“We stayed in this house for a family break and we were not disappointed at all.”

Everything had been thought of to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we required. This was things such dog drinking bowls, leaflets and a welcome folder explaining the area, board games and my personal favourite torches - very helpful when walking to the local pub! It also didn't go unnoticed that on one of our days out the grass had been cut too and the garden cared for. The house was very modern with an American fridge ...

Everything had been thought of to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The owners went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we required. This was things such dog drinking bowls, leaflets and a welcome folder explaining the area, board games and my personal favourite torches - very helpful when walking to the local pub! It also didn't go unnoticed that on one of our days out the grass had been cut too and the garden cared for. The house was very modern with an American fridge freezer, large oven and wifi however it also respected the age of the house with lots of wonderful original features. It was very spacious for our whole family (7 of us stayed) and plenty of room for our large dogs. The only slight complaint I would have is that the vents in the bathrooms did rattle, even in slight wind. It was the middle of the night that we noticed it and scared us to death as it was very loud! We thought someone was tapping on the outside and none of us could sleep until we figured out what it was! Once we did though the beds were so lush and comfortable that once the scare was over we were soon back to sleep. We absolutely recommend this beautiful house and we most certainly want to return - I did not want to leave! Thank you to Vicky and her family it was lovely chatting to you and very generous to give us the extra time.

“Fantastic farm cottage with great views and access to Grizedale, the property was in a beautiful condition throughout, very comfortable and a pleasure to be able to stay in.”

Now another favourite place to return to in the future.

“Lovely stay and pictures/description were accurate.”

Would definitely recommend and go back to the same place! Great area to stay in and supermarkets delivered to the house which was a huge bonus as shops were quite far away. The only issue we had was that we were quite tall so accidentally knocked our heads a few times on the low beams. Top bedroom ceiling/beam was quite low in the shower for a 6ft tall person too but wasn't an issue. We all had an excellent stay!

“We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful farmhouse.”

The kitchen is amazing with every appliance you could wish for, we had an extremely generous welcome pack upon arrival. The accommodation was comfortable and welcoming so you felt at home. Any questions were answered quickly by the owner. I would recommend you follow the directions provided rather than Google to avoid very narrow roads. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

“Lovely weekend with family (3 generations) celebrating our Ruby wedding anniversary.”

The cottage was perfect. There was enough room for everyone to spread out and be together or to sit in the separate sitting room if space was needed from time to time. The owner responded to any queries very quickly, but we were left alone to enjoy ourselves, as we would expect. My eldest son's first comment on arrival was "wow, stunning!" We will definitely rebook if we need a karge cottage in the future.

“We had a wonderful stay, the house was brilliant.”

Perfectly placed for everywhere we wanted to visit on our week there. The kitchen was by the best stocked holiday rental we have ever visited, with a huge array of implements and extras not usually thought of. We loved that there were 2 living rooms and both of them had comfy sofas and log burners. We had some lovely walks with brilliant view straight from the house and would highly recommend the village pub for some good food. Will definitely return if we are back in that region again.

Justine July 2023

“Absolutely amazing farm.”

Olde wordle with modern twists - bedrooms and en suites nothing short of 5 star hotel. Location perfect - 12mins (car) to Hawkshead; 4mins (car) to Grizedale visitor centre; with a nice walk avoiding road from the door. Vicky the owner is fabulous - answered messages within minutes. And great pub The Eagles Head on doorstep (try the pie of the day esp if it’s steak!) Best cottage we’ve ever stayed in

- Justine, July 2023

Thank you so much for your amazing feedback it really means the world to us , hope to be able to welcome you back in the future Property Owner

“Just back from a fabulous week at Satterthwaite farmhouse.”

The house and gardens were perfect for us, 6 adults and 1 dog. Plenty of space, and everything you needed was provided. Had the added bonus of beautiful weather. It was so peaceful and relaxing, none of us wanted to leave.

“'Satertwaite Farmhouse' is a beautiful house with many well thought out features.”

However, it is looking a little in need of a repaint on the outside and better cleaning on the inside as there were quite a few cobwebs and very was dusty inside wardrobes and drawers in the bedrooms. But it was generally well maintained and very well equipped. We had a couple of problems during our stay:- The obviously new sun shade blew over constantly because although there was a stand, there were no weights to hold it down. The extractor fans in the on-suites rattled constantly depending on the wind direction, The shower bases became close to overflowing unless the waste internals were removed and on one occasion, unfortunately, did overflow and the water went through the ceiling into the room below. The welcome pack wasn't the same as the one pictured on the website. Despite these minor problems we really enjoyed our time at this property and would recommend it for a peaceful holiday and would return.

“A well organised and well equipped cottage with super ensuite bedrooms, spacious kitchen and plenty of living space inside and out for 5 adults ,children aged 14,9 and 4 to spread out and have fun.”

Plus our 2 labradors, one of which had to be accommodated in her cage due to a recent operation. The garden, children's play area and walk down the lane were very convenient and also the pub within an easy stroll.Not perhaps the best menu but friendly and welcome when we didn't want to cook. Our Sat outing and picnic lunch was to Tarn Hows @20min away. Absolutely stunning with easy track round the lake. Super for dogs who like swimming. Necessary to get there early to be able to park! Sunday after packing up we visited Grizedale Forest only 2/3 miles to the visitor centre. Great choice of walks ,refreshments etc. and sculptures to find in the woods. All in all a fabulous family weekend surrounded by amazing scenery, so peaceful and relaxing , full of happy memories. The Smith Family from Cumbria and Manchester.

“We are four couples staying four nights at Satterthwaite farmhouse.”

Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The farmhouse is decorated and furnished to a high spec, everything you need is there. The welcome pack was a really lovely touch. We visited the village pub 3 times, drinking and eating. Lovely place, friendly locals and great pub grub. Our overall stay was a delight and we definitely would recommend. Thank you.

Louise November 2022

“Really great communication with owner.”

Warm and comfortable house. Beds amazingly comfortable. Great house for dogs. It was a very wet week but we enjoyed the walks from the door and the local pub - which is basic but welcoming - and had Sky sport. We also enjoyed the cafe at Grizedale [5mins] and the Drunken Duck [20 mins] away.

“Very comfortable house with lots of character.”

Suitable for a family holiday.

Diane July 2022

“First class property!”

Quite luxurious and extremely comfortable. So well appointed and full of character, stunning beams in kitchen and lounge. Good quality furniture and furnishings. Beds so comfy and bed linen great quality. Very well equipped kitchen. Great washouse/wet room. Home from home. Highly recommend. The owners have a great eye for detail and have thought of everything. Thank you, we will be back

Marjorie June 2022

“Spacious, lovely bedrooms and en-suites, full of character.”

Owner was very helpful. A few niggles (eg need new frying pans, en-suite fan covers rattle all night) but overall a nice cottage in a quiet, beautiful location. Welcome pack was a nice touch. Small garden was enough for us but it would benefit from some decent outdoor furniture and a BBQ.

- Marjorie, June 2022
June April 2022

“House was very nicely decorated.”

Quality fixtures, furniture, beds and bedding. A little more attention to detail would make it perfect. Cooker oven was not clean. Wood stove fires were not made up. Quality furniture, but drawers and wardrobe very dusty. Overall, despite these comments we all felt very comfortable in our accommodation.

- June, April 2022
Lesley April 2022

“Fantastic property which worked really well for 2 families holidaying together.”

En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom were great. The outside drying room was really useful when we came home with wetsuits to dry. Lovely comfortable cottage.

Jo December 2021

“A total dream, Satterthwaite farm is full of charm and character which met all our expectations and beyond.”

Lots of personal touches added to a truly amazing place to stay, with absolutely everything you need to enjoy the perfect break. So much so,we can’t wait to return. We would highly recommend the farm house, set in spectacular surroundings to explore as well as a good base to discover the treasures of the beautiful Lake District. ,

- Jo, December 2021

Thank you so much for your feedback , we’re so pleased you love Satterthwaite Farm House as much as we do , we look forward to welcoming you back in the future Kindest regards Vicky Property Owner
Kate October 2021

“We all loved Satterthwaite Farmhouse.”

It was perfect for a three generation family holiday - very warm with incredibly comfortable beds, lovely sitting rooms with log burners and very well equipped kitchen. The location was fantastic with access to Grizedale Forest a short walk from the house, as was the village pub! Teenage grandchildren and dogs loved it! We all hope to return.

- Kate, October 2021
Vikki October 2021

“Satterthwaite Farmhouse was absolutely superb, one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in.”

It was extremely comfortable for our group of friends plus dogs. Comfy sofas for settling down to watch a film (or Strictly), fantastic, sociable kitchen and stylish decor all round. A fabulous property in a stunning location, straight out the door to forest walks! And the local pub, just a couple of minutes stroll away, is great. Really friendly with tasty food and the only to be expected wonderful Lakeland ales on tap.

- Vikki, October 2021
Susan September 2021

“Satterthwaite Farm is a genuinely comfortable and spacious cottage for 8 people.”

It is extremely rare to be able rent a cottage which has fair and equal sized bedrooms. The cottage had plenty of room, seating and outdoor walking/biking storage for eight and is ideally located for walking and cycle from the doorstep.

- Susan, September 2021
Kevin September 2021

“The house was better than expected.”

Very high quality fittings. Would be nice to have a BBQ ?

- Kevin, September 2021
Kate September 2021

“It's worth mentioning the parking for the cottage is infront of the kitchen window and not infront of the cottage gate area.”

I was informed of this by the neighbour. The owner was most helpful in recommending a vet for our dog.

- Kate, September 2021
Susan August 2021

“I have been trying to contact you to provide some feedback for the owner which I think would be really helpful but despite looking all over your "contact us" section I can't see anywhere to actually contact you, only FAQ's.”

- Susan, August 2021
Jane June 2021

“Fantastic house, very well equipped and extremely clean, we all loved it.”

I’m sure we will be back as we love the location and the accommodation was superb. It would be good to have some relaxing garden furniture to catch the sun in in the back garden, and maybe a bench or a couple of chairs in the front to watch the sun setting in the evening and take in the amazing views.

- Jane, June 2021
Lorna May 2021

“We had such a great stay in this farmhouse - it had everything we needed, was clean and perfectly positioned out of the hustle of Hawkshead.”

Our dogs absolutely loved it! We would love to stay again.

Mr Rigler Jun 2019

“The farmhouse fully lived up to the pictures and words on the website showing it to luxury accommodation.”

This made for a very relaxed time with plenty of space for the whole family. We particularly enjoyed having lovely walks on the doorstep without the need to drive.
