Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cumbria

Lovely house, great views, within 30 mins drive to all main south lakes sights. Communication and check in all very easy and clear. We had a great stay :)

We had a lovely stay at Tethera Nook with our dog Luna! Emma and Craig were brilliant and it was lovely to see them working so hard on their gorgeous garden while we were there! It provided a lovely place to sit with a drink in the mornings! Their very friendly dog Capone always happy to come and say hello! It felt very private the whole week, walking distance to Kendal town, and we even hiked up to Scouts Scar which was recommended in the guide book (the views definitely did not disappoint). Tethera nook had everything we needed for our stay and with it being extremely hot the fan was an added bonus in keeping us and our dog cool! The eggs and veg that Emma leaves out is incredible and the little gifts of brownies, gin and jams on our arrival kept us going for the whole week! Everything was just perfect for our relaxing week away in the lakes, with close links to the rest of the national park! We would absolutely stay here again!

We adored our stay at the Granary! It’s a stunning place in the most peaceful location. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept wonderfully. All of the details in the home are beautiful and cozy! We loved listening to the birds and watching the sheep out the window. Amanda was so friendly and helpful. I hope we can come back here someday because it was truly a dream!!! Thank you so much!

I had a wonderful stay at Sharu's place! The space was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Sharu was a responsive and thoughtful host, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. The neighborhood was quiet, beautiful and conveniently located near everything I needed. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area and would happily stay here again!

Had a lovely short stay at The BoatHouse. Views were absolutely stunning and the accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The beds were super comfy. The work next door was a little noisy at times but we were pre-warned and to be honest it didn’t bother us. Just beware to close the blind in the bathroom as the crane provides a direct view in! Please note that you need to bring your own toilet/kitchen roll for the accommodation otherwise everything was extremely well stocked. Would definitely return!

A lovely cottage, in a great location. Had everything we needed and more. Easy instructions to get to location and for check in and check out. Visited Ingleton waterfalls trail, only half hour drive from cottage and well worth visiting, beautiful! Would definitely stay at the cottage again.

The Lodge was exactly as described with everything I needed. It was located in a lovely and peaceful part of the country, which was within their grounds. The lodge was closer to their home than I thought but this wasn't an issue for me at all. The enclosed garden space was a bonus and my dog loved it! The cake was a lovely touch too. The local town wasn't too far away and pubs were dog friendly which was great. A lovely relaxing break.

Superhost doesn't capture it. It was such a pleasure to stay at The Byre and lovely to meet Victoria. We can clearly say it was the best Air BnB experience we've ever had. Such care must have gone into the renovation and furnishing of the property, from the large airy upstairs kitchen/diner/living room to the handcrafted live edge furniture. The location in Matterdale End was beautiful. We were even able to go fellwalking directly from the house - just a few feet up to the church, then left onto the public footpath and on up to the top of Sheffield Pike and many more summits from there. We can recommend this Air BnB venue wholeheartedly. Thank you Victoria and Jim!

We had a lovely stay; the location is wonderful, surrounded by farmland with baby lambs overlooking the seating area! The apartment is very well specced and looked after, with a small garden house further up the hill opposite and an amazing river a short walk across the fields where we went for a swim. The photos do not do the property justice, it is a gem. Would definitely come back to use as a quiet base to explore the lakes from again.

This was our second stay at Fiona’s place and we loved it just as much as the first. The location is so beautiful and the views from the window are perfection. The beds are so comfortable and the sheets were so luxurious that we looked at the label on the bedding and ordered the same ones before we left! We were within 25 minutes drive of Buttermere, Crummock Water, Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite, all of which were amazing swim spots. Fiona is very friendly and was available to answer any questions we had. We will be back next year. 😊

This was one of those places that you would wish to keep a secret. The views are breathtaking, the area is quiet, perfect for a retreat for people willing to charge their batteries from their busy lives. It's a bit off the beaten track, so you need a car or a taxi from the train station to get there, but you can rest from the busy touristic towns of the Lake District. Jeanette was a very discreet and lovely host. She furbished the place with great care. Thank you Jeanette for hosting us, your place was a dream come true!

Simply a perfect stay at Tann's place - the space has everything you need and I love the Hadrian's Wall theme. Check in instructions probably the most comprehensive I've seen on AirBnB and Tann was professional and kind with all comms. Thank you for a lovely stay - this will definitely be my first choice if I'm ever in the area again

An absolutely beautiful accommodation, comfortable & large in a glorious setting. Zoe is so friendly, unassuming & helpful. Encouraged us to wander around her lovely garden, the very old courtyard & surroundings. Her dogs & cats add to the pleasant home stay atmosphere. The breakfast supplies, tea & coffee were very generous. Zoe booked us into a nearby pub for dinner which was a good idea as they can be very busy. There are a number of things to see in nearby towns. We would have loved to have stayed for much longer & will definitely return to Zoe’s if we ever get back to the UK.

This is a perfect stay for a quiet getaway. Felt very safe as a woman on my own. The flat was really clean and homely. They left a lovely card and drinks and chocolate. Lovely friendly hosts. Can't thank you enough for the stay! I highly recommend to anyone.

Loved everything about the place, will definitely be coming back host was very helpful

Fabulous accommodation - just right for our short stay. The Metro into Newcastle was a short walk away. Lynne and Gary gave us a warm welcome - would recommend

Had a lovely two night stay, beautiful surroundings, peaceful, clean and comfortable. Able to walk to local shop and pub. Scafell Pike, beach and The Lakes not far by car Great host, good communication

Fabulous few days staying at the Ironworks. Apartment was beautiful and lovely extra touches such as welcome hamper and toiletries. Lucky with the weather and so made the most of some fabulous walks in the area. Would definitely stay again.

lovely apartment which was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great central location with fantastic public transport near by. Lottie had sent some reccomendations to visit and places to eat. Like most places Mondays are tricky finding a restaurant open. Everything was great and Lottie was a kind and responsive host who left us gorgeous local goodies to ear, much appreciated

We absolutely loved the rooftop! Arriving to a few treats and a hand written card was a perfect start to our stay! The apartment was very clean and tidy, we highly recommend!

What a lovely flat in sleepy Sedbergh! Great location and very peaceful. The flat is so comfortable with the softest carpets too. Lots of extra towels and bedding available. A very well equipped kitchen and a lovely feeling of calm as soon as we stepped inside. Everything was really well thought out and very clean. We stayed for two nights but will definitely stay again and for longer next time. Amy very kindly extended our check out time and always responded to questions quickly. I highly recommend visiting Sedbergh and staying in this stunning little flat!

So lucky to have stayed at Sparket Mill. The spot is beautiful, and the two-story wing we stayed in beautifully decorated, with charm and simple good taste and comfort. Mark and his family are lovely, lively people, and appreciated our dogs! Mark gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and hikes. Magical little stream beside the house, and fields full of wildflowers. Wish we could have stayed much longer, as it's so peaceful, very special.

We really enjoyed our stay here at Whitbarrow. The apartment was lovely, with the special addition of the balcony overlooking the beautiful views, which we enjoyed with a cuppa or two. Our boys loved the toys and the drawing that was available to play with but, of course, their highlight was the pool. Local distance to Lowther, buttermere, Penrith, pooley Bridge, Keswick etc so lots to do. We’ll be back soon! 🙂

Great flat in the centre of Kendal. Very clean and more spacious than expected. No parking but car park very close by. Would definitely recommend.
