Mr Meddings

“Lovely week in a warm and cosy cottage.”

Lots of local exploring of the quarry and caves, a nice walk to Three Shires and onward to Elterwater, ascent of Old Man, running, cycling and tarn-dipping (brrr). Celebration champagne and ample supplies of coal much appreciated. Well-equipped and welcoming cottage, thank you! Xmas decorations so nice too!”

“Thank you for a wonderful stay.”

We love it so much here! So peaceful, clean and relaxing. Cooked some lovely meals in the cottage and went ghyll scrambling which was fantastic. We never want to leave.

“Enjoyed the location and mainly good weather.”

First holiday in The Lakes and aim to return soon. Loved the scenery here, the belted Galloways, Herdwick sheep ( lambs born on opposite hillside while we were here - better than TV!), and the bird life. Cottage provided all we needed. Coal fire was really welcome.

“Thank you for a wonderful week.”

This is a peaceful, magical location. The cottage is great and very well equipped. You have gone to great lengths so ensure that our every need is catered for. We came with 4 teenage kids and everyone enjoyed their stay and found something to do. We would love to visit this cottage again. Great job. Truly wonderful place to spend a week away from our busy lives

“Lovely week - our stay here was great.”

We loved all the walks from the cottage and we enjoyed the sunny weather. The garden wasn’t only a nice place to be for us but also our dog made some friends! The clear sky at night was beautiful-seeing the stars and the Milky Way! We also loved feeding the birds and then watching them. Hope to be back soon

“What a lovely cottage.”

Everything we needed was here. Our 5year old and 10month old loved it - especially the bunk beds and the games. Three generations were very happy here. Some great walks around the area. Thanks for a lovely stay

Great for couples or families, Holme Ground is within easy reach of all of Lakeland's attractions and is surrounded by stunning scenery. The location makes Holme Ground Cottage a great base for touring the Lake District, for all sorts of adventure activities or for simply relaxing and taking in the quiet beauty of this picturesque area. Pond dipping in Holme Tarn just above the cottage is a firm favourite for younger guests while for the grown-ups there are excellent and numerous local pubs all serving great food and real ales within easy reach. This comfortable cottage is very well equipped and furnished with everything you would want at home - so all you need to bring is yourselves! The wildlife in this idyllic spot will be enjoyed by all.
