Barn accommodation in South Lakeland District

We are always surprised when searching then stumble across a place like Crabtree Barn. it was fantastic perfect in every way. The pictures do not do it justice. Great outdoor area, views are perfect and the area quiet.

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!

This is our 3rd year at Mary Meadows and we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in the Lakes. Well equipped, clean, comfortable, extremely quiet, and so nice of Joanne to knock on the door and make sure everything was ok! Walking distance to the newly refurbished Royal Hotel that serves great beer and food, and to Gowbarrow Fell and the spectacular Aira Force waterfalls. Everything else in the Lakes just a short drive away. Avoid the hustle and bustle and chill out in Dockray! A very friendly neighbour too, who's a bit untidy, but lovely genuine welcoming chap and full of great stories about the area. A highly recommended place to stay!

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.

we enjoyed the stay very much. A lovely cottage! Steve and Rachel were very helpful and very friendly. Thank you!!

A lovely peaceful retreat in a beautiful village. Extremely comfortable bed and excellent, clean facilities. Really appreciated the bread, milk etc - a really thoughtful touch.

I’ve just spent the most wonderful and memorable weekend with my daughter on Alice’s stunningly beautiful farm. This really is an absolute gem. The setting is like walking back in time and the cottage is just gorgeous, warm and welcoming with everything you need for a peaceful break away from it all. Perfectly located near to Ullswater and all it has to offer yet without all the hustle and bustle! Great links to the rest of the Lakes too. Alice and George made us feel so so welcome and even took the time to show my daughter all the animals on the farm. Thanks so much Alice. We can’t wait to return! X

From the very start Lorraine was very responsive and helpful. The cottage is beautiful, in a fantastic location with incredible views. We have stayed in many different places over the years but have never found such a well stocked kitchen- every dish and utensil you could possibly need. The furnishings were quality, everywhere was spotlessly clean and the icing on the cake was the games room… particularly the table tennis which provided hours of entertainment to 3 grown men every morning and evening! We will definitely be returning and hopefully the weather will be better but hey, that’s the Lakes! If you are considering booking do it, you won’t regret it.

Really enjoyed the peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings. The stables are great for time away from it all. Very well looked after. Great to have have the outdoor space too.

We had a lovely, comfortable stay, and the accommodation was clean and very well equipped. The location was great as it was approx 10 minutes' walk from the centre of Ambleside in one direction and about the same fom Lake Windermere in the other direction, and there were scenic walking routes from right outside the front door. We went by train and bus, and with a pre-arranged delivery from a local supermarket, it all worked really well.

Lynn & Reg are so friendly and make you feel so welcome at home straight away. Their little cottage is so nice, the photos don’t do it justice. Private garden for the dogs and endless places to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. The beach is literally 2 mins walk down a track and we had it to ourselves the whole time we were there. We look forward to going back and spending more time there.

Beautiful place and outstanding scenery. Hosts very responsive and friendly. Everything was perfect and greatly exceeded our expectations. Will definitely be visiting again and I highly recommend this to anyone wanting the perfect break. Our dog loved it and the enclosed garden was perfect and large.

Pamela was the most amazing host meeting us at the gate as we arrived. Beautiful surrounds, spotless accommodation with absolutely everything you could need. Keith and Pamela gave us great advice on what to do and see and even dropped us at the local pub for dinner. Amazing hosts. Such a beautiful place to stay away from the hustle and bustle. The perfect ending to our 3 week trip from Australia. Thank you so much ☺️ 🙏

We had the best stay! Lisa’s home is beautiful and cosy. We felt relaxed as soon as we stepped in. Lisa was extremely thoughtful to have left us a welcome gift for us and our dogs The dogs loved the blankets provided and the extra treats The beds were so comfortable and clean. Everything was spotless Lisa was kind enough to offer an earlier check in on the day. We climbed Scaffell pike and went to Seascale Beach. It was a perfect stay with family Would hugely recommend !!

Fantastic host, really friendly and accommodating. Very responsive to message and easy to chat with. The accommodation is clean, tidy, all modern fixtures and fittings. The beds are clean and comfortable. Super location to explore the local sites and sounds. Would highly recommend and will hopefully revisit some day.

This is a beautifully presented little cottage in an ideal position to visit the Lakes. Everything you’ll need is here and we really appreciated all the toiletries and welcome pack. There are lovely walks around and about the village too and of course the fabulous Dog and Gun pub within walking distance for a superb evening meal. Thanks to Matt for great communication leading up to our stay and a wonderful few days!

My husband and I and our two doggies had a truly unforgettable time. The home was the perfect escape. Stunning walks right on our doorstep, a 15/20 minute walk to the local coop, pubs, and cafe, wonderful views from the balcony when the sun shone, and a cosy home for when it rained. I cannot recommend this location enough and we will certainly be visiting again. The bath was great after our long walks and there was always plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well equipped. The WiFi was a little temperamental but the tv was always working and there’s 4G if you’re desperate to connect to the world (which isn’t necessary when you’re in such a beautiful area). Very helpful and friendly hosts, comfy bed, great shower (although you might struggle if you’re over 6ft2”. Great cooking appliances, the local pubs are lovely, and some villages within a 20 minute drive that are also worth the visit. Very happy customers!

Michael's place was a perfect base for our 5 days in the Lakes. The house was really well set up with a fully equipped kitchen, balcony with great views, wood burner and TV with netflix. The bed was super comfy although as others have noted there are low ceilings downstairs (where bedrooms and bathroom are) so not ideal if you're tall. I'm 6ft and I could just get away without ducking when walking around, however the shower was awkward to use and I had to contort myself to avoid bumping my head. That's a minor issue though as otherwise the place was great. The location is also very convenient for accessing lots of lovely parts of the Lakes - we didn't need to use the car for 2 of the days, spending one on Ullswater and Aire Force waterfalls, and another climbing Helvellyn, both walkable from the house.

Myself and my dogs had the nicest stay at Lynn’s place and we were so sad to leave. The place was amazing, clean, tidy and had everything we needed even extra throws for the dogs. There was also some lovely local goodies and eggs left too. Lynn gave me lots of info about places to visit in the area and was extremely responsive to any questions I had. I’d been supposed to be staying with a friend who couldn’t make it in the end and I was worried as I’d booked an activity I couldn’t take my dogs too but Lynn went above and beyond and found a safe space for them to chill whilst I went and was around to keep an eye on them for me. There are lots of gorgeous sheep, goats, chickens and ducks at the smallholding who were all so friendly and Lynn left food for me to feed them whenever I wanted which was lovely. I felt so at home there, didn’t want to leave and had the loveliest break. I cannot wait to book another trip there so I can go back and would highly recommend Lynn’s place to anyone.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Check-in was smooth, and communication with the host was easy and friendly throughout. The space had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable trip. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Hazel's & Mike's place was lovely! Booked for two nights to attend a wedding nearby. Needed somewhere for our small family to stay and this was perfect! lovely place with very well kept accommodation in a quiet location! Everything was great and more than what you could need - very nice bathroom/wet room, and fully equipped kitchen keeping the toddler fed easily! Very spacious bedroom with perfect size beds for all. Would stay here again in a heartbeat if we find ourselves in this part of the world again!

The barn was clean, warm and had everything we needed. Great location for day trips to Keswick, Ambleside, Ullswater etc! We had a lovely time and will definitely come back! Thank you :)

We had a fantastic week in the Lakes staying at the bothy. John and Julia are warm, friendly and thoughtful hosts and the space was perfect (and more spacious than the photos suggest). The bothy was well appointed with everything we needed and the beautiful cottage garden was an added bonus - secure for our dog and a peaceful haven to enjoy the morning/evening sunshine. Highly recommend

Beautiful place and well appointed and to a very good standard. It’s located very close to charming town of Longridge. We went to Stydd Gardens which was just 15 mins away and stunning. Very much recommended. Thank you
