"As a family of 10 adults 2 children and a dog we all had a fantastic week at Foldgate. The house is a large farm house with a lovely rustic feel and a traditional country kitchen with plenty of seating around a large table. The kitchen was also well equipped including an Aga which kept the kitchen nice a warm and was kindly topped up with fuel each day by the caretaker. They also provided many leaflets of activities and days out within the area, including many walks from the house over the fells. The house is situated in a very rural and quite area (which we loved) nothing much to do in walking distance. However there are many family activities within an hour’s drive. Must recommend a visit to Old Hall Farm in Bouth, a lovey little petting farm, the owners are happy to interact with guests, it also has a fantastic cafe which sells home made delicious food. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend Foldgate."

"Overall a stunning location surprisingly easy to find - however main reason for going; hot tub, hot tub temp was freezing when we arrived and then for the rest of the trip it was boiling to a point you couldn’t even rest your feet in it! When calling reception we were told oh yeah just put some cold water in it and leave the top off - both of which we did - not really what you want to be doing all holiday is filling tubs of cold water to cool your hot tub down - which then heats back to boiling in a few hours 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ All in all spoilt what could have been a perfect holiday - also sauna seats are that old that I wouldn’t reccomend sitting on them - after the first trip to the floor we left the sauna idea, essentially we stayed in a lovely log cabin no hot tub or sauna! Staff seem to be aware of the hot tub issue as the residents staying next door to us asked what our temp was like - seems to be a site wide issue!"

"We had a fantastic time staying here. From the easy check in process, being personally shown to our lodge and flowers, wine and a welcome card the whole first impression is great. The lodge is ample for 4 of us - beautifully furnished and with all facilities provided. I was expecting the place to feel slightly overcrowded and 'holiday camp' but actually, whilst clearly popular, the site was very relaxed, quiet and plenty of space. There was a very good children's play area which I felt very happy letting my 3 go off to by themselves. There is no swimming pool, pub or on site entertainment but the kids were well occupied and made their own fun. Pooley Bridge is a 5 min walk away and there is a fab outdoor pool in Askham, a 10 min drive away. We are returning next year - its the nicest and friendliest family holiday we have had."

"We had a great stay in this lodge with my parents and 2 kids as part of our holiday back to Ireland from Australia. The lodge was well designed, with good bedrooms and amenities at white cross bay. However on arrival we noticed a few things missing from the lodge (knives, rubbish bin, broken dining room chair). We contacted Skyes cottages, who manage the property on behalf of the owners. Knives were delivered by the owner the next day. We then realised the BBQ wasn't working after planning a BBQ ..."
