Guest Reviews

Discover what our guests say about their stay at Primrose Bank.

"We booked a weekend away as a birthday treat and decided to stay somewhere close to the lakes but more peaceful. On arrival the hosts were really welcoming and showed us round. The barn is beautifully done and has a few little extras including a dog bed! We spent the weekend exploring all the local walks, our dog loved the beach which wasn't far from the accommodation. We also enjoyed some archery and clay pigeon shooting. Such a lovely place and great activities near by. We will definitely be returning. Thank you!"

"The beds are sumptuous, the cottage is spacious, the kitchen is thoughtfully equipped, you can bathe or shower in luxurious bathrooms after a day's activity, and Tom and Michelle are super friendly, welcoming hosts. There was plenty of room for everyone in our party, and the dog. Would 100% stay again, so much to discover in this area."
