Queens Head Inn

8/10 Good

"We were thankful we could book this stay after 6pm online and get into our room soon after I did have a similar experience as another reviewer who said the manager had a card machine promt for me to pay I told him we had payed via hotels.com and after checking he apologized I asked to borrow an iron and was told they don't have one as they were new owners/managers So take your own if you can Nice pint and open fire in there It seems most punters know one another well and we did feel a little out of ace but it wasn't a problem really The room was small and we did have issue with old water system making a horrendous noise every time the toilet flushes (and in the next room) I would stay again if caught short but otherwise I'd probably stay elsewhere Sorry"

3 bedroom accommodation in Helton

10/10 Excellent

"Prachtig huis met goeie bedden en fijne douche. Keuken was prima alles was er.Heerlijk gewandeld op de hei en leuke uitstapjes gemaakt naar diverse dingen. Lowther Castle zijn we lopend gaan bezoeken. Winkeltje een dorp eerder had wel wat maar let goed op de houdbaarheid van product.Fantastisch verblijf gehad ook voor de kinderen. (Ook fijn dat er wifi was) Griet familie van Gool"

Glendowlin Lodge Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Idyllic location and property! We had everything we could possibly need in the house, We really appreciated the coffee, tea and cookies at check-in. The kids loved seeing the bunnies and sheep that surrounded the property. The check-in process was very smooth and easy. So close to everywhere in the Lake District and easy day trips to larger cities like York or Blackpool. Lowther Castle is so close and a MUST with children. Would definitely stay here again."

Punch Bowl Inn

8/10 Good

"Room wasn't great for the cost (was pretty small, but is limited because of the type of building), however the bathroom looked like it had recently been refurbished, and the room was clean. Breakfast was excellent, and the staff were very helpful."

3 bedroom accommodation in Great Strickland

8/10 Good

"We arrived to a fresh, clean accommodation. The beds were very comfy and plenty of storage for your clothes.We had a lovely card and a bottle of wine waiting for us, thank you.There were a few dead flys and some still flying around the rooms. We did use fly spray and there was a fly zapper.One suggestion would be to have some leaflets or a welcome book from other guests. Also a book to tell you emergency numbers."
