    “Another fantastic week at The Barn - thanks Jayne and Graeme!”

    This is our second year staying in this property. We're a family of three, who like to walk and don't like the crowds of the towns, so The Barn is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked, with tea/coffee/sugar provided and milk and a couple of treats waiting when you arrive. I cooked meals I would at home whilst we stayed. The shower is amazing, there's a downstairs loo (not listed, but very welcome) and lots of toilet paper. The front room has enough seats for four people and a footstool which ...

    This is our second year staying in this property. We're a family of three, who like to walk and don't like the crowds of the towns, so The Barn is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked, with tea/coffee/sugar provided and milk and a couple of treats waiting when you arrive. I cooked meals I would at home whilst we stayed. The shower is amazing, there's a downstairs loo (not listed, but very welcome) and lots of toilet paper. The front room has enough seats for four people and a footstool which hides games, leaflets and walking books. Having seen previous reviews, I can confirm that there is a coat rack and a hand rail and to me, plenty of room for families. Location wise, we chose the Barn so we could access the Western Lakes, plus Keswick and Ullswater easily. Cockermouth is so close, where you can find an Aldi, Lidl and Sainsbury's, plus a butcher/deli. From here, we've drivrn and walked around Loweswater, Buttermere & Haystacks, Ennerdale, Aira Force, Grasmere & Rydal Water and Derwentwater. Plus walked up Catbells, Scafell Pike and Walla Crag. For rainy days, we've gone to Honister Slate (quarry tour and climb thr mine), Puzzling Place and Go Ape/orienteering at Whinlatter and Grizedale. On very rainy days, we've stayed in the Barn and played family games - some provided (connect 4, battleships, bullseye) and others we brought with us. We judged walking conditions on whether we could see the fells out of the lounge and main bedroom windows! Thanks again!

About the location

WORKINGTON

Maryport 6 miles; Cockermouth 7.7 miles; Bassenthwaite Lake 23 miles.

Workington is an ancient market and port town on the west coast of Cumbria, based at mouth of the River Derwent. The town has a selection of shops, bars and two theatres, as well as five churches and history dating back to Roman times, with forts positioned on the coast as coastal defences. Curwen Hall is a striking ruin, which was originally built around a pele tower that dates back to the 14th century and was used to shelter Mary Queen of Scots on her last flight to Scotland before her execution. In more recent time, Workington was known for the production of high quality iron ore and mining, and the town’s industrial history can be learnt at the maritime museum based on the cliffs in nearby Whithaven. The western side of the Lake District National Park can be reached in less than half an hour’s drive, to the west is the Solway Firth and its designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and to the east are the Lakeland Hills. A wonderful base for exploring the Cumbrian coastline.
