Cottage vacation rentals in Helvellyn

We loved this place! Its peaceful with good local walks, a pub just down the road. Tea and coffee and a loaf of bread were provided which was very welome. We'd brought our 2 dogs along, and Soraya had thoughfully left some dog treats out too. Just outside there was a hot tub, which was a real bonus, and a great way to relax after a day out walking.

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Beautiful stay, the cottage was incredibly clean and well presented, the bathroom was gorgeous, and the hot tub was excellent. Fab location and great little walk down to the river at the back. 10/10

Such a Lovely place too stay and great to relax, clean comfortable such a warm homely feeling from the minute you Get through the door, we would definitely come back

We really enjoyed our stay at this airbnb. The surroundings and building itself are beautiful. We fell in love with the very friendly cat who visited us many times. The balcony and garden are gorgeous and we got incredibly lucky with the weather. It maybe wasn’t as private as the listing suggests but it wasn’t much of an issue for us. The hosts were incredibly helpful to bring us plenty of bottled water while the water mains in the area were having some problems. We had a fantastic stay here.

Fab place to stay for outdoor adventures.

We really enjoyed our stay. Barneys cottage is a lovely house, with great character and very nicely presented. The property was very clean and tidy, combining the traditional and modern features very well. Kev was also a great host - helpful when required but not intrusive. We would happily stay here again.

We had a really nice stay. The cottage was lovely and well kept with great shower facilities and little touches including a welcome pack of local produce. Sharon came to clean the hot tub each morning with the filter being changed between guests, bbq area (with large disposable BBQ to use, birds singing in a sheltered garden. Bathroom and hot tub towels provided, washing machine and tumble dryer easy to use. The beds were comfy and blackout blinds in all rooms. Beautiful surroundings; able to walk 30 minutes to an ice cream farm with play area or drive 5 minutes to Lowther castle

Had a lovely weekend in The Lakes. The accommodation was fantastic and had everything we needed for our stay. It was a very quiet location surrounded by lovely scenery. We tended to drive up towards Coniston most days to go for our walks but this was an easy drive and we would also venture into Ulverston to get food in the evening. Fab location if looking for a peaceful rural stay.

We had the most wonderful time staying at Andrea’s place. We wanted to go somewhere we could really unwind and we could do exactly that here! It was super dog friendly and Rudy loved every second of his break. The place was perfect for what we needed.

Our stay was one of the best we have had. The house was really nice and cosy and the garden was great to relax in....just the birdsong and peace and quiet. The villiage is so picturesque and the the surrounding area is beautiful with lot's of great walks We would definitely return. Phil. Emma and Hamish

There is no doubt it is beautiful decorated welcoming everything we needed The main road turning right is quite busy, 40 minutes drive to Williamson Park, 50 minutes to Lancaster We ate in the 1st night, second. Ight at the Shard, fabulous Very clean, beautiful quiet location, great secure parking, plenty of safe space for children, super patio area & hot tub ( we didn’t use) The little Coop five minutes drive away, we were planning to walk to the local pub but were unsure of the road although quiet drove to another restaurant. The heating was on even though in May, log fire, just enough for us rather than purchasing, great freezer, hot water plenty of space for families to spread around. In the visitors book families stay for Christmas now that would be wonderful as the hosts decorate the cottage that I guess would be magical

We spent a week here in wonderful Staveley. The property was perfectly sized for 2 adults plus dog, and was so conveniently located for walks, amenities and public transport (we did not bring a car). The cottage had everything we needed and was clean to a really high standard. We had a small issue with the back door lock sticking but the owners were straight over to fix it. We loved it here and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend.

Thanks for welcoming us to the cottage. We had a great stay and a wonderful walk up Old Man of Coniston.

This was our second stay, and the cottage was extremely clean again. The beds were so comfortable and the location beside the river is peaceful and relaxing, which was just what we wanted. The cottage is in a good position for exploring nearby towns and attractions. It was once again, a very enjoyable stay. Thankyou Jeremy!

Rhubarb Cottage is a lovely quirky place to stay. It had everything you need, and well stocked. The Cottage was easy to find from the directions given and was extremely clean.

We had a fantastic last minute weekend break at Groom's Cottage. Catherine met us when we arrived to facilitate check in. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and gave recommendations for places to visit. the cottage was very comfortable and as described. the cottage felt secluded but was close to transport links for exploring the area. Breakfast items were in the kitchen on arrival which was a nice welcome touch. Would happily visit again.

We had the most enjoyable experience staying at Sara’s beautiful & cosy cottage. It was in the perfect location with easy walking distance into Town and only a short drive to Windermere & Ambleside. Peaceful cottage in a central location. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided by the host and Sara was available to answer our questions promptly. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay and for the biscuits and mint chocs too. My daughter loved it too x

A beautiful home in a beautiful part of the world, we easily around The Lake District from our base. Spotlessly clean and so comfortable and welcoming. We didn’t want to leave and hope to return.

Delightful, homely cottage in peaceful surroundings. Clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds and pillows and big plus having an en-suite. Every detail has been well thought out. Great communication with owners and lovely touches of biscuits for the dog and fudge for the humans. Short walk to an excellent pub and lovely walks along the river. Excellent spot from which to discover the lakes. Highly recommended

Lovely cottage ideally located on the edge of Windermere town, Walked to the lake and travelled by boat to Brockhole and returned on the bus. Good transport and restaurants. Thank you Mark - we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful three-night stay at Joanne and Brian’s cottage in Scotby. The home is beautifully furnished, incredibly clean, and finished to a high standard. We especially appreciated the story of Madge and Flo—the old photographs and renovation history added so much character and charm. The location is quiet but conveniently close to Carlisle, making it a great base for exploring the area. Joanne and Brian were excellent hosts—very responsive and helpful. A small issue with the Hive was quickly resolved, and we appreciated their attentiveness. The welcome basket with wine, snacks, and quality mattresses were lovely touches that made our stay extra comfortable. We’d highly recommend this cottage to anyone and would definitely return!

The cottage was in a beautiful location with stunning views. It had everything you could possibly want for your stay. We were given plenty of information about the amenities in the area and clear instructions on how to find it. Very good value for money. We will definately be back.

We have stayed at so many Airbnb properties but this one is truly special in so many ways. Living in the US, not very much is “old” or has “character”. That being one of the reasons we like to visit, the Pheasant Inn Lodging was just perfect. The host was so kind, engaging, thoughtful and interested. It might be awhile before we return to England and Scotland, but when we do….. we will be back to this quaint piece of comfort and history b
