Dobbin the horse box in The Lake District

The location is great with lovely countryside views. The property and surrounding gardens are beautiful. The horsebox itself is rather compact but practically laid out and well equipped with all you need. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. The place and surrounding gardens were great for our two little kids as well.

Could have been a touch cleaner, there were a few cobwebs and dead insects here and there.

The owners of the horse box are absolutely lovely and couldn't do enough. The horse box itself was a brilliant and quirky place to stay and so peaceful. The 2 double bunks were very comfy and we all slept great. I was worried the bathroom would be too small but it is designed perfectly with a good shower. Our favourite part of the whole stay was just how welcome children are there. I went with my friend and 5 children in total and they had the best time. We didn't have to worry about them disturbing anyone else and there was so much for them to do outdoors.

Nothing at all! We loved our stay.

A fantastic place. Beautiful, quiet, and far from crowds. The hostess is wonderful, warm, and helpful. Fresh milk in the fridge, straight from the cow, delicious. Beautiful views and lakes nearby. I will definitely return with my family. I highly recommend it.

The idea of it was exciting,something different & quirky. The views were amazing. The hammock to enjoy the rolling country side & kids toys outside were a great addition.

The pictures on here were clearly from when it was 1st converted as we were met with something quite different & a host that didn’t give us her name,just quickly showed us round and off,didn’t see them again.It desperately needs a good lick of paint,repairs & a bloody good deep clean. Sheer laziness to be honest & for £277 for 2 nights not worth it at all, was a let down. Everything just old & tired & needing attention. The shower stunk, and I took food so me & my kids didn’t have to leave site but were met with a dodgy halogen oven that didn’t stay on, text the owner who was on there way to Hull & that was the end of that help, she did send me a pic yesterday when I was at home trying to prove it worked but it didn’t, I tried for an hour and have used a halogen oven before, it was faulty and left us with no cooking device accept 2 hobs. This is just a cash taker for them they’ve clearly lost interest in it. Disappointing for myself & kids

this was a good quirky way to stay. both of my girls are horse obsessed so what better surprise other than a fee night stay here

this unusual style of property but so homely

Dobbin is in a beautiful, quiet location and is absolutely delightful. Bigger than what I expected but, is a horsebox so compact and cosy. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought into making this a comfortable and unique experience and it certainly didn't disappoint. A short drive to so many beautiful local attractions that it was a very convenient place to stay. We had the pleasure of meeting both of the owners and they were very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Pets also very welcome so it was perfect for us. We had a lovely stay.

Very quirky and peaceful setting

Nice and quirky ideal for a couple of nights away

It was a shame it was located in the shady parts of the garden, not a huge issue as we could move around.
