Abbott Moss

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Abbots Moss. It was last minute (same day booking) and everything was ready and in order. The house was definitely a home away from home which is exactly what I am looking for. We have two children and a very well behaved golden - all loved the location and the house. The grounds and lake are exquisite and so peaceful. The lounge area was beautifully decorated with sofas I would purchase for my own home. Linens are also something I look for and the beds were all lovely. We would love to return some day please..

Had a lovely time - even with the inclement weather! Was great to have cake, milk ,eggs etc on arrival Look forward to coming again. Margaret

This was the quickest I've ever relaxed into a summer holiday. The space and setting, the lake and wildlife, the peace and quiet were all wonderful. The local area was also wonderful to explore - mountain biking trails at nearby Coombes Wood, some great tracks and trails along the Pennine Way, and short drive to Ullswater to enjoy The Lakes. Time moved delightfully slowly, and certainly out first thought as we departed, was that we can't wait to come back.

The house is just amazing & the furnishings and decor are fabulous. It is equipped with everything that you could possibly need and we especially loved the Aga. It’s set in a beautiful peaceful location but not too far from villages with shops and pubs. It’s not very often that you find somewhere this fabulous that is dog friendly and our whippet loved playing in the large garden. We will definitely be back.

Our stay at Abbot Moss was simply amazing. We could literally find ourselves just sitting starting out of the windows watching nature. The house was impeccable in every way - everything you could ever want or wish for. The decor, so tasteful and well finished - just beautiful. The surroundings were quiet, peaceful and serene and the wildlife was right at your door step. We enjoyed every minute, rain or shine - could have stayed forever. The house keeper, Julia was so kind and left a beautiful home made cake and freshly laid eggs and was always there to help.

Honestly the most comfortable rental we have ever stayed at in the most idyllic surroundings. We loved the house and the lake. Our welcome basket was an unexpected treat. We went on walks as a family and enjoyed the bird life of the lake. A memorable holiday. We hope to return.

We had a wonderful stay at Abbott Moss! Everything about it was just perfect - a beautiful home in an exquisite setting and great communication with the housekeeper. It was very difficult to say goodbye. Thank you Abbott Moss!

Abbotts Moss is such a special place for our family. It feels like home from home, with space and peace and comfort for each member of the family. Waking up to the lake view; watching a movie by the fire; enjoying morning coffee at the kitchen table in complete silence: it’s all a tonic for the soul. Julia (the house keeper) leaves us perfectly clean white beds, eggs from the best chickens in the world, and cake and wine on arrival- we couldn’t ask for more care, comfort, cleanliness! We will return for our fifth visit when we can!

A beautifully appointed, handsome house in a stunning setting. Perfectly placed for all the Lake District spots but away from the crowds. We loved our stay at Abbot Moss. So peaceful and with everything you could possibly need with a well stocked kitchen, games even blankets and dog towels. The decor and furnishings were stunning.

The welcome basket of goodies was lovely, particularly the delicious Lemon Drizzle cake and the eggs. It was also really appreciated when we asked if we could take an extra dog to be told that in this case we could. As it turned out we didn’t take Doris’s friend as she was just too old and our friends didn’t feel she could have coped with the long walks. Fabulous house, beautifully decorated and very well equipped. The house was so well equipped and lovely to spend time in that we only ate out once. All in all a wonderful holiday.

An exquisite place to stay - stunningly interior-designed and luxurious whilst also being relaxed and functional. That’s a combination which is hard to achieve and Abbots Moss does it just perfectly. We had a lovely stay, thank you.

Perfect remote spot to relax and unwind. Lovely views. Great area for wild swimming. Delicious homemade cake on arrival. Just absolutely fabulous.

A beautiful house in a fantastic location. Equipped to the highest standard - it must have been a complete van full from John Lewis!! The beds were all very comfortable indeed and the fine cotton linen was lovely. The garden furniture was very comfortable and a great place from which to watch the sunsets. A large TV on which to watch Wimbledon and comfy sofas. Our adult children all said it was the best house/gite we have ever been to and we've been to a lot! The house was very well maintained and the cleaning was impeccable. Thank You!

Our stay at Abbott Moss could not have been better. Beautiful location and house. Julia could not have been more helpful with any enquiries we had. We will return again, it will be a good place to book for a few days when we travel to Scotland. Tips for other travellers Lowther Castle was a lovely day out. We could not get enough of the walks along Hadrian's wall and the museum's.

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Whole family really loved this beautiful house and peaceful surroundings. We will definitely return and highly recommend!

We were lucky enough to have booked Abbott Moss for our early Spring holiday. Such a beautiful house in a wonderful location. The exceptional furnishings and carefully chose art made it feel like home away from home. Tamar and Julia were fantastic and communications were clear. We will definitely return. Book it - it really is magical and you won't regret it!

This was our second stay at Abbott Moss and it already feels like the home-from-home to which we hope to return each year. Last time it was summer and we enjoyed eating outside, and looking at the lake. This time in the rainy and cold weather we were able to enjoy the log stove and the warm living room playing board games with the kids and watching movies. It was such a happy and peaceful time. The beds were as clean and inviting as always, and the CAKE which welcomed us was sublime - THANK YOU to Julia, the lovely housekeeper, for this treat. We will definitely be back! xxxxx

Abbott Moss was a lovely place to stay with our family, it felt like a home when we walked in. Lovely location, great to sit out with a drink and watch the sun go down over the lake with it's wildlife. Well equipped kitchen with quality appliances and equipment, just read up on Aga cooking before you go as it was new to us, although there is an electric cooker and oven as well. Location is good for NW Lakes and Hadrian's Wall without being in a busy area, good amenities nearby.

We had a gorgeous stay at Abbott Moss. The photos don't do justice to the location and beauty of the house - both inside and out. Driving down the private lane, our first glimpse of the house at the side of the lake was magical. It is remote and peaceful and yet no distance to the Northern Lakes. We enjoyed the wood burning stove and the addition of free logs was a bonus. Julia's lemon drizzle cake was a wonderful surprise. Everything has been thought out and we felt incredibly lucky to have stayed there. Book it - you won't regret it.

We were lucky enough to see in New Year 2022 from this wonderful house. To wake up on the first day of the year to those beautiful views across the lake was amazing. The change of colours on the lake and wild life are not to be missed. Everything about the house was well thought through to make our stay comfortable and if any small issue did arise it was resolved promptly. There are some great walks which start just outside the property -one of which takes you to a pub with good food. A lovely place to holiday and take a step away from work or the city.
