Herdwick Cottages Reviews

Gorgeous well-equipped, cosy cottage in a great location. Patterdale and Glenridding are both walkable with pubs, boat hire and shops in easy reach. Also a great start point for scenic walks/hikes around Ullswater, Helvellyn and Greidsdale Tarn.

I booked this caravan for my daughter and her partner for my daughter's birthday and when we arrived we were greeted by Gillian who was so friendly and so helpful. She had left a bottle of wine and a bowl of strawberries for my daughter to celebrate her birthday. The van itself was beautifully decorated and had a classy and quirky character. The finishing touches really made it stand out and it's location was perfect in the heart of the Cumbrian lake district. My Daughter had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try another level of glamping!

The old pump house was the perfect place to celebrate my friend becoming a father, bbq’ing and walking. The cottage was clean spacious and in a perfect location. It is very secluded and prior to booking I thought it was semi detached due to the two front doors. This isn’t the case you get the whole cottage with your nearest neighbour 100m over the river. One thing I did notice was the knifes were blunt this would be the only criticism I had but will not stop me from giving 6 stars. Thanks for allowing us to stay and make some memories.

We were very comfortable and happy in this beautiful, spacious, and modern flat. It is perfect for families, with plenty of space for kids and even a bar to relax with friends over a glass of wine. There is one full bathroom and another half-bath, so you won’t find yourself fighting over the toilet in the morning (a big plus for us!). The shower has a 2-in-1 dual showerhead, and there is also a bathtub should you wish to bathe your kids or simply relax in a hot tub after a long day of hiking. The spacious kitchen is perfect for cooking up whatever local produce you’ve brought home from the many outdoor markets and farm shops in the region. There is even space in the entryway to store your bikes, boots, and hiking gear. If that’s not enough, the flat is ideally located in Kendal, a picturesque market town just a short drive from Windermere. Next door there is a wine bar serving fine wines, craft beers, and cocktails including many varieties of gin—we especially loved the locally distilled Lakeland Moon Gin. Just around the corner is the Blind Bus Driver, a unique speakeasy where you can order exquisitely crafted cocktails. This is the perfect place to stay in the Lake District. We had a great time here. Couldn’t recommend this place more.
