Guests say
Staveley Park Studio is a well-regarded holiday rental with guests praising its perfect location, excellent service, and beautiful setting. The studio offers a peaceful atmosphere, is well-equipped, and is conveniently situated for local amenities and exploring the lakes. Guests appreciate the cosy wood burner and the high standard of furnishings, though some minor maintenance and additional provisions would enhance the experience.
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, but some guests noted areas with dust and dirt, and a few items not clean upon arrival. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent issue.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to local amenities, and accessibility to walking routes and natural attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests find the studio comfortable, particularly noting the warmth provided by the wood burning fire. However, the inability to close the skylight blinds and a desire for extra blankets suggest room for improvement in comfort.
The studio is well-furnished and equipped for cooking and relaxing, with an air fryer and ample firewood mentioned positively. However, issues with hot water, a rusted tin opener, and a temperamental fridge indicate some maintenance concerns.
While guests have mentioned the provision of tea and coffee making supplies, fresh towels, and firewood, there is no mention of gifts. Therefore, it cannot be determined if thoughtfulness in the form of gifts is a consistent practice, and the score is set to null.

Staveley is a lovely, working and historic village with a celebrated gastro-pub and the Hawkshead Brewery, with good food available in both as well as in the much-loved café and the fish and chip shop. There is a grocer, a butcher, an award-winning baker and pizzeria, an artisan ice cream maker, a coffee roaster, a cycle super-store, a garage, a railway station and more. Here the River Gowan flows through the village and meets the River Kent, which provides a peaceful backdrop to the main street. Staveley is located just 12 miles off the M6, 4.5 miles from Kendal and 3.5 miles to Windermere and the popular tourist magnet of Bowness-on Windermere, offering a wide range of restaurants and gastropubs serving every possible type of cuisine you could want, from takeaway food to fine dining. You’ll find there an abundance of bars and pubs offering locally produced ales, cocktails and guest craft beers. Here you can take the Windermere steamers to Lakeside at the Southern point of the Lake and Ambleside in the North. You’ll also find several popular tourist attractions including The Beatrix Potter Attraction, which is great fun, or Brockhole where older children can enjoy a treetop safari on the high ropes. In Kendal you’ll find more of the major high street brands and supermarkets. It is itself a lovely market town and excellent for a day of sightseeing and shopping. If you love the outdoors, you’ll find wonderful walks from your doorstep, and a short drive will open up the best the Lake District National Park has to offer with an abundance of picturesque mountain landscapes along with some of the most stunning scenery, arguably, anywhere in the country.
These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 10 guests.

Not our first stay here and won't be our last. Lovely setting and very convenient for the village.

Great place to stay in a lovely village. The hot water went off on Sunday evening - I phoned the support number in the guest book and the heating engineer came out very quickly and sorted it out. We were there for another five days with no problems. Excellent service especially on a Sunday evening.
