Easter holiday

It was amazing to stay at Rachael home in a pretty countryside. The property is just 30 mins away from the Lakes and it was very quiet and peaceful holiday with family. The house was very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the house and enjoyed our trip.

This house was magical for my family trip to England! Myself, husband, my parents and 88 year old grandmother stayed here. The house had everything we could need for our stay. (down to a hairdryer with diffuser for curly hair like mine!) More than ample space for us all together. The town is nice, and we explored the area on foot, great food and amazing views all within a few minutes walk. I was so happy with this house, and look forward to staying there again.

Lovely property; would stay again

Enjoyed our stay. Lovely property, very spacious, clean, warm and well equipped. Enclosed rear yard is a safe space for pets or children. The road in front is a dead end so there are very few passing vehicles. Lots of places to visit within an hour's drive. Would definitely stay again.

Great property

Really enjoyed our week at the Stables. House had pretty much everything we needed, lovely village (I'd recommend Old School Brewery for a couple of pints). Great walks on the doorstep, and a short drive to the coast or the south Lakes. I'd recommend for families or a group of friends, the property is much larger than I thought it was from the photos!

Lovely holiday property

Large holiday home with all the facilities needed for self catering. Always warm to come back to which we needed for our stay in January. The owner was very helpful. Excellent location and very handy for well signed walks and RSPB Leighton Moss. Would definitely recommend The George Washington for a meal but need to book.

Lovely spacious property with everything you need

We hired this cottage for our relatives for a wedding; we did not actually stay there ourselves, although Anne, who lives across the road, was kind enough to show us round. Communication throughout was excellent and our family really enjoyed their stay.
