Really liked the property in general. We stayed in Heather barn, enough space for 5 adults and 1 child. The place is warm with underfloor heating and tasteful decor and furniture. Nice to have coffee,tea,milk ready for us on arrival esp when we arrived quite late. We loved having the bbq grill - with a gas hob, and fire pit available (all the rooms at the property had one!). Personally enjoyed the self check in with good communication from property owners. Personally feel checkout at 10am is early (a lot of rentals now do this) but thankfully Ray the site manager was able to accommodate our request for a slightly later check out. My family loved the setting of the property, waking up to a beautiful field of sheep right in front of the property and being able to see horses in the field behind. It was a good base for us to explore the lake district, quiet but also close enough to Kendal town for access to shops etc. Would definitely think about coming back with a larger group of friends as we do annual camping holidays so our kids can get together and property is definitely family-friendly!

We always like leaving the place in a good condition before leaving, so having a broom/brush pan may have helped with sweeping the floors especially as we have a lot of girls in our family and hair everywhere was unavoidable! Kitchen had a basic large frying pan and small pot, luckily I brought our larger pot from home just in case. The light near the bbq grill was out, so may need replacing if planning to cook when its gone dark.

It was bright and clean. Welcoming from the moment we turned in drive. Beautiful planters, comfortable bed. Complimentary tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and milk in fridge. Quality towels and super shower. Super fast broadband. Fabulous place to bring my old quiet Labrador. Parking excellent. Communication before was brilliant, with exact instructions how to get there.

Only a small thing. Could have done with either a switch by the bed to turn off the lights or a lamp by the bed. We live in the country and are used to the dark, however in a strange room in the middle of the night you could do with easily turning light on.

We had an excellent three days staying here in mid-November. The stable is exceptionally clean, very warm, and well-appointed for such a small property. It had the bare basics but still had more than we needed. The shower is great with loads of hot water. the kitchen area is small but ok for a simple breakfast. the small seating area was ok for the two of us and our small terrier. Be organised, don't bring too much and this stable is more than enough for a couple of days. The Punchbowl is a five-minute walk away which provides good quality pub grub and a nice pint. Take a couple of torches. It is a dark walk to the pub. We would come back and we will recommend it to our friends. Many thanks to Newlands Farm. Steve and Sandra.

The mattress on the double bed is very poor and could be replaced. Not comfortable at all.

Accommodation was lovely. Spacious and clean.

It was not clear at all that the pod and fire hut were part of Bracken Barn only. Other guests repeatedly came into these areas. The fire hut we didn’t mind as we used the gas BBQ but having people try to get into the pod where our teens were sleeping was not ok. At one point other guests walked right into the pod and I had to go and ask them to leave. Signage in the area would help possibly or add this information to the welcome pack inside the other accommodations.

It was a perfect location, very close to windermere, so that's best thing about the property! The property was clean. My little son enjoyed a lot seeing the sheep's all around. The property is perfect for Nature lovers who wants calm and serene environment. We all loved our stay.

Just one thing that would be great to have included is a cooking hob, as we don't do barbeque so often. But we love cooking our dinner and breakfast which was not really possible, as there is not much cooking facilities. Apart from this point, it was overall a great stay. very much recommended.

Very quiet area and only 5 min walk from a lovely little local Pub. The dog field behind the Barn was an excellent addition and the owner and cleaner were both very knowledgeable on local walks.

The Barn was literally 20m from the high speed railway line which was a bit of a shocker at first, but you get used. The only other issue was the only cooking facilities is on the BBQ outside, nothing internal apart from a microwave, maybe this is explained in the description but i must of missed it. apart from this it was lovely.

The barn was lovely and warm, everything was very clean and comfortable and there is also underfloor heating. Also it’s very well located for Kendal and the South Lakes.

The only thing stopping this from being excellent was a few bits that would have made it easier for us and not have to keep popping out - there wasn’t any washing up liquid and we only had 2 toilet rolls for the group for a couple of nights that we had to go and get more. Just having a few basic amenities (more toilet roll, oil and washing up liquid) would have helped a lot.

The location was great for exploring the Lakes District and Yorkshire Dales. In the countryside and lovely walks can be done from there. We enjoyed the dedicated undercover barbecue area, individual gas barbecues as well as fire pits! We stayed in one of the small cabins (converted horse stables) which were small but ample for 2 people. Quiet rural area apart from a nearby railway line with trains coming by. WiFi reception was good too.

The trains running nearby throughout the night and a tap in the bathroom which was a bit problematic

It has been a pleasant stay. Room was big enough for our needs small kitchenette was useful and our dog particularly enjoyed the large field made available nearby. Overall quiet regardless of the proximity of the railway tracks.

Stay fell short on the small details. Even though table and chairs are provided on the patio just outside the room it could be beneficial to have a small foldable table available inside for those cold days. It is a really quiet lane but exiting the property by car could be made safer by setting up mirrors to improve visibility for incoming traffic.

We stayed in the Heather barn. It was warm, cosy and had the basics for everything we needed for a short stay. Easy to find, pleasant location and plenty of parking for all the guests. What let our trip down was no fault of the owners. We could hear our neighbours having a domestic long into the night. Apart from that, lovely stay!
