Cottage holiday rentals in Heads Nook

Really helpful host and lovely location!

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Amazing stay at Gatehouse Barn. It is a really lovely, homely, welcoming place to stay. Plenty of sleeping options downstairs and up and a cosy living space. Also loads of seating areas outside which were perfect to enjoy the sun. The area is really quiet and peaceful and the location of the barn is extra secluded and private. As a final bonus, the attached spa area was a real treat after long walks (loads of which can start literally from the front door).

Absolutely loved my 2 night stay, felt like I was in complete luxury ✨️ Was spotless, modern, amazing bathroom & facilities! Bed was so comfortable, hot tub was easy to heat, the little on site pub was brilliant fun!

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

Beautiful location for a lovely farm stay, great views from the hot tub! Loved being able to watch the cows and sheep. Claire was lovely and was ready to help at any moment despite us arriving so late at night! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Daniel and Sharon were amazing hosts. Everything as advertised. Would definitely recommend them 👍🏼

Spent 3 lovely peaceful days here! The place is spotless. Easy to check in, but quite a late one for standard check in times. Even with surrounding neighbours there was minimal disturbance.

We stayed at Bruce and Anita’s beautiful cottage and from start to finish their communication was excellent.. on arrival Anita had baked some beautiful whole meal bread and had bought us a lovely chocolate cake , and we were welcomed by lovely music on the Alexa .. Archie our Airedale terrier also loved the treats they left for him . The cottage was enchanting , pristine a beautiful enclosed garden for Archie and had everything we needed for our 3 day stay .. the views were breathtaking and it was so peaceful , quiet and the village and river were within walking distance. Hubby is a keen birdwatcher and enjoyed the conversation with Anita about all the birds within the location and was impressed they had 7 swift bird boxes .. Anita , Bruce and their beautiful dogs ( 3 rough collies) cottage comes highly recommended and we hope to revisit soon x Thankyou

The house had everything we needed, its very cosy house and beautifully furnished and clean. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The house is in a great location for visiting the near by wall. Graeme also went to a lot of effort to let us know where everything was before we got there.

A real gem. It’s better than the photos show. Full of character yet modern standards and amenities. Quality furnishings and kitchen equipment. Excellent mattress, soft, comfortable sheets and towels. So lovely that it’s family owned from someone born and still living in the area. Everything has been thought through so well equipped. Can’t wait to come back. We loved every minute of our stay. It’s in our top 5 of places we’ve stayed in. Thank you

The Nook was an absolute delight to stay at. Immaculate, tastefully appointed and with such attention to detail. When staying at most self-catering properties, there is always something you wished had been provided but Brynne & John had thought of everything - kindling, matches and wood for the fire, toiletries in the bathroom, salt & pepper and tin foil in the kitchen, plenty of books, lots of candles - the list goes on! Stunning garden setting provided lots is outdoor seating to read a book, enjoy a glass of something cold or dine al fresco. A superb property with wonderful hosts. We will definitely be staying again!

Alison is a delightful lady. So kind and helpful. Her cottage ( we stayed in Jemima Puddleduck) was very comfortable. Beds and pullows especially and all spotlessly clean. All we needed was provided Alison had thought of everything. We had a fantastic week. Thank you.

Beautiful cottage in a fab location. Great local pub with excellent chips, and easy to drive/walk to local attractions and walks. The cottage was charming, and very nicely decorated. We spent ages sitting in the lovely warm conservatory which was very welcome as the weather was very changeable. The bed was very comfortable and linen smelled lovely. Very quiet location and our little dog loved watching the birds in the garden.

Stannix cottage was perfect for our 3night stay. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of room in the property for 4 adult guests - we did not even use one of sitting rooms

We arrived and were met by the host who was so friendly and approachable. The cottage is just beautiful, the views are out of this world, stunning. We walked up the crag in the first evening and would highly recommend this. The facilities in the cottage are everything we needed, incredibly comfortable bed and lounge area. Although after arriving the weather turned against us, it in no way stopped us getting out and exploring and coming back to the cottage and knowing we could warm up and rest for the evening was a blessing. Overall, there is nothing we could add to improve things, we just wish we had been there longer and would love to come back! Thank you

My husband, son, and I visited the Strawberry Cottage for four days and four nights recently and we had a wonderful time. It was the perfect size for us - ample space to lounge and cook meals. The beds were comfy so we got great sleep. And the location was perfect - just steps away from so many restaurants, the bus stop to adventures in nearby towns, and lots of trails around Derwentwater. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage on Wastwater. The setting is stunning — right on the lake and surrounded by beautiful walking routes, perfect for exploring with our 18-month-old and dog. The cottage is tucked away on a peaceful farm with a great outdoor seating area to enjoy the views. It’s quite remote, with the nearest proper shop about 30 minutes away, but the nearby campsite shop (just half a mile down the road) had the essentials we needed. Other than that, everything was perfect. A truly relaxing break in a beautiful location — we’d definitely recommend it!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The cottage was cosy and comfortable, and set in a beautiful location!

We came here straight from our wedding with our two girls for our family moon and couldn’t have asked for anything more. From the moment we arrived with the little arrival touches to Susan setting out toys appropriate for our girls ages and the baby equipment we needed. We have never felt more welcomed especially with young children. After 3 days here I feel more relaxed than I do if I’ve been away longer and the kids have never slept so well thanks to the brook at the back of the house. Waking up and feeding the lambs on our literal doorstep was a highlight for us and the girls. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome and the memories made in your home xxx

My wife and I stayed 4 nights at Crook a Beck Barn. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property. It is well equipped, with a great kitchen, plenty of wardrobe space and a large walk in shower alongside a large bath. It is in a peaceful setting with beautiful views and has all levels of walks available straight from the property. We enjoyed the extras especially the lemon drizzle cake made by Judith. We will definitely books this property again on our next visit to Patterdale.

This is an absolute gem! If I’m lucky enough to come back to Penrith, I will absolutely try and stay here again. It is simply wonderful. Jayne was a terrific host and everything was incredibly easy. Really comfortable place to stay and highly recommend.

Wonderful accommodation, couldn’t fault anything. It was clean, cosy and comfortable with great views. Perfect for visiting Vindolanda and Hadrians Wall. The welcome treats of Prosecco, eggs, milk, cake and more were a lovely touch. Thank you Julia for a fantastic stay.

The barn ist very beautiful furnished and full of great ideas how to relax including everything you need for that. Everything is prepared to feel welcomed and gorgeous. We had a great time even sitting outside and Jenny and Chris were very helpful! We hope to come back and can highly recommend the cosy barn.
