"We stayed in the Rydal (M23) and it was lovely! On the smaller side but it was only me and my husband and our 2 young kids. Lovely, clean and I would say new caravan with no chips etc. Resturant on site (The Willows) 10/10 every meal we had and using the app to order food and drink were really helpful. My daughter loved the soft play and the arcades there were really good, just enough.We went in June and it wasnt busy at all with kids so I didnt feel too chaotic. The town is 5 minute walk and the Beatrix potter museum is a must if you have younger children. Town is lovely and had lots of shops. Would definitely come back, thank you everyone :)"
"Lovely caravan. Clean, great stay"
"All good but it would have been very helpful to have towels, a little washing up liquid and/or a couple of dishwasher tablets."
"We had such a lovely stay at this place! The setting is truly beautiful and feels really private, perfect for relaxing. The owners were super friendly and always available if we needed anything, but they also respected our privacy. After a long day cycling, the hot tub was a real treat! Only thing to mention is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our trip at all. Overall, a great spot!"
"Our Fallbarrow review: Overall just as we expected from reading previous reviews. Everything we needed was there and decent sized fridge. 2nd bedroom small but you only sleep there so ok. Lounge decent size for 2 of us but would be a bit tight if 4 dining. At the end of the day we paid for a caravan holiday in great location and thats just what we got. Some furniture getting a little old but when used regularly to be expected."
"Really enjoyed our stay, would recommend!"
"Looking forward to visiting again soon!"
"Unreal place cant wate to come back"
"Overall, the caravan was quite tidy, though I did spot that under the beds wasnt vacuumed, which was a bit disappointing. The rest of the place was fine. Also, there was no toilet roll in the ensuite, but I had some with me. When I mentioned it at reception, they said I should have asked for more-no big deal really."
"Lovely site and some of the caravans are right by the lake. Unfortunately we were next to a road so we could hear traffic at night. It didnt spoil our holiday and we went walking everyday."
"Really spacious, clean and modern caravan."
"Lovely break away at fallbarrow holiday park"
"We had a lovely stay at this cottage, tucked away on a working farm but still very private. Robert and Sharon are such charming hosts, really friendly and welcoming. The place itself is surprisingly spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a comfy bed that made sleeping easy. The garden was perfect for our dog, totally secure and nicely furnished. Loads of walks nearby and we enjoyed dining out in Thaxted-The Star and The Maypole were great spots. Overall, wed definitely recommend it!"
"The place was stunning, super clean and comfy. We loved the hot tub! Had a brilliant holiday."
"We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location was perfect-peaceful and away from busy areas. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. Owners were super helpful without being intrusive. Theyve just got it right!"
"We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, the location is spot on - super close to town and the pubs, which was perfect for us. The place itself was spotless and well-equipped, with all the modern stuff you'd want, plus comfy garden furniture to relax outside. Its so peaceful, ideal for a quiet winter break. Only downers were the WiFi signal being pretty weak and the heating not being on when we arrived, so we had to wait a bit. Also, setting up the soundbar and Freesat took a few minutes. If only there was a leisure room and better WiFi, it would be absolute heaven!"
"We stayed here recently and honestly, it was a lovely place. Looks like an upgrade, even though we didnt book this specific room. Definitely planning to return next time!"
"Really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere here."
"We had a fantastic weekend stay here! Everything we hoped for and the place really delivered. The pups had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating and the garden-Luna was wagging her tail so much she hurt it, but she was clearly happy! Well definitely be returning; its a perfect spot for both humans and dogs alike!"
"We had a lovely stay in such a stunning location, really enjoyed the lodge and the overall vibe of the place."
"We just got back from a lovely week at Goddards Mead. The cottage had everything we needed and was so cosy. The hosts were super friendly, making us feel really at home. Even on a working farm, its surprisingly peaceful and relaxing!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, the place had everything needed."
"We had a really lovely stay in this charming spot. The location is quite private and peaceful, nestled away from the hustle and bustle. The owners were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, without intruding on our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling! One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt ruin our trip, but if you're sensitive to noise, its good to keep in mind. Overall, a great find!"
"Really enjoyed the peaceful setting, lovely stay!"
"We stayed at this place during a rainy December and honestly, it was perfect. The house is super well equipped and so cosy, which was a relief on the cold days. The bath was lovely and the shower was spacious-just what we needed. The location is great for dogs, especially those not fans of fireworks, since its really remote. No noise at all from the flight path either, so dont worry about that. Thanks a lot for a lovely stay!"
"The cottage was just lovely, especially with the hot tub and log burner. Hosts were super welcoming. We can't wait to come back soon!"
"We had a fantastic stay at this lovely spot tucked away in such a peaceful, private setting. The owners were super friendly and always around if we needed anything, but it still felt like our own little retreat. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling - absolute bliss! The only thing to note is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth mentioning. Overall, a great place!"
"Well definitely return, this is honestly the best park around."
"We absolutely loved this charming cottage-cosy log burner, relaxing hot tub and super friendly hosts. Perfect escape! Can't wait to come back for longer."
"We had a lovely stay at this place, tucked away in such a peaceful, private spot. The owners were incredibly friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but the location still felt secluded. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling - perfect! Only thing to note is that the cottage sits right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but it might be an issue if youre sensitive to noise. Overall, a great spot!"
"Excellent stay, beautiful location! Caravan could do with a new mattress my only feedback"
"We had a great holiday and would recommend the park to friends"
"Great location lovely staff seemed quiet but had a great time any way close to town centre 5 min walk 4 days not long enough wish I'd booked longer overall great place would recommend"
"Such a lovely park, good to be next to lake with its wonderful views. Couple of minutes walk and you are in Bowness. Staff very friendly and helpful. We have stayed there in the past and will hopefully get back again. Would definitely recommend."
"Had a fantastic week in a caravan. Lovely site, very clean, well maintained. In walking distance to Bowness"
"Fantastic place for a nice relax no Internet in the caravan just at pub and cafe."
