“Beautiful cottage with excellent facilities” We stayed in February at Swallow's Nest and could not have been happier with the accommodation. Everything was very stylish, everything had been thought of and we were warm and cosy despite the February chill. The log fire is lovely to snuggle around. The situation is excellent for the northern Lakes with great access to the M6 and a66. Could not have been happier with things.

“Very clean and well presented . Plan to stay again soon” We really enjoyed our stay. In fact it only rained on the last day! Would recommend it to as a get away for couples

“Spacious, clean and well positioned holiday home” Hunter's Chase is a large, modern well equipped house, ideally positioned for visiting the Northern Lake District. We visited with a large, mixed age group of 9 from an 8 year old to Grandad in his 80s. All of the bedrooms were well appointed with plenty of storage space. A total of 4 bathrooms plus a downstairs cloakroom meant there were no arguments or queues for the toilet! The two main bedrooms were equipped with large flat screen tvs as well as the lounge. We also made good use of the wi-fi in the house. The kitchen was newly fitted and very well equipped with every type of crockery, cutlery and cooking implement you might require as well as a dishwasher and a large fridge freezer. It's located in a lovely village (although we never tried the pub) with the actual position being very quiet with views over fields and a large garden good for playing ball games. Pooley Bridge nearby has several pubs and a lovely beach by the river and Penrith, also not far away, is a traditional market town with facilities including a swimming pool, cinema and the normal array of supermarkets.

“Nice cottage” We had a lovely holiday staying at this cottage,spacious with private garden(despite the weather). The local pub served very nice food although probably more expensive than further afield. Good location for getting to most areas Just a couple of niggles...No towels are provided and there is only one tiny wardrobe in the master bedroom, no others at all!

“Slenty of room, relaxing, and very homely.” We had a wonderful week at the cottage, the location is wonderful, plenty of choice for eating and drinking.wonderful walkes.We hope to go back soon.

“Great Cottage, Plenty of Room and the facilities on site are fan” We stayed in Parklands with 4 young children, 2 grand Parents & 4 adults. Ther is plenty of room and we didn't once feel on top of each other. There was a secure gate at the top of the spiral stair case which could be locked, so we could allow the little ones to roam freely without fear of them falling down. The cottage was lovely and warm and the wood burner added to the comfort. The staff onsite are very welcoming and they have got two great childrens play area's. We would go there again in a flash.

“A very clean , spacious and ideally located property situated in” The property has space in abundance with no less than 4 settees in the lounge,a good sized dining room and a lovely kitchen.Outside there was ample parking and a lovely patio area at the rear,together with a good sized garden.

“brilliant” lovely cottage, Ideal for a couple, very well maintained. Great pub next door which is also dog friendly. Great location but easy to get to nearby main routes. Would recommend it to anyone.

“Great holiday cottage in a lovely area.” The cottage was really lovely. The kitchen was wonderful with everything you would wish for. The roll top bath was wonderful. The barn is on a working farm but this didn't affect the holidayin any way. The owners were very nice and friendly. There was also a staic caravan site belonging to the farm, which was beautifully kept. Pooley Bridge was in walking distance as was the lake and the steamers. All in all a lovely place with plenty to do.

“This holiday home was fantastic and the family really enjoyed be” The upstairs living area was very spacious and nicely decorated and the kitchen was equipped with all modern kitchen appliances. The balcony/upstairs patio had a good view of Ullswater Lake and was a great area to relax in. Bathroom areas and bedrooms were new looking and clean. The on-line photos do not quite give it full credit. We would definitely recommend this home to our friends and will return before long.

“Very peaceful” Even though its next to a guest house it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Very clean and modern interior was the highlight. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“Romantic honeymoon location” Blacksmiths Cottage is positioned on the edge of Pooley Bridge with views out across open countryside. Although directly adjacent to the road it has it's own private garden, a lovely cottage style garden to the side. Parking is also accommodated for a short distance away. The property appointed internally to a high specification with good quality fixtures and fittings ( John Lewis, Laura ashley ) Blacksmiths Cottage has been well laid out internally and is spacious for two people, with all the comforts of home. For those visiting in the winter months there is also a wood burning stove to ensure warm evenings. All local amenities are within a very short walking distance away ( inclusive of 3 Pubs ) and of course the beautiful Ullswater Lake itself. We would highly recommend Blacksmiths Cottage for couples. We had a great stay and will be sure to return in the future.

“very enjoyable stay with fantastic view & location” Our stay at Park Lodge was fantastic and we look forward to going again next year. We was a very mixed age group from 3 months old - 55 years of age and we had two border collies with us who deffinatly had the most fun out of everyone on the holiday. The location, accomadation, views and dog friendly walks were fantastic and we would recommend anyone to stay here. Although i would make people aware that Park lodge accomadation is based at the top of a very steap hill, so we are glad my nana didnt come as she wouldnt of been able to manage it. Also in the master bedroom their isn't any other plug sockets, apart from the ones that are based behind the bed and the washing machine wasn't working correctly. Overall i would highly recommend families with dogs and outdoor people to stay at Park Lodge and i hope they have as much fun as we did.

“Lovely” Large spacious property, excellent value. In a beautiful location.

“Perfect for a chill out break” I rented the lodge along with my two sisters and my Mum for a family get together. It was perfect. The lodge is finished to a very high standard with stunning views from the balcony. It had everything we needed to have a perfect break.

“Did what you needed it to do, but no frills” The park was fine. Views were great of Ullswater as the park is right on the lake). It is a fairly short walk to Pooley Bridge and the steamer so you don't have to drive and pay for parking. We chose the cheapest cabin and it wasn't at all luxurious, but it had what we needed - 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen which had lots of utensils, TV, electric radiators in the bedrooms. There was no safe place around the cabin where the children could play (two boys, 3.5 and 1.5) as one way led to the road and the other way led to someone elses cabin (we found our youngest in the other peoples cabin on the day we arrived). It was a bit dark inside and on the days where it rained it wasn't really that nice to stay in and relax so we went out to find inside activities. But overall it was fine - probably better suited for adults or people with older children. There are other much nicer cabin types in the Park which would probably be better to stay in if you pay a bit more...
