What a beautiful, cosy, peaceful cottage. Chocolate box gorgeous from the rose over the door to the lovely mix of old and new decor. The bottle of wine waiting for us was a thoughtful touch. We just didn’t want to leave and have already booked again.
The Blacksmiths Cottage, Pooley Bridge

The accommodation is beautifully presented, finished to a really high standard. A few lovely little quirks in the property give it real character. Very close to the centre of Keswick, this is the ideal location if venturing into town or heading off to the hills. We particularly loved the old railway line from Keswick to Threlkeld, with breathtaking scenery and great for a family cycle without worrying about busy roads, particularly with two children racing off ahead. Overall a lovely few days in the Lakes, with an immaculate base to venture out from.
Anley Cottage, Keswick

My husband and I stayed at Waters Edge, Talkin Tarn 30 May to 6 June and from the moment we entered the cottage we were absolutely delighted with our choice of accommodation and location. The view over the Tarn from the double patio doors is uninterrupted and stunning, and the furnishings throughout the cottage are of high quality. There is lots of crockery and utensils available, plus cleaning products for your use if required. The bed was very comfortable with lovely crisp bedding. Free parking in the nearby carpark is not a problem with lots of security cameras, although I doubt whether these are necessary. There are lovely walks direct from the cottage and we walked around the Tarn at least once every day and enjoyed coffee plus cake at the lovely cafe located half way around. On an evening we were delighted to be visited by two little ducks, who squeezed under the garden gate and looked at us through the patio doors – they love sliced grapes. All in all a 100% excellent rated holiday accommodation and we highly recommend. Thank you to the owners for sharing it with us.
