    I was there with 5 other friends, mainly walking. We used the whole property for sleeping arrangements but there was loads of cooking, sitting and eating room in the main property for all of us. Easy walk to the hotel for dining out, drinks, pool table etc. Very difficult to fault for what I was looking for. Would have no hesitation about staying in the future.

    What a lovely place to stay! The house is large (there is enough space for all the family), well-equipped and very comfortable, with stunning views. The location is excellent - it was easy to find and we could get out and about around the Lakes very quickly. There was enough parking for everyone too. The house itself is really warm with the stove and it has a good internet connection. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place. Overall the whole family had a lovely holiday and we will definitely come back to Greenbank.

    Fantastic holiday in breathtaking surroundings. Greenbank had everything you could possibly wish for the perfect holiday in the Lake District. I went with a group of family and friends - there was plenty of space, luxurious, very clean and in a fantastic location to do everything you want whilst in the Lakes. I will definitely be coming back!

    Loads of room for 6 ladies The heating is brilliant, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds but very hard pillows. Problems trying to get dvd to work. Great location, easy to find and parking for two big cars. We would definitely stay here again You need a visitors book

    We stayed a week and there was plenty of space for all the family - very comfortable and homely, with the beautiful view and a great location from which to walk. The kitchen is modern and well stocked. The owners went out of their way to very kindly return by post some much loved items of clothing which we left!

    We had family to stay over Christmas and Greenbank was perfect for our needs. It is in an excellent location for access to the Langdale valley and surrounding countryside with paths straight from the door and Chester's cafe conveniently just across the bridge! We hired the whole house for 8 of us and it was very spacious with lots of private and communal space so we didn't feel on top of each other at all. David and Roja were very helpful and friendly and though we had a problem with the boiler in lower Greenbank they arranged for a plumber to come out at short notice on Christmas eve. The only down side of our week was the weather but then you can never guarantee that in the lake district! We would definitely recommend the house and the area.

    We stayed in November. The weather was sunny but very cold however the house is blessed with great central heating as well as a fantastic wood burner. We were super toasty! There's a great kitchen if you want to cook, but honestly there are numerous great places to eat within minutes of the property. We were blown away by the huge window in the lounge. Ohh my word, the views, especially the sunsets are just spectacular. The rest of the house is great too. There's oodles of space, the bathrooms are well appointed and very modern and the bedrooms cosy and very comfortable. Whenever I'm on holiday I nearly always have an issue with the bed. I find them too hard and unforgiving and I creak out of bed in the morning feeling stiff and sore. Not in this house though! The bed was fantastic. Not too hard, not too soft but just perfectly comfortable :) I would definitely stay here again.

    A weekend away was in order and led us to Greenbank and what a perfect setting just to kick back, relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. A quaint, higgledy-piggledy building with ample parking, it was spacious and well-equipped with everything you need and the view through the large picture window in the lounge is magnificent, especially at sunset. There's a pub and renowned cafe just round the corner if you don't fancy cooking and Ambleside is only a short drive away for a larger selection of eateries. All in all, you can't ask for much more. A second visit is already booked!

    The cottages are ideal for families and groups who enjoy walking. They are very well appointed so if you want to eat in there is everything required. There is easy access to walks directly from the cottage with the beautiful Little Langdale within easy reach. Elterwater is a short walk away with the a great pub, The Britannia Inn, being an attraction. Over the bridge is the Skelwith Bridge Hotel. Ambleside is just a few miles away to enable you stock up on provisions.
