A lovely place to stay for a family get together, garden was a bonus and so close to local amenities. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen and a BbQ too, would thoroughly recommend 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️

An excellent stay at Holly House with a group of friends celebrating our 50th birthdays. The house is clean, spacious and the bedrooms were comfortable and it was great to all have our own bathrooms. The location is perfect and we enjoyed walks, food and drinks in and around Pooley Bridge. The ample parking is also fantastic. We will definitely recommend and hope to return.

Large, comfortable house in a brilliant village position within walking distance of the Ullswater Steamer. Lots of places to eat and drink were within staggering distance. There were 10 of us catering for ourselves and there was plenty of fridge and freezer storage. The house was well equipped for cooking and eating, and we never ran out of crockery/glasses.
