Rated by Mrs Julie reviewed on 31st October 2015

Enjoyed a lovely girlie weekend at White Gables. House very well appointed and spacious. We enjoyed the chimnea (chopped wood provided) and sat out until 10.30 one evening with a glass or two! Pub a the end of the lane too. Cheryl and Colin were great hosts and provided useful info on the local area. Handy for Keswick and the coast (half hour drive to Allonby). Fab weekend. Would recommend this property for larger groups

The open living room, kitchen and diner were great, it made for a very sociable holiday. The showers had great water pressure which was much appreciated after long days walking.

Excellent accommodation for extended family to share time together. Great location. Peaceful and private yet within easy reach of nearby towns of Workington & Cockermouth. White Gables was home from home and owners made us feel very welcome. Would have no hesitation in recommending it.

An excellent property well appointed with plenty of space for a large group [ we were a mixed age group of 12]. The plentiful supply of toilets and showers make bedtime and mornings so much easier. The owners who stay in the neighbouring cottage could not have been more helpful.

Rated by Mr McDowell reviewed on 29th April 2014

The house was perfect for our family; the bedrooms were all of a good size and the fact that there were 4 showers and toilets made mornings a lot easier. The accommodation in general was excellent and the owners could not have been more helpful, an excellent base for a holiday.

Rated by Mr Saddington reviewed on 19th April 2014

Excellent accommodation that has plenty of space for three families to get together. There's plenty of bathrooms and showers for everyone. The open plan living space was ideal and the kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and cooking equipment. There's a good outdoor space for eating and for the children to play. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Rated by Mrs Howard reviewed on 11th April 2014

The owner was welcoming, kind and helpful. Never seen a house so well furnished. All 12 of us were amazed at the standard of the property and the pictures don't do it any justice! All in all, a real 10/10 please.

Rated by Mr McNulty reviewed on 25th February 2014

The open plan living area, meant that the group of 12 of us could all be doing different things but be together in the same room, and also have enough room. The free WiFi was amazing and the whole house was decorated to a high standard.

Rated by Mrs Purchase reviewed on 7th September 2013

Just back from a week staying in this cottage. There were 10 of us in total (5 adults, 5 kids) and the cottage accommodated us perfectly. A home from home that offers everything you could ask for. The owners could not be more friendly! The setting is so peaceful & idyllic. The cottage & garden are beautiful and spacious! The games room was a huge hit with the kids (and adults looking for a bit of peace)! It also offers an ideal base for exploring the surrounding towns - Workington, Keswick, Maryport & Whitehaven. I could not recommend this place enough & wound definitely go back!

Rated by strachan2011 reviewed on 25th July 2013

This is a well-appointed modern property in a pleasant rural location and was ideally suited to our large family gathering. The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive.

Rated by Mr Dobson reviewed on 9th July 2013

We stayed at White Gables in end of april 2013 as part of a group of 12 Mountain Bikers. We were actually all on the honeymoon of two of the riders who had got married during the week! We had such a fantastic stay, in fact it was no less than perfect! The welcome was fantastic by the owners who we felt couldn't do enough for us. The property itself is spacious, modern, clean and warm and the layout suited us down to the ground with the lounge and kitchen area perfect for communal living, seating large groups comfortably. There are plenty of lovely bathrooms for all which is ideal when you are mountain biking and the property is situated very close to the local pub which is perfect for a group of bikers. We also had a meal there which was fantastic. So sorry for all the 'perfects' and 'fantastics' but I can't find any other words to describe our stay at White Gables. Book with confidence...we will be returning hopefully soon!

An excellent wedding and honeymoon, we would not change anything. Great value for the location.

Rated by Mr Meyerhoff reviewed on 24th July 2012

The owners were two incredible people, gave us advice about places to visit and places to eat, which when you have three hungry children with you is really helpful. The house was amazing and very deceptive. From the outside it looked like a bungalow, but inside it had two floors with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms (one of which was an on suite) a large lounge dining room and kitchen and games room. The views and the gardens were exceptional. We loved this holiday so much that we didn't want to come home!
