“The Garden Suite was the perfect place to stay on our first visit to the lakes.”

The property is well situated for exploring the area and is a wonderfully cosy retreat to come home to after a day walking. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and could not have hoped for a better holiday. The hosts Gill and Phil were welcoming and friendly while giving us space to enjoy our holiday but were on hand if we needed anything.

Jane October 2023

“The welcome was first class, the rooms spotless and the owner was easily contactable if needed.”

My only concern as an older person is that the sofa is too low to the floor and so very hard to get out of - please could you consider raising it on blocks - easily available - to make sure that it is truly comfy for all. Weather was mixed but we still had a very good holiday. Thank you we would definitely recommend you to anyone.

- Jane, October 2023

Thanks for your feedback Jane. We are working on purchasing a raised cushion seat for our visitors who prefer a higher seat. Property Owner

Timothy July 2023

“Phil and Gill were excellent hosts who provided a more than comfortable stay in the Lakes.”

They have a beautiful property that made the stay feel warm and homely. They were helpful, giving tips and advice about staying in the area, and they went the extra mile to ensure we had a great stay; for example, doing a load of our washing for us! Thanks very much for a great week. Tim & Becky - Southampton P.S. (we forgot to write in the guest book, so if you want, feel free to copy this note!)

- Timothy, July 2023

“A lovely peaceful cottage in a very good location for exploring many areas of the Lake District, particularly Coniston, Hawkshead and the less popular south.”

Gill and Phillip were welcoming and friendly hosts who provided lots of useful information and have carefully thought about how to ensure their guests can immediately relax and enjoy their holiday. For me it was an excellent base for walking many trails and a relaxing place to return to at the end of each day.

Comfortable, spotless, very well equipped. The owners have added lots of personal extras that made it feel home from home. As a solo traveller I felt very secure there.

“Everything about the Garden Suite was wonderful, we had a perfect stay.”

The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and the small touches like leaving bread, milk, clotted cream, wine, snack bars etc were very nice.

Our only regret is that we didn't book it for long enough. We will be back!

Alexandra March 2022

“One of the absolute best places I have stayed!”

From start to finish, I really did feel at home. There was nothing I needed that wasn't available through my stay. I was able to choose walks based off their recommendations within the area and found myself having a really great time. I had never been to the Lakes so I found that the welcome information I was given by email and in the suite, was extremely useful. Location wise, it was perfect. I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay, everything seemed to be within 10-20 minutes of the suite and the roads were really quiet so I found the drives really enjoyable. Gill and Phillip went above and beyond from a hosting perspective and I am ever so grateful for the experience. I really would love to stay there again. I was able to speak to Gill and Phillip through my stay and I am really happy I did, they are a wonderful couple and I hope that future guests appreciate the space they have created for others'.

- Alexandra, March 2022

Many thanks Alex for your kind words. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay in The Garden Suite and that you were able to enjoy some of the beautiful local walks. It was a pleasure to meet you. Property Owner

The property

Tucked away on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Newby Bridge, amongst the picture-perfect grounds of the owner's home, rests this charming stone-built holiday home, The Garden Suite at Fiddler Hall Barn. The Garden Suite at Fiddler Hall Barn is a haven for nature lovers and adventurers alike, and it's the perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring.

A delightful garden greets you at the foot of this lovely dwelling, enticing you to take a seat and soak in your peaceful surroundings for a moment before entering your new home-away-from-home to begin your staycation. A well-presented studio-style living area greets you upon arrival, thoughtfully laid out with a snug sitting area gathered in front of a Smart TV and a sumptuous king-size bed taking centre stage.

The kitchen/diner leading off from the sociable space is equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge freezer and other helpful utilities.

Alfresco dining is a wonderful way to take advantage of your fellside location enjoying the night sky whilst sipping your favourite beverage. The tranquil countryside that surrounds your holiday home provides the perfect setting for long walks; grab your walking boots and climb the neighbouring fells including Gummers How, which offers magnificent views of Lake Windermere and The Lake District mountains beyond. Explore Lake Windermere and Coniston Water where you can Canoe, Kayak or Paddle board.

For alternative daytime fun visit Bowness on Windermere which is home to the Old Laundry Theatre and the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, as well as having a thriving nightlife. A short drive away from the accommodation is all that is required to visit the food haven of Cartmel or take a walk along the promenade at Grange over sands.

For the more adventurous, the challenges of climbing Englands highest mountain Scafell Pike or any of the many other high fells could be considered. The Swan Hotel and Spa in Newby Bridge is the perfect place to unwind with a spa treatment or a glass of bubbly while admiring the stunning views of the fells from the terrace. Make unforgettable memories with a stay at The Garden Suite at Fiddler Hall Barn.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
