Abbey Farm House Reviews

The property is amazing, a great size and has most facilities and entertainment you would need. The lovely hot tub was most welcome after a day trecking turn it on as soon as you get there to allow for heating up time Although the huge screen in the lounge is a novelty, we felt a decent sized tv would be better as screen clarity isnt good. There was a major issue with a backed up toilet as soon as we arrived needs a much more efficient Macerator and water pressure in some showerstaps dropped drastically if others using bathrooms. Phil and team were contactable and tried to get issues rectified as soon as possible. Some general maintenance required, and the double room on ground floor was unappealing we didnt use it and took the small twin on top floor instead. Not ideal for an adult However, the other rooms were all lovely, nice beds, clean linen and blankets plenty of it. Great situation for the beautiful beach at St Bees, a 3060 min drive in to visit the lakes.

Property is very rundown ,called a plumber at the beginning of the holiday no one had arrived the whole time we was there so we had left a note on the toilet seat for the cleaners as most of the toilets not working very well. Dirty plates and bowls were in the cupboard day we arrived. carpets need redoing.cobwebs , dust etc day we arrived just as the cleaners had left!! I was very disappointed as I myself had planned for this for all the family to come to and they were not very happy with the whole thing, made me feel very unhappy as looked very different to the pictures.everything is just very rundown!!

Miss Sarah Quinlan

Amazing stay! Thank you!

Mrs Flo Daniells

General Feedback We 7x adults and 6 children 14yo 9months had a wonderful stay during May half term 2023. Plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen was the centre of all gatherings with plenty of equipment to help feed us all. Pool table was a big hit with the bigger kids. The beach is a short walk less than 10 mins away, coastal walks beautiful and the 9hole golf course also a short walk challenging but enjoyable. Easy drive into the Lake District with lots of close lakes to go and explore and returning at the end of the day for a relax in the hot tub. Overall a fantastic stay with a group of friends and family. Feedback for the owner Would be helpful to be able to open the windows in the games room. It got hot in the room when the weather is warm and there's lots of ppl there. The fridge furtherest from the back door was too cold as it froze all our veggies in the crisper. I did change the setting but not sure if that had much of an impact. Would be helpful to have some oven gloves. The bedroom next to the kitchen curtains need stronger hooks not plastic as the curtain is very heavy and very easily slips off the hooks when openingclosing.

Mr Ian Bottomley

With the property being quite old, you expect not everything being up to speck. We all enjoyed ourselves at the house and the beautiful St Bees and surrounding area plus we had the weather

Mrs Laura Lawrence

We had a great time but St Bees isnt a great family holiday location as the activities around are not extensive. The day we went to the railway it was closed due to a power cut! The house is lovely but lacks sufficient seating in a lounge and round a table for 16 and does not have enough mugs and plates The owners were very responsive to the fence blowing over in the storm

Mr Daniel Gilbert

The house is amazing, my only criticism would be there needs to be a brush for the pool table in the drawer

Mrs E Nossiter

It was a really good house for our group of 3 families and dogs. Unfortunately the previous guests had blocked the toilet on the top floor which meant we didn't have a toilet for the three bedrooms up there but we appreciate that this was not the owners fault and they did everything they could to get it fixed. Otherwise, the bathrooms were very good and the beds were comfy. We used the downstairs bedroom with the sofas as a lounge for adults and the kids loved having the larger living room with the huge screen and console. Having the pool table and hot tub was great and kept everyone happy during the rubbish weather. The kitchen was very well equipped for catering for large groups, only downside was having to take food upstairs so we could all eat together. Lots of nice touches to make it a comfortable stay and we really like the character of the house

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

about 19 Miles

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look". Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project. The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...

Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU

about 24 Miles

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US

about 26 Miles

This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years. There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk. For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families. Corporate groups are also well catered for.

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU

about 27 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals. Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area. Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos. At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed. Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
