“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 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!
