Glen was the perfect location for a family get together. The mixture of ground floor and first floor bedrooms - well appointed. The weather was against us sitting outside so we loved the sun room and seeing the potential of the tiered garden. The setting in a quiet village. The local pub. All excellent!
We had a lovely stay at Glen Bank, the house is beautiful and full of character and its in a lovely quiet village a short drive to Appleby which is a good size market town. We spent many hours in the Orangery dining room and garden. The garden is lovely on a couple of levels with plenty of sitting areas and a great BBQ area (though the garden needs some tlc as whilst it is low maintenance it feels like there is no regular gardner to keep it as its best which is a shame as it would be absolutely stunning). There are few better places than Cumbria in glorious weather and if you want an escape away from it all to kick back and relax Glen Bank is ideal - thank you for sharing your wonderful house with us!
I slipped on the decking due to leaves and moss on the decking which could have resulted in an injury. However the cottage was very good.
The cottage was absolutely beautiful and a real home from home. There wasn’t one thing I would have changed or needed. Clean comfortable and cosy also spacious, plenty of room to spread out. We will definitely return.
Everything we needed and attention to detail. Excellent location with parking for all of us and even a car charging point.
Everything was as described on the website. The property was very clean, well-equipped, and had stunning views. The owners at the local pub were very welcoming. We had a most enjoyable family break and I can thoroughly recommend Glen Bank, and Rural Retreats.
Stunning cottage, clean catered for everything you would need, ,
Beautiful property in great, peaceful location. Perfect for a large family get-together.
Wonderful cottage, very well equipped, in a lovely peaceful location. The owners are extremely helpful and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable.The pub in the village serves excellent food and the staff are all extremely friendly. Lots to do in the local area.
Glen Bank is a special new addition to our portfolio and we are delighted that you like it as much as we do.
Glen Bank is a beautiful, spacious house and we had a wonderful stay. Communication before our holiday was very helpful and Maja had prepared the house beautifully. We also had a great meal at the local pub. Thank you to everyone.
Beautiful place to stay well thought out with everything we needed and some quirky touches too. Loved the orangery dining room just fab!
A beautiful property that met all expectations
Brilliant cottage - really fabulous location. A real home from home - very relaxing. Perfect for "doggie people" and perfect for exploring the Lake District and everything it has to offer - would definitely go again.
What a fantastic review for Glen Bank. Thank you so much.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
