Smithy house in Stainton

dalyanjewel Sunderland
Review Submitted: October 26, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
What a great place to explore the wonders of the lake district.
The home is stylishly furnished and and a joy to come back to after a day exploring.
The lounge with its wood burning fire is peerfect for unwinding and the kitchen is straight out of a Home and Garden feature.
The master bedroom has a stunning ensuite slipper bath and the other doubles 4 poster give a real baronial feel to the room, stylish and upmarket
Locally the pub is nice for a few drinks and the local hotel ( Brantwood) does superb rack of lamb and lots of other tasy dishes

Smithy House Stainton

Linner Durham
Review Submitted: October 22, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The house is an excellt base for waling with the Helvellyn range and Keswick/Borrowdale Fells and Blencathra within easy distance. So nice to return to a warm, comfortable house wih good showers after a long day out. The house is ecellent value for money compared with some in the middle of the National Park and styish too. The village is quiet and the Brantwood is spot on for a few beers and great food when you don't want to cook. I'recommend it to anyone.
