10/10 Excellent
"Wow, what a location! Perfect location for hiker groups and families. The house is very roomy with lots of outside space too with a well equipped kitchen. The house was clean with plenty of towels and extra bedding for those chillier nights. I’d recommend you bring the basic provisions with you the nearest shop is a drive away. Also be prepared for a thrilling little mountain drive on your arrival to the house. Thank you Fiona, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if you’ll have us we’ll be back again. 10/10"

Stoney Steps, a spacious apartment in the heart of the English Lake District

Stoney Steps, a spacious apartment in the heart of the English Lake District

8/10 Good
"This a spacious 2 bed apartment in the Mews of an Inn on the southern end of lake ullswater in glenridding. The location is very convenient to the small village and hiking trails. The apartment did not have a view, but was well suited for spending time in the area. We were there mid September so late in the season, and the pricing was great value especially compared to london. Coming from the US, the washer/dryer in one appliance takes some getting used to (it took several hours to do a mid sized load, and was hard to figure out how to use for us at least). The kitchen could be slightly better equipped with nicer utensils and pans, but was more than adequate! Overall, would highly recommend staying here, due to size, location, and overall quality. An excellent value!"

YHA Helvellyn - Hostel

10/10 Excellent
"I have nothing to compare it with as this is my first experience of youth hostels in 40 years. I was impressed. I loved the open area, bar and restaurant. The dormitory was excellent. Beds were well spaced, ample plug sockets, mattress & pillows excellent. Clean sheets and super mattress. The bed was as good as any 5 star hotel. Honestly. The shower was clean but a little small. The facilities in the kitchen were good but some of the pans had loose handles. The staff clearly clean but somehow not all guests have the same standard. Value for money ? Amazing. Staff were excellent and friendly. Its a top review and I will go back."

Swarthbeck House -  Howtown, Ullswater

Swarthbeck House - Howtown, Ullswater

10/10 Excellent
"We were a large family group staying for a long weekend with pets.The house is in a beautiful location with stunning views around and across Ullswater. It is set back from the road, amongst trees so very well hidden and away from other properties. The drive up to the house is very bumpy so take it slowly - red squirrels were out and about near the bend and tumbledown hut which was lovely to see.The house itself is beautiful - very well appointed and comfortable. There was enough space to relax and enjoy company and to share meals in the dining room. There was a welcome pack of goodies in the kitchen when we arrived which was appreciated and was a thoughtful touch by the host - everything you need is provided (except tea towels) within the kitchen - it did get a little cramped though when there were more than 4 people trying to serve or prepare food at a time.All the bedrooms were exceptionally clean and tidy and the beds very comfortable - one drawback when you are a group of adults over 50 were the bunk beds - there are 2 sets of them and are not ideal for use by the older generation. One room with them in was big enough for 2 singles and so would have been better for us but understand that all ages have to be catered for.Heating was easy to use and the property warmed up quickly The short walk to the private beach area is easily accessible and would be a lovely place to sit on warmer evenings enjoying the sunset and a beer.Overall, it was an excellent property."
