Family-friendly holiday rentals in Dalston

Brockram Barn is simply stunning. We had a wonderful family holiday - there was everything we could possibly want, and more! Of course, the hot tub and table tennis were fun extras, but Harriet had thought of everything and equipped the home to an extremely high standard and, as a family of five, we had plenty of space. We loved the area and did many of the suggested walks and activities, plus a few more! It was so good to be amongst the sheep, surrounded by green fields and wildlife with beautiful, ever-changing views. Thank you, Harriet and family, for a truly great time!

Lovely place to stay! We enjoyed our stay here. The house was huge and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table and darts board. The sauna is also an amazing addition. Would recommend. ☺️

this is our second stay here and it's a brilliant little spot. hot tub is lovely and the accommodation is all well appointed. great walks by the river and good enclosed garden for dogs. we'll be back for a third visit I'm sure!

Third time we’ve stayed at High Biggin with wider family. This time a commitment ceremony. Paul went well beyond the call of duty meeting us months beforehand so we could visit to work out exactly how and in what spaces to make it happen. Everything went perfectly. As we’d planned HB was a great place for us all to relax and enjoy ourselves. The mid-March weather was unexpectedly glorious. Even got to try out the new hot tub! Hope to be back next year.

thanks so much to Elaine for her hospitality. the Lodge is lovely and cozy with lots of.space...and a tumble dryer for when it rained! the welcoming cakes were a.class touch and the host was able to respond quickly and efficiently to any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back next year.

We spent a wonderful week in Mill Barn. Lots of small touches like flowers on arrival, brownies, milk in the fridge and the fire set up made the place really welcoming and inviting. Nice walk to the local pub but be prepared for the hill back up. Overall would highly recommend.

We had a lovely 3 night stay with our two young children. The cottage was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We particularly enjoyed spotting deer and lambs out of the sun room window on the morning. Then after a day exploring the surrounding area ( easily accessible by car, but also enjoyed local walking routes from the front door) we would relax in the hot tub and gaze up at the clear starry skies. The hosts were extremely friendly and let us see the new born lambs. We would definitely love to return here and we can’t recommend this place enough.

We absolutely loved our stay! The place was even better than described—so cosy and well-equipped. The jacuzzi was just amazing, with a beautiful view that made it extra special. We had such a wonderful time and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!

This is the perfect place to stay when visiting the Lakes district, the Eden Valley is just beautiful and Woodpecker Cottage is ideally located. The surrounding area is beautiful and The Highland Drove Inn is right next door and the locals made us feel very welcome. Woodpecker Cottage is a cosy and warm cottage but it has plenty of space and a magnificent bathroom. It has all the facilities you could possibly need. Hilary and Peter are wonderful responsive hosts who were on hand for our every need. The welcoming touch of providing fresh bread, butter, jam, eggs and fruit was just great. I would highly recommend Woodpecker Cottage.

A lovely stay in a beautiful bungalow that was absolutely pristine, cosy and very comfortable indeed. There was a bottle of wine and some shortbread waiting for us when we arrived! John was friendly and communicated throughout, we didn’t have any issues to ask about but if we had I’m sure we would have got a quick response. The views were wonderful and the area was really quiet and peaceful. We had some nice trips out, Threave Gardens , Moffat and Kippford stood out but the area was lovely with very friendly people. We can’t wait to return!

Our 2nd stay at Ennerdale view. Again we had all our comfort needs catered for ...we cant fault the cottage. We brought the dogs this time and they settled in the cottage to. Thankyou Anne 😃

Nice accommodation tucked away within the town centre, with the benefit of a parking space. Everything is second away, yet it was surprisingly quiet. Highly recommend.

Amazing overnight stay. Beautiful surroundings, the food In the pub was incredible. Especially the pies! Will be back again for sure. Hosts and everyone were so friendly, even being our 2 big dogs it was a great stay.

What a lovely little gem this house is highly recommended. Good location, house beautifully done very clean

Lovely stay in a warm, cosy, clean cottage. Literally a few steps to get to the centre. Had lovely meals at Cafe Italia and Tapios. Easy walk down to Bowness for lunch and a stroll. Parking is tight but you are told about this, we parked up and walked everywhere or you can get the bus. Host quick to answer question, would definitely return.

We were in the Lakes at a difficult time but Sophie was extremely sympathetic, responsive, and helpful. The cottage is a real haven of peace in an extremely beautiful place. It was easy to run and I imagine the outside would be lovely in warm weather with the noise of the stream in the garden and the birdsong. The surrounding countryside is much quieter than the main Lakeland and we thought would make excellent cycling country. Great walks less than a five minute drive. The cottage is fed by spring water which can go rather brown but it clears itself fine.

"We had a fantastic 1-day stay with 5 members at this place. The host was wonderful and accommodating, and the club facilities were a highlight for us. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and had a great time there. Overall, we had a memorable experience and would highly recommend this place to other guests looking for a relaxing getaway."

I spent a long weekend at Simon and Belinda’s place in Chapel Stile. They were abroad during my stay, but this didn’t matter - their communication was excellent and the place was superb, with lots of local recommendations. Thanks, would certainly stay again.

Great place to stay, has everything you need was clean & tidy, lovely sitting outside in the evenings with the fire pit, 5mins from Amberside town witch has everything you need, lovely walks round the area, would recommend highly.

Second time staying at Ecclerigg and was perfect again. Great property, perfect for families in a wonderful location. highly recommended!!

We had a great stay at Whitbarrow. We have visited the resort before on many occasions. We had some minor issues in the accommodation which were swiftly resolved by Seasons staff. Kal and Anita were great to communicate with leading up to and during the stay also. Very responsive and helpful. Good facilities onsite too and helpful staff. Thank you

The cabin is very rustic, has everything you need-3 TVs including in both bedrooms/Netflix/utube/all TV channels/Games/Xbox-Alexa speaker-Kitchen is extremely well equipped-you just need to get an Air Fryer keep cooking costs down-beds very comfortable-a lot of thought has gone into the cabin and its facilities-The cabin sits on the largest slot on the site with a sloping wild garden, with some fantastic trees and a swing seat the views are very peaceful although my Arnie never got the chance to enjoy it my sons dogs did. There is a swimming pool and sauna on the site which was open but we simply didn't get the chance to use it and we could have had it to ourselves, were too busy out and about-Talbot bar at bottom of lane very dog friendly and met Dave the dog who sits on reception, free pool table also-loved feeding the wild bids each morning but wasn't a fan of the owl who was up and about each night-overall a little magical cabin and land it sits on. Will visit again-All the best PM

We had a great weekend at Fir Garth. The house was well equipped for our group of 10: Good sized en-suite bedrooms with comfy beds and cosy duvets, a really well equipped kitchen ( we did lots of cooking), the main living was a great sized space, a projector, games, an extra snug room, outdoor space etc. The location was excellent, pub and shop within walking distance, excellent walks in the area, a beautiful view, quiet, easily accessible. We all agreed we would definitely come to the house again.

Beautiful remote location (but still easy to access Ambleside), lovely views from the property and everything you need inside including a plate of brownies waiting for us when we arrived. Great facilities (use of the pool and sauna). Walks from the doorstep.
