“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.

“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.

“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...

“Lovely, comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting!” Our group of five women loved this cottage in the beautiful Lake District of England. We had everything we needed and especially liked the separate dining room, the lovely patio area, laundry facilities and the well-appointed kitchen. It was within easy walking distance of bus routes and the center of the lovely town of Keswick. Steep stairs to bedrooms might be a problem for disabled or older travelers, and WiFi would have been helpful, but our overall experience was an excellent one, and I'd highly recommend this property.

“This cottage is compact, comfortable and well equipped, a little” We have booked with Lakes Cottage Holidays before and again everything was simple & very straightforward. The cottage was warm, compact and had everything we needed for our weekend away with the dog. It has been renovated to a high standard, comfortable and tasteful furnishings, heating was easy to control, as was the shower. It was located close to the town centre, just a short walk away, we love Keswick and feel its our second home! We hope to return to this lovely cottage again soon.

“Really lovely, clean and welcoming cottage” We stayed here with our three boys, and found the cottage excellent. There was a hiccup in the booking, but we were quickly contacted by the agent to explain things. A warm welcome from the owners on arrival and the boys were shown the field and barn where there was table tennis and footballs waiting... The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, well looked after and had everything we needed. Don't be put off by being near a main road - it is quiet at night and the view of fields and sheep is still there... The place was very cosy and welcoming - we would happily go back.

“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
