A beautiful barn with stunning views from the lounge and downstairs bedroom. We slept very well. Beds are super comfy. Only negative would be that there are no blinds upstairs so we would avoid staying with children during spring/summer. Sue was helpful and kind. Even offering to light the fire for us before we returned home. So many places to visiRead moret close by including Ingleton Falls, which makes for a long but fun walk with children. The Lakes are close too with so many walking opportunities. Hide

A super cottage, clean and stylish, with a beautiful view. Its a perfect place to relax, or to explore the Lakes and Dales. There is so much to see and do around, and we've had great adventures. Our host was very welcoming and helpful. The food, landscape and people have made an impression.

Stick Barn is in a great location with so many options for days out. The property is very well equipped and comfortable, especially the super king bed! The weather was great so we enjoyed the patio with lovely views over the fields. If you want to eat out there are good pubs and restaurants not too far away. Would certainly return if possible.

What a lovely cottage the photos do not do it justice. Beautiful sunrise from the bedroom very rural setting yet easy access to shops and a lovely country pub. The owners Sue and Ian couldnt have been more helpful yet completely discreet Will be looking to rebook this perfect cottage at a later date

Lovely comfortable cottage, close enough to all the amenities at the near by Kirby Lonsdale but a peaceful location. Quiet lanes to explore on foot with walks directly from the front door. The cottage was equipped with everything you need for a most pleasant stay. Highly recommended.

Had a great week, loved the cottage and location, enjoyed watching the birds in the adjacent field especially a barn owl out hunting in the evening. The lanes are good for walking as so little traffic and we covered many miles in all directions including to Kirkby Lonsdale, along the canal to Burton in Kendal and Hutton Roof Crags. The pub at LuptoRead moren is well worth a visit and easy to walk to. C&R Wakefield Hide
