Excellent location a bit steep in some places walking down to the village. Very clean and well equipped. The beds were the comfortised we have ever slept in. Plenty of space and excellent views over the mountains and valley. Needs a little tlc in some places.

Enjoyed our stay very much despite the mixed weather. Despite a few issues which can easily be rectified, the house is very comfortable with plenty of space & good views. There was a smell of dampness at ground floor level but this did not effect our overall enjoyment. Good location and views.

We had an excellent holiday at The Briars. The open plan living space is brilliant for families and our party of 6 adults, 1 infant and 2 dogs really felt at home. The bedrooms are all a good size and all had their own bathroom which was great. The downstairs entrance hall swallowed up our coats, boots, rucksacks, baby carrier and bike with ease.

This was a great stay for our family. We went with our children aged 1, 4 and 9, my partners brother and parents. It was in a great location close to hawkeshead with a lovely walk down through the fields. The only negative was that we didnt have access to the hot tub which was disappointing although we were made aware well in advance. The views outRead more of the living room window on a morning were beautiful. Very clean and homely. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone. Hide

The Briars is located in a lovely position at Roger Ground, Hawkshead. The facilities are good and the place is spacious.

Beautiful views in the morning with the large windows in the living space. Recently refurbished bathrooms, main bathroom was large enough to bath 2 kids at the same time. Fully kitted kitchen and a handy utility room. The location was great for walks down to the main village, to Wray Castle and to Grizedale Forest.

Just a point to consider, as the house is for 8 people you may wish to consider that one of the rooms with double beds is changed to twin beds. Our part consisted of 2 couples and 2 children who would ordinarily had the bunk beds but then we had another adult and mother who would have had twin beds had they been an option. As it was they had to havRead moree the bunks and the children shared a double which was fine. Just a consideration that's all. Also could have done with a pizza cutter. Lovely house. Hide
