Everyone in our party of 15 loved Esk View - it's a big, characterful house with all the necessary group facilities that manages to keep cosy through the blowy winter chills . The location is terrific for walks and fortuitously close to some of the best pubs on planet Earth

Great location and good house for extended family holiday. It feels quite tired and a bit shabby, and we felt with a really good deep clean, some replacement furniture and a bit of extra lighting in strategic areas it would be a five star rather than 4 star property.

The house was large, comfortable and warm, very well equipped, with plenty of different sitting spaces and a huge table to sit round. It was very suitable for a large extended family get together. There are a number of walks straight from the house and plenty of room to park.

The property is comfy, cosy and very well equipped. 14 of us stayed over the Christmas week and we had a great time- seeing the local area and playing lots of games! The Boot Inn is well worth a visit, as is the Mill. Plus a trip on the train to Ravenglass is a nice day out too.

This house, although having eight bedrooms, does not have grand reception or dining rooms where you can gather, eat and socialise as a large group. Also, the kitchen is small - no bigger than an average family kitchen. So, no trendy hanging round the farmhouse table having glasses of wine.
