Hidden gem

We got together as a group of friends as we sometimes do every 6 months or so. The property was absolutely fantastic, with spacious, relaxing rooms, and a fantastic party room complete with pool table. Stand out highlight was the sauna, and dipping in the lake afterwards. A very friendly, welcoming place to stay with friends.

Magical

What a wonderful wonderful place. So much to do for a family of all ages, including grandparents. An original, quirky, reminiscent of the Famous Five books, style property. Rustic and charming, eccentric and close to nature. I’m not sure another property exists like it, anywhere. It’s own lake, a fire pit, games to play, trampoline, badminton, log fires, pool table and so much more. We’ll definitely be returning. A new family favourite. Thank you to the host ❤️

Lovely place

Lovely house and Kenneth was very accommodating. Overall, we all really enjoyed our stay. The water pressure wasn't the best but Kenneth informed us of the issue. There is absolutely no signal for our phones but the wifi qas great.

Weekend retreat with friends

Such a wonderful place for our friends annual getaway together. It was more than a usual large house as the grounds and extra facilities were so special. Plenty of room for 5 couples. Relaxing walks in the grounds, padddleboarding, canoeing on the lake, relaxing in the sauna - all so therapeutic! Fascinating to stay in such an eco friendly, comfortable and interesting home!

Everything we wanted

We stayed as a party of 11, 7 adults and 4 children (age 1,7,8 and 9) as an opportunity for us all to be together for the first Anniversary of our Mams sad passing. I had told the property owner this when we booked and he made a point of coming to talk to us and mentioned it to us and made us all feel he had really took time to read our message when we booked. He made a point of showing us his own Mother's memorial garden. The whole place was beautiful, the Snowdrop flowers everywhere, the stone garden, the giant trampoline, the games room, the lake, the sauna.... I could go on.... We are already looking into rebooking for the summer, absolutely incredible place. Thank you Ken, you made what was potentially a sad weekend for us all very special and right for our Mam. Take care we'll see you again soon!

Superb Property

We as a family of 12 (grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren & a great grandchild) absolutely loved our weekend break here. The house and grounds have something for everyone & space for us all too. The bedrooms are spacious. Althing with the house & the games room was a big plus. We swam in the lake, canoed, used the sauna & strolled round the lake - it was perfect! As a plus the Flapjacks that Kenneth left were delightful! We cannot recommend this property enough & Kenneth was an extremely helpful host. We would love to visit again.

A beautiful house set in beautiful surroundings

This is such an idyllic place- set in its own grounds with a lake too! Kenneth was a perfect host, available to trouble shoot if necessary. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked with all the necessary equipment needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ravenbridge Mill for a family/friends holiday.

An unforgettable trip - incredible place and lovely host

We have recently returned from a magical and unforgettable weekend at Ravenbridge Mill where we celebrated my husband's 40th with family. The house and grounds are beautiful and full of character and Kenneth was a very welcome host (the homemade flapjacks on the table were delicious!). Communication was excellent from the time we booked, through checking in and checking out. As he was close by, it was reassuring that he was on hand for anything that we may have needed over the weekend. The house itself was spacious, cosy and well stocked. We had two babies/toddlers with us and Kenneth even ordered a cot and high chair for us specially. The grounds were incredible with a lake (and canoes!), apple trees (which made for a delicious apple crumble), river and woodland to explore. It was a calm and serene setting and we all left feeling relaxed and refreshed. We will definitely be going back soon and would highly recommend to others!

Wonderful house in amazing setting.

Property was very clean. It had everything you could need whilst away for a week, including a very good washing machine and drier. The grounds were amazing and the children particularly enjoyed the lake and the badminton. Kenneth was very pleasant and helpful when needed. Also enjoyed the cello playing!

A week in Ravenbridge

6 adults, 4 children and 1 dog have had a lovely week staying at Ravenbridge. The property was plenty big enough for all of us and more. The grounds are amazing and include a lake, garden area, a wood and a river. We all enjoyed our stay and are hoping to stop again in the future.

A wonderful Tranquil Experience

This was a wonderful tranquil place, and we all left there with lovely memories. Everyones favourite was the lake, to swim in natural water was exhilarating and then to go into the sauna afterwards was just fantastic. The canoe was a favourite with the children, they also loved, the woods, the dens the space,it was a great place for them to play and use their imaginations. Kenneth was an excellent host, was always available if we needed anything. If you love the outdoors, peace and quiet then this has to be one of the best places to stay.

Celebrating our Golden Wedding

We were a group of family and friends celebrating our anniversary at Ravenbridge Mill. Sarah and Kenneth made us most welcome even allowing us to invite extra guests for our party. The Mill was ideal as we could use all the facilities on their site including canoeing on the lake. The children had a great time exploring the site with lots of hide and seek, trampolining, table tennis, pool, and even dressing up from the supply in the games room. Sarah did invite us to join her for a morning swim in the lake but when she told us the water temperature everyone seemed to have another task to attend to! Many thanks for helping to make our anniversary so memorable. Tony & Angela

Delightful and relaxing holiday

We had a wonderful week at Ravenbridge Mill. The house is spacious and works well, but with character. There is nothing extra you could want for, something to keep people entertained all day, you could spend all week there and not need to go anywhere else. It is the owners home and they really do want to share their home, garden and grounds with you.

The most magical retreat in an amazing house

This haven surpassed all expectations! The hospitality and generosity of the hosts to think of so much made this holiday so outstanding and special in so many ways for everyone from very young to us oldies. The house and garden is beautiful and has everything ..lots if space, activities, like glass painting, a games room, beautiful lake and boats with fabulous sauna all organised with safety in mind. As a family it was the most amazing holiday in the most beautiful setting.

fantastic place in a great location lots to do inside and outside

After struggling to find a place in the area that would take 6 adults and 6 children we found Ravenbridge Mill and I'm so glad we did. Set in beautiful woodland with wildlife and fresh produce aplenty. The games room and lake provided hours of on site entertainment and we didn't feel the need to leave for the first 3 days and only then to stock up on supplies in nearby Lazonby. Sarah and Ken were on hand to help out as and when we needed them too and nothing was too much effort or too much trouble.We really felt they just wanted us to have a good time and that's what we most certainly did. Every effort has been made to make it a great place to stay from the delicious home made victoria sponge down to the endless books, DVDs, games and craft supplies. All six children loved the trampoline and treated the chickens as their own pets, following them around and collecting eggs. This was the perfect place for a very special holiday and we can't wait to come back.

Excellent Ravenbridge

We were a party of 9 (4 adults and 5 children) and there was plenty of room for all. Inside the house the children were amused by the large number of toys and the 2 electric pianos. The adults enjoyed the very comfortable kitchen and living room. Outside, the chickens, boating lake, frog pond, trampoline, gypsy caravan, campfire etc provided endless fun for all. And if that was not enough (!) there was a well equipped games room. Our land lord and lady were very kind and helpful. The countryside around is very beautiful and we enjoyed a great walk from the house to the pub in Kirkoswald. The chickens were happy to give us many free and delicious eggs.
