    Take a break in nature with Cumbria holiday cottages

    Nestled in the northeast of England, where rolling hills and wildflowers meet the Irish Sea, Cumbria is home to some of the freshest air and clearest skies in Britain.

    From secluded cottages above misty lakes to market town mansions on cobbled streets, Cumbria doesn't just cater to one kind of getaway. It's a treat for anyone craving a rural adventure.

    Ranked as the ' second-best place to photograph in England', Cumbria is a world of emerald fields, majestic mountains, and some of the best sunsets the world has to offer. But its landscape isn't just a gift for sightseers, it's a treat for foodies too. Cumbria is home to a world-renowned range of incredible local produce and award-winning restaurants thanks to its rich and fertile land.

    To complete your trip to this stunning part of the world, book one of our dreamy Cumbria holiday cottages. Our carefully curated collection of Cumbria self-catering properties includes everything from ancient stone cottages to stylish, sprawling estates.

    Why choose a Cumbria weekend break or staycation?

    Cumbria is famous as the home of the glorious Lake District National Park, but it also includes part of the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines, so you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to how to spend your days.

    As well as the Lake District, Cumbria boasts three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so pack your walking shoes and make sure you have enough memory on your phone because you won't want to miss a single minute.

    The landscape of Cumbria is like something from Middle Earth. Sparkling lakes, dramatic peaks, majestic mountains, green valleys, and lush rolling hills mean you'll never be short of a fantastic walk. Especially if you break it up with a delicious pint in one of Cumbria's ancient pubs.

    History lovers will be in heaven when visiting Cumbria. Not only can you explore some of the earliest stone circles in the UK, such as Swinside and the mysterious Castlerigg Stone Circles, but the fascinating Hadrian's Wall also runs along its border, where you can walk in the Romans' footsteps.

    It's not just walls and stone circles that add to Cumbria's rich history. The area is packed with castles and castle remains, from the mighty fortresses built by the Normans to the first forts constructed by the Romans.

    Boasting some of the UK's most significant historical moments, Carlisle Castle was constructed with stones from Hadrian's wall and is an imposing fortress to wander around. Or why not explore the haunted Muncaster Castle that dominates the Lake District coastline? For some epic ruins, and the perfect spot to enjoy an epic picnic, head to Kendal Castle and feel yourself get transported back in time.

    The beauty of Cumbria has been a beacon for writers and artists over the centuries, including two of its most famous residents, Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. You can visit both of their charming homes and discover more about Potter's delightful animal creations at The World of Beatrix Potter.

    While all the lakes in Cumbria are special, there is something truly magical about Lake Windermere. Not only can you walk around the huge lake, taking in the scenery and earning yourself a delicious lunch, but you can also hop on a lake cruise and see the beauty of the lake from the comfort of a boat.

    While visiting the great lakes, make sure you pop into the village of Windermere. It's a sweet and sleepy village filled with pretty shops, restaurants, tearooms, and a laidback atmosphere that'll make your regular life feel a million miles away.

    We've only scratched the surface of what to do in Cumbria. To see it all for yourself, book one of our Cumbria holiday rentals and plan your perfect adventure.

    Idyllic Cumbria holiday rentals for your next adventure

    Nothing beats waking up in the morning, snug in your cosy cottage, throwing open the curtains and gazing out at the incredible Cumbrian landscape.

    Whatever it takes for you to find the perfect Cumbria accommodation, we're here to make it happen. It doesn't matter if it's a games room, open fire, hot tub, or decadent back garden golf course, your wish is our command.

    If you're travelling in large groups or just fancy an extra slice of splendour, browse our extra-large holiday homes, luxury holiday cottages with swimming pools, or cosy cottages with private hot tubs.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Lesley - Verified booking

      Gyll bank - The Barn, 9 - 16 Sep 2022 We have had a good stay here.

      We know that most people dont bother to tell you what needs attention, but we think it is important. Overall the accommodation is adequate but needs some help. The kitchen tap is dripping relentlessly and it is really annoying. The kitchen is poorly equipped. I know it is the end of the season but surely the cleaning staff run an inventory? All the four saucepans are the same size!! 8 inches ish. Do the other apartments have all the big pans??? There is a knife block, all the knives are blunt. Two other knives in the drawer are blunt, including 3 inch knife that is not useful other than to deal with an apple. Luckily I read a comment from a previous holiday maker that there were no sharp knives, so I brought three of my own. I also bought a wok which we used instead of their small frying pans. The baking trays in the oven were burnt and unusable, which we saw immediately and the owners sorted that out as they were here for a short period. There are no black bags and very little cleaning materials. The top of the cooker is severely stained. There is no hob cleaner which would help the burnt on stains. And the washing up liquid is provided in tiny plastic containers. Would a whole bottle of washing up liquid break the bank? The settees don’t appear to have been hoovered recently. There were wrappers etc under the three piece and we were looking for something down the back of the sofa and it is full of crumbs etc. The downstair toilet door needs oiling. Because the floor is tiled downstairs with hard kitchen surfaces and there is very little soft furnishings, the whole place is very echoey. So dripping taps, creaky doors, they really have an effect. The cupboard doors in the cupboard need soft closing stops as again they bang away. The ad says that there is super broadband here. Thats as may be but it suggests that signal and connection would be good, but we have had long periods of no connectivity. It seems to be connected to how many people are using it during the day . I know you can’t do anything about that but do say that signal is still patchy despite super broadband. These comments are offered in the spirit of helping people that come here to enjoy this property after us. Lesley Dike

    • Ashley - Verified booking

      Lovely little cottage which worked well for us for our week.

      Perfect for a family of 4 for a holiday. Cottage itself was as described. We didn’t appreciate at the time of booking that there were 3 properties in this building. We had the central section which worked well for us but would have possibly booked elsewhere if we had been aware as more stressful with a young puppy with dogs either side and two boisterous boys. We were constantly worried about noise from the kids annoying the neighbours or the dog barking. The cottage doesn’t have a garden, more surrounding fields with sheep. Not ideal for our dog who is used to roaming an enclosed garden. For both the kids and dog, watching out for sheep and sheep poo was an issue. Although they were lovely to see and hear, especially when they were in the patio area!!! The cottage itself has most of the necessary items but lacked a few of the basics to allow you get going without having to head back to the shops. Our neighbours had supermarket deliveries which, if timed right, would be ideal. Also of note, there is Wifi downstairs but it doesn’t extent to the upstairs and the TV doesn’t have any smart features - easily overcome with a firestick bought at the Argos in Kendal. Also, very dusty throughout and need of a bit of a deep clean. Not too much of a problem but I had to wash alot of the kitchen items and sinks before use as I wasn’t convinced they were clean on arrival. The cottage is in an idyllic spot at the top of a hill just outside Staveley. We walked down to the village in 30mins with two 9 year olds. Bit of a trek back up again in the sun. Also, the drive up isn’t for the faint hearted as it is a tight, single track road with minimal passing places however, it does make the area very quiet. Staveley itself was perfect. Everything you need for a holiday and in close proximity to Windermere and Kendal. The owners of the cottage came to check on us and make sure we were getting in fine which was a lovely personal touch and very much appreciated. Overall, a lovely place to spend a week provided you are aware of the surroundings before booking.

    • Kathryn - Verified booking

      Beautiful place to stay with amazing views from the patio.

      We stayed in the Barn (sleeps 4) with Cow Shed and Byre either side (sleeping 6/7), then the big house (16) and bungalow (3) across the driveway, so obviously be aware that you will probably have neighbors. Plenty of parking for everyone and had no issues with noise at all. The patio has dividers between the barns that you can pull across for privacy or leave open if you'd prefer, a really nice idea we thought! Plenty of chairs, tables and even sun umbrellas on the patio so you can sit in the garden and enjoy the beautiful view. Key collected from lock box, code given to us by owners prior to our arrival. The owner came to see us on our first night which was nice and he was a lovely man. Barn has everything you'd need to get by, including a welcome pack with washing up liquid, dish washer tablets and tea towel etc. Would say might be worth bringing a sharp knife for cooking though as I had trouble chopping veg! We will be recommending Ghyll Bank to our friends and hope we can return too. Great base for visiting Windermere etc.

    • Julie - Verified booking

      On arrival at the property we were thoroughly impressed with the entrance area, so warm and inviting, and lovely and roomy for putting on boots, coats etc and for unloading and loading the car of luggage.

      The kitchen was super and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay, including a nice oak dining table which could be extended. Then down four stairs was a super sized lounge with views of open countryside. A TV on the wall with Freeview giving us lots of choice and a DVD player should we have needed it. The owner had put in a decorated Christmas tree and had written us a card, which was a nice touch. A downstairs loo was a great addition. Upstairs was a grand bathroom which was super warm and cosy, (no shivering after a shower). A double bedroom and another good sized bedroom with twin beds. Having the dogs with us (property states one dog but we sought permission to take our daughters wee sausage dog too) the fact that there were plenty of walks straight from the house was a great bonus. My husband and I and our daughter and partner had the most enjoyable week here at Ghyll Bank, and will always remember our Christmas at Stavely.

      Esk Escape is forever in my heart. I booked a stay here for many reasons, mainly as an opportunity to reflect and rebalance.Esk Escape has provided everything that I needed and so much more besides. I have already described this place as a little piece of Heaven. I am mentally and physically replenished and my soul is lighter. The shepherds hut is lovingly fitted out with taste and the highest quality fixtures, fittings furniture and tableware. Supplies of firewood are more than generous. The hot tub is beyond luxurious - far and away the best I have experienced. Sitting on the river by the deck feels like a soothing massage, the water carrying stress away. The owners are the perfect hosts, offering the perfect retreat. I will never forget my stay here and I hope very much to return - thank you.
