Family-friendly holiday rentals in Carlisle

Beautiful stay, the cottage was incredibly clean and well presented, the bathroom was gorgeous, and the hot tub was excellent. Fab location and great little walk down to the river at the back. 10/10

Blimey, we loved this. I am tempted to tell everyone about it but we want it all to ourselves! We had such a holiday, great kitchen, big open central space, luxury beds, amazing showers, fabulous decking area with massive window / door, hot tub, the indoor barbeque (which we called the pudding hut, we want one!), the outdoor fire, the walks, the ease of getting into Alston. Struggling to find anything to fault, maybe only the sound travelling between the lounge and bedrooms. Just recommend earplugs and going to bed at the same time!

Perfect stay for our group of friends. Communication was great, and we had everything we needed. We were really happy with the accommodation (and the bbq and hot tub!). Great spot to venture into the Lake District, and very easy to get to. Thank you!

Stayed for 2 nights and we didn't want to leave! Went for a break with friends and the pooch and all absolutely loved it. Beautiful home, views and great dog walks local. Very secluded garden area with hot tub which was lovely in the autumn weather. Will definitely be returning in the future! Tracey is a great host and very responsive when messaging! 5 out of 5 stars for everything ✨️

Harriet is so welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in her stunning barns. Everything is finished to a very high spec and the spacious bedrooms and en-suites are wonderful. The farm and countryside setting is beautiful. We were sorry to leave!

Thank you Lisa and Mark for a lovely stay to attend The Lakesman triathlon. Being walking distance into Keswick proper, but slightly out of the ‘hubbub’ of the town was ideal for us. Your responsiveness and proactivity on communication made the weekend for us. Thank you again 💚🙏🏽

The stables exceeded our expectations, and Margaret was an incredible host! already looking for when we can come back and visit again, this place is amazing!

The house was excellent and just what we needed for our weekend. The kitchen is so well equipped with everything you could need! Hot tubs cleaned during the stay. Perfect weekend!

We had a fantastic stay. The cabin is in a convenient location and was as a great base for exploring the Lakes. The sounds of river running along by the deck was wonderfully relaxing! Everything was homely, comfortable and inviting on arrival. Welcome supplies and fresh flowers were a nice touch too. Couldn't fault our host who was proactive and helpful throughout. We hope to be back!

Another great week at Hightae

Absolutely stunning cottage in extremely remote location. We had such a great week staying at The Bothy. Stephen and Dawn are very welcoming and relaxed hosts who are offering a truly unique stay in the forest. The cottage is extremely remote, but there is plenty to do in the area, including - cycling, walking and some great restaurants. We would love to come back.

Had a great stay here. The house is big and comfortable with plenty of space. It’s in a quiet, peaceful spot, which was perfect for getting away. The grounds are nice with a river nearby and lots of open space. There are some good walks around the area too. Beds were comfy and the place had everything we needed. It was also easy to get food delivered from the local Sainsbury’s. Overall, just a really nice, easy stay.

Wonderful stay in a peaceful stunning log cabin surrounded by wildlife with views of the western fells. We could see sheep and lambs grazing from the cabin windows, birds feeding and swooping down giving us a show morning and evening and rabbits running in the meadow opposite. The lodge was warm, inviting, clean and spacious. We walked in the fells during the day and lit the log burner at night, so cosy. Our two terriers loved gazing out and running on the beaches. We visited Seascale beach, Wastwater lake, Drigg beach and sand dunes, and Ravenglass. Nothing to far at all from the log cabin. Thank you so much for a perfect short break! Clare & Tom

We stayed for a month to work remotely and explore the local area. It’s a beautiful cottage with amazing outside space - we often worked outside on the upstairs terrace! Great location in the centre of town but still felt private. We had a couple of issues over the month but Alan was extremely responsive and did what he could to resolve ASAP. We would definitely return!

Absolutely gorgeous cottage, lovely friendly lady met us as we arrived. Very peaceful pretty location. Felt like home from home. Every possible thing you could need is thought of. Gorgeous baking left for us and homemade jam little lovely extras. Just perfect

we enjoyed the stay very much. A lovely cottage! Steve and Rachel were very helpful and very friendly. Thank you!!

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

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.

A lovely property in a great location. The house is very comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and lovely bedroom. It is an ideal base for exploring this area of Northumberland, which is very attractive.(We were walking the northern stages of the Pennine Way.)

We had a great stay at Whitbarrow. We have visited the resort before on many occasions. We had some minor issues in the accommodation which were swiftly resolved by Seasons staff. Kal and Anita were great to communicate with leading up to and during the stay also. Very responsive and helpful. Good facilities onsite too and helpful staff. Thank you

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!

Great lovely little cottage that was very homely and a great place to relax after exploring the lakes! The village of elterwater is lovely and peaceful and so much to do you could nearly get away without going off on the car anywhere as there is a regular bus service that runs every hour! We all said we would defiantly stay again if we was to come to the Lake District as this place had every thing you needed! We would def recommend 👍👍 Thanks for a lovely stay

Raphaela and Steve were very helpful and pleasant. They encouraged us to let them know when we needed something. The cottage has a great bathroom and well-appointed kitchen and is very comfortable. We enjoyed the farm-like atmosphere—it’s so peaceful yet so close to amenities. And the grazing cows standing in the road to town were easily nudged with minimal mooing. We loved it!
