"We love Abby Farm house!"

We love Abby Farm house! 16 of us stayed between Christmas and Newyear, when we arrived it was even better than we thought and the pictures do not do it justice.
The house was really clean, plenty of toilet roll and extra wood for the fire and they had even left us a little hamper of food and drinks! We feel after spending a long time looking for a property with lots of requirements, that Abby farm met them all and was reasonably priced compared to other houses around the country.
Whilst we were there the weather was really bad, but with amount of things to do at Abby Farm, none of the 16 of us, including 5 children, we're bored! We spent the whole 3 days playing pool, darts, ps4 and chilling in the hot tub! Communication was great too between us and the owners, loved hearing about the houses history and hope when we come back there's more to hear!
We have asked for a price to stay again next year!

"Room always clean and bed is…"

Room always clean and bed is comfortable. But the shower sliding door needs looking into as it was sliding out and nearly falling and I had to keep putting it back to stay in. Overally I will be staying again at Tivoli.
Thank you

"I could still smell the cooking of the…"

I could still smell the cooking of the person who left before us. The entrance was really unkempt, customer service responds on time, that’s what the three star is for

"Great stay at Abbey House"

Our family group of 15 had a lovely weekend stay at Abbey House recently for my Mum in Law's 80th Birthday. The communication from UK-Breaks was great leading up to and after our visit when a forgotten pair of shoes was found and promptly posted back to their owner. We requested a late check out on the Sunday which was granted at a very reasonable cost; that extra couple of hours to allow a relaxed breakfast, tidy up and wee walk round beautiful St Bees was really worth it. There was a lovely welcome basket on arrival containing wine and chocolates. The accommodation and extensive range of entertainment facilities provided something for everyone of our wide range of ages. The pool table and hot tub were particular hits. If you are looking for a fabulous house in a super location, oozing history and character for a comfortable, relaxing and fun weekend for your group then Abbey House delivers great value for its plentiful facilities.

"It is a beautiful,clean and comfortable…"

It is a beautiful,clean and comfortable apartment which is close to restaurants and beach.

"Great student like accommodation "

Great accommodation, if you need a room and cooking facilities.

It is a shared student like type of accommodation, so can be a bit measy sometimes.

Owner not staying. Common areas cleaned weekly , except kitchen- responsibility of the tenants !

We stayed 3 weeks, any issues we had with the room was quickly resolved by manager.

"Beautiful House"

We were booked to stay in a property in Keswick. Renovation work was taking place and was not complete by the time of our stay, so we were offered another property in Whitehaven. This house has itself undergone some sympathetic renovation work, including the use of traditional wallpaper designs which reflect a sense of history, luxury and style.

We were greeted by a hamper of wine, chocolates and water which was a nice touch. All rooms are spacious and comfortable, with crisp, white bed linen and ample cushions and throws. However, there are not many clothes hangers in the wardrobes which is easily rectified. There are several chaise longue placed around the house which are in keeping with the age of the property. The staircases also evoke a sense of grandeur, as do the window shutters.

The kitchen is well-stocked with cutlery, crockery, glassware, cookware, utensils and appliances. However, lighting is poor - 4 dim bulbs above the table and nothing else. It would benefit from under-cupboard lighting and a brighter main light.

There are soft toys, games, books and magazines made available for use. There are also mobile stair gates which were useful for keeping our little ones safe. One aspect of safety has been overlooked and is easily rectified - the log burner in the sitting room does not have a fire guard. This prevented us from lighting the fire, for fear of our little ones being burnt.

There were plenty of toilet rolls, tissues, cleaning materials, dishwasher tablets and washing pods. The utility room housed a washing machine, a tumble dryer and a larger fridge freezer, along with mops, brushes and vacuum cleaners. The stair gates and travel cot are kept in there, too. The room leads to an outdoor hot tub and patio area which is not overlooked. You can dry off in the utility room before reentering the house which prevents a trail of water going everywhere.

Parking is a big issue. There are two dedicated garages but these were rendered useless because cars parked across them during our stay. The roads to the front and side of the house are narrow which makes turning very tight, There is an enclosed area across from the front of the house which is part of the property. Perhaps that could be converted into a dedicated parking area?

All in all this is a beautiful house and is great if you have a large number in your party. However, Whitehaven is rather a run down place with a town centre in need of regeneration. Having said that, The Beacon Museum is a great place to visit and it has a coffee shop with cakes to die for!

The house is not too far from The Lake District, though, so is a good base if you are prepared to drive to places.
