Castlegate House Reviews

Philip

A great stay for 6 adults, 2 children and 2 babies. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

Karen

Castlegate house was a fantastic accommodation. It had everything you could possibly need or want. The interior of the house was beautifully decorated and my dog the large secure garden . The hot tub was an extra bonus too. I would definately recommend this property and stay here again.

Louise

There are no words to express how good this house is. The owners have thought of everything! We really didnt want to leave.

Karen

We loved our stay at Castlegate House! Its the most well-equipped and comfortable property weve ever stayed in. The attention to detail is superb, with high quality furnishings and equipment throughout. We enjoyed exploring this quiet corner of Cumbria, returning to relax in the garden and hot tub. Highly recommended!

JOHN ROBERT WILL

This is a very well maintained and appointed holiday cottage. We have stayed in many over the years and few can compare overall. Hayton is a quite little village with very little going on, but a lovely retreat if you just want to get away from it all for a while. Allonby is an attractive little seaside town, which is walkable, whilst Maryport and SRead moreilloth, slightly further afield offer a little more amenity and both have fascinating, if quite different, seaside histories.

Tracy

This is by far the best holiday home we have been in, and we have been in a few. The house was fabulous, wanting for nothing and very clean. In our party we had a family of five adults and our German shepherd dog. The garden was excellent for the dog and for games in the garden. Walks can be made from the house to the beach using a quiet lanes. Not to mention the local lakes that can be walked around. The people in the local village are very friendly as well.

Bethany

Really lovely house with everything you could need and more!

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Castlegate House, Hayton. This very well done house was clean, well maintained and gives spaces to come together as a family or private areas for quiet when needed. Our family stayed here for a week and enjoyed visits to the nearby beaches and Keswick area. The owners took care of our every need, thanks for a gre at holiday.

Mhairi

Had a fabulous holiday at Castlegate House .

Amanda

The cottage was beautiful could not have asked for anything nicer, the garden was amazing. We took two dogs, my dog is 14 year old chocolate Labrador who loved the garden he was able to potter around. It was very safe for both children and dogs they couldnt get out. As a family we had a lovely relaxing holiday and would definitely recommend this co ttage.

Liam

Perfect house, enough space for group to feel comfortable. Attention to detail in every room.

Paula

Me and my family loved it. The house is stunning, very clean, very equipped with everything you need for cooking and cleaning. The garden is beautiful and much bigger than first expected. The hot tub was great, climbing frame and swings for the kids, loads of toys and books to keep the kids occupied. On arrival we was given a welcome basket with ch ampagne, bread, cheese and even dog treats which was very generous. The beach and supermarket was only 10 mins drive from the house which was perfect.

Sarah

Beautiful house, very comfortable beds. Clean. Lots of storage areas - the separate utility room was great! Kitchen was well equipped. Hot tub was amazing and we used it everyday. The garage had a games table in it which my eldest loved. The climbing frame and swings were great for the youngest and the play house. The beach is a two minute drive aw ay with plenty of free parking! The showers were powerful and hot! The area is very peaceful except the odd tractor going past. We had a great time.

Alexander

Fantastic space to let you heat up and wind down with the different places to visit around the area. Also serves as a brilliant place to be if just wanting a quiet down, giving a great variation of spaces to relax between the lounge, comfortable rooms, the garden or hot tub!

Michelle

What a beautiful find. Booked this lodge after coming across it on holiday cottages, for a surprise family get together for a joint family celebration. Castlegate did not disappoint, the house catered for all needs and it was well equipped. We arrived to a lovely hamper of fizz, treats and doggy treats too. My family thoroughly enjoyed there stay t oo. Not a lot happening in the location, but we had a nice day out on the beach of allonby.

Scott

Really nice cottage with great facilities. Only issue to be aware of is location. You definitely need a car as there is no pub or restaurant in the village. But overall well worth a stay. The beech (1 miles away) is beautiful

Marion

A fabulous holiday cottage. Beautifully decorated and so well equipped for a family holiday. Lots of space for everyone and homely. So many wee extras and a much appreciated welcome pack. The garden was child and pet safe with several seating areas. A new childrens activity swing and climbing section. The hot tub area was situated to be secluded an d shaded. Beach 2 miles away was an added bonus. We shall definitely return.

Jennifer

We stayed for a long weekend and had a fabulous time, despite very wet Lakeland weather! Castlegate House is a beautiful property and was spotlessly clean. We had plenty space for 4 adults and 3 children and the garden was fantastic. Weve stayed in lots of holiday cottages over the years and I have a tendency to be picky, but Castlegate was brillia nt. We hope to return in summer and make better use of the outdoor space. Thanks especially for the hamper & boxes of toys which the children loved.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

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...

This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.

The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files. We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.

We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery.

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.
