Perfect for a large group

Huge house with 5 large bedrooms each with on-suite. Large dining room with a table easily seating 12 adults. Comfortable lounge, plenty of seats and a kitchen with an island. Ample parking and lovely rear garden. We found the house very clean and our host’s very helpful. The village has 4 great pubs serving breakfast, lunches and dinner. Perfect location to explore the Lakes.

Large comfortable house, easily accomodated family of 7 in five double bedrooms.

Large comfortable house, easily accomodated family of 7 in five double bedrooms. Friendly owner next door. Nice having ensuite facilities for each room. Was pleased to see the house was clean and well maintained. Spacious living area downstairs. Large garden with a trampoline the youngest memebers of our group enjoyed. Only bug bear was wifi strength, which was poor throughout the property. Not much to do in Pooley Bridge: a few small shops, a couple of pubs and a tea room, but a convenient place from which to explore the Ullswater area. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would happily book again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This is our ninth family holiday and the nicest house we have stayed in.

This is our ninth family holiday and the nicest house we have stayed in. Owners were lovely Holly House was clean, spacious and very comfortable with a lovely patio area. Pooley Bridge was nice and I am sure will improve once the bridge is open but would have liked a little more to do, i.e. a few more shops, places to eat and perhaps a coffee shop and a fish and chip shop to give the place a bit more atmosphere. Having said that, a great place to explore the North Lakes. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Perfect

Perfect house and perfect location. We stayed 3 nights. Our second day summed up what an awesome place this is...breakfast at a local cafe, steamer on a crisp autumn day to Aira Force, walk around the waterfalls in the autumn colours, back to Pooley Bridge, amazing Sunday lunch at The Sun Inn, another walk up the big hill across the bridge, back down to the village for ice cream and beers, back to the snuggly house for Harry Potter and red wine. Kids loved it, we loved it, will be coming back. 😀😀😀

Lovely house with a great downstairs living area.

Lovely house with a great downstairs living area....two large rooms for eight people to comfortably eat and relax in. The five bedrooms were all very comfortable and each having a bathroom helped get everyone out the door that much quicker on a morning. It will always rain a little...or a lot in The Lakes so having a base that acts as a home from home is a big asset. If you were looking for improvements....the kitchen is large but lacks sufficient food storage areas and none of the bedrooms had a full wardrobe. All in all we would revisit in a heartbeat.
