The decision to invest in a holiday let was never really on my radar… until one place ticked all the right boxes.

Three years ago, as I approached Whitbarrow Holiday Village near Keswick,Cumbria for the first time, I was struck by the peaceful setting — and then wowed by the leisure facilities. I could already picture myself unwinding in the whirlpool bath after a slow, lazy swim.

But it was when I stepped into the self-contained suite that something shifted.

A quiet voice inside just said… YES.

Why?

Because of the feel.

Over the months that followed — the usual ups and downs of the buying process — I kept imagining how I’d bring it to life. I wanted to give it the TLC it deserved.

I probably overbought cushions (!), added thoughtful touches, and paid attention to the little details that make a space feel like a retreat.

It’s been a journey — and one I’ve loved....and I continue to tweak things to maintain the appeal.

If you’ve stayed before, I hope some of that feeling came across — and thank you for being part of the journey so far. 💛

And if you're still to visit — I hope it gives you that same resounding “YES” when you walk through the door.

If you are ready for a relaxing break, just pop me a DM for my 'valued guest' special rates.

Well worth a visit when you go to Keswick. Just a short lovely walk from the town centre.
