Ees Wyke Country House is an elegant Georgian property in the Lake District, less than 3 miles from the town of Hawkshead. We were immediately welcomed and given a tour of the beautiful building, including the garden and the two lounges. Everywhere was kept toasty thanks to the fire places, and there were lots of books and board games available to pass the time. Our room was spacious, clean and kept supplied with lush hot chocolate, tea, etc. We had a fantastic view of the lake too. The staff were absolutely wonderful and couldn't be more helpful. Had a lovely chat with Ed one day, then Angela the next! The food was fantastic, I would highly recommend grabbing at least one dinner there, and definitely go down for breakfast every day. Wonderful selection, and exceedingly tasty. Incredibly cooked by the owner and solo chef, Richard!

Shepherds View, a property with a garden, is set in Keswick, 20 km from Buttermere, 32 km from Askham Hall, as well as 33 km from World of Beatrix Potter. The location was perfect. Just outside of Keswick not too far if you wanted to walk into the town to save hassle of trying to find parking during the busy day. Moreover, the location of Shepherds view offers amazing views over Keswick and two of the lakes. The owner was very kind and caring about our stay and made sure we were happy and let us know if we needed anything we’d know where to find them. Another thing that we found super helpful and a nice touch was the folder left on the kitchen table full of different activities you can do such as different tours of all the lakes etc…as well as letting us know of nearby walks places to eat and must see locations. Furthermore, the Lodge itself had modern appliances all round but still provided that warm cosy lodge feeling.

Situated 6.9 km from Derwentwater Lake, Oakside Cottage Braithwaite features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. This cottage was absolutely perfect - it had everything we needed and more. It was larger than expected and very comfortable for a family of four. The location is excellent to base yourself for many amazing walks in the Lake District. We really appreciated the collection of brochures and guidebooks available in the cottage to help us plan our walks. The pub next door is wonderful. Jayne and Trev are very responsive and friendly hosts. We really hope to come back one day. This was our favourite stop on our trip around the UK.

Situated in Ambleside and only 10 km from World of Beatrix Potter, The Retreat - Luxury Home, Ambleside features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. The location is great, in the middle of the town center however it was very quiet. Good location for vacation in the Lake District. The house was one of the best accommodation we’ve been to! Very clean, looks new and had with all the required kitchen equipment. Thanks for the welcome basket, it looks you’ve thought of everything. We loved it!!

Offering city views, Chapel Lodge is an accommodation set in Ambleside, 16 km from Lake Windermere and 28 km from Derwentwater Lake. Probably the best self-catering accommodation I have ever stayed in. If I could give Dwarf Studio 11/10, I would! Spacious, light-filled, clean, comfortable with all the conveniences a traveller needs. Comfortable bed, streaming services and sunny courtyard were additional bonuses. Also loved the welcome packs. Walking distance to Ambleside town centre and free parking metres away.
