We had an amazing time welcoming friends and family to join us to celebrate my hubbies birthday. The property is excellent! It’s well equipped on every level, with flexible accommodation offering large spaces for us all and space to be in smaller groups/ get some quiet time. Ample parking, safe gated area for the dogs and a scenic walk to an amazing eatery in the Horse and Farrier in Dacre. Superbly positioned to get to amazing places, towns and walks it really is a base for all seasons. We will be back, again!
Home Farm is a beautiful well appointed property in a great location in the Northern Lakes, only a short drive from Ullswater and Dewentwater. The cottage is really well appointed with super comfy beds. The garden is beautiful- make sure to feed the red squirrels they are such a delight. Despite being close to the A66 there is little or no road noise and it’s only a quick drive into Penrith where the neared supermarkets are located. Kate was really friendly and the welcome hamper was a wonderful treat. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.
The gardeners retreat is a lovely, modern cabin set in a walled garden and as such is beautifully quiet and peaceful. The wood fired hot tub is a real treat and makes this almost a DIY spa break which is both fun and relaxing. Things to be aware of - the Herdwick Inn is significantly easier to walk to than the Horse & Farrier due to a cycle way, and does amazing pies as an aside. My only criticism would be that our one sunset was slightly marred by the gardeners mowing the lawn for what felt like an hour with the noisiest petrol mower and strimmer known to mankind. That aside it was a lovely p...more
We stayed for 2 nights and on arrival the cabin was so clean and we had a lovely little welcome basket with some goodies in. Unfortunately we weren’t blessed with the weather so didn’t get to use the hot tub but still had a lovely stay without it. Highly recommend the cabins
Excellent cottage. Quiet peaceful location. Everything you could think of was here. Would recommend.
A cosy cabin in a great location with easy access to Keswick, Penrith and lots of local walks. The cabin was nicely decorated, comfortable and clean with a very well stocked kitchen. The setting was very peaceful and relaxing, with plenty of green spaces to take the dog, the viewing area was a particular highlight. The only disappointment from our stay was with the Hot tub. We followed the clear instructions that were provided for appropriate use of the wood fired hot tub, but even after having the fire running for 2.5 - 3hours, the water was still not warm enough and we were unable to use it....more
Excellent location to explore the North Lakes. Cabin concept & layout .. along with the beautiful view (from the platform) and efficient service ensured my stay was hassle free!
We had such a fabulous stay at Bluebell over the weekend. Kate and the team were very responsive prior to our arrival and when we arrived there was a welcome hamper with wine, biscuits and other goodies. The cabin has high quality furnishings including Joseph Joesph utencils and a hot tap for tea/coffee. We spent a lot of time outside walking/hiking but it felt so cosy coming back to the cabin each day to settle down and relax. The underfloor heating was a dream and we'd definitely recommend this property to explore the northern lakes and surrounding areas. We'll be back, thanks Kate, Alan a...more
