Cottages als Ferienunterkünfte in Carrick bay

We spent 5 nights here at the end of March and start of April 2025. We were really fortunate with the weather and took full advantage of the wonderful location: scaling Slight Side and Scafell on one day, riding to Coniston via the bridleway on another and 'bagging' most of the Coniston fells on another day via Wrynose Pass. We ate in on a couple of nights and also went to the Wainwright's for some pub grub, as well as Stoves for their evening menu. Simon and Belinda's place is very well situated in Great Langdale for all kinds of walks and rides, food and decent pints. The house itself is a lovely place to return to in the evening with easy parking outside for our van and once inside, everything is spotless, well equipped and cosy. We really appreciated all the helpful information on bike routes and walking routes and spent the late evenings by the fire pouring over the Wainwright books planning the next day's adventures. 100% recommended.

5 Stars – A Magical Getaway! From start to finish, our stay at this riverside cottage was absolutely unforgettable. The location was stunning – peaceful, scenic, and surrounded by nature. We loved relaxing in the awesome hot tub and sauna after a day of exploring. There were so many activities nearby that made the trip even more special: we got to feed reindeer and wild goats, visit multiple beautiful castles, and enjoy endless walking paths through breathtaking landscapes. The cottage itself was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. The whole experience, from the smooth journey to the warm welcome, was just perfect. If you're looking for a mix of relaxation, adventure, and nature, this is the place. Can’t wait to come back!

Such a magical place so peaceful and well looked after couldn’t have asked for anything better me and my partner and 2 kids really enjoyed our long weekend there will definitely be coming back

Lovely place. Accurate pictures, though when you get there it feels even nicer than photos can show. Very friendly and responsive. Sometimes it can be quite a vulnerable experience travelling as an LGBTQIA+ couple, but here we felt welcome and safe. Hope to visit again with friends and family.

Fantastic location. However it is on a main road. I did know that in advance and wasn’t too noisy anyways. The cottage is lovely and spacious but the windows do need a bit of love. They will need replacing soon as they don’t close well. The hot tub was super and well needed after a day out on the bike or out hiking. Really enjoyed the short break and the sun shone for all the days I was here.

Another wonderful stay at Red Stables. The views from the lounge and hot tub are to die for, you're absolutely in the middle of the countryside and it's so quiet and peaceful. Head to the tub to completely wind down or stay connected via the high speed WiFi if you must! You can stream movies or your favourites on the internet connected Tv. Plus there's a great Farm Shop and Cafe five minutes away in the car. Highly recommended.

Our stay at The Stables was heaven. Paul welcomed us and showed us around and had even set up the hot tub for us arriving. The house was immaculate with everything you could possibly need and beautifully decorated too. We loved the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom. The garden was beautiful and so peaceful and our two dogs loved it, it was completely secure for them which meant we could relax. The view from the garden and the location were wonderful, it was just what we needed. We didn’t want to leave and would love to come back sometime soon. Thank you for being wonderful hosts and for our cheeseboard and Prosecco it was such a thoughtful touch.

Had a brilliant 3 nights away for my mum’s 60th birthday with 6 people and 2 dogs. Lisa’s place is in beautiful surroundings with a view you’ll never get bored of, very peaceful and with comfy beds meaning we all slept soundly even including one morning being woken up by the cows next door. Private garden with the hot tub and lawn games a very nice touch. Lovely welcome hamper with dog bowls and dog blankets also usefully provided. Place generally really clean. All in all a great trip and would definitely book again.

Lovely little house. Received advice on the way in that the house was ready and we could check in early without asking if we could. Just a 30 min drive to Scafell for the corridor and popular routes up. Great pizza place nearby and curry delivery spot on.

lovely surroundings with sheep in field at back. found a delightful loop walk following small Brook into woods. Really appreciate the wood burner in lounge that made the whole place very cosy. would recommend.

Had a lovely stay at hilltop cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated and we felt right at home. The bathtub was amazing, and the little touches like marshmallows for hot chocolate by the fire was a great touch.

Excellent place to stay. Dog friendly and the property was very user friendly. We were 2 friends on a dog walking holiday with working dogs. We were blessed with wonderful weather, however should it have been a wet holiday the facilities were excellent. The property has an internal garage that comfortably fit an Octavia estate, laundry facilities and boot and wet weather storage - ample space, also space to leave dogs/crates if needed. The living areas on first floor, were spacious, clean and well appointed, the bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor were extremely comfortable, spacious and airy. All excellent nights sleep!!! The property has a small, patio area, however there is a lovely park within a minute or 2 walk. The general area is very quiet, however a convenience store very close and the town centre within minutes walk. A superbly placed property. Parking outside - a SWB Ford transit fit comfortably in the allocated parking space. Stuart was informative and helpful

Most enjoyable few days in this warm, cosy cottage. Lovely walks for the dogs and so many little birds! Linda very friendly and able to make recommendations for places to eat in area beyond Leadhills. Many thanks.

Delightful little rustic, comfortable cottage in a great location. Stephanie was a great host and very welcoming - even offered to carry my bags, ha ha. I am quite familiar with the area but I have no doubt Stephanie would be on hand to provide information and suggestions should you need them. After a long drive the pub within easy walking distance was a welcome respite, cold beers and good food! Thanks Steph and maybe see you again the future, all the best, Joe.

Lovely place to stay, make sure to read all the info the host has left as it all proved very useful. Very photogenic area and quite, recommend the Wednesday night Pizza van in Broughton Square and Blacksmith Arms. You'll have a great stay, thanks again Sue and Geoff.

A lovely lady, I had booked the wrong dates got immediate response, issue was solved straight away. Beautiful quiet location just what we were looking for and we definitely will stay again. Arlene is a super host, thank you so much

We had an exceptional stay at Manesty ! The location in was absolutely stunning, surrounded by beautiful scenery that made the visit truly special. The area was calm and peaceful, providing the perfect retreat from daily life. The host's instructions were clear, making the check-in process seamless. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Lake District in a serene and relaxing

Loved my stay at this beautiful cottage. Such a spacious, homely cottage with an amazing big enclosed garden for the dog. I’ll definitely be back!

Lovely little cottage, spotless and cosy, garden is a sun trap if you get lucky like we did and stay during good weather days! Ideal location being a short walk to the local pub or drive to the seaside, forest etc. The owner went out of her way to help us with a problem, would definitely come back!

Nice cosy cottage, lovely to meet you neil, thank you for welcome pack, A1 all round

This is the second time that we have stayed here and it reminded us of how much we enjoyed it the first time. In an excellent location with off- street parking for one car, which is an absolute bonus, the cottage is small but is perfect for two people; the kitchen is well equipped with all mod cons and the shower is amazing after a long day walking. The view from the bedroom is fabulous - and much enjoyed from the very large, very comfortable bed! Immaculately clean when we arrived Nadina was very kind to contact us a couple of times to make sure everything was ok - which it was. We'd definitely, definitely stay again!

The Fairy Cottage was absolutely perfect!! Hugh met us at the door and showed us around the place, explaining how things worked. It was so neat and clean but very well decorated. Felt immediately comfortable! Speaking of comfortable, the bed was a dream!! Wish we could have spent more time there but next time we will!!

We have had a lovely few days here and would most definitely recommend the host John and the cottage
