We loved staying at Ford Cottage! It was a fun, cozy experience in the Lake District. Tim has a book of things to do that really helped us. We loved taking walks to the parish church and on the public path. We ate at a local pub a few miles away and took a ferry down the lake. I recommend this place!Kelli2016-10-08T00:00:00Z
Beautiful stay in a gorgeous cottage. Property as described and finished to a high standard. The hamlet of Rusland is peaceful and quaint. A truly perfect weekend, thank you!Andrew2015-10-12T00:00:00Z
Lovely cottage, very well placed for access to Windermere and Coniston lakes. Easy access from the M6. Cottage itself is very nice, lovely setting, very quiet with great views.Trion2017-05-02T00:00:00Z
This is a gorgeous cottage in a fabulous location (once you get over the narrow lanes). Living in London, I love any opportunity to be able to wake up and have my breakfast sat opposite the sheep with their lambs or wander along the road and attempt to day hello to the cows! The cottage is spotless with everything you might want, the DVD's came in handy when it was a wet afternoon and we'd had enough sightseeing. It was lovely and warm and we all slept like logs in the beds. It's a good location for your trips. You do need to come prepared with your provisions as there isn't a local shop - except the eggs from the farm opposite and the very welcome 'present' left by Tim. I could happily have stayed here for a very long time!Denise2017-05-19T00:00:00Z
Highly recommended - we had a lovely stay. The cottage is well equipped, sparkling clean and in a great location for accessing the southern part of the lakes. We'll be back!Liz2017-02-18T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at Tim's cottage. The cottage is beautiful, and has a good mixture of period features and modern appliances. Tim was very communicative, giving us detailed information prior to our arrival and there was a welcome pack on arrival that gave us plenty of information about the cottage and the surrounding area. We would definitely like to return.Verity2016-05-06T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay at the Cottage. It's in a great location in a small hamlet, and not too far from all the major amenities - if you need them. The house was lovely and clean and you can tell it's a much loved second home. The views out the back of the cottage across fields are spectacular. There were 5 of us - 2 adults and 3 kids, and the house was perfect for us. Lots of room and nice comfortable bedrooms. Also, really warm and snug! We had lovely sunny bright weather - exceptional for February, but it was great to come into a warm house and then lighting the log burner, just made it. So restful. The house is very well equipped and we wanted for nothing. We had walks everyday with the kids, in and around the house, and found rivers, stone circles, standing stone, marshes, and just beautiful scenery. We only had 4 nights, but wanted to stay longer....and we will be back. Perfect.Gordon2016-02-15T00:00:00Z

A beautiful and tranquil place amongst the trees. A restful weekend and a breath of fresh air. Deborah has provided everything you could need and her home baking ain't half bad! :-)Edward2017-02-20T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay at The Bothy, a really beautiful place for relaxing, and the accommodation was better than expected. Thanks to Deborah and David.Joan2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
It felt a privilege to stay at High Hay Bridge, on a national nature reserve, in a voluptuous barn conversion. Lovely hosts. An encirclement of natural and man-made beauty. Perfect.Nigel2016-11-05T00:00:00Z
Deborah and David were such fantastic hosts. From the initial booking stage to the arrival day the communication was seamless. The place had everything we needed, and was set in such a beautiful location. The property is set on a Nature Reserve with lovely country walks and wildlife on the doorstep. Overall, I would highly recommend to stay in The Bothy! We certainly would love to stay again! Thanks Deb and David.Laura2016-10-15T00:00:00Z
Deborah and her husband are charming hosts and the bothy is in the most beautiful setting, which you can't fully appreciate from the pictures. We loved staying here, and appreciated the many little touches that made our time here so enjoyable, from the homemade bread and biscuits to the extremely helpful and friendly hosts. Highly recommended!Paul2017-03-05T00:00:00Z
Deborah and David are wonderful hosts! Their house in the middle of the natural reserve is amazing and the Bothy is a cosy and warm place wonderfully designed with all comforts in direct touch with the surrounding nature. Staying at Deborah and David place exceeded all the expectations we had, having the possibility to stay comfortably in the middle of nature, to walk around close to the deer and just a few miles from some of the main attractions and trails of the lake district. I strongly encourage to stay at this fairy location to enjoy the calmness of high hay bridge and the exquisite hospitality of Deborah and David!Enrico2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful few days staying at The Bothy. Our hosts were very welcoming and made it clear they were happy to help or advise as needed. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. It was lovely to have some food provided too on arrival. Highly recommended.Pete2016-09-21T00:00:00Z
The Bothy was an amazing place to stay and in a great location for the Southern Lakes. It was cosy and the nature reserve was beautiful and we saw a deer outside our bedroom window! We didn't meet Deborah but David was very helpful and friendly and the welcome pack was lovely with homemade biscuits and bread. We are already planning on staying again!Abi2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at the lodge! The area was beautiful and Neil and Jane were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely love to go againHannah2016-07-14T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin thanks to Jane. The home is spacious, very clean and tastefully decorated. It has a lovely porch and view out into nature and the hot tub was a nice touch. Beds were very comfortable and all amenities catered to (including a big bowl of chocolates on the coffee table!). Kitchen facilities were great for cooking meals. Despite the secluded location you have three other cabins quite close but we didn't hear anything from them. The birds singing was very sweet. We also accidentally left some items behind in the cabin and Jane has kindly posted them to us. Thank you again! SashaSasha2016-07-08T00:00:00Z
Neil was a spectacular host from the start, he was more than helpful giving us directions and information about the lodge itself before arrival. It was easy enough to find and the pictures do not do it enough justice, it is simply beautiful! The lodge is very spacious, modern and well equipt with anything you could possibly need and more! The hot tub was an absolute delight, we sat in the tub all day and evening throughout our stay looking upon the beautiful scenery and watching the sun go down. I would honestly reccomend Neil's place to friends or families as we enjoyed our stay so much! Hopefully we will be back in the summer to explore more of the surrounding countryside. Thank you for having us!Kirsty2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
Very relaxed place surrounded by lots of green. Enjoy the morning coffee in the morning and wine after dinner on terrace. The cabin is super quiet since there is nothing around it. (in a good way) The roads to the cabin is very narrow (some unpaved) but we enjoyed checking cows and sheep. :) Great place for family vacation. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Neil.Tatsuro2016-09-15T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely time staying at the lodge! Would highly recommend the lodge as a great place to stay, very comfortable, clean and well presented.Natasha2016-10-08T00:00:00Z
Liesbeth, June 2016 A cozy fully furnished luxury lodge, exactly as promised the pictures. We felt welcome with the beds, chocolates on the table and the hot tub warm. Communication with Jane went very enjoyable. Highly recommended in a beautiful omgeving.áLiesbeth2016-06-22T00:00:00Z
We've just spent a lovely three nights in the lodge, and can't recommend it more. It was warm and spacious with plenty of room for the four of us, and came equipped with everything we could have asked for- hot tub, log burner, TV with Freesat, WiFi, dishwasher, etc. The lodge is in a great location- easy to find (Neil and Jane provided helpful directions) but still quiet and secluded. It's a short drive away from both Coniston and Windermere- during our stay we visited Hawkshead, Bowness-on-Windermere, Kendal and Ulverston, none of which took more than about half an hour to reach. The nearest pub is The Eagle's Head in Satterthwaite, about a five minute drive away, and is definitely worth a visit. Neil and Jane were in contact regularly and responded really quickly to any queries we had. They'd also stocked out the lodge with helpful maps and leaflets of nearby things to do. We had a great time (despite the damp weather!) and we'd love to return in the summer to make the most of the nearby walks and bike routes.Chris2016-02-09T00:00:00Z
Perfect. This lodge is beautifully surrounded by nature which makes sitting out in the hot tub even more enjoyable, the interior of the lodge is nicely decorated and provides everything you could need for your stay. Also, the log fire heats the lodge up perfectly in winter!Hollie2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Marianne's lodge was fantastic! I have to say that it's the BEST EVER Airbnb experience I have ever had. The lodge located in the natural woods and it provides a wonderful mountain view and a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere. It's decorated with a very high standard quality, which is exactly the look as on the photos. I do recommend ANYONE who wants to visit the Lake District to stay at this lodge. Best thanks to Marianne as well for providing my families such a memorable place.Xiaofei2016-09-18T00:00:00Z
Very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the lake country!Jessica2017-05-15T00:00:00Z
Our party of 3 couples had an amazing time at the lodge over the New Year. Marianne was wonderful with keeping us up to date on the weather conditions (as bad floods had hit the North), but everything was perfect. The recommended pub in Hawkshead was lovely as was the lodge itself. It was immaculate, warm and cozy with everything we could possible need. The location is ideally positioned for exploring and everyone in our party would return in a heartbeat.Tracy2016-01-02T00:00:00Z
Thank you so much for letting us stay in you're lodge...we are very happy and we spend a very nice and relaxing time...The house is very clean and everything what u (URL HIDDEN) amazing!!! We are definitely come back there soon and hope we gonna stay longer than last time! 5 stars for the lodge and 5 stars for the landlor for communications!Raul2015-08-31T00:00:00Z
A perfect break. Had a wonderful time at the lodge. The location is secluded, surrounded by nature. Just what you need to detox from urbanisation!Muhammad 2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
We booked the lodge in advance for a weekend getaway. It was a great experience. The lodge itself is ideally located, close to Windermere, and is quite spacious for six people. The host was extremely helpful and gave us very clear directions with loads of photos about what the near amenities are and how to find the lodge itself. Overall a nice holiday getaway and one no doubt to be repeated.Behzad2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

Hi there! We loved our stay in your converted barn, felt like a small hotel. The log fire was wonderful on the rainy days. To walk around on your farm and say good morning to your animals was a hit. A shame we did not meet you and your children and those eggs we where waiting for but the gin, chutney and biscuits where lovely. We explored the Lakes and went walking. Thanks again.Anna2016-07-03T00:00:00Z
Beautiful location, wonderful cottage, so cosy inside. Loved our weekend here, couldn't have wanted a better place to explore the Lake district from.Katie2016-03-29T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay at Katherine's place-it was my favorite Airbnb experience thus far! The children adored waking to the sounds of the farm animals and playing with the dogs. We appreciated the modern amenities of this refurbished barn(dishwasher, heated bathroom floors, flat screen tv/DVD combo) as well as the solitude and peace afforded by its remote location and lack of wifi/mobile service. A quick walk up the lane or a hilltop grants clear cellular service but kept us from being distracted by email while in the cottage. We liked the proximity to several public walking paths, the Bethecar Mor , Lake Windermere (lake cruises and boat rentals), Bowness(The Hole in t' Wall pub, World of Beatrix),Haverthwaite(steam engine train ride) and Cartmel(home of sticky toffee pudding and lovely shops). A twenty minute drive took us to a small grocery store in Hawkshead with a wonderful dinner at the Eagles Head Pub in Satterthwaite on the way back. I could have stayed longer than our five days and I'd love to return to this property.Coleen2017-04-21T00:00:00Z
The hosts were brilliant and took very good care of us. Katherine was kind enough to arrange a travel cot for our daughter, which was very helpful. We had copious amounts of firewood to keep us warm and cozy during our stay. We had plenty of walks starting from our doorstep and ending with a cup of tea in front of the fire, watching the lovely scene outside our living room window. Our daughter especially enjoyed interacting with all the animals in the farm. My personal favourite were the guinea fowl. We had a wonderful dinner on our last night with a leg of lamb purchased from the farm. What a way to end our stay in the Lakes!Rumana2017-04-07T00:00:00Z
This fabulously kitted out barn conversion was just perfect as a base for our Mountain bike race team. (One couple and 2 singles) Within Easy reach of Grizedale bike trails we had access to everything we needed. Lovely relaxed atmosphere on Katherine and Hamish's farm and the house is very well accessorised. 2 En suite shower rooms and comfy beds just topped it off. This family really go the extra mile to help you out too. Thank you again. Mikes Bikes Aviemore Race Team xKirsti2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
Katherine's converted barn was the perfect place for our New Year's Eve getaway.

Wonderful from start to finish. Carole was the perfect host; genuine and sincere, nothing was too much trouble and we had some great chats over breakfast. . Fab location and great facilities. My children 5 and 11 fell in love with the place and were very sad to leave (as I was). We will definitely be back. Make sure to give Jeff a cuddle!Tim2017-02-16T00:00:00Z
A great place to stay if your looking to get away from it all, brilliant views and walks and a drivable distance to restaurants if you don't feel like using the kitchen. Carol was a pleasure.Curtis2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
My family of 4 (2 children) stayed 2 nights. The location is wonderful. Not too remote but peaceful. We enjoyed so much in this barn playing games. Carole is so cheerful and helpful. She offered us a free British homemade dinner too.simon2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Fantastic stay, lovely hut, and Carole was very helpful in guiding us to good walks/places to eat &c. Would highly recommend!!Eleanor2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
We stayed at the camping barn for 4 nights for a MTB race, the location is stunning! The barn is more than acceptable for a comfortable stay and it was very refreshing not to rely on a TV for entertainment. A truly lovely secluded location ideal for hikers and bikers. There is no conventional oven but we planned meals we could cook on/in the wood burner and enjoyed the experience.kate2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
The camping barn suited us perfectly for a short break in the Lake District. The accommodation was spotless, well maintained and the welcome was warm. We enjoyed being on the farm and the children loved feeding the lambs in the morning. The location was perfect for us being within easy reach of Coniston and Windermere. There are some good pubs nearby serving good food and Carole was on hand for recommendations and advice. We would certainly recommend Abott Park Farm to our friends and family.Matthew2017-04-07T00:00:00Z
Very nice rustic cabin, the farm and surrounding hills are gorgeous, great location to visit the lakes district, lots to see and do nearby,a town with grocery store and places to eat with in a 15 min drive, Carole and her son are excellent host, made us feel like family, there's no WiFi but it was ok with me, it was the first time in a long time, we visited with the kids without Mobile device's, there was board games in the cabin and we stayed up late playing games as a family, would definitely recommend staying thereMike2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Jackie's place is absolutely beautiful! Clean, cozy and modern while still maintaining the historic finishes and touches. We loved walking along the footpath (in the boots Jackie let me borrow -- thanks!) and hearing birds chirping, cows mooing and sheep baaahing. It was so serene and peaceful -- everything we wanted in an English countryside stay! You will love Jackie's place, and Jackie, too! Our conversations were wonderful and we really enjoyed everything about our stay!Maggie2017-04-04T00:00:00Z
Jackie and her best friend Gem (her lovely dog) are super hosts! The well equipped flat was lovley and warm. Jackie also kindly showed us her beatiful garden and her lovley goats. My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay!Wei2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed staying in Jackie's attic flat. Very comfortable with all you need for a self catering break. Good advice was given on location of nearest grocery shop and local pub. Ideal for exploring this area of the Lake District.Rose2017-04-10T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Jackie's place was awesome. You basically get the upper level to yourself with all the necessary facilities. Everything is clean and works well. Communication with Jackie was straightforward and she also conveniently has some maps to use. And lastly, having a friendly Gem coming for some extra pats was also a definite highlight!Lan2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
A really great house perfectly situated in the southern lake district. Clean, spacious and quiet, it was everything that was advertised. This house is really impressive, great value for money and is a great base for a weekend of outdoor activity. Definitely recommend.Anthony2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
This house is in a lovely quiet location and yet easily accessible. Friendly dog and goats as well as lots of wildlife. We saw herons preparing to nest, birds on the feeder and woodpecker calling overhead. Great view from the living room window. Very convenient for the Lakeside (steam) railway to Windermere and Grizedale Forest. Jackie is a very accommodating host. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with modern amenities but still lots of character. A great base to explore this quieter part of the Lake District.Gil2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
You sit by the window on the top floor, sipping tea and looking out at happy goats on green fields, walled off by old stone fences. It's pretty idyllic. Jackie has made an ancient building into a very comfortable place to stay, while maintaining a few quirks to remind you that many generations have used this place.Gretchen2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

We have just returned from a long weekend at Woodside Cottage and can't rate it highly enough. Superbly equipped, delightfully located and reasonably priced, Woodside offered us a perfect base for a weekend in the Lake District. The log fire was splendid, especially as we had a lot of rain; the rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. The cottage is very spacious, and very suitable for a family and dog. Alison and Brian communicated well and provided us with a great deal of information regarding the area which was very useful. I would highly recommend this Cottage... we will certainly return.Steve2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Walking distance to 2 local pub/restaurants which were lovely with great food/drink choices. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone wishing to explore the area and we would have liked to have stayed longer!

Rebecca's place is exactly as described - only better! The ground floor property is immaculately decorated and much larger than it appears in the photographs. The property is located actually within the Graythwaite estate which makes it feel as though you are quite literally staying in the middle of a huge beautifully maintained garden! The accommodation has all of the mod-cons you would expect. Dishwasher / washing machine and excellent wifi which we used during our stay for both internet and our Amazon fire stick to stream movies (all of which it handled without issue). It should me noted however that neither of us could get a mobile phone signal anywhere within the estate - which made contacting our parents on a landline a bit difficult. This isn't intended as a negative - just information that may prove useful to other visitors. Rebecca was an attentive, accommodating host and was excellent at communicating. We are busy checking our diaries to see when we can come back!Natasha2017-05-02T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely little cottage which was spotlessly clean and appears much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. The only downside was some road noise which may be ok for some but we live in a cul de sac and so weren't used to it. Biscuits flowers and a welcome card were a very nice touch. The bathroom is large and stylish with a bath to die for. The slight downside was it could do with a shelf to put your toiletries but that is me being picky. The bedroom were both clean and well decorated, with a double and two single beds. The main bedroom would benefit from a set of drawers but apart from that it was lovely. The downstairs lounge a spacious and has Sky TV if you want it, and there is a free and good internet signal All in all a very pleasant stay which I would recommend for anyone wanting a base for the lakes, especially if like us you have a dog which are welcome hereKev2017-04-04T00:00:00Z
A luxurious, cosy home from home, the cottage is ideally located with great access to south Lakes attractions. Thoughtful welcome pack, fantastic communication from Emma, easy self check in and out. The house is clean, welcoming and very well equipped with every detail considered. We underestimated the proximity of a main road which had a steady stream of traffic, with accompanying noise and fumes which limits outside access. Once inside though, the house has everything you need for a relaxing family break.Julia2017-04-07T00:00:00Z
It is a great cottage whatever it's location or inside of the house, hope we can be there again in the future. Emma is also a nice host. Thank you for your arrangement.Keith2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

Such a lovely quiet place to stay. The cabin was spacious and cosy at the same time and we were in this secluded clearing which gave us tonnes of privacy. The location was beautiful too, the forest was basically on Lake Windermere, couldn't recommend it more! There was even a working toilet! Had the best experience and the hosts were extremely nice and helpful.Katherine2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

Hannah was very helpful by giving me travel options to get to Fell Foot and was very quick to respond to my emails with any queries. Everything we needed (crockery, bedding, towels) where already in the cabin. We were very glad to be staying here and not camping as we had torrential rain! And the cabin was a great shelter. It was very quiet and relaxing.Alice2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Had a fantastic stay at the cabin. All we needed to bring was ourselves. Crockery, pans and a kettle were all in the cabin and the gas hob was great for brews. Being October it was a bit chilly but plenty of bedding was provided to keep us warm and a couple of hot water bottles as well. The setting was lovely and we were impressed by the whole campsite and would love to come back in the summer. Thanks very much!Lisa2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

Had a great stay in this cabin surrounded by the woods. Very peaceful and a great place to unwind and stick your feet up. Very clean hideaway with heaps of utensils and a good gas cooker.Beck2016-10-06T00:00:00Z

Enjoy the cozy warm comfort of the Arctic room with its central fire pit/bbq. Comfy beds and beautiful setting - we were able to enjoy looking out onto a beautiful bluebell wood. Great walks straight from the hutstef2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
Spent a lovely night at The Woodman's Huts! We would all highly recommend them to other guests. The decor was so stylish and every detail had been thought of. We found our stay really comfortable as the huts had all that you could wish for inside. We particularly loved the additional barbecue hut and imagine it would be great in Winter too. We'd love to return and are very grateful to our kind and helpful hosts! Thank you for welcoming us! See you again soon!Helen2016-05-29T00:00:00Z
What an absolute treasure! Both the accommodation and our hosts Liz & Neil, were fab. The huts themselves are situated in a secluded area through the woodland, with a lovely vista from your front door. It has everything you could hope for, from comfortable beds, facilities to cook a meal, right down to the fine touches like a bluetooth speaker for your music. We had a wonderful meal in front of the fire at The White Hart pub down the road, on Liz' recommendation, before returning back to our own fire for Moet and marshmallows on the open fire-pit inside the unique Arctic cabin. Absolute perfection. After a very restful sleep, hot showers and fresh coffee in the cafetiere we chatted to our hosts about where to continue our weekend away in the lake district. They were very helpful and pointed us in the direction of some great little places for food and photos. The Woodman's Huts are beautifully decorated and offer a real home away from home. The Arctic cabin just adds that touch of luxury and really makes it special. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you both so much for your hospitality, t'was the ideal start to our visit - we can't wait to come back one day!Hannah2016-05-01T00:00:00Z
So fantastic. A lovely place to stay with very welcoming hosts. I will be sure to return again. Also, great advice about visiting the blue bird in Coniston. I would thoroughly recommend a visit. Thank you very much!Zoe2016-07-17T00:00:00Z
Very cute and lovely room. They have the bbq room so warm and cozyamanda2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
Most amazing place to stay - You must must must visit!!! Hosts are lovely. Accommodation is unique, captures the imagination, perfectly clean; it was as if we were the first to stay there. Everything you require is thought of from crockery, cooking equipment to first aid kit, towels, tissues, shower gel and free marshmallows for roasting on the fire in the barbecue hut. Love love love this place. FYI: Stayed with hubby and 8 month baby in little hut and all was good. Baby bath even fits perfectly in shower and Moses basket worked well on bed and by bedside.Zohar2016-08-19T00:00:00Z
Had a fantastic stay in the Weismann huts. Beautiful with everything we could possibly have needed and more! Loved the artic hut cosy and the marshmallows were a bonus!Harriet2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
Had the best little weekend away at the woodmans hut. Would 100% recommend it and will be back! Elizabeth it so friendly and helpful and is able to suggest plenty of things to do around the lakes. Thank you againAimee2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Silverholme is a fantastic house surrounded by beautiful grounds right on Lake Windermere. All the rooms were immaculate and the amenities provided made our stay there very enjoyable. There is easy access to several local towns and many activities to do on the Lake, but we were equally as content just enjoying the amazing views from the house, particularly through the long windows in the kitchen. Highly recommended to everyone.Simon2016-06-25T00:00:00Z
Sophie and the whole team at Graithwaite were top drawer from start to finish, accommodating our group needs with aplomb. We heartily recommend Silverholme and the Graithwaite estate to anybody planning a family, group, or company event and gathering. Stunning venue, team, and service. 10/10Jeffrey2016-12-12T00:00:00Z
This has been so far our best experience of staying with Airbnb! The house is indeed a real Manor with very fine decorations, five-star-hotel standards of bathrooms and living beds, comprehensive housing equipment as you can imagine, as well as the huge garden and lawn in front of the house with spectacular view on the lake! Expectations was totally exceeded!Marco2016-07-12T00:00:00Z
Sophie did a great job of making us feel welcome and the house was simply amazing as well as being in a great location. Everything was provided as stated in the listing as well as towels, shampoo & shower gel which was great. Checkout and check in were made convenient for us.

A quiet hamlet set amid beautiful fells, built of stone with an old cottage's charm. Greatly improved by the addition of a large, quality conservatory. Six of us came to stay, which made things a little congested, but we coped, and it was fine for a short break. It was lovely to find a fire ready laid in the wood burning stove, and we made good use of it. The sofa bed in the lounge worked well, while the four-poster in the main bedroom was a little soft on the back. Our only complaint was the male pinup on the ironing board cover.Jim2017-04-12T00:00:00Z
We stayed in this cottage as a couple and it was perfect for a short stay in the Lakes. It was well located just south of Lake Windermere and easy to get to from the M6. The cottage itself is very cosy and had everything we needed for our stay. The wood burner was much appreciated in the cold winter weather! Gordon and Charlotte were very helpful hosts when we had questions about the property and were quick to respond to messages.Hannah2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
A lovely place in a quiet neighbourhood to stay at if you're coming to visit the Lake District. I would definitely recommend it.Yoan2017-01-17T00:00:00Z
A quite little stone built cottage. Located perfectly for exploring Lake District area. We were 4 adults and an infant. We found double bunk room very small with very less head space for adult to fit in the bunk beds. Would recommend it for weekend get away for small families.Navneet2017-04-28T00:00:00Z
Cute cosy little cottage with good access to some great things to do in The Lakes. Enough space for 4 of us, everything worked well. Woodburner was a winner. I'd recommend this place and host if you want a humble convenient stay in the South Lakes.Caro2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The hosts are very accommodating and made every effort to ensure we had everything we needed for a happy landing after our long journies. The back garden is beautiful and feels quite private. We would've spent more time in it if the weather had been better. As it was we spent a couple of evenings tucked up warm by the fire, enjoying the peace and quiet. There's a spa just a short walk down the road who gave us a good deal on daily passes and offer a range of treatments. Overall, a really restful time. Thank you Gordon and Charlotte.Karen2017-04-04T00:00:00Z
We really love the cottage. We had a lovely time staying there with my family. Everything you need is there..the kids loves it too. Good for our family of 5, peaceful location, attractions is short distance away...we recommend this place, sure we will stay there again.Gina2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
This place is close from the M6, 15min drive to Ulverston city centre. Rooms were quite cosy and would recommend for a small size family planning to spend a relaxing weekend/short get-away.Mausam2016-11-29T00:00:00Z

07 Mar / Last Stand and Schluesselschloss Released
Release trailer featuring Eurovision Song Contest winner Måns Zelmerlöw
Stockholm March 7, 2016. Fatshark today released the second free DLC for Vermintide called Last Stand as well as the first paid DLC for the game, a new map set in the iconic Warhammer fort Schluesselschloss.
"With Last Stand we're raising the bar a couple of notches – teamwork becomes absolutely necessary to survive", says Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark. "If you thought one Rat Ogre was difficult, imagine them in a tag team."
In the Last Stand game mode players fend off horde after horde of Skaven in intense and increasingly difficult battles. There is only one objective: stay alive for as long as possible. The more waves completed, the greater reward and glory. Last Stand is a free DLC that includes the map The Town, set in the Von Jungfreudsplatz in central Ubersreik.
If players want to broaden their Last Stand horizons, they can purchase Schluesselschloss and get an additional map for $2.99 / €2.99 / £1.99. If you own the Schluesselschloss DLC, you can invite anyone who owns Vermintide to play with you, even if they don't own the DLC.
The Last Stand trailer features Swedish pop star Måns Zelmerlöw and his 2015 Eurovision Song Contest winning song Heroes. With Heroes Zelmerlöw became a household name all across Europe, performing it live in front of over 200 million viewers.
"I listened to the song while driving, and I kept picturing the Vermintide heroes in front of me. It was simply the perfect song for a trailer," says Rikard Blomberg, CFO of Fatshark. "We called the record company the very next day, and my car driving vision became a reality."

At Google's annual I/O developer conference today in San Francisco, the first big wave of third-party apps for the Glass were revealed.
Twitter launched its official app, which lets Google Glass users tweet photos and text, as well as reply to, retweet, or favorite tweets and notifications. Originally there was a third-party app that let users tweet from the device, but it was only capable of sharing photos. Now when a user shares a photo using the app, it automatically adds the words, "Just shared a photo #throughglass," in the tweet.
In addition to Twitter, the Google Glass also now has social media apps for Tumblr and Facebook, which seems to be focusing on photo sharing. After taking a picture, users can post it to their timeline immediately and add a caption just by using their voice.
Elle is trying to be the first magazine to bring its content to Glass; the magazine created an entire team to make it happen. By using the Elle app, users will be able to read stories aloud and view photos that accompany each piece.
It might be a little while before people get their hands on Glass, but at least when they do they'll be able to go on some of their favorite sites. Darin, a Glass Explorer, should be getting his soon. Check out the tweet he received from Project Glass today:

David Dimbleby was joined by Secretary of State for Education Alan Johnson, senior Conservative politician Lord Heseltine, General Secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers Bob Crow, businesswoman and campaigner Martha Lane Fox, and novelist and columnist Allison Pearson.
Career: Alan Johnson has been the secretary of state for education since May 2006.
Having left school with no qualifications, he worked as a postman before entering union politics, becoming General Secretary of the Communication Workers Union in 1993.
During this time he served on the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party and was the only major union leader to support the controversial abolition of Clause IV of the party's constitution, as advocated by Tony Blair.
After becoming an MP in 1997, he served in the department of trade and industry and the department for education, before entering cabinet as the work and pensions secretary in 2004.
Despite reports last year that he might challenge Gordon Brown as a Blairite alternative for the Labour party leadership, in May 2006 he announced his desire to succeed John Prescott as deputy leader and last week was successfully entered onto the ballot with the highest number of nominations of any of the candidates.
Career: Michael Heseltine is one of the most senior Conservative politicians, whose political career has spanned four decades.
He became the Conservative MP for Tavistock in 1966 and served as a junior minister in Edward Heath's government, before being promoted to secretary of state for the environment, and later defence secretary, by Margaret Thatcher.
His challenge for the leadership of the party in 1990 triggered the resignation of Lady Thatcher, but he was beaten by John Major, who made him deputy prime minister in 1995.
Upon retiring from the Commons in 2001, he was made a life peer in the House of Lords.
After backing David Cameron's election for party leader, he has led the Conservatives' cities task force, aimed at increasing Tory support in urban areas.
Career: Bob Crow is the general secretary of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT), which has more than 75,000 members.
In 2003, a decision by some Scottish branches of the RMT to donate funds to the Scottish Socialist Party led the Labour Party to disaffiliate the union, under Crow's leadership, after more than a century of close relations.
The son of a docker, he became involved in union politics while working as an underground track-repairer for London Transport.
He has previously been an active member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, and Arthur Scargill's Socialist Alliance, though he currently has no party affiliation.
He has been a vocal opponent of the war in Iraq, saying in 2005: "Our view is that this is a trade union issue. Money is being spent on the war that could be spent on public services. We have a right to say where our money is being spent."
Career: Martha Lane Fox is a businesswoman and campaigner.
She co-founded lastminute.com in 1998 and its overnight success made her an icon of the "dotcom bubble" of the late 1990s.
Although the industry subsequently crashed, she was able to keep the company afloat, stepping down as managing director in November 2003 to "explore other challenges".
In December 2003, she went to work with the owner of Selfridges, and took over the day-to-day running of the business. However, in May 2004 she was involved in a near-fatal car crash, which led to her spending a year in hospital recovering.
She is a non-executive member of the Channel 4 board, and a trustee of the charity Reprieve, founded in 1999 by the human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith to campaign internationally against the death penalty.
This week it has been announced that she is joining Marks and Spencer as a non-executive director.
Career: Allison Pearson is a novelist and columnist for the Daily Mail, having previously worked at the Daily Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
Her first novel, I Don't Know How She Does It, was released in 2002.
She is also a regular contributor to television programmes such as The Late Review on BBC Two.
She recently wrote of the Iraq war: "As the prime minister perfects his own exit strategy from Downing Street, let's hope he's finding time to work on an exit strategy for the best of British. Blair's war isn't worth the loss of even one more life."

10 Ways to Tell Your Company has Switched to Cheaper Health Insurance
With the lingering bad economy and corporate cutbacks, especially on benefits, here are some ways to tell if your company has switched to cheaper health insurance....
—Your annual breast exam is done at Hooters.
—Directions to your doctor's office include "Take a left at the trailer park."
—The tongue depressors taste faintly of Fudgesicles.
—The only proctologist in the plan is "Gus" from Roto-Rooter.
—The only item listed under Preventative Care Coverage is "An apple a day."
—Your primary care physician is wearing the pants you gave to Goodwill last month.
—"The patient is responsible for 200% of out-of-network charges."
—The only expense covered 100% is "embalming."
—Your Prozac comes in different colors with little M's on them.
—You ask for Viagra, and they give you a Popsicle stick and duct tape.

Daniel Radcliffe Reveals Which Celebrity He'd Stalk in Real Life
Daniel Radcliffe gave another – how do we put this lightly? – revealing interview on last night's episode of Watch What Happens Live, during which he gave host Andy Cohen the rundown on which celebrity he'd stalk and which celeb's bedroom he'd visit if he could cast an invisibility spell.
The spirited Harry Potter star was surprisingly honest, albeit tongue-in-cheek, when he confessed to wanting to stalk singer Katy Perry.
Of course, that answer should come as no surprise to any fan of Daniel; he recently revealed his crush in an interview last month. (Watch it here.)
As for who he'd spy on, Daniel went for another hottie – actress Scarlett Johansson – though he admits it's only "because otherwise I reckon I wouldn't get in there."

C++ simple OpenGL, WinXP support?
C++ simple OpenGL, WinXP support?
Jan 18, 2014 at 8:48am UTC
I want to write (and learn) a simple-as-possible OpenGL program, using the latest version of OpenGL that is fully supported by WinXP.
As far as DirectX goes, I think DirectX 9.0c is the latest version that WinXP can use.
But, as far as OpenGL goes, I have no idea. Also, I have no idea which libraries I should be using and including. There's opengl, gl, glu, glut, freeglut, glew, glfw, and maybe more, with many versions.
I don't know which things/libraries I should even be using, or, which ones are too new for WinXP, or too ancient (even for WinXP).
Can anyone give me some guidance?
The program just needs to render 3D shapes with textures, and the ability to move around with user input. :)
(Additionally, if anyone knows any tutorials that are tailored to these includes/versions, I would also be very grateful.)
Thank you so much.

For tutorial, the great one is the arcsynth one, at
Anyway, Windows only natively supports OpenGL 1.1, so you will need to directly import the higher level functions directly, which can get complicated.
My recommendation is to use the "Unofficial" OpenGL SDK, which provides a bunch of useful utilities to do basic OpenGL, as well as providing a utility called glLoad, which does the complicated process of loading all the OpenGL files and declaring them for usage. Otherwise, GLEW is a library to help simplify this loading of extensions, which can be used instead. Read the manuals to see how each one works. Hope this helps!
EDIT: Fixed tutorial link
EDIT: Just so you know what each of what you have mentioned are:
OpenGL: The graphics rendering standard and API
GL: The header that is included to do basic pre-3.0 rendering
GLU: The OpenGL Utility Librariy: Deprecated, used to simplify tasks used in pre-3.0 rendering
GLUT: The OpenGL Utility Toolkit: A cross platform windowing system to create a quick and easy window. Most useful for demos, its also very old.
FreeGLUT: A modified, up-to-date version of GLUT.
GLEW: The GL Extension Wrangler, used to use modern OpenGL (i.e. 3.0+)
GLFW: Another windowing system, designed with games in mind.

Well, my initial concern was that I am including either too many libs (overhead which I am not using), or libs that are too new for WinXP (possibly wasteful again if it includes functionality too advanced), or libs that are too ancient for WinXP (wasteful again, if I am including the overhead of outdated functions (even for WinXP) that I shouldn't use anymore)
The OpenGL SDK seems to package them all together which is sort of what I was trying to avoid.
Am I not understanding something?
Thank you for the descriptions of what each does, that does help.
I'm pretty sure I should have freeglut, because (looking at your link), it has window-making code, input, and rendering. Is that all I'd need, then, for a program that renders 3D shapes with user input? But usually whenever I find a tutorial that uses freeglut, they also include gl/glu or something as well.. ????
Jan 19, 2014 at 6:59am UTC
You will need a few libraries to just get a window up if you want simplicity. I would recommend starting with pre 3.0 OpenGL combined with GLUT or a substitute for GLUT. It is simple, and easy to learn and get started with. It's great for small experiments to introduce yourself to the world of 3D and graphics programming.
Jan 20, 2014 at 1:56am UTC
Just to differ on opinion here: I would recommend NOT learning pre-3.0 OpenGL at all, because the way to draw shapes (i.e. the fixed routine glBegin / glEnd functions) are completely different to the newer versions, and all it will do is get you confused.
If you want the minimum number of libraries, you will want (assuming freeGLUT):
FreeGLUT for the window
GLEW for the graphics, assuming that you want to be able to support 3.0.
GL and GLU are used for the old style graphics, which is completely outdated nowadays. Also, XP hasn't really been that far outdated, the only parts that would stop this working would be the graphics drivers that you have installed. You will definitely need to update them, though.
Jan 20, 2014 at 10:04am UTC
Thank you sirs for the thorough information!
So to recap: gl/glu are fixed function pipeline pre-3.0 rendering (*too* outdated) but freeglut and glew will give me the things I need but still work on an up-to-date(as possible) WinXP machine.
If everything I've said seems correct, thank you -- I'll check out freeglut/glew and get to work. If I've said something incorrect, please by all means correct me. Thanks again :)
Jan 20, 2014 at 3:13pm UTC
Am I not understanding something?
Yes, mainly that when a program is compiled most compilers will optimize the code and throw out any parts that were included in the object file but never used. Even if it does not throw out this excess code you will not notice the micro second of load time it adds to your process or the extra page or three of memory that it might occupy. Memory is cheap and abundant in modern systems and should only be a concern when you are about to run out of it. Until then as long as you are managing your dynamic allocations properly then you're already doing better then 90% of the commercial software on the market today.
Is that all I'd need, then, for a program that renders 3D shapes with user input?
No, OpenGL does not handle user input or Window management. GLEW or GLUT create windows. But I can't remember for certain if either of them handle user input, I know that OpenGL does not. I usually use SFML for this since it's easy and I have a lot of experience with it.

Self-CensorshipSep. 28th, 2014 09:25 am
My preferred way of saying it now looks more like "no fucks given" -- which is, I think, a little bit more accurate in that it's a statement about my assessment of the risks and benefits of saying something in a particular situation. Which is to do with how much power I have in that situation.
So somebody who says "I never censor myself" is either extremely powerful (and if that person is Donald Trump, he might just be making a completely straightforward statement of truth); is foolish (somewhat more common than the Donald Trump scenario); or isn't being totally honest. (Ironically.)
It's the last case -- the "not totally honest" case -- that I want to look at more carefully. I think a lot of people take pride in their putative lack of self-censorship because they like TV shows like "South Park" or admire some particular comedian. But they're not as funny as the comedians they admire, or even as funny as "South Park" can occasionally be.
More to the point, I think "I don't censor myself" often comes with an implied moral judgment: that there's something dishonest about not saying what you really think, in every possible situation. Tell your friend that his haircut looks nice, when you think he looks like someone put a bowl on his head and cut around it? YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON, because somehow honesty (about something unimportant) gets weighted much higher than the value of maintaining a relationship and making someone else feel nice. Why is that? We know there's no single moral principle that trumps everything -- most decisions are some form of balancing test or another.
What does the expression x + y mean in a program? Pick whatever programming language you like (except Lisp, I guess -- sorry) for the purpose of answering; at least, any one where x and y denote variable references (so, not Erlang or Prolog either).
You don't know, right? It depends on what x and y refer to in the lexically (or dynamically, depending what language you picked) enclosing environment when this expression gets evaluated at runtime. If you are a programmer, you understand that context doesn't only affect meaning. It is meaning. Or at least, you understand that when you're reasoning about programs.
So why would I choose to not say exactly what I think in a given situation? If the same person with the haircut was a total stranger, and my job was to do quality assurance for a haircutting place, then probably I would say that his haircut looked bad. So that suggests that context matters.
Not only does context affect the meaning of what you say, context is meaning in and of itself. For example, if I was at a bar with a very close friend and we were 3 drinks in, I might tell a fantastically filthy joke. (I mention "3 drinks in" because shared intoxication is a legible indicator of intimacy in my culture, rather than because drinking makes people behave badly.) I wouldn't tell the same joke at 10:00 AM on a Monday in a meeting at work. Why is this? Am I a hypocrite because I'd tell the joke in one situation but not the other? If the joke is somehow bad if I tell it at work, isn't it also bad if I tell it to my friend?

It is VERY helpful that my food preferences have changed. I am grateful for that. So, so grateful. It takes away the need for "will power"- or at least not so much!
And I weighed myself this am- to see how my body reacted to the fries last night- no change! Happy dance. So I think it is OK as a once-in-a-great-while treat, but since I wasn't satiated, not sure when I will do this again.
