House holiday rentals in Borrowdale

We had a lovely stay at Francesca's home to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. 6 adults and 3 children were easily accommodated, and the space allowed us to have a fun catch-up. Fran's printed information sheets were great, and allowed us to make the most of our time there. Friendly, responsive host. We hope to be back!

We loved this stay, felt at home quickly, everything we needed was there and it was super clean and tidy! Our dog enjoyed his stay and settled well, he even had some treats left for him which were his favourite! And we had some lovely treats left for us too! Such a lovely welcoming touch! Very responsive hosts, gave great suggestions on local places to eat! Would very much like to stay here again!

Fabulous lodge, beautifully decorated for Christmas with a lovely festive welcome pack waiting for us on arrival. The beds were comfy and a good size unlike other lodges we've stayed in. Peaceful site which is close to plenty of restaurants and other amenities. Good communication from the host. We had a perfect family Christmas staying here and enjoyed it so much, we've already booked another stay.

The accommodation is immaculate, modern and well equipped. The scenery is beautiful and the hosts were lovely, accommodating and responsive. A great experience from start to finish, thank you for a fantastic break away.

We loved our stay at School House over the holiday period. It was beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree and other decorations. Felt very homely. We cooked Christmas dinner at the Airbnb which went perfectly. We walked into town everyday which was only a 5-10 min stroll and there is also a good softplay for the kids a 5 min walk away by Lidl. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Family of 4 stayed 3 nights in October 2024 and it was just what we needed. Had some beautiful long walks along the beach. The caravan was home from home, clean and cosy. It had everything you could want for cooking a simple breakfast to Sunday Roast. Clean and respectful surroundings around the park. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

The house is in a superb position overlooking Ambleside with all shops and amenities close by. Beds were very comfortable and everywhere was warm despite some chilly weather. Kitchen has just about all the pots, pans and utensils that you could ever need so cooking meals in was made a lot easier. Having said that, the delights of Ambleside's pubs and restaurants are an easy walk DOWN into town. Don't forget the hill back home after a big meal with a couple of drinks! We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Our family had a lovely stay at Burrowbank at the end of the summer holiday. The house is fantastic with all the facilities you could ask for. The kids loved the swings and most of all the pool, while the covered (heated) BBQ area meant evening meals outside watching the sunset. Great location and setting, very private and we would definitely come again and recommend to others. Martyn and Christine were very helpful and went the extra mile (even posting my daughter’s disposable camera that she left behind). Can’t think of any negatives and we made some great/happy memories.

Great stay at a view from within. David was a great communicator from the start which made things easy, very friendly host. The property is only a short walk from the centre of bowness but is still private and peaceful at the same time. The property itself is huge and probably even better in person than on the photos. Everyone was delighted with their rooms. The living room was a lovely cosy place to sit together at night and the jacuzzi/pool room was amazing, a great place to chill, shoot some pool or even just hang out at the bar area. It is a dog friendly property which meant our 2 Boston terriers were able to enjoy this luxury property with us. The kitchen was well stocked with any utensils you would need and even though the Ice cube maker was out of order during our trip the hosts had even stocked the freezer up with ice for us. Great hosts and great property, highly recommended!

Would 100% recommend staying at the Riverain Coach House. We recently stayed with some friends and enjoyed local walks close to the house, a good selection of local pubs nearby but would recommend pre-booking to avoid disappointment. However with Penrith and shops being only 10 minutes away, it wasn't a problem. The house has been done up beautifully and is really well equipped. Christine was great, providing lots of helpful information before our stay and the welcome hamper went down a treat. Thank you so much, we would 100% stay again.

I booked on behalf of some gentlemen we had working in Barrow, Kelly was fantastic, she was on hand, fast replies, patient and very helpful. She met our needs fantastically and quickly, Managed to get cleaners out to the house asap for us. I cannot fault her. Amazing.

The house was as described. Very quiet on an evening. Great location for walking in the lakes following our walk up Scarfell Pike and Ennerdale. It’s not particularly a tourist location but a great base! All locals really friendly and Everything was expected and described.

Lovely quaint little place! Perfect location to walk down to the lakefront through Bowness. Check in was easy and the place was clean. Definitely recommend and was perfect for what we needed.

I had a wonderful relaxing stay with my elderly parents. Georgie gave me so much information and loads of tips during the week, and generally was super friendly and helpful. Her place was warm, welcoming, and very well kitted out for a family week. The location in Bowness village is ideal, just on the edge of the busy tourist area only a few minutes walk away, and very close to everything. The bus stop is right outside the guest house which is spot on for the 599 which goes around the Windermere and Grasmere area and is a great sight-seeing option. Thanks Georgie for a lovely stay, highly recommend your lovely place and hospitality!

This was the second time I have stayed at White Craggs. It is in a great location close to restaurants and shops as well as being extremely convenient for exploring The South Lakes and beyond. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. Highly recommended and we hope to visit again.

Lovely, unique place to stay, close to town. Gary's instructions were really clear and the property was easy to find and check into. Bonus having a parking permit, and as everything we needed was so close we just parked up and left the car. We were visiting family so felt right at home. Many thanks 😊

Azy is a great host and Hibert road was lovely. I would definitely recommend and be rebooking. Thank you so much.

Extremely clean and catered home. It was perfect for our stay.

An absolutely amazing place. We found ourselves at home and with all the convenient amenities required for a great holiday. Very spacious and situated in a perfect location. Above all, Brenda was simply amazing, taking time to explain everything and giving us excellent recommendations. She was so helpful and always contactable. We will certainly be returning to this beautiful cottage.

Beatiful and relaxing space, can hold a lot of people without getting on top of each other. Great for large groups of people with plenty of flexibility for gathering and privacy.

The house was absolutely as advertised -5* accommodation with no expense spared! Very comfortable beds, well equipped modern kitchen and all bathrooms modern and extremely clean. The outside space was excellent. Safe and secure for children and pets alike. The hot tub was an added luxury that just made our stay perfect. Its location was spot on with shops, bars, cafes and restaurants all within literally a 5 minute walk so no need to drive. We will definitely return when we want to visit Windermere again. This holiday home is a great example of how one should be presented and run! Home from home! 👍🏻😊

Amazing 300+ years old Grade-2 listed house with fantastic feel still retained. On top Joyce and Lucy are amazing hosts. My 6 year old even struck up a great conversation with Lucy and they started playing a board game of sorts :-) They always kept us informed, and ensured the house is kept warm all time. Easily accessible to some local villages, the beach and also just half an hour away from the Lake districts. Only point I will make is if they can offer a small kitchen facility that will be great for families. Having said that -it wasn't a problem at all as beverage, cutlery and crockeries were all provided. Plus free milk, juice etc. And we actually enjoyed some wonderful takeaways who deliver within 30 mins. Jasmine Palace - the chinese was great.

The photos don’t do the cottage justice to be honest, it’s a very well provisioned little cottage and perfect for our night’s stopover. Well stocked kitchen, close to the shops, beautiful garden, and warm and cosy for our arrival despite our short notice booking! Our kids loved re-filling the bird feeders too, as an optional part of our checkout process.

Great space & very easier to get into Keswick
