Welcome to Thornyfield

About Us

Family run boutique holiday homes

Four beautifully bespoke holiday homes catering for every size and shape of family gathering. We inherited Thornyfield Holiday Cottage when our own young family moved into the adjoining farm house in 2015. Since then we have converted the 18th century barn into a 5 star family getaway. Purpose built a woodcutters lodge for a more intimate family or couple’s escape and upgraded the Grade II cottage with everything from a hot tub to on demand TV. We've also repurposed our original Lake District home to offer the same standards on a budget.

Purpose built experiences

Each of our holiday homes has been developed to offer something a little bit different but all to the same high standard and all with a personal touch. Catering for family holidays from two to twenty, we are on hand to make your experience exceptional.

Occasions to remember

This website was developed at the request of our customers who want to return and have the flexibility of cottages to rent directly, and to invite family and friends to join them in escaping to the lakes. We hope you will find the holiday homes you’re looking for in these pages but if you need any help just let us know.

Eoin & Sarah.
