Townfoot Barn

A lovely, comfortable cottage in an excellent location.

The fixtures and fittings were first class. The communications before and during the stay from Alun, the owner, were the best we’ve experienced. The only issue is the parking: I damaged our clutch trying to reverse up the driveway (as was recommended). It would have been better to go up forwards or to have the lower space, which Alun agreed that we could use for the week, to be the designated space.

A beautiful property, in a wonderful location.

Couldn't be happier.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful and very quiet location.

Cottage was spotless and very well equipped. Plenty of walks right from the front door and the local pubs and tea shop were very welcoming. Yes, the drive is a challenge but either let Alun park it for you or just use the 2nd space at the bottom of the drive. I would note that due to the more open plan aspect upstairs, the bedroom is partially open, but is still private and only means you can't have the telly on if 1 of you is in bed. Alun was the perfect host, very friendly and approachable.

Alun and Oksana, the owners, make the whole stay a lovely experience.

The barn is in a beautiful setting, with glorious view across the valley. Our little dog, Bibi, loved it. We will return.

Great property in a fab location.

Well equipped with all equipment needed in the kitchen. Comfy bed and a good shower.

Beautifully situated property within the national park.

The barn was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and equipped to a high standard, we would highly recommend.

Had a lovely week at Townfoot Barn.

Modern property with everything you could possibly need, inc. washing facilities, iron and ironing board, kitchen utensils. The stairgate at the bottom of the stairs definitely came in handy with the dogs. Used the bbq (just buy charcoal bags from Booths not too expensive). Welcome pack was a nice touch. Parking was no issue as long as you follow the owners instructions. Owners were on hand if needed but also respected our privacy. We were even allowed to check in a couple of hours early which was really helpful after a 7 hour journey. Only minor issue for us was that to toilet the dogs you need to use the bridleway/footpath. Didn't see many people but the smells and distractions made toileting them difficult at times, (especially when we had a bit of rain), but it wouldn't put us off returning. All in all a lovely property and would highly recommend.

Beautiful property in a beautiful village

Great Location.

One of our best visits to the Lake District. Such a great location for all our loved areas - Bowness, Ambleside and Windermere all a stones throw away with great walking routes.

The property is amazing and in a fabulous location in the beautiful Troutbeck valley.

We would, however, like to mention the vehicular access which some drivers of front wheel drive cars may find challenging. Reversing up a steep incline on a bend! Four-wheel drive vehicles will not have a problem. We feel this should be mentioned on the Lakelovers website property information page. This level of detail was only revealed after we had paid for our holiday. For many people this won’t be an issue but for us it was an important factor in selecting the property.

Lovely property both inside and out, very well equipped with everything you need for your stay.

The welcome package of breakfast items is a massive bonus! Had a lovely week and definitely want to stay again.

Very well-equipped property and a helpful owner who lives nearby

Superb place to stay.

Lovely host and was very helpful. Lovely supplies and biscuits left. Views brilliant. House was really lovely. It was great to have 2 different areas to sit either end of the house in the garden and sit and have dinner outside or watch the sunrise. We also had 4 public footpaths within 100 yards of the house to go up or down the fells and a lovely path behind the house to take the dog for an early walk in the morning. Had choices of breakfast cereal provided, coffee, tea and jams and bread all free. Kitchen and decorations were pretty much all brand new. Loved the roof windows and a great tv. Lovely building and decorated to a really high standard and we had a fantastic time.

Thank you for a lovely stay, the barn was very homely , it had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

We looked forward to coming back to the barn after a hard day walking.
