What our customers say about their holidays

  We read the reviews but thought ‘It sounds amazing but probably won’t be quite as wonderful as that’.

  We were wrong. It was even better! EVERYTHING was as folk said - simply FAB-U-LOUS. Wonderfully furnished with such lovely comfy, sink into sofas and with equally comfortable, padded dining chairs you could sit on all morning. The beds, SO very comfortable and the whole house a perfect temperature with the ground source heating and with no nasty drafts. There was a beautiful vase of roses (real!) and a basket of goodies to greet us on arrival PLUS a bottle of bubbly in the fridge! Mark and Helen (the owners) are delightful and so helpful. The weather was not too good for our 3 night stay, having timed it perfectly to coincide with a deep depression, but we were very cosy and with games in the drawers and a large screen Smart TV (HDMI cable provided) plus TVs in every bedroom, all of which worked perfectly. We even tried the hot tub in the strong NW wind and it was bliss. Everything anyone needs to know is in the ‘How to’ folder which was on the table and we can thoroughly recommend the first pub we tried - the Farmers’ Arms - just 1.5 miles away which serves fantastic food at very reasonable prices. We weren’t there long enough to try any others. Last thing to say is don’t do what I did and hunt for a kettle. The kitchen has the very latest in hobs and modern appliances with a massive fridge PLUS the tap on the sink has an amazing device which dispenses boiling water, instantly! If you’ve never seen one, the instructions are in the folder on the table and, if I can do it, anyone can! We shall be back.

  We have just returned from a weekend stay at the Old Stable.

  We stayed Friday to Sunday with a group of girlies to celebrate a 50th birthday. We were contacted by Helen before arrival to ensure we had everything we needed and they also allowed us to check in earlier as the rental was ready, which was nice as we could set up some decorations. The rental was well equipped and one of the most equipped rentals I have stayed in. The Old Stable has been renovated to a high standard and excellent quality. Each room has its own bathroom and they have excellent finishes and have little toiletries (great quality products). There are USB ports by the sockets of beds, for charging mobiles, sound bar to play music, the hot tub was ready and great temp, the rental inside and out was immaculate. The kitchen had everything you needed including tea towels, foil, cling film, there wasn't anything we needed. Too much to mention. We also arrived to a Hamper of Wine, Fizz, nuts, biscuits and fugde and fresh roses in a vase. The Old Stable really felt homely and Helen and Mark (who live next door) where lovely and provided additional information about the nearby areas. Loved this place and we will be looking to book again as a family holiday early next year. We all had a fantastic time, even though the weather wasn't too great on the Saturday, it didn't impact or dampen our stay.

  My husband and I and a couple of friends had a recent fabulous stay at Laithe Cottage.

  We enjoyed a friendly daily visit from Sid the cat and Cyril the dog. The cottage was spacious and exceptionally clean with plenty utensils, pots etc in the kitchen and towels in the bathroom. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom and it would have been very useful to have an upstairs toilet, however, a few stairs down to the ground floor toilet was no problem at all. The bathroom was spacious with a fantastic shower. We enjoyed a meal at the Mill Inn in Ulverston and we got a takeaway delivery from Aroma Indian restaurant which was excellent. We had an AMAZING breakfast at Poppies in Ulverston but they also do lunches and evening meals - definitely worth a try! We all very much enjoyed the outdoor space and hot tub at Laithe Cottage and we were very impressed with the way that, although there were other cottages, they are built in such a way that there is privacy in the garden area. The staff who attended to the grounds and cottages were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit Laithe Cottage again!

  What an amazing place to stay!

  The Stables it outstanding and the reviews were spot on. Fab location not too far from anywhere near but still quiet and surrounded by great countryside. The attention to detail for it being a 'home' is just great. It is extremely spacious and fitted our families needs perfectly. The Wi-Fi was great throughout the house. The house is lovely and warm and we had the fire on but not for heat just because it was beautiful. There is everything you could ever need in the house. Beds are so comfy and everything has that luxurious touch. Plenty of games which we loved and played. Helen and Mark are really lovely and so welcoming. Best welcome pack we have ever had and great to open cupboards and you find salt, pepper etc. There is a hot tub and bbq but we never used them. Definitely have a visit to The Farmers in Baycliff, delicious meal with brilliant staff. Great to have in-depth instructions for the appliances etc. We will definitely be back. Honestly one of the best homes we have stayed in!

  WOW!!!

  This is the best property we have ever stayed in. The facilties are 5 star, the beds were very comfortable. The owner has thought of your every need and nothing is too much trouble. Whilst it felt homely, the modern appliances were soooo much better than home, so to have this level of luxury meant it felt a special break. Stayed as two families and because of the en suites, always had our own space and evey bedroom felt like the master bedroom, although the master was stunning!!! It is on main road but due to the electric gates, the garden was completely enclosed ensuring the childrens safety at all times, allowing us to relax. There are two beach areas close by for access to Morecambe Bay. We always drove off as we had small children and walking along road didn't seem the best idea. We felt Barrow had more to offer than Ulverston for kids but also 30 mins from Lake Windermere for a boat trip, mooch around and an ice cream. We would highly recommend this property.
