Family-friendly holiday rentals in Whitehaven

Stunning house with an amazing view, big kitchen area and bedrooms all with their own bathrooms. Great location to be close to the main village in Windermere with supermarkets & pubs/ restaurants nearby. House is a little dated and unfortunately we couldn’t get the hot tub or aga to work. Could maybe do with more essentials such as toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, bin bags, oil, spray for the sides. Even though a few minor issues Paul was great at communicating and replied quickly. I would definitely recommend this place & stay here again. Would be nice to visit during the summer.

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 had a lovely weekend at Moss Side Farm, we travelled with friends, small children and dogs. The contained garden was perfect for the dogs and the farm was lovely to take the children to see the animals. The accommodation is really homely and a good size. Louise is super friendly and helpful, and arranged an extra cot for us which we really appreciated! Would totally recommend this place for a quiet weekend away.

Great place. warm. surrounded of beautiful places. close to sea, waterfalls, stunning villages. good pubs for food. Steve was available and welcomy. very good and peaceful place

Three 50 year olds on a birthday weekend away from the families. Walking, eating, drinking, swimming and relaxing. A beautiful cottage with its own woodland and little beach in the shores of Windermere. Mark and Ruth are fabulous hosts. They live in the adjoining cottage but you wouldn’t know. Very kind of them to drop a card and chocs off for my birthday. The hot tub under the stars at night is a massive bonus and the sauna at the top of the garden is awesome. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Plenty of throws and blankets for the colder night. Lounge is great with the log burner going as well. Lots of games to play. Trivial Pursuits was hilarious after all these years. Must mention Ruth’s marble run she is building. Great so far. Good location for long walks, open swimming. Recommend the Punch Bowl for 1st class food. Not the cheapest but excellent service too. To sum it up, a lovely escape for the weekend. Couldn’t have asked for more.

A brilliant stay, very relaxing and a great spot to unwind. The wood fired hot tub is a real highlight - Thank you for a lovely trip!

We spent a wonderful week in Mill Barn. Lots of small touches like flowers on arrival, brownies, milk in the fridge and the fire set up made the place really welcoming and inviting. Nice walk to the local pub but be prepared for the hill back up. Overall would highly recommend.

Lovely peaceful and secluded location. Fun building to live in. Friendly hosts. We loved going out on bike rides and coming back to relax in the hot tub watching the stars.

We’ve had a lovely stay, hosts were helpful and friendly and gave great tips for things to do. The bungalow itself was kitted out with everything needed and some lovely touches were added. Would absolutely stay again.

An absolute find! The photos don’t do this place justice. We had a really lovely, comfortable stay, it was peaceful yet a 1 minute walk from the square. It’s truely dog friendly (lots of places state dog friendly yet have tons of rules once you book!) and yet you would never know, its spotlessly clean, and very well equipped. Sandra was really responsive and helpful. We will most definitely be back 😀.

The cottage is very well-equipped, with everything you need to rustle up a three course meal - plenty pots, pans, roasting tins, utensils and a huge six seater dining table. It’s really easy to organise supermarket deliveries but only a 10-12 minute drive (Carlisle) if you’d rather pick things up yourself. The location is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of great dog walks close at hand. If you’re feeling less energetic you can relax in the cosy lounge or sit upstairs in the seating area of the master bedroom with amazing panoramic views of the countryside (thanks to the floor to ceiling windows). Sharu was an absolutely lovely host - extremely responsive and ever so helpful, yet completely unobtrusive; allowing me the space to enjoy my stay. I would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book again when visiting the area

Amazing overnight stay. Beautiful surroundings, the food In the pub was incredible. Especially the pies! Will be back again for sure. Hosts and everyone were so friendly, even being our 2 big dogs it was a great stay.

What a lovely little gem this house is highly recommended. Good location, house beautifully done very clean

Lovely place to stay, very peaceful location. Decent size of bedroom. Definitely would recommend . Thank you.

This was my first time travelling alone with my dog. It was also my first time to the Lake District, and Cate's place, but it certainly won't be my last to either!! Cate is so kind, hospitable and helpful. She recommended great walks for us, and is so friendly and easy going. Nothing is too much trouble. Oh yes, I will also mention her yummy brownies and shortbread! I can understand the hype!! Such a great find to explore this beautiful part of the country. I really can't wait to go back!!

Very kind an polite on the visit. House was everything we expected an more views were exceptional

John is a great host and his place was a real gem. Somehow hidden away but close to everything we needed to see and do. Would definitely stay again. Thank you John.

Beautiful property in a great location with amazing views. The house was absolutely spotless and with living room upstairs, it enables the wonderful views, and the balcony is perfect for your morning coffee. Simon’s instructions were perfect to find the property easily, and he was so responsive when we needed to contact him (as we locked the keys inside the property), he sorted immediately. Would definitely stay again, thank you so much.

Great place to stay, has everything you need was clean & tidy, lovely sitting outside in the evenings with the fire pit, 5mins from Amberside town witch has everything you need, lovely walks round the area, would recommend highly.

Great hosts and lovely place. The fridge hinge had broken and they came to resolve the issue within 10 minutes and a new fridge was sorted within the hour. 100% would recommend.

Second time staying at Ecclerigg and was perfect again. Great property, perfect for families in a wonderful location. highly recommended!!

The cabin is very rustic, has everything you need-3 TVs including in both bedrooms/Netflix/utube/all TV channels/Games/Xbox-Alexa speaker-Kitchen is extremely well equipped-you just need to get an Air Fryer keep cooking costs down-beds very comfortable-a lot of thought has gone into the cabin and its facilities-The cabin sits on the largest slot on the site with a sloping wild garden, with some fantastic trees and a swing seat the views are very peaceful although my Arnie never got the chance to enjoy it my sons dogs did. There is a swimming pool and sauna on the site which was open but we simply didn't get the chance to use it and we could have had it to ourselves, were too busy out and about-Talbot bar at bottom of lane very dog friendly and met Dave the dog who sits on reception, free pool table also-loved feeding the wild bids each morning but wasn't a fan of the owl who was up and about each night-overall a little magical cabin and land it sits on. Will visit again-All the best PM

We had a great weekend at Fir Garth. The house was well equipped for our group of 10: Good sized en-suite bedrooms with comfy beds and cosy duvets, a really well equipped kitchen ( we did lots of cooking), the main living was a great sized space, a projector, games, an extra snug room, outdoor space etc. The location was excellent, pub and shop within walking distance, excellent walks in the area, a beautiful view, quiet, easily accessible. We all agreed we would definitely come to the house again.

Beautiful remote location (but still easy to access Ambleside), lovely views from the property and everything you need inside including a plate of brownies waiting for us when we arrived. Great facilities (use of the pool and sauna). Walks from the doorstep.
