High Biggin Reviews

There is a lot to like about High Biggin it's old and quirky, very spacious, has lots of nice features and is in a lovely location overlooking Lake Windermere. It was also warm and cosy with the aga based heating system. Having said that, it was described as luxury accommodation but it's quite tired and in need of some refurbishment in a few areas. For example there were a number of cracked panes of glass throughout the house, lots of cracked tiles on the kitchen floor and lights not working or without bulbs making parts of the house quite dark at night . The biggest bugbear for us was dealing with rubbish. The bins were all full to overflowing when we arrived. One large double bin was removed to halfway down the long and very steep driveway, and was emptied during our stay, but it was not returned to the bin location outside the house. This made dealing with rubbish quite tricky for us having a small child still in nappies and two birthdays being celebrated during our stay. There was also no recycling guidance that we could see. Although we had an enjoyable week, I'm not sure we would choose to stay there again!

Sylvia

Thoroughly enjoyed by our group of seven , including two teenagers. The accommodation and facilities were firstclass with the attention to detail particularly commendable. We had to phone the hotel for the missing outdoor cushions which were sent immediately! Disposal of rubbish proved to be a problem! When we arrived the two smaller bins and a large bin were full..The large bin was moved down to the gate by somebody and was emptied but not the small bins.

Susanne

The house is abolutley fantastic perfect location, amazing views, lovely interiors. We enjoyed every minute of our holidays! But the information about the key collection at the reception of the beech hill hotel was not correct. After 25 minutes of waiting in the queue at the reception, we were told, the key is already in a key safe at the house that was quite disappointing. There were also some less important issues in the house itself the frying pans are all very old, only one was usable. The ashtray in front of the kitchen was not emptied, the bins outside were full,former guests left some garbage at the terrace, some of the windows are cracked. It is such a beautiful house, so it is a pity, that it seems like nobody really cares about it.

Beautiful cottage with amazing views. We very much enjoyed using the hot tub and playing the piano although this could do with some TLC. Very spacious, especially in the bedrooms and bathrooms. A little tired elsewhere in places, particularly in the sitting room, which was disappointing given the cost of the cottage. The equipment provided in the kitchen was limited for a party of 8, especially in terms of crockery and lighting in the living areas was poor. When a shower broke, a handyman arrived very quickly and dealt with this efficiently.

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.

about 16 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.

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...
