Barn holiday rentals in Allerdale District

Karen was very helpful and her instructions were clear. It was beautiful, quiet and undisturbed setting was a peaceful escape.

If you are looking for a week off-grid then we would definitely recommend the Hemmel, it was everything we needed and more. Our favourite bits were the views, the peacefulness, and the red squirrels running across the stone wall in the garden! We can’t wait to come back again and explore more of Northumberland. Kate was an excellent host who was extremely helpful and very friendly. We based our plans off her comprehensive local guide folder and filled the rest of the time with the wide variety or board games, books, and DVDs!

This is our 3rd year at Mary Meadows and we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in the Lakes. Well equipped, clean, comfortable, extremely quiet, and so nice of Joanne to knock on the door and make sure everything was ok! Walking distance to the newly refurbished Royal Hotel that serves great beer and food, and to Gowbarrow Fell and the spectacular Aira Force waterfalls. Everything else in the Lakes just a short drive away. Avoid the hustle and bustle and chill out in Dockray! A very friendly neighbour too, who's a bit untidy, but lovely genuine welcoming chap and full of great stories about the area. A highly recommended place to stay!

Beautiful setting, quirky interior, lots of lovely little touches. Really clean. Great base for exploring

The cottage was the perfect place for our weekend away! The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped, and the garden was very spacious! We loved watching the neighbouring sheep in the sun room, and the hot tub was the perfect place to watch the pheasants and squirrels which visited the garden. The cottage was about an hours drive to the lakes, and the host was super friendly and recommended some lovely local walks and things to do in the village! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

A lovely peaceful retreat in a beautiful village. Extremely comfortable bed and excellent, clean facilities. Really appreciated the bread, milk etc - a really thoughtful touch.

Lovely place for us to stay for a short period. Really nice area to visit ideal for some walking in North lakes and nice pub nearby. Property has everything you need and a good space for family, lovely outdoor space with a stream.

I’ve just spent the most wonderful and memorable weekend with my daughter on Alice’s stunningly beautiful farm. This really is an absolute gem. The setting is like walking back in time and the cottage is just gorgeous, warm and welcoming with everything you need for a peaceful break away from it all. Perfectly located near to Ullswater and all it has to offer yet without all the hustle and bustle! Great links to the rest of the Lakes too. Alice and George made us feel so so welcome and even took the time to show my daughter all the animals on the farm. Thanks so much Alice. We can’t wait to return! X

Quite rural but only 8 mins off the main road - makes you feel you’re in a very special quiet place! Great little cottage, cozy and comfy and clean, and nicely decorated. Hot tub with great view is a fab addition. Would recommend.

A fantastic getaway very near to the M6. So cosy and homely. Lovely touches like fresh eggs and milk for breakfast. Very nicely decorated with Lake District themed art, beautiful countryside setting and views and friendly host.

Lynn & Reg are so friendly and make you feel so welcome at home straight away. Their little cottage is so nice, the photos don’t do it justice. Private garden for the dogs and endless places to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. The beach is literally 2 mins walk down a track and we had it to ourselves the whole time we were there. We look forward to going back and spending more time there.

We chose to stay here due to its location for walking and exploring the mountains, especially Scafell Pike. The hot tub was a must as we have enjoyed the use of one every year we've been away. The cottage is stunning and the views are beautiful. Everything you need is in the cottage and the standard furnishing is high. Lisa was accommodating as we had 3 hounds. During our holiday we had a problem with the hot tub and Lisa was really helpful, responsive and advised us what to do. We would definitely come back and recommend the footage to friends and family.

Fantastic host, really friendly and accommodating. Very responsive to message and easy to chat with. The accommodation is clean, tidy, all modern fixtures and fittings. The beds are clean and comfortable. Super location to explore the local sites and sounds. Would highly recommend and will hopefully revisit some day.

Lovely upside-down barn conversion (spacious living /dining/kitchen area upstairs), very characterful with the exposed roof beams and stone floors downstairs. Beautiful rural setting opposite the church and fields, and near a working dairy farm. We really loved our stay! Host was fixed any little issues quickly, and our family of 4 had a chilled out time when not exploring the Lakes.

Stunning location and cottage. Sunshine for our three day stay, the walk's and views are stunning. We would definitely recommend a stay at Duddon View cottage, perfectly situated for soul calming walks in the surrounding fells, better than any medicine. Well done with the renovation guy's, a thoughrouly recommend stay. Regards, Tony, Glenda, Carl & Maureen.

Beautiful and secluded. Great for a few days away for pure peace and quite with beautiful walks nearby. Very roomy with a good kitchen as well.

My husband and I and our two doggies had a truly unforgettable time. The home was the perfect escape. Stunning walks right on our doorstep, a 15/20 minute walk to the local coop, pubs, and cafe, wonderful views from the balcony when the sun shone, and a cosy home for when it rained. I cannot recommend this location enough and we will certainly be visiting again. The bath was great after our long walks and there was always plenty of hot water. The kitchen was well equipped. The WiFi was a little temperamental but the tv was always working and there’s 4G if you’re desperate to connect to the world (which isn’t necessary when you’re in such a beautiful area). Very helpful and friendly hosts, comfy bed, great shower (although you might struggle if you’re over 6ft2”. Great cooking appliances, the local pubs are lovely, and some villages within a 20 minute drive that are also worth the visit. Very happy customers!

Michael's place was a perfect base for our 5 days in the Lakes. The house was really well set up with a fully equipped kitchen, balcony with great views, wood burner and TV with netflix. The bed was super comfy although as others have noted there are low ceilings downstairs (where bedrooms and bathroom are) so not ideal if you're tall. I'm 6ft and I could just get away without ducking when walking around, however the shower was awkward to use and I had to contort myself to avoid bumping my head. That's a minor issue though as otherwise the place was great. The location is also very convenient for accessing lots of lovely parts of the Lakes - we didn't need to use the car for 2 of the days, spending one on Ullswater and Aire Force waterfalls, and another climbing Helvellyn, both walkable from the house.

Lovely house, great views, within 30 mins drive to all main south lakes sights. Communication and check in all very easy and clear. We had a great stay :)

We had a lovely stay at "The Byre". The location is very peaceful, cottage is well equipped with high quality items and beautifully decorated. I can't remember when I slept that well. We would love to come back in the future. Thx for having us.

Tara was a wonderful host, they were so quick to respond and instructions were very clear of how to get to property. Kitchen was well equipped with new appliances and everything you would need. Very peaceful location. Thanks for lovely stay.

We had an amazing 2-night stay at Jane’s place. The house is absolutely beautiful and set in breathtaking surroundings—the photos really don’t do it justice, as the real thing is far more exquisite. The decor is warm and homely, yet spacious enough to comfortably fit the five of us. Both bathrooms were spotless—one with a shower and the other with a bathtub, which gave us the flexibility to choose. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including ample fridge space. The garden is also worth mentioning—gorgeous and clearly very well cared for. We especially loved the fireplace; it truly felt like the cherry on top of an already perfect stay. The house manual was detailed and extremely helpful, covering everything we needed to know. Jane was a wonderful host—so warm and thoughtful. She welcomed us with a lovely letter and some delicious biscuits, which made us feel right at home from the start. Highly recommended!

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

What a fantastic property and garden in such a quiet, lovely neighbourhood yet only 5 minutes’ walk to Bowness on Windermere shops and eating places, a few minutes further walk takes you to the lake and ferry terminal. The property was warm and homely, yet everything was pristine, all the rooms were immaculate, the kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, with plenty of utensils and cooking equipment, spotlessly clean. The ensuite bedrooms were beautiful as were the bathrooms. It has a huge driveway and great enclosed back garden with firepit and Weber BBQ, lots of seating, pity we were not able to take advantage of this due to the weather. The garden was very safe and enclosed for our dogs. We were able to adjust the heating temperature to suit, we really appreciated. Otto was fantastic and responded immediately to any queries before and during our holiday, as well as being pro-active from booking and throughout our week’s holiday. Thanks to the housekeeper who is doing a wonderful job.
