"Perfect for our family birthday celebration."
Every question we required answering was sorted by the owner Ian. Our family would highly recommend
-
"Absolutely ideal for family gatherings."
Couldn’t have asked for better. One or two minor “issues” which Ian immediately attended to. Would definitely come back again. Strongly recommended.
Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and the house met your expectations. Property Owner

"Property was as advertised, very comfortable and warm, excellent facilities, we made good use of games room and cinema."
Location very good just off the motorway. Yealands village within easy walking distance and The New Inn serving a good Sunday lunch Although sufficient toilets and washing facilities with only 3 rooms en-suite difficulties did arise. Also we realised showers required to be staggered due to limited hot water but not a great trial. In conclusion a very pleasant accommodation and we had wonderful weekend and have no problem recommending property
Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you had a great stay. Similar to most larger houses, the heating is a pressurised system with a large hot water tank. Apologies for not making it clearer when you arrived that the tank needs to reheat when multiple showers are taken in a short period of time. I will ensure our welcome pack is updated to reflect this information for future guests. Hopefully we can look forward to welcoming your party back to Holmere Bank. Kind Regards Ian Property Owner

"Loved our stay at Holmere, what a fabulous find."
We are a group of 10 aging from 20 - 74. The house is spacious, comfortable, warm and perfect. Each themed room beautifully decorated, all the beds comfortable with warm bedding, comfy pillows and some with a on suite/some shared bathrooms. The games room and projector rooms went down a treat for us all especially our film night with the log burner on as well. Plenty of parking, lovely views and very quiet. The only negatives it could do with better kitchen utensils to accommodate large groups and there are enough seats in the lounges for a large party to relax together apart from the dining room and it was pitch black out the back to take our dog to the lawned area. Otherwise perfect stay and didn't want to come home! We pre ordered chippy tea from arnside - they were scrummy and parked at carnforth and took the train to grange over sands. Lovely location, easy to find and the house is just amazing. The owners are a credit to it. We would definately recommend and return.
Thanks for the feedback, I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully you will return in the future when I will ensure the outside light at the rear of the property is functional. Ian Property Owner

"Great place for a gathering!"
! Cinema room on a wet day, or sat around the fire pit of an evening. A well equipped kitchen made feeding everyone a breeze. Wish we could of stayed longer!

"We had a lovely stay in Holmere Bank for 5 nights."
We were a family party of 12. The house is even more impressive in real life than in the photos. The beds were very comfortable and the huge dining table was great for accomodating us all. The cinema room and the games room were a bonus. The electric vehicle charging point was also very welcome. The owners were very helpful and communicative. The location is also excellent, as it's near the borders of both Yorkshire and Cumbria. We enjoyed easy trips out to Lancaster, White Scar Caves, Leighton Hall, Ingleton waterfall trails and a long walk from the house to Jenny Brown's Point on the coast. Overall, would thoroughly recommend it.

"It was a loverly property & we had a great time Beds were very comfortable- everything worked However small points to mention were the grill was dirty on first use."
There was a shortage of saucepans (large one). Also the scissors in the kitchen are unusable This did not stop us having a great family holiday in fantastic accommodation Thank you

"Lovely house ideal for a large family gathering."
Only real criticism is felt the kitchen was not adequately equipped to cook for 14 people.
-
"We had a wonderful stay."
The property was ideal for a large family group of mixed ages. The games room was a real hit with the teenagers. The only one point to note is the majority of the bedroom windows are unable to be opened which made it very warm of a night.
-
"We had a lovely stay, beautiful house and in a perfect location with all the amenities we needed for our break."
It is a pet friendly home and there were a few pet hairs around the house etc but didn’t impact out stay. Forgot to pack a travel iron and needed on while we were there, the property didn’t have one but we got by. The owner has assured us he’ll have one for our next stay because we’ll definitely be visiting again.

"Beautiful house, modern and well furnished."
Would come back

-

"We spent a lovely weekend in this stunning property."
The house is beautifully decorated with impassive views. The family loved the games room and most of use spent most evenings playing pool, the others retired to the cinema room. We even watched the football on the large screen. The property is in a quiet area and in easy reach of the RSPB reserve and a short drive to either the lakes or coast. Would definitely recommend.
