top of the road, which was handy to pop into Windermere.

Great break away

We had a lovely break the house was a great size for the four of us, the bedrooms are a decent size, the provision of equipment was also good more plates and mugs etc than just the bare minimum four often provided. The heating kept the house warm and cosy. Although set back from the road through a gennel it does make for a quiet place. We loved it!

Fantastic Cottage & Village

Had an amazing week away in this fantastic cottage in the centre of picturesque Staveley. The place was immaculate & had lots of little extras not usually provided in a holiday let. Booking was easy & communication was excellent. The caretaker was brilliant checking on us throughout our time to ensure we were happy. Staveley is not only beautiful but is a perfect base for exploring the Lakes. It has many shops, takeaways, cafés, pub, Hawkshead Brewery, small artisan businesses, play park & local walks. Despite this, the village was always peaceful with very little traffic. The facilities were all in a 10 minute stride of our tranquil cottage. The neighbours were all really friendly & helpful too. We would definitely recommend it to others.

Wonderful Cottage/Peaceful Location

This was a wonderfully situated cottage in a wonderful location. The process was smooth from booking on the site and check in to check out. Staveley has some good small businesses catering to most, if not all, needs. Special mention must go to Hawkshead Brewery and More Bakery which gave us something to look forward to when we returned from walking to Potter Tarn. I would definitely recommend booking this wonderful cottage to anyone.

A little gem, tucked away in a lovely village. Nipping clean and very well equipped with everything we needed, good quality bedding and comfy furnishing. Parking was a bit tricky at times but that was all explained by the property manager prior to our visit. An excellent price for such a delightful property

Great base for a stay at the Lake District.

The cottage is clean, quiet and spacious. The property manager was easily contactable and very helpful. We had a great time staying here. Only 15 minutes to Windermere and not far to some of the other lakes.
