Fantastic break in a great location
Stoney Steps is a very comfortable, conveniently located flat, in the grounds of the Inn on the Lake, Glenridding. Plenty of parking, a pub/restaurant on the doorstep, further hostelries/coffee shops at hand, the great outdoors all around, nicely furnished and warm. There are shops in the village, but the nearest supermarkets are in Penrith. For the budding chefs amongst us, plenty of utensils and decent knives! Couple of points: the fridge freezer is diminutive, so don't expect to stick a week's family shopping in it! Could do with a washing machine and tumble drier for those muddy forays on the mountains. WiFi a bit hit & miss (well, it is very rural) and Freesat TV a bit fiddly. Overall, we loved it and will rent it again.

Fantastic accommodation in ideal location
Set in the grounds of Inn On The Lake it was perfect accommodation for family of 6 attending wedding at hotel and at a fraction of the price in the hotel. Stoney steps had everything we needed and was cosy & homely. The kids loved the bunk beds & the whole flat was surprisingly spacious. Thank you to Paul the owner I hope we will be back soon.

Lakes Escape
We had a great time at the flat and we loved it (Alice & Erin). Fantastic location on Ullswater. Enjoyed the lake & mountains in the day, & back to a comfortable home from home in the evening. Maybe a bigger fridge required if not eating out & staying for the whole week.

Good Choice
Excellent location next to the inn on the lake and just about the centre of Glenridding the flat was spotless and comfortable. The radiator in one of the bedrooms didn't work but nevertheless the entire flat was nice and warm. Sorting out the TVs remote took a bit of working out but once done there were plenty of channels to watch.

Perfect location, spacious cottage.
Recently stayed here for three nights for my nieces wedding at the Inn on the Lake, absolutely perfect location. Very spacious cottage with plenty room for the five adults and two dogs in our party. Perfect for people attending a celebration at the Inn on the Lake, also perfect for walkers with beautiful scenery. The bedrooms are very spacious and amenities in the cottage are fantastic. Highly recommended for a comfortable stay in a beautiful setting.

Welcoming home from home. Everything you would need for a holiday.
The apartment was clean and thoughtfully furnished throughout. Excellent location in hotel grounds, just a step away from a family wedding which was perfect for us. Glenridding is a beautiful place with plenty to enjoy on site and close by. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return for a longer holiday.

Great comfy stay
Lovely flat as reviewed by others. Paul has emailed detailed instructions well before our arrival so never had any problem. Aira force waterfall is couple of miles away. Flat is literally next to Lake and has beautiful scenic views around. Would love to visit again.

Pleasant Surprise
We stayed for a family get together and where pleasantly surprised real value for money. On arrival we came into a very clean, surprisingly spacious accommodation. Its the perfect base, very central yet quiet even when there was a wedding reception going on at the hotel on Saturday evening. The setting is gorgeous and the hotel grounds are beautiful. My husband went fly fishing off the jetty in front of the hotel. The owner and property manager are incredibly friendly and helpful. I am definitely recommending it to all my friends and family and will return for a longer stay.

Great little place in convenient location
Had a wonderful stay in Stoney Steps this winter. The flat is a good size, well presented and good value for money. Good location making access to the Lakes and all that walking very easy. There might be more luxurious places to stay but the feel of this flat is very homely. The facilities in the kitchen are basic but everything we needed was there. It was clean when we arrived, warmed very quickly and provided a good base for exploring all the Lakes have to offer.

Super location for this great flat!
We had a great week staying in this very well appointed flat. We did 5 walks straight from the door and could have done more. The flat is very well equipped with comfy furniture and beds. Plenty of kitchen utensils, crockery and space for storing mountain rations. The local information brochures, maps and wainwright books were more than sufficient to help us out with local details. The shower was powerful and hot and even lasted for 5 people worth of showers in one go! I would definitely recommend this flat for 6-8 people as long as two people don't mind a futon in the lounge, it was pretty comfy as futons go! We will definitely use this flat again. The owner was very helpful and all the details we needed were sent well in advance.

Great apartment stay with all you need and gorgeous views
Loved our stay in in this apartment. For the same price it less than a hotel room we had a spacious apartment for us and our two dogs. Great views of the hills and walks from the doorstep up Hellvelyn or around the lake. Nice village with a few pubs for tea and we had a night in as the kitchen is fully equipped. Would definitely book again.
