This is our 2nd visit to this property.

We are 3 families that are related so we can either do our own thing on the different levels or as we mostly did, gathering in the kitchen for games, meals, or just chilling. The lounge is plenty big enough for all of us to use (9 people in total) for watching TV. The Barn is close enough to Cartmel, Grange,or Lindale for days out, yet set in the rambling country side for peace and quiet. The house is impeccably clean and well maintained and we are definitely going to book again for next year.

Beautiful big house in a great location.

Everything we could need was provided in the house. Great pub in the village. Lovely venue for a family holiday. Peaceful area of South Lakes, but close enough to busier areas of Windermere, Bowness etc if desired.
