Myself and some friends and family stayed here for my 40th. It was a stunning location with amazing views. The cottage was a huge hit with the games room and hot tub! We all loved our stay and wished it had been longer. We will be back. 5*

We didn't want to leave! Had a fabulous long weekend with all the family in the most well-equipped place we've ever stayed, the bedroons were spacious and comfortable, the games room was occupied by us for most of the time, we were fortunate to have sunny weather so also took advantage of the many outdoor seating areas looking out over the Irish sea, towels were provided for the hot tub, colour coded to whichever bedroom you were staying in, we will definitely be back

Cottage Review:  

There was a group of 10 of us which included a baby, 5 teens and four adults so finding somewhere to cater for all of us in terms of keeping everybody happy and entertained was always going to be a challenge but Near Bank Cottage hit the nail on the head. From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the cottage. As other reviews have highlighted you are not left for wanting anything. Whether its the fully equipped games room, in which we tended to spend most of our time, or the fully equipped kitchen to feed a hoard of hungry teenagers the cottage has it all. The cottage is located down its own small track off a quiet lane so peace and tranquility is a given. The hot tub is fantastic and looks out over the surrounding countryside. There is also multiple outdoor areas for relaxing and entertaining. The bedrooms are all a really good size and we had no issues at all housing the ten of us. Probably the highlight of the stay for us had to have been the games room. It contains pool table, ping pong table, darts board, air hockey, TV, chromecast, WiFi, stack of DVDs and games/puzzles, toys, cuddly toy (yes I think there was actually a cuddly toy :) ) there is literally everything in this room you could need. The house benefits from WiFi throughout which had recently been added which as much as you would like to think you dont need it its actually a great benefit.

In terms of the location there is not a great deal to do on your doorstep but to be honest once you are in the cottage you need to find a damn good reason to leave. The beach is only a 5 minute drive away buts that's as far as we ventured.

Overall I cannot express how great Near Bank Cottage is and we will definitely be returning.

Cottage Review:  

Beautiful cottage, I'd say it was equipped but it would not do the cottage justice, it has everything and i mean EVERYTHING! Nearest decent shop is five mins away (Bootle) owners are so helpful and a pleasure to meet, i would recommend trips to Ravenglass and the local pubs. Feedback for the owners is minimal, WI-FI strength is a little weak in lounge and upstairs. Enjoy your stay! Do not forget to go the king billy grill!!!

We had a fabulous Time in the cottage celebrating a 18th,21st and 30th birthday, the games room was a hit and the hot tub was so nice and relaxing at night.

Kath and Jim thought of everything to a welcome pack of wine and biscuits and milk in the fridge all the cooking equipment you can think of.

We will definitely book this spacious cottage again thank you Jo

Cottage Review:  

I have stayed in a cottage in Cumbria before, but this was beyond expectations.

As we pulled in we was already taken away by the look, style and amazing views.

The cottage had everything we needed and on arrival we was greeted with a couple of bottles of wine and some chocolates, nice touch after a long drive. the cottage was very clean, new with modern bathrooms and kitchen.

The whole cottage felt very homely and cosy, a couple of nights we sat in the lounge area with the fire burning, again plenty of logs provided.

The beds where comfy and clean, definitely more comfy than ours at home :)

We went as a group of 9 and there was more than enough room, table was big enough for 12-14 so was nice to all sit around and have dinner.

The views from the cottage are breathtaking. our main highlights were 1st the hot tub. sitting in this in the evening under the stars, looking out towards the Irish sea was perfect.

2nd was the games room, again another great touch, we spend a few evenings in here, pool table, table tennis, darts, air hockey.

Plenty of games and DVD's for the kids to keep them busy.

I always like to add some positive criticism and areas of improvement.

We had a few light bulbs missing. in a couple of bedrooms and landing, didn't realise until it was dark.

And with technology these days the WiFi could have been better, but being in the middle of no where this may have been the best it can be but it kept cutting out

Being picky we had to do some manual DIY work on the table tennis net and the pool table may need re clothing soon.

But as mentioned we had a fantastic time, the owners where lovely. the cottage was stunning and we are already looking at dates for next year to go back.

Cottage Review:  

We went for a long weekend as a group of 9 friends and we weren't disappointed. This cottage has everything. The Hot tub and games room were great for socializing and the dining table was lovely for everyone to eat together. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and the cottage was so well equipped I can't even list everything. We took kitchen gadgets but found that everything was already there including a slow cooker. We had a brief problem with the heating system and the owner Kath came within the hour to sort it out. We felt very welcome and have already booked to go back later in the year. The cottage is near some lovely places to walk and the view from the hot tub at sunset was magical.

Just returned from a week celebrating my 50th Birthday with family (all adults). The cottage is beautiful and really exceeded my expectations. The owners have thought of everything. The games room is very large and a great place to spend time socialising. The hot tub was amazing, beautiful to relax and enjoy the view over the Irish Sea. The living area is great, very cosy for just relaxing in front of the log burning fire. The cottage has been modernised and the decor is lovely. The kitchen area is fully stocked up with everything you need to cook meals

We booked this cottage for a long weekend to celebrate my mother in law's birthday.

Having stayed in holiday cottages before it's often a chance as to whether the pictures give you a good impression of what you are getting or not.

In this case they just don't do the cottage justice. There is everything that you could possibly need. I think there was enough cutlery that even if we hadn't put the dishwasher on all weekend we still wouldn't have run out and the second fridge freezer in the games room is a fantastic idea.

10 of us booked to stay here for a long weekend in May and we all had an amazing time. Thankfully the weather was great, so we made good use of the hot tub. It was great to relax in the hot tub and admire the fantastic views.

The cottage was very clean, with a lot of extra facilities for the BBQ etc. The owners were always on hand to sort any issues we had (which was our fault as we knocked the wrong button on the hot tub!)

Kath and Jim are lovely, friendly people and we all look forward to seeing them again when we book our next weekend away!
