Holly Lodge
Great house, very spacious with large private gardens, we were a party of 10 but still had more than enough room in the kitchen and the main lounge, The owner Di was excellent at providing infomation and very responsive. The house is in a lovely quiet location but you could still walk to the local pub in about 15 mins. We would highly recommend this propery and intend to visit again sometime.

About the host

Hosted by Di Dawes

Host profile image
Holly Lodge has been our family home for over 30 years. Our family are grown and are now quite widespread, in Europe and South Africa, and we now divide our time between two continents. The house was once used as a home based gallery for Southern African art, which is the main decorative feature. We love art and our collection of traditional and contemporary art is evident throughout. We do intend to return one day. We have raised four children, several dogs and cats and a few gerbils here over the years! Meanwhile, until that is possible, we would like others to enjoy our home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Holly Lodge is a perfect location for peace and tranquility but is also close enough to all amenities and attractions so that one doesnt feel isolated. The house is large enough for privacy but still retains a homely feel - it is a happy home in a friendly village.
Coach House and Grooms Cottage are ideal for couples or smaller parties of up to 4 people each. They are also peaceful with direct views across the Solway Firth - a fabulous setting for sundowners!

What makes this property unique

Staying at Holly Lodge, Grooms Cottage and Coach House presents you with a most convenient location, away from the crowds but close to the action! To the west you have the most fantastic Solway Sunsets and to the East you have the fells - Skiddaw and Bassenthwaite Lake are only a few minutes drive away. The house accommodates 10 people with ease and each cottage a further 4 people. If booked separately you are entirely private - together they provide you with more garden space and sleeping for 18.
