We had a fantastic week in the barn. It is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. The location is great - out of the way but convenient for Kendal if you need to shop and a 25-30 minute drive to Windermere and onward to other lakes. Fran was extremely helpful and communication was excellent before, during and at the end of our stay. We fully intend to return as it such a lovely property and a perfect base for exploring the lakes and the dales.

Stay at the Barn

This was our third stay at this gorgeous cottage. We loved how close in proximity it is to all the main attractions but also how quiet it is. The cottage is cosy and the fire was lovely for colder days. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Excellent stay in Kendal

We've loved the location of this accommodation. It was perfect for a stay in the Lake District. Fran's communication was quick and she made sure everything was sorted for our arrival. We've had a lovely weekend and will keep this place in mind for a future trip to Kendal.

Just what the Doctor ordered

We were looking for a quiet location near the lakes but not crowded with tourist. Wanted to see birds, flowers, and go at our own pace. Truly felt rested and rejuvenated after our stay.

Lovely quiet place

Situated in beautiful countryside which presents ample opportunities for interesting walks and within easy driving distance of the attractions of the Lakes District. The "Barn" is beautifully kept and full of little personal touches. We loved it.

The Barn hideaway

Everything was perfect! Met by the owner who explained all we needed to know about the cottage. Maps provided for walks in the area and we could hike straight from the door to the amazing Cumbrian countryside. Idyllic is the word for this lovely cosy home.

Lovely cottage in beautiful place

“The Barn” was perfect! Very simply and nicely decorated, comfortable, well equipped and convenient to all in the Lakes. Nice walks from house. Owner was very responsive and took great care that all Was Good for us. We really enjoyed the gas fireplace in the evening which produced quite a bit of heat.

Perfect Hideaway

Beautiful barn in stunning rural location, but well-placed for exploring the Lake District by car. Thoughtful touches all around the place and a lovely garden to relax in after a day of activity. Fran has thought of everything you might need and checked to see if we were OK during our stay, sending us suggestions for what to see in the area. We would love to return!

Gorgeous cottage in the heart of the Lakes

Beautiful and perfectly equipped cottage with access to stunning Lakeland walks (and bike rides) right from the doorstep. Close to Kendal for picking up provisions, but far enough away to feel 'away from it all'. Fran is a very thoughtful and responsive host. Would definitely recommend!

The Barn is cosy, welcoming and extremely comfortable.

I had a perfect stay here. The Barn is extremely comfortable and well equipped. It was lovely to sit by the fire in the evenings and enjoy a glass of wine. Having Netflix was a real bonus too. The location was perfect for exploring the beautiful countryside. It can’t be faulted. I will be back and will reccommend this to friends and family.

Beautiful tranquil retreat

I cannot rate Fran's barn highly enough. Not only is she is an extremely thoughtful host but the barn is just so beautiful and very cosy. The location is just close enough to Kendal to be convenient but far away enough to feel tranquil and relaxing. Everything is there to make you feel comfortable and the fire was a particular favourite of mine (even in June!). We will be coming back as soon as we can and recommending her to all our friends!

Beautiful hidden gem

The barn is beautiful, gorgeous, cute and so relaxing. Fran has thought of absolutely everything, from a folder with all the information for the property and the whole of the lake district to cozy blankets. Beautiful bedroom and cute ornaments all in keeping with the cottage. The barn is small but perfect. Thankyou for a lovely weekend
