Family-friendly holiday rentals in Carnforth

Me and my partner received great hospitality from Sue as we stayed in her getaway over this bank holiday weekend. We received quick and helpful responses whenever we needed help, and had no issues throughout the weekend. The getaway and surrounding area was brilliant for us. We couldn’t recommend enough

Thank you very much. We all had a great stay. Everything we needed was at the house. Went with kids and they loved the games and toys available. Lots near by to keep us busy. Would definitely recommend.

The location was amazing and the views were spectacular. This home was exactly what it said on the tin. We were all blown away by it and had beautiful weather to make the most of the outdoor area. The only thing we did notice was that there wasn’t enough wine glasses & champagne flutes. Not ideal when there was 8 women so we had to use half pint glasses. We could have also done with more dishwasher tablets to last the stay. Apart from that it was perfect. Thank you.

Ian and Donna's space is special. As soon as you enter, you get this wholesome feeling. The space is built to share, with a beautiful octagon living room and kitchen at the core of the build. There are so many amazing outdoor seating areas in adventurous nooks of the garden, which is so well looked after. I am a converted Sauna man after this trip. I loved going from the wood fire cabin to the freezing cold shower and back. The Hot Tub was a great addition too. We booked this Airbnb with the expectation that we wouldn't need to leave, and it kept up with that expectation. We played many a garden game, including Croquet and Kubb (Scandinavian game, check it out!) and Maria (private chef that was connected with us via Ian and Donna) was a superstar and cooked a 5-star meal. All in all great weekend. Just wish it were a bit closer to London!

We had a lovely one night stay here. The hot tub was the biggest attraction and didn’t disappoint. The accommodation was spacious, comfortable and cosy. We also appreciated the restaurant recommendations and found a lovely place to eat in Lytham. Thank you!

We had a great time at Canny Brow Barn. Everything you could possible think of or need for your stay, Ian and Anne-Marie had thought about, from a cocktail shaker to cleaning products to games. Would highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be staying again. It’s something different and so peaceful! We sat outside and lit a fire and looked out at the amazing views. Thankyou so much for our stay we can’t wait to come back!

Mark and Ruth were lovely hosts and responsive. The cottage was perfect - cosy, peaceful, and beautiful with the private access to lake making it a true gem. We’ll definitely be back!

Fabulous little cottage in the garden, just what we wanted. Julie was a wonderful hostess, made us feel very welcome, basic necessaties all there on arrival even fresh flowers. Already recommended to friends and family.

A huge thank you to Jackie, John and Cooper 🐶 for everything during our stay this week. The accommodation was perfect for us and felt like home from home. The little additional touches were most appreciated. The location was perfect for walking our dogs, getting a train, walking into Kendal or getting in / out of Kendal by car. We would love to come back when we are next up visiting family in Kendal.

As a first time user of AirBnB I have to say Elaine was the perfect host. Everything from start to finish was presented and exceeded our expectations. My children didn’t want to leave at the end and we particularly enjoyed the quality and location of the property. We were surprised by how close the town centre amenities were considering how quiet the location was. Also it was in just the right location for us to visit relatives, take a trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and to stock up on groceries from the larger superstores. In summary we would throughly recommend the propriety and Elaine as a host. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Elaine.

Paul’s cottage really was a delight lt was everything that we needed for our time in Windermere. Very good transport connections to get to Bowness and other parts of the lakes, very good restaurants and pubs. We had a lovely meal in Tapios and enjoyed a lovely lunch in Toast. Paul’s communication was great and was so handy having the parking space outside the cottage. Will definitely return thank you !!

Really nice peaceful quiet place to stay, Very comfortable house with all you need for a relaxing stay. Walking distance to shops bars bistros and local attractions. Loads to do in the local area and little further afield. Really clean and comfortable place to stay really cosy with great views from the private decking area at the rear. Off road parking too. I would recommend to anyone or a group visiting the area to stay here. Lorraine was really nice great communication and really accommodating.

Superb location and the perfect base for exploring the area. I only wish I had more time to enjoy Cate’s place and its beautiful surroundings—it all looked absolutely stunning. I had a quiet coffee outside one morning before heading home, and it was incredibly peaceful. Inside, everything was just as expected and fully equipped. Cate also left me some of the best brownies and cookies I’ve ever eaten—such a thoughtful touch!

My 2nd stay here and it was even better than the first time as the bathroom has been refurbished. It's a great location to get into the town centre and this is walkable.

We really enjoyed our five nights at Rattlestones. It is in a fabulous location, right in the centre of Grasmere with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants right around the apartment as well as many walks and things to do and see. We’ve always done a flying visit through Grasmere and didn’t think we’d find so much on our doorstep, we didn’t move the car for the whole stay! The apartment is well stocked, clean and the beds are extremely comfortable, we slept very well. There are lots of lovely cafes for coffee and cake or lunch and a few evening eateries, we enjoyed Lewis Bistro, Tweedies and the 1769 pub. We did many walks- Grasmere lake, Grasmere to Ambleside (and then got the bus back), Alcock tarn (very steep but amazing views), Easdale tarn to name a few and recommend them all. Grasmere was very dog friendly. We would definitely stay at Rattlestones again if we stay in Grasmere. Highly recommend.

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

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.

Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

Immaculate premises , responsive host and an excellent hot tub . Couldn’t be faulted in any way .

A really lovely cabin with everything you need for enjoying a few days in the Lakes. We loved the location, very close to Ambleside and not far from Grasmere and Windermere for shops. Loads of nice trails available as soon as you leave the estate. We stayed with two kids and it was perfect, would love to visit again!

Our group of 7 adults and 3 kids really enjoyed our stay. The place was cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed. It provided the perfect getaway and we will definitely be back.

what a great air b&b . clean and tidy . we had an issue which was our right within hours. everything was explained in the texts we sent and received . can't rave to much about van, sie ,area and host. what a sea view.

The place was stunning and very peaceful, for who likes the animals company. I loved that we were so close to them and lots of nature surrounded. John was super helpful and kind. Definitely a good place to escape from the city and technology.
