Myself and 5 others stayed at boavista cottage carnforth for 3 nights over the last weekend. We all loved our stay and the cottage is just lovely! Very modern with every appliance, facility, utensil etc you could need for staying away, more than what I have in my own home! The view over jackdraw quarry is amaze and seeing the divers every day is interesting to watch. The cottage was clean, only issue with that is there was a very bad pong coming from the first toilet which didn't go until the sat evening. The cottage is very spacious for 6 people and a dog. The enclosed garden area to the side of the cottage was great for my dog to run and do her business. The hot tub was a great bonus however its not the hottest tub I've been in but we enjoyed it nethertheless. We enjoyed having a good drink the first night with the great sound system and open plan arrangements and hot tub, and 2 chilled nights with the lovely fire place, massive TV and toasty heating system. Issue with wasps that can't be helped but thought i would mention. With it being around a quarry and water there was loads of wasps on the balconies which was irritating when we wanted to eat or chill on the balcony and leave the big doors open throughout the day but didn't bother us to an extreme extent. Also there isn't a path on the road when leaving the cottages making it difficult to go for walks as the road is small and cars flying around so we needed to drive everywhere to be safe. Other than that we all absolutely loved our stay and I didn't want to leave. That's my ideal home haha !! Do not hesitate to book. I mean £185 each was abit expensive like but once your there you kind of forget about that!

What a gorgeous place! As soon as you walk in, you are met by this gorgeous view of the quarry. The lodge is modern with soft coloured decor which adds to the peaceful feel of the place. Mornings waking up to the view and the sounds of nature were bliss! Sitting on the balcony with a coffee in the morning then catching the sun out front in the evenings. The lodge is comfy with under floor heating and the two showers and bath are hot and powerful! In the evenings we spent most of our time on the lower balcony in the brilliant hot tub - a real treat! The lodge has everything you could possibly need for your stay. It's about a 30-40 minute car journey to the Lakes and a 45 minute walk down the canal to a lovely pub. If you are in need of a tranquil getaway near the Lakes, this is the place to go! Thank you for a brilliant holiday!

This holiday cottage was an absolute gem of a discovery.. It was in such a peaceful location with the most spectacular view. It had everything you could possibly want / need. It also had a decent sized enclosed garden to let your dog run free which was brilliant. A lovely welcome gift was there waiting for us which was a thoughtful and much appreciated thought. Fantastic communication with the owner prior to the stay and also afterwards. We wanted a relaxing week and that's what we got from Boavista. We will definitely return in the future.

What a wonderful place, firstly being greeted by a small looking place which once inside is huge with possibly one of the best view ever.. The peace and quiet in a semi rural location is heavenly but also a short drive to pubs, shops and the sea. The whole experience was amazing, almost everything is provided from the kitchen to the bathroom and the extras such as board games, PS4 and all the handy leaflets with local attractions and area to visit was a welcome surprise. The whole place was amazing, waking up and seeing the beautiful blue water in the quarry and watching people diving and swimming! To relaxing under the stars in the hot tub, it has everything you could wish for. The whole site is peaceful and allows you to unwind and relax in a glorious setting with the added bonus of allowing you to take the dog to join in the relaxation on the balcony. The fact it fit our needs perfectly was joyous due to requiring dog friendly accommodation but also disabled accessible facilities and jackdaw quarry definitely delivered in all areas, I would how ever have liked a vac and extra tea towels for the kitchen but other than that the whole experience was lovely and will definitely be returning. I’m keen to see all the other properties too and see how the view changes from the different angles of the quarry. Anyone debating booking this place should definitely do it as it’s a gorgeous place for all size parties and a great place to relax and appreciate your surroundings in a comfortable and amazing home that provides everything you could wish for and exceeds expectations.

The place was fabulous, there were a few things that need to be addressed like a fuse blew in the first 15 minutes of being there when we switched on the outside light and it was very difficult to find the fuse box, we couldn't find any instructions as to where it was.. The 4 of us found it in the end but I think for people more elderly it may have been difficult. Also there was a lot of hair in the beds, I am sure they had been washed but I think maybe they need to be shaken before they are put in the washing machine so the hair is no longer there. Also there was no colander. Overall a great place though, lovely views, well equipped and done up to a very high standard. We will be going back again.

Great facilities at the boavista.. Everything you need for a nice relaxing break, made even better by the owners letting us know about local event's so we could maximise our experience staying there

Beautiful accomodation at a beautiful location.. Had a really nice time, everything you need was there. The view from the cottage was stunning, even though we visited during a cold time of year, just going out to the balcony in the morning with a cup of coffee and relaxing is the best way to start the day. We went 6 people and it was a really nice experience. Would definitely be back again.

Had an amazing week at Boa Vista.. ...views are spectacular, whatever the weather. Beautiful accommodation, quality throughout. Gorgeous bathrooms and such comfy beds. Lovely owners, nothing too much trouble. Lots of info at the house on places to visit. We cooked at home every night and I really enjoyed the kitchen, my parents joined us for two nights and we had lovely meals around the table, drinking and talking....was such a relaxing holiday for us to get away from it all. If you need to just chill and potter with your pooch, this is the place to go. Thanks Andy and Elaine for everything. Rick, Sare and The Boys. X X
