Bracken Howe Reviews

Our second stay here with our family, including 4 grandchildren, and it is a really lovely house to stay in for a Lakes holiday. Plenty of equipment, large kitchen, toys, games, entertainment consoles and hot tub. Even in October it was a treat to be able to use it as the weather was very kind to us! Beautifully clean, comfortable beds and complimentary hamper and toiletries. Plus a welcome vase of flowers. Only minus was the noisy road sweeper in the car park at 6 in the morning! Lovely to hear the owls and see the bats on Halloween. Plenty of easy walks from the house too. We were very thankful to be allowed to use an outside plug to slow charge our car.

Rhodes

Fabulous place to stay. Very well stocked and plenty of space for everyone. Beautifully maintained property. We aim to have our family holiday here again.

Hetherington

The best house we have ever stayed in in the Lakes. There was every thing we needed and more. The welcome hamper was great and a real treat. Sitting in the hot tub watching the planes fly overhead was brilliant. Even though we were in Ambleside, the house was so private and quiet. Ambleside has so many great restaurants and shops we didnt need to go far. There are so many walks from our door we didnt really need to use the car much. If you want something different go to Yew Tree farm for the Herdwick experience which was fantastic.

Sturdy

All that were on the Holiday had a brilliant time. The house was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The garden and hot tub were awesome and coupled with the excellent weather, our trip could not have been more perfect. Close to the centre of Ambleside so we had all the amenities on our doorstep. I would highly recommend this property for a memorable trip to the outstanding Lake District.

Griffiths

Everything was top class the comfort of ALL the beds, the hot tub, the dining space, the comfort of the living room and all the kitchen equipment. The dishwasher is the best I've ever used. The kitchen had EVERYTHING you could possibly need. The only thing that I couldn't find was a seive to drain my pasta I used a vegetable steaming pan but I discovered many seives in the cupboard by the sink on the last day! We hope to come back sometime but getting the 10 of us together was the tricky bit only 9 of us made it this time. One suggestion You have the most fabulously detailed information about everything in the house I read it all throughout the week but I could have done with a quick, idiot's guide for using things like the oven, TV, dishwasher etc. Also, the light over the dining room door to the patio We couldn't find a switch anywhere but thought the decking steps could have been quite dangerous without one We had our own lamp with us but others might not. We were all very impressed that a house of this calibre was available to hire for holidays. Thank you so much for sharing what really is a luxurious home from home.

Farrell

This was another great family week at Bracken Howe in glorious Ambleside and we feel it is now our second home. The house is grandly spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Cold sunny days and we still made good use of the hot tub every day.

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 7 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.

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH

about 18 Miles

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction. With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun. You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes. Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money. There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

about 20 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...

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU

about 20 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.

Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ

about 25 Miles

Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
