Michelle, Tracey and the team could not have been more helpful or friendly – we would definitely recommend a stay with Lakeland Retreats!
The staff from Lakeland Retreats are accommodating and welcoming – to say the least… I will 100% be visiting again
Great to deal with. Very helpful and considerate throughout the whole COVID-19 situation. Gave accurate (and very helpful) directions to accommodation.
We stayed at one of the properties located in Ambleside and the whole experience was a delight! Clear information was sent prior to our arrival and communication was quick throughout if needed.
We have a fantastic range of Christmas Retreats to choose from to get together with all your loved ones over the festive season.

I want to comment on the amazing service and support we received from Michelle and Tracy at Lakeland Retreats
I always think the test for a business is when there are problems and these last months have certainly redefined problems. Throughout we received timely communications with a proactive approach giving us options and support.
It is wonderful to be able to support a local, family run business and their commitment to doing their best for both guests and property owners is evident in everything they do.
We will definitely continue to rent their properties and highly recommend them.
Had a fabulous time this weekend at 1 Cote Howe Cottage in Rydal with our family great location for walking and visiting the lakes it’s a spacious House,Immaculate and well equipped in a quite location will definitely be going again.
This was our 4th time with Lakeland Retreats, the team are all very friendly, helpful and flexible, communication is spot on. A very well run company that we shall be using again.
The properties we have stayed in have all been superb and well kept.
Highly recommended, thank you.
Long weekend stay at Middlebeck Cottage in Ambleside on October 2019. Michelle at Lakeland Retreats was so friendly and helpful, both before our visit and on arrival. Perfect, peaceful spot but only 10 minutes to Ambleside. The cottage had everything we needed and log burner was very welcome. Thanks also for the welcome hamper. Would definitely recommend and hope to return soon. Thanks so much
Michelle and Tracy of Lakeland Retreats are passionate about their customer service and, from booking until after we had left, could not have been more helpful in making our stay a memorable one.
This was our second stay at Riverside Lodge which has a wonderful setting on the edge of Ambleside. The property has a relaxing garden on the banks of the River Rothay.
The Lodge itself possesses spacious accommodation for 6 people. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with a more than ample amount of crockery, glassware, cutlery and cooking equipment.
The ground floor’s generous sized room for wet gear, is a more than useful addition given the Lake District climate!!
The real icing on the cake is the full sized snooker/Pool table in the Games room; on first seeing it our 9 year old nephew thought all his Christmas’s had come at once and it certainly provided many hours of family competition. The Games room’s integral snug area, with its log fired stove, means that ‘spectators’ can relax and watch the fun!!
Riverside Lodge is a great family/friends retreat both within easy walking distance of the town and you can set off for lovely walks straight from the Lodge’s door – we will definitely be returning.
