To think this must be a misprint? Nearly £7k for a week in the Lake District??

Yeah, it looks lovely. I can see it's been newly refurbished and it seems like a nice place to stay but I can't for the life of me work out why it's that expensive. It sleeps a whole 8 people. Am I missing something?

Horrifically overpriced. Anyone who denies that is taking the piss. 'Oh it's only £1000 per person.' LMFAO! Like £1000 a person for a week in the Lake District is REASONABLE!

We booked 2 Travelodge rooms for 4 of us for this coming week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,) and paid £225 in total. 3 nights... 2 rooms... £225!

We will have 3 nights/4 days in the Lake District, for £225.

£7,000 for a week coz it's a cabin/house on its own is farcical!

To be fair you will be on the edge of the Lake District rather than IN it, in any of the Travelodges.

But you got a good deal anyway. Have a great time.

Terrible value for money.

Maybe spend a night in Felixstowe instead? £2359! To be fair it does look nice, but you’d need a second mortgage for a week there - in April.

😮I'm sure Felixtowe's great and all but still...I'm confused that people actually pay these amounts. Even £3600 for the Lake District one is far too much. You can get equivalents for much cheaper.
