Barn vacation rentals in Cumbria

Such a lovely place, had a nice girly weekend for my hen do with my bridesmaids and maid of honour and the hosts were really sweet. They were happy to co-ordinate with my maid of honour so the whole thing was a really nice surprise and it was overall really private and peaceful with such stunning views. Would highly recommend and think we will definitely be booking again 🤍

Karen was very helpful and her instructions were clear. It was beautiful, quiet and undisturbed setting was a peaceful escape.

Could not fault The Hemmel at all. Absolutely beautiful. The accommodation, surroundings and view was exceptional. Ezra our labradoodle loved the enclosed garden. From the greeting off Kate, the beautiful homemade cake and flowers left for us, watching the red squirrel and the beautiful Northumbrian countryside and beaches, there was nothing we did not like about our stay. If we decide to come back to this neck of the woods, this would be our first pick. Five stars and beyond.

Beautiful cottage in the Lake District countryside. Loved sitting out on the patio in the evenings watching the sheep and taking in the peaceful setting. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked for cooking supplies and the bed was very comfy. Close to so many beautiful spots in the Lakes. We had a great stay, thanks!

What a wonderful place .. I cannot fault it at all .. all the facilities you need including comfy beds and powerful showers .. so restful and peaceful yet in easy reach of so many places .. thats if you want to venture out .. also just a lovely place to spend time in and relax .. with Allendale Town a short walk away which is simply charming! It was lovely to meet Richard on arriving and to get a look around at the ‘small plot big ideas’ and meet the all animals especially dogs Darcy and Jess! Our time was over all too quickly but O would return in a heart beat!♥️

A beautiful place to stay, so peaceful and had everything we needed. The place was very well equipped and was spotless. Steve was a great host and the directions he gave us prior to coming helped us locate him. Would definitely recommend and would visit here again.

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.

The cottage was the perfect place for our weekend away! The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped, and the garden was very spacious! We loved watching the neighbouring sheep in the sun room, and the hot tub was the perfect place to watch the pheasants and squirrels which visited the garden. The cottage was about an hours drive to the lakes, and the host was super friendly and recommended some lovely local walks and things to do in the village! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

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.

Quite rural but only 8 mins off the main road - makes you feel you’re in a very special quiet place! Great little cottage, cozy and comfy and clean, and nicely decorated. Hot tub with great view is a fab addition. Would recommend.

A fantastic getaway very near to the M6. So cosy and homely. Lovely touches like fresh eggs and milk for breakfast. Very nicely decorated with Lake District themed art, beautiful countryside setting and views and friendly host.

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.

We chose to stay here due to its location for walking and exploring the mountains, especially Scafell Pike. The hot tub was a must as we have enjoyed the use of one every year we've been away. The cottage is stunning and the views are beautiful. Everything you need is in the cottage and the standard furnishing is high. Lisa was accommodating as we had 3 hounds. During our holiday we had a problem with the hot tub and Lisa was really helpful, responsive and advised us what to do. We would definitely come back and recommend the footage to friends and family.

Perfect stay from start to end. It rained when we stayed but that didn’t matter as we spent time in the hot tub under the shelter and the barn was really cosy. Very clean and felt like home. I can’t wait to come back :)

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!

Stunning location and cottage. Sunshine for our three day stay, the walk's and views are stunning. We would definitely recommend a stay at Duddon View cottage, perfectly situated for soul calming walks in the surrounding fells, better than any medicine. Well done with the renovation guy's, a thoughrouly recommend stay. Regards, Tony, Glenda, Carl & Maureen.

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.

Just got back from an amazing stay. The hostess Claire was very attentive, the accommodation was exactly how it was described, very tidy and had all the facilities. Would definitely recommend to friends and family

We spent two lovely nights in the butterfly cottage. Bruce and Anita were gracious and helpful hosts, providing information and suggestions about what to do and where to go. Walks from the cottage were abundant when weather permitted. Treats left by Anita were appreciated and devoured! Cottage was clean, warm, comfortable and cozy. We will come back if we are traveling in the area again. Highly recommend butterfly cottage.

What a lovely place to rest and recharge for a few days. Everything you need and more. Highly recommended

Great little annex, spacious and clean with great amenities. Was greeted with fresh bread and brownies, butter and eggs. The bread and brownies were delicious. Amazing views and so quiet. Enjoyed seeing the birds feeding off the feeder, especially the woodpecker. Lovely wood burner. A good base for either walks around the area or to see the Roman ruins or for attractions further afield in Northumberland.

We had an amazing 2-night stay at Jane’s place. The house is absolutely beautiful and set in breathtaking surroundings—the photos really don’t do it justice, as the real thing is far more exquisite. The decor is warm and homely, yet spacious enough to comfortably fit the five of us. Both bathrooms were spotless—one with a shower and the other with a bathtub, which gave us the flexibility to choose. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including ample fridge space. The garden is also worth mentioning—gorgeous and clearly very well cared for. We especially loved the fireplace; it truly felt like the cherry on top of an already perfect stay. The house manual was detailed and extremely helpful, covering everything we needed to know. Jane was a wonderful host—so warm and thoughtful. She welcomed us with a lovely letter and some delicious biscuits, which made us feel right at home from the start. Highly recommended!

When we arrived we were greated by Carolyn and Brian, Brian was just about to take Ruby (the dog) for a walk so Carolyn showed us around the apartment, it's a beautiful place to stay and would highly recommend it. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom/shower room is immaculate! The scenery is stunning and we managed to see the deer and a barn owl too!! We just wish we could have stayed longer!! We would just like to say a 'Big Thank You' to you both for making our stay such a lovely and welcoming one! We hope to see you again soon! Sue and Pete 😊 xxx

What a fantastic property and garden in such a quiet, lovely neighbourhood yet only 5 minutes’ walk to Bowness on Windermere shops and eating places, a few minutes further walk takes you to the lake and ferry terminal. The property was warm and homely, yet everything was pristine, all the rooms were immaculate, the kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, with plenty of utensils and cooking equipment, spotlessly clean. The ensuite bedrooms were beautiful as were the bathrooms. It has a huge driveway and great enclosed back garden with firepit and Weber BBQ, lots of seating, pity we were not able to take advantage of this due to the weather. The garden was very safe and enclosed for our dogs. We were able to adjust the heating temperature to suit, we really appreciated. Otto was fantastic and responded immediately to any queries before and during our holiday, as well as being pro-active from booking and throughout our week’s holiday. Thanks to the housekeeper who is doing a wonderful job.
