A characterful and spacious house with excellent facilities and equipment. Lovely bathrooms and toiletries and set in lovely countryside reached by a narrow road. The only drawbacks for older residents are the number of levels and stairs but this is pointed out on the house description and did not detract from our enjoyment as a three generation paRead morerty. One minor point is the weak Internet signal but this did have the benefit of not having members of our party being forever on phones! Hide

We had a really nice stay at Heron Beck over the half term holiday. The property was more than big enough for five adults, an 18 month old and a five week old, it was cleaned to a high standard and smelt fresh. The kitchen is huge, with a large table which enabled us all to sit around it. We used the kitchen every evening, but ate out at lunchtime Read moreduring our exploring. Hide

The house is fantastic, quirky in layout with comfy beds, sofas and spa like baths and toiletries. A lovely hamper of food, milk and treats were a welcome surprise.

Well appointed and comfortable house in a great location. Excellent modern bathrooms, comfortable bedrooms and sitting rooms. The house is certainly very characterful and spacious with great views. Multiple levels and lots of stairs mean it is not suitable for those unable to manage stairs. Well located for visiting the southern Lakes.
