“Absolutely loved staying at the little barn, it was like home from home, in an ideal location to explore surrounding areas/towns.”

We had a slight problem with the boiler one morning so I rang Leah who informed me her brother and Dad would call, luckily it fired up so I rang her back but her brother and Dad still called within 10 mins just to check everything was ok. We will definitely be back.

“Little Barn was beautiful inside and out.”

My family and I loved it. The only thing we had a slight issue with was the gaps underneath the fence as our dog could get undernesth the fence , some chicken wire would resolve this issue. Other than that everything was perfect.

“Little Barn was very clean with everything we needed.”

Amazing views and very quiet, just the donkeys and alpacas for company and they only wandered into the neighbouring field a couple of times. It made the perfect spot for our mini break. Not quite warm enough to enjoy the outside seating areas but we imagine it would be a fabulous place to sit with a morning cuppa or an evening G & T. Lots to explore in the area - we did a lovely walk from the cottage up to the Hospice tower with 360 degree views and then down to Cartmel - a very pretty place with cafes and pubs and a Priory lovely food and extensive menus at the Mallard Tea Room. Took the steam train from Haverthwaite to Lakeside and did a lovely walk up to High Dam through woodland. The tea room at Haverthwaite station sell off their scones and pasties for £1 at the end of each day. Akhi Indian in GOS delivered our takeaway too. Also enjoyed exploring around Humprhey Head and had a lovely meal at Thyme Out in Grange Over Sands before heading home. We would like to return to take the train across the estuary to Silverdale - maybe next year... Thanks for sharing your property.

“It’s called Little Barn but there’s so much room!”

The open plan kitchen and living room is very spacious. The kitchen has everything you need and the living area is comfy and cosy with some amazing views. The bathroom is lovely, a good size and bright. There’s 2 bedrooms one with twin beds and the other with a double, my husband thought the mattress on the double was too squishy for him so he slept in the other room just in case you thought we’d argued!. Outside has the most amazing views over the bay x we would definitely recommend this little gem.

“Little Barn is a beautifully maintained property, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.”

The cottage has magnificent views of Morecambe bay, with green fields all around. The weather wasn't very seasonal for our week in June, so we couldn't take advantage of the sitting out area, but we enjoyed the view from the windows! We loved the peace and quiet and watching the donkeys and sheep in the fields nearby. Plenty of things to do in the area, with Grange and its promenade within easy walking distance. We plan to return!

“A great little place.”

Lovely views and well designed to provide all comforts. What would have been helpful was a an information guide on local restaurants and places to visit close by.

“This cottage is the best we’ve stayed in.”

It’s in a beautiful setting and exactly what’s needed to recharge batteries. Hopefully booking for another visit later in the year if we can. Spotlessly clean with everything you need. The donkeys were a bonus too.

“The only suggestion I would like to make is a shelf in the shower to put shampoo and soap on.”

“Little Barn is a lovely cottage with a magnificent view.”

We really enjoyed our holiday in this warm, peaceful property. The weather was amazing so we were able to breakfast each morning on the 'upper deck' outside and dine each evening on the patio, thanks to the property having 2 sets of outdoor dining furniture. The kitchen was very well equipped. The shower pressure was excellent. The whole property was beautifully clean. The local Co-op stocks Bryson's Lakeland plum bread - try it toasted! We really did not want to leave Little Barn, neither did our dog who placed his paws four-square in the doorway and had to be lifted into the car.

“Lovely comfortable cottage , we had a great stay at little barn.”

My grandson especially enjoyed walking down to Grange over Sands as its not to far from the cottage and playing crazy golf etc. we recommend this cottage for dogs too as they had lots of walks. Panoramic view from windows and outside seating area. Would stay again.

Clare July 2023

“Little Barn has a lovely view over the Sands.”

The Barn is absolutely beautiful, clean tidy and well cared for. We can't recommend it enough and enjoyed our stay. Although the garden is enclosed by a horizontal thin line wired fence, our dogs were able to escape with ease into the neighbouring field. (A reference in the information pack asked us not to let dogs into the neighbouring field). We would like to see the fence upgraded which we are sure could be easily done. Our holiday would then have been perfect. Terry and Clare

“Been to Grange many times, first time at Little Barn, what a find, in a beautiful location with views from the patio, (two to choose from) with the most glorious views over to the bay towards Morecambe, Silverdale etc.”

The barn is set on one level, with all things to hand, clean, tidy a beautiful bathroom, well set out kitchen area. Televisions in all rooms, though with that view you would not need them! Have already booked again. Our new favourite place in Grange/Cartmel.

“The property LITTLE BARN was beautiful in every respect; both inside and out.”

We are aware in the advertising that pets can stay there but we feel it is definitely NOT pet friendly, by pets we assume that dogs will be most likely to stay there, As soon as we opened the door to Little Barn we were met with a notice basically saying that pets can only be allowed to sit on the lounge floor and go nowhere else in the property. There were actually two big notices saying the same thing and also stating we would incur a fine if not complied with, We always take covers for everything anyway and always have. My Husband did mention this notice to the owners whilst we were there. Never have we had this before and we have stayed in your cottages before. The last one being on Holy Island last year. We really cannot recommend Little Barn to any pet owners as being pet friendly as it clearly is not. It seems such a shame as the property is perfect in every other way and we would have loved to have stayed there again ,

- John, June 2023

Hi Firstly I’d like to thank you for staying at Little Barn and also give thanks for the lovely water paintings you did whilst visiting. I just want to try clear up the issue in this feedback. I’m aware you spoke to my dad about the sign we have up about not allowing dogs on furniture/beds and how it had upset you, the reasoning behind this is that, as you’ll well know if you are dog people, the hair of dogs will literally imbed into duvets/bed sheets making it nearly impossible to remove, this is obviously very frustrating to us as owners who have to then replace said bedding. And the second reason is being mindful that some people have allergies to pet hair so it is unfair to allow bedding that is covered in dog hair to then be reused for someone who has a potential allergy as I said it is near on impossible to get rid of it so unfortunately it does go straight into the bin. I’m aware your issue is that you would consider that as not pet friendly but that’s simply not the case, we just don’t think it is necessary that dogs go on to the beds, so then we don’t have to go out and buy fresh bedding everytime a customer chooses to allow that to happen. I have tried calling a few times to explain this to you but had no luck getting through so hope this clears things up and you can hopefully see our point of view. To clarify for any future guests we absolutely welcome dogs, Infact, we encourage them, we just ask they stay off beds, in accordance to the terms and conditions that are agreed to with sykes Thank you Leah Property Owner

“Lovely cottage in a great location with spectacular views over Morecambe Bay.”

Equipped with everything you need to enjoy your holiday

- Martin, May 2023
Edwina May 2023

“Had a wonderful stay.”

Batteries duly refreshed and recharged. Perfect location and views. My only slight criticism would be I’m not sure it could be classed at pet friendly.The patio wasn’t secure and we were constantly concerned about them exploring the rest of the bungalow. Also the sofa and chairs were very uncomfortable.

- Edwina, May 2023
Angela April 2023

“Lovely cottage,great views.”

Would suggest better fencing between garden and field as dogs can get through at the moment so not secure.

“Excellent property as a disabled person would have liked a higher supportive ...”

Excellent property as a disabled person would have liked a higher supportive chair I struggled with low chair I know u carnt cater for everyone but maybe put one in the bedroom that could be used if needed otherwise the most beautiful location spotlessly clean was sorry to leave views were spectacular and the peace and quite was amazing thankyou

- Suzanne, March 2023

Hi Suzzane, thanks so much for the comments on Little Barn. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. If you decide to book again in future please do let us know if you require certain things as we do provide them but obviously as you know we do not have the space to have them out all the time, so we keep them in storage up at our personal homes. Usually when we have disabled or elderly guests, they let us know in advance so we can have it prepared for them on arrival (such as a seat for the shower) Thanks, Leah. Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage!”

We stayed there over Christmas, and the owners had put so much thought and effort in to decorate the property and make it feel festive. Little Barn was spotlessly clean, beds really comfortable and the view across the fields to the sea were stunning and are worth every penny spent to stay there! The dog loved exploring the patio, lawn and raised decking. We will be booking again soon!

“Beautiful property, ideally located.”

Clean and tidy, with all that we needed. Thank you

Daisy August 2022

“We had a wonderful stay - I feel very smug that I found this little gem.”

A couple of tiny things that might have improved our stay: We found that the garden fence was not secure; this meant we had to keep our dog on a lead at all times, which was disappointing as it was a huge reason we booked Little Barn. The kitchen knives were overdue being sharpened - having a knife sharpener available would have been great. The barn was very comfortable, although we did find that the pillows in the bedroom were absolutely enormous! Very luxurious but not the comfiest to sleep on. Oh my god the shower was awesome - 10/10. Thank you again for such a lovely stay - between the lovely little barn and the truly awesome views we were very, very happy indeed.

Graham August 2022

“This is a superb little cottage with everything you need for an amazing break away.”

Overlooking some absolutely stunning views in a very tidy garden & sitting area, you can not help to unwind and relax. Would definitely recommend this place for any couple or even small family for sure. Loved it and the cottage will be saved for future visits to the area.
