“Our family of 4 (2 adults, one teenager and a 11 year old) stayed in February for a week at Pickle Barn and cannot recommend it highly enough.”
Firstly, the location is incredibly peaceful, quiet and feels like you've truly gotten away from everything which helps massively in relaxing and enjoying a proper holiday. However, you're only 20-30 minutes drive from both Kendal and Lancaster with everything you might need in terms of shopping for supplies.
It is easy to get into the Lake District with Windermere around 30 minutes drive, and about an hour to get further north to Keswick or Grasmere. The coast at Arnside is only about 20 minutes as well so plenty of options!
The property is cosy and wonderfully equipped (particularly enjoyed having a kitchen stocked with good quality cookware as we tend to cook for ourselves most of the time when we are away), the flipped bedrooms are a nice touch for being able to enjoy the view with a cup of tea in the morning as the sun rises, and the open plan means you can all still chat and hang out while making food.
Our hosts were welcoming, friendly and made themselves readily available in case of any issues (of which we had none!) and we are definitely considering a return visit in future - potentially in warmer weather so we can take advantage of the garden and use the barbeque!
Thank you for the lovely review, we are so pleased you had an enjoyable stay with us and look forward to seeing you again in the future
