Family-friendly holiday rentals in Barrow-in-Furness District

Beautiful views, friendly staff and everything in Yurt. Will helped us out

We stayed here for my sons 12th birthday for 2 nights end of May 2025. The house itself was beautiful, tastefully decorated and felt fresh and clean. The beds were all very comfortable with good bedding. The Hosts were very friendly and we felt the check in was easy and hassle free. The games room, sauna and hot tub were great additions and again well looked after and clean. We would definayely book here again.

The location was amazing and the views were spectacular. This home was exactly what it said on the tin. We were all blown away by it and had beautiful weather to make the most of the outdoor area. The only thing we did notice was that there wasn’t enough wine glasses & champagne flutes. Not ideal when there was 8 women so we had to use half pint glasses. We could have also done with more dishwasher tablets to last the stay. Apart from that it was perfect. Thank you.

We had a great time at Canny Brow Barn. Everything you could possible think of or need for your stay, Ian and Anne-Marie had thought about, from a cocktail shaker to cleaning products to games. Would highly recommend!

We had a really good stay! The place was clean, well-maintained, and had all the facilities we needed for a comfortable visit. The views were absolutely amazing — a real highlight of the trip. The hosts were very helpful and responsive whenever we needed anything, which made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!

Cosy cottage with access to private beach on Windermere Fabulous hot tub, thoughtful touches everywhere - towels and sliders for the hot tub/lake, welcome hamper with lots of goodies, lovely wood burning stove Sauna and table tennis and marble run through the wood available - we didn’t have time to use everything - thanks for a lovely stay

We had a great stay. The house was in a beautiful location, right on the estuary. Plenty of beach for walking. Beds were comfy and ample linen and towels were provided plus a great welcome hamper. The games room provided hours of entertainment and the hot tub was lovely for relaxing in after a busy day. The nearby rock park/quarry was a really interesting day out. We also enjoyed a meal out at the King William IV in Kirksanton. Jenny was a great host and was extremely welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Very convenient for our needs. The place does exactly what it says on the tin. David makes check in and stay very easy, great communication.

Absolutely stunning location!! The best in the entire Lake District! The Buttery is beautifully laid out and decorated, with possibly the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen in an airbnb. The knives are sharp, there's good quality cookware and even a dishwasher! The bed is super comfortable, and the bath is lovely and deep, and the freezer compartment in the fridge actually keeps things frozen! The livingroom/diningroom area is lovely, super comfortable sofa and a fold out diningtable. We ate outside most of the time, but this was much appreciated for when the midges descended! All the info you could possibly need is provided in the welcome folder, and Jella lives right next door and is always happy to help out with anything. The stunning Devoke Water is only a 15 minute walk away, and you can easily climb the seat (big hill) next to it for amazing sunsets. I could see the Isle of Man from up there! I couldn't recommend this place enough! We're already planning the next trip!

I can’t recommend Will and Giles’ place enough. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. The information sent prior to arrival was brilliant, the cottage was much bigger than we expected and it’s in an amazing location right by Coniston. The place was spotless and had some lovely touches. We will be back!

The cottage was beautifully located and the views were peaceful with the grazing sheep and cows. We found the small grocery store that was a 10 minute drive very convenient. Also, Lancaster was a little further and had anything you might need. Windermere was about an hour's drive from the cottage.

We had a wonderful stay at Morven's. The cottage itself was beautiful and contained everything that we needed. The sauna was a unique addition! Everything had been considered and the small touches, such as the fresh herbs and the treats for the dogs really made us feel at home. Our hosts were quick to respond to a phone call and incredibly attentive to our needs. The village of Staveley is a hidden gem and we made good use of the Eagle & Child pub and the outrageously good bakery, More. I would highly recommend this stay and hope that we can return ourselves!

My husband, daughter, puppy & I have just stayed here for a long weekend. Nick the host was very helpful & Informative. The cottage was perfect for us, spacious, warm & comfortable. All the additional supplies like toilet rolls etc were an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the local amenities. There are plenty of walks and scenery to visit in the area, shame the weather let us down a bit but we made the most of it anyway. We visited the local pub The Malt Shovel and well worth going, the food was delicious and home cooked, lovely family community.

Zoe was great in communicating and the property is indeed a rare find. The garden was unique and our Labrador loved it.

The house and grounds are really lovely and beautiful. Felt right at home when we turned up. Ann and Tony were very kind and responded quickly, when we messaged them. They were very happy to stop and have a chat. The views were picturesque. It was lovely having the sheep and lambs in the next field. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend this place to anyone visiting in this area.

Beautiful setting, quirky interior, lots of lovely little touches. Really clean. Great base for exploring

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

We had a lovely stay with Debbie and Clive. Lovely responsive hosts with an incredibly clean, relaxing place to stay. Thank you so much for everything!!

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!

what a great air b&b . clean and tidy . we had an issue which was our right within hours. everything was explained in the texts we sent and received . can't rave to much about van, sie ,area and host. what a sea view.

We stayed at this property as a group of 14 friends on a hiking weekend in the Lake District. Put simply, this is property is incredible! Martin has thought of everything a large group of people could need. The facilities are fantastic, from the hot-tub, to the fully kitted out games room, to the hammocks and swings, fire-pit, outdoor eating areas, speaker systems throughout the house. Everyone who stayed was blown away with the property and we made memories that we will never forget. Thank-you so much to the host for allowing us to stay.
