We have stayed in these 3 properties in Lamplugh as a large family once a year, for over 16 years now. They are great for a big family get together, beautiful safe gardens with lots of places to play - paddling in the stream, the hidden garden and massive lawns, also great to relax in with the rear garden being really nice and sheltered. The 2 laRead morerger houses connect together which is really convenient, then the smaller one is separate. All are spacious, comfortable and homely, nothing to fancy so you can all relax rather than worrying about lots of fancy ornaments etc. A great location in a quiet part of the Lakes. Can't wait to be back again next year. Hide

Gorgeous location and stunning gardens. We really enjoyed our recent stay at Low Millgillhead, even with the inclement weather we could retreat to this homely house and light the fire and play games. One thing to make dog owners aware is that dogs are not allowed upstairs or on the sofas (not on the info provided until you arrive & read the welcomeRead more folder). Location is fantastic for exploring the lakes and no issues with the neighbouring properties. Thoroughly recommend and would love to return. Hide

The house and garden is beautiful - one of the loveliest houses we have stayed in. It is immaculately decorated, equipped and presented. I suppose some people might be put off by the shared site, but its really very private as well. The only slight downside is the location, which is a little remote, and the walk to the pub along the A-road feels a Read morebit perilous. Would still recommend for exploring the western lakes though. Hide

This cottage was perfect for a group of 10. Very spacious, plenty of beds, the kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need to cook and dine. The garden was spacious and the garden chairs and tables made it a lovely environment to chill out in. We loved our stay here, would definitely recommend.

Fantastic house which met all our requirements and we had a wonderful holiday. The beds were super comfortable! Great dining table which we enjoyed sitting round for games as well as food! The garden was delightful ( and very dog friendly) and it was a pity that the weather was such that we couldnt sit outside very much. It is situated in a delightRead moreful part of the Lakes and close to lots of the quieter lakes which we enjoyed exploring. Hide

We had a wonderful week, the house is perfect for large groups, and is comfortable and very well equipped. We cooked for 11 every night and there were plenty of pots and pans.
