"This is our 5th visit to Rawfell & as always we have had a fab time! Have had some great weather allowing us to have a few BBQs in the evenings & have enjoyed sitting in the garden taking in the spectacular views. Looking forward to returning at Christmas."
"A wonderfully relaxing holiday in a fantastic location. Rawfell is very comfortable & well-equipped. Thanks for a great holiday."
"Our second stay at Rawfell. This house is in a lovely setting, is comfortable & meets all our needs. Low cloud on Helvellyn & Great Gable meant we saw nothing when we reached the tops but were rewarded when we did a lovely climb up Pike o'Blisco & over the ridge to Crinkle Crags! We appreciated the Langdale Leisure Club for gym & swimming & went cycling in Grizedale Forest. Hope to be back soon."
