The property was amazing, great location, short walk to the shops and restaurants. Spotlessly clean and great thought and care taken to make the guests feel welcome. Our dog really appreciated the ball and treats. We will hopefully be back soon.

Fantastic cottage in fantastic location. We had an amazing special birthday celebration there. Two nice outside patios. Only thing that's not so obvious on website is that it's on the main road from Bowness on Windermere coming into and out of Ambleside. We weren't too aware of it but one of us used earplugs in bed.

The road noise is a massive downer. Its a good job that we wasnt there in the summer when road noise would be louder.. Its a shame that the location doesnt mention the road until you have booked. Some honesty regarding the location close to the road should be mentioned.

We stayed at Lowfold Barn for a long weekend to celebrate my 60th birthday with my siblings. It was extremely comfortable for 7 adults and felt like a home from home. It is very well equipped and in an excellent location. Cant wait to return.

This is the second time I have stayed in this property and again we all had a wonderful stay. The house is great for my family and elderly mum and feels just like home. Only a 5/10 min walk to the lake and 15 to the village. We will continue to return to this property as we love it!

Lovely cottage. Great location within easy walk to town centre, hills, waterfalls or to lakeside and the jetties for cruises. Very well equipped. Spoilt for seating areas inside and out. Possibly overall one of the best weve stayed in for a long time.

Stayed at Lowfold Barn on several occasions and as always we had a lovely stay. Cosy home with a great location in the heart of Ambleside. Lots of good walks around also. The added extras the new owner has in place are a lovely touch as was the bottle of champagne and treats for the 2 dogs. Will definitely be back at one of our favourite cottages.
