Birkett Barn

Had a brilliant week with friends at Birkett Barn.

Well equipped and in a lovely location. Would definitely go again.

Quite simply the best Sykes accommodation we have ever stayed in.

One of the cleanest, most well equipped holiday let's we've ever stayed in.

The house was absolutely brilliant, with the incredibly beautiful and relaxing views. A short drive from Kirby Stephen, a lovely place to visit for a wander, a few drinks and something to eat if you want to but the house has everything you need to stay put and relax where you are if you'd prefer to do that. All the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Plenty of space to be together in the kitchen, in the comfortable living room and in the outside space as well. Hot tub a wonderful addition and really well looked after like everything else. Really wonderful place with no notes at all from us. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we were even treated to some yummy fresh eggs from the farm. Brilliant stay we will def be back

We had an amazing stay at Birkett Barn, we had everything we needed it was very well equipped.

The views were spectacular especially when we were sat in the hot tub! The only slight issues we had were flies which we know cannot be helped and also dogs barking throughout the night next door, but would definitely be back and highly recommend!

Superb.

The house is fitted out to a very high standard with plenty of room for eight people.

The accommodation was faultless, perfect setting and a perfect venue for our reunion.

The owners allowed us an early check in and there is genuinely nothing I can comment on that is not positive about them and their property. I was less impressed with Sykes Cottages themselves who, after a mix up when booking through the website I called them for clarification to be told at the time they would call me back when the booking hit their system, they failed to call back and after 2 days of waiting I called them and their operator was very inflexible and rude with regard to our request which they had said had effectively expired due to them not calling us back. I am not sure I would look at using Sykes Cottages again.

Fantastic property!

Photos don’t do it justice. Everything was so peaceful and calm- just what was needed. Would definately comeback

Brilliant cottage, great location.

Spent an early Christmas getaway at the barn and was decorated lovely. Would certainly be looking to going back.

We absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be back in the future.

It's has everything you need for the perfect stay. Honestly I dont have the words to explain how nice it is here. Thank you

Lovely stay at Birkett Barn.

Beautiful views from the property and hot tub. Property very well equipped with everything we needed. Great large kitchen for cooking and eating and a large living room too, lovely to have all en-suite bedrooms and even two more toilets! Some good walks straight from the property a great area to explore, we hope to come back in the future.

We had a lovely holiday in Birkett Barn, which is a beautiful cottage, with excellent facilities and extremely comfortable accommodation, all set in the most glorious setting, with magnificent views.

The owners, Jackie and Malcolm were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The dogs, cats and kittens all gave us a friendly greeting too, and the hot tub was enjoyed immensely. Thank you.

What a great find!

This stunning barn is certainly worthy of a visit for its comfort, cleanliness, space and stunning views. The views from the hot tub are amazing and everything was perfect. Both the kitchen and lounge were great spaces, especially the super well equipped kitchen. You didn’t want for anything in terms of cooking utensils, crockery it was all there if you want to throw a dinner party for your family or friends. What was also special was that each bedroom had its own en-suite so no waiting to use a main bathroom plus there were two other toilets in the property too! The hot tub was ready on the day of arrival and up to temperature - you couldn’t fault the position and the views on offer as you drink a glass of Prosecco. Malcolm the host and his wife had done a great job on keeping the property in fabulous order and we were greeted with a nice welcome basket too. This is a property you can book with confidence and enjoy the fabulous Yorkshire countryside.

A great property for a large family gathering, lots of space, plenty bathrooms and kitchen well equipped.

The hot tub worked well even in the stormy weather. Beautiful countryside with lots of farm animals round about. A little bit remote, access road seemed never ending on arrival but the perfect place for a peaceful get away. Kirkby Stephen is a nice wee town about 10 minutes drive.

A lovely house, clean, spacious and comfortable in a beautiful location, we had a great time staying there.

The house is well equipped with plenty of crockery. The only negative is that some of the baking trays could do with being replaced.

The property was lovely.

The setting and view from hot tub is just breathtaking Host was ever so considerate and looked after us really well Any questions that we had were catered to The stay was made pleasant by the host really going the extra mile in helping with our queries and requests Will definitely visit again

Birkett Barn really did live up to expectations and more.

It was so comfortable, spotlessly clean, and everything you would need in the kitchen area. So much thought had gone into making Birkett Barn perfect for an enjoyable and relaxing family holiday. Shower cream, shampoo, conditioner and soap all provided, plus plenty of toilet rolls! Beds comfortable. Bed linen and towels immaculate. Welcome box with milk, locally made sweets, biscuits and a bottle of prosecco was another added touch. The location was beautiful and so peaceful and quiet. An added bonus was the hot tub. Thank you Jackie and Malcolm, we have had a wonderful holiday.

We all had a wonderful stay.

The cottage was beautiful and immaculately clean, which was especially important to us with a 1 & 2 year old who like to play on the floor. There was plenty of space for them to play whilst us adults relaxed and we all annoyed seeing the animals on our doorstep. I'm usually ready to get home after a week away but I wasn't this time. All our needs were catered for and the owners had gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. Cannot recommend this cottage highly enough. Thank you!

It was everything we d hoped for.

Thebeds were comfortable :the water hot. Plenty of cutlery and crockery. Lovely welcome pack and lots if information in the book. The situation was great for walking and the hot tub a delightful addition.

Birkett Barn was a lovely holiday home.

The views were breathtaking and we were all very comfortable in this well equipped and well maintained property. On top of the four ensuite bedrooms it also had a cloak room/toilet on each floor which is very handy for visitors and those who prefer not use the stairs too much. There is so much to see and do locally, highlights include; the Wensleydale Creamery, Tan Hill Inn and the Settle to Carlisle railway. This is a lovely place to stay and relax.

Incredible stay, BEAUTIFUL place and lots of lovely friendly animals around that are use to human interaction so extremely friendly.

Could not recommend this place anymore, worth every penny!!

Property was 10/10.

The location is stunning. Cottage is surrounded by wildlife and countryside. The interior of the property was beautiful and they supplied everything you needed and more for a relaxing and peaceful stay. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Would 100% recommend the property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Everything was perfect.

The house is fabulous with amazing views. The beds were comfortable, showers were great. We found a bottle of wine, snacks and milk left for us which was a nice surprise. Hot tub was amazing too. A mirror in the downstairs and upstairs toilets would be nice but not a criticism, just a suggestion. A wonderful stay!

Wow wow wow .

What a place , everything you need and more . House is fantastic and spotless clean . Hot tub a bonus . Weather and scenery couldn’t ask for better it was fabulous. Great hospitality from Malcolm and his wife . Had fresh eggs from the farm one day . Delicious . My daughters booked again as has my sister and I will also be back . Thx again Lesley

Fantastic property!

Everything was immaculate and was probably the best stocked rental we have stayed in in terms of kitchen equipment and utensils. Plenty of space and felt very cosy and homely. Would 100% stay here again. Only thing worth noting is that the property is on a working farm so you might be woken up by the sounds of dogs or cockerels - so maybe bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper!

Wow what a place.

Absolutely beautiful. Finishing touches throughout the property are 1st class. We had a fabulous week - the start of my 60th year celebrations and I will end the celebrations there this time next year The owners are friendly and welcoming Thank you

A really wonderful stayat Birkett Barn.

It was perfect for our family group. Very well appointed and spotlessly clean. Fantastic dining kitchen, spacious and comfortable lounge. Great bedrooms and beds, all ensuite. Lovely hot tub with stunning views across the valley. We would love to stay again! Many thanks indeed..

Lovely house for a break away.

Good views. The house had everything you need along with en-suites which was a bonus for a bigger group.

This converted barn has to be one of, or if not, the best we have ever stayed in.

It was spotlessly clean and had everything present we could’ve asked for or needed. It is decorated to a high standard and even the bedding is of a high quality. The added extras like welcome basket and Christmas decorations really made it special. The view from outside the cottage is spectacular, the day we were leaving we woke up to a covering of snow! Wow. As the barn is accessed via a single track road we did worry we might struggle to get out due to the snow and 1 rear wheel drive car, however the owner made himself present and told us he had a 4x4 If needed. Luckily it was not, however the thought/offer was very much appreciated! The only negative we could think of would be that we didn’t stay for long enough. Just means we will have to visit again now

Wow this place was fantastic.

spotlessly clean and spacious. Never stayed in place where the kitchen was so well equipped. Amazing views and great walks from the house. On request the owners decorated the house for Christmas and they were lovely. Great space for a big family and a large hot tub too. Will have to come back next year

Such a lovely stay at Birkett Barn, even the weather was kind to us.

The house has been done out to a very high standard and the owner were very welcoming. Lovely spot if you need peace and quiet. Thank you for allowing us to stay. Would highly recommend this beautiful home.

The house was beautiful and all our needs were catered for.

The view from the house was absolutely stunning. We are a family of retired pensioners and we like to get together by hiring accommodation once a year in September and I was so pleased because I booked Birkett Barn and they were all really pleased with my choice.

Another fabulous stay!

Had a wonderful break here with my friend and our children.

A beautiful house with everything we needed … with the bonus of the hot tub, visiting cats and chickens with an incredible view. Will Certainly be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Birkett Barn, our only downside was having to leave!

We will certainly be back, such a beautiful home in a fantastic location, close to villages with shops, places to eat, bars etc, some lovely walking routes which we didn’t have time to fully explore but a perfect base for when we come back. The house itself was well equipped, kids loved having their own rooms and all being en suite was an added bonus, the people were lovely and the seating areas perfect for family games and family meals, the kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. Views were just magical. Thank you so much for having us, and we’re certain we will see you again soon.

Birkett Barn was excellent and we really enjoyed our stay.

The whole experience was fantastic and apart from the comfortable cottage, the views were incredible. The only small negative observation was the quality of the utensils such as vegetable peeler and grater being of poor quality.The non stick frying pans wereconsiderably worn and the non stick coating had worn away. Bearing in mind the high quality of the kitchen and its facilities, it was surprising that these items were not up to standard. Only a small negative observation and apart from this we had no complaints.

We had an amazing stay at Birkett Barn, the property was amazing with great facilities set in a stunning location.

Another fantastic visit, very clean and everything we could wish for and more provided.

Thank You.

Amazing property and location, the place was as shown in the pictures and we were not disappointed!

We’ll be back for sure!

Absolutely stunning property, great location and facilties.

We were only there for 2 nights for a wedding locally but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My only comment would be a slightly later check out time would be preferable, getting 6 adults and two kids rounded up for 10 am after a late night was a challenge!! Maybe 11.30 would have been a better time.

Lovely property and the owners were amazing.

Thank you Malcolm. We will be back.

Absolutely fabulous venue that was perfect for 4 couples enjoying time away together.

The location is fantastic and considering it is on a working farm there was very little noise or distraction. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and keep the house and area to a very high standard of cleanliness. The 2 main areas - Kitchen/dining and the living room are of ample proportions and all fixtures and fittings are of a very good standard. This is also relevant for the 4 bedrooms and all have ensuite. We hope to be back soon.

We had an absolutely amazing weekend at Birkett Barn.

The house was beautiful and pristine. Every bedroom has an en-suite and the house has 2 additional bathrooms which was great! The hot tub was perfect and the views from the house were beautiful with great walks straight from the doorstep! We will definitely be back and would recommend Birkett Barn to anyone!

We had an absolutely lovely time at birkett barn at the weekend.

The house exceeded our expectations with how clean and well equipped it was. The location and views were beautiful. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Great weekend break away for us girls.

Really enjoyed the barn and the facilities. Very well equipped, location was great. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Absolutely amazing property advertising photos dont do this place justice exceeded our expectations perfect for what we needed would definitely return.

Owners very friendly and helpful Thankyou

This is an amazing property in a fantastic location.

The property was warm and very comfortable. All of the electrical appliances were of high quality. It was great to have plenty of crockery and cutlery. It was great that all bedrooms were the same so no quibbling about who got what room and some of the little touches (biscuits, sweets, face wipes) were really appreciated. Finally the hot tub was easily accessed from the property and was lovely and clean.

Lovely place.

Really beautiful. Only regret is that we couldn't stay for longer.

Pros: Beautiful house Lovely location and views…specially from hot tub House was clean and really nice.

Lots of kitchen crockery and tools available, had everything we needed. Cons: The beds were really uncomfortable. No one slept the whole 4 nights. The hot tub was really dirty…unfortunately wasn't clean It was tough having living room upstairs and kitchen downstairs

We have had an excellent weekend at Birkett Barn!

A fabulous house with excellent facilities! The hot tub is large and the house is well equipped for all you will need. A massive thank you to Malcolm for rescuing us two at a time in his tractor when Storm Isha floods blocked the road to the barn! Amazing house & friendly host - we can’t wait to return!

What an amazing time!

We do a yearly meet up with friends in December and hire a lodge just to eat rubbish and sit in a hot tub and this one by far has been the best one. The dedication to the Christmas details was lovely. They provided everything you needed from towles to even make up wipes to gravy boats. The beds were so comfy and well presented. Malcom was lovely. The lovely cats that came and saw us every day were lovely. The other farmer who we accidentally ended up at was very helpful with giving us directions. I know a few people have said the location is hard to find but malcom has the what 3 words location. If you follow that you cant get lost. We will definitely be back in the future.

Fantastic property, exceeded our expectations.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful property, and very comfortable. Very well equipped, so nice to have plenty of crockery, cutlery, mugs, glasses, just perfect. The hot tub was very welcome, and so much fun sitting in it while the snow was falling. Thanks for our wine and biscuits.

It’s a beautiful cottage , well maintained , only negative points the post code stops you at the wrong destination and we needed to knock on doors to find out were our cottage was , maybe a little sign advising a further couple miles down the road, or info put on the site , also the two telephone numbers supplied to get instructions were not getting answered, hot tub was lovely , clean and warm , we all came home fully relaxed thank you

Super clean properly which is the most important aspect for me.

Great space for socializing and fabulous location

The property is finished to a very high standard is very comfortable and had everything you we needed.

Only one minor issue and that was the tv in the kitchen area which we were not able to get any channels on . Also for future visitors , the directions given are rather sketchy . As you pass down the lane on which the barn is situated you drive through a short tunnel which if mentioned on the directions would confirm that you are in the right road.

This is the perfect holiday accomodation.

The barn is spotless, comfortable, tastefully furnished and with the most amazing views. The host is very friendly and even got his sheep dogs to give us a small demonstration of their skills. We all said we will definitely come back here.

High standards, clean and great facilities as well as a superb location.

Fantastic large and comfortable home with amazing scenery.

Furnished and designed to a very high spec. Kitchen was ginormous and very well equipped. Excellent living room, all bedrooms en suite and great size. Hot tub large and very well located with a beautiful view. Excellent location and near wonderful walks and Kirkby Stephen. Only thing I'd ask is that the owners put the house on Google maps. Thank you!

Too much to mention barking dogs kept caged in barn 50ft from bedroom window no let up all day and night a further 3 dogs roaming round constantly barking .

Baby gate did not fit owner left towel on top to try and fold down side to stop it and child from falling downstairs . No storage space ie wardrobes in 3 of the bedrooms bedroom downstairs had beetles in so son and partner could not leave anything on the floor . Hot tub unusable if raining cheap gazebo £100 would have solved this. No outside space or privacy only saw owner who lives next door when we were leaving and finally asked if everything was alright !!! I have all relevant photos and video evidence to show all concerns but doubt if these will be answered as I have been on the internet and looked at all the unhappy customers that you already have. Will definitely do my homework next time.

We had a lovely stay at Birkett Barn, it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday and we would definitely recommend it.

The property is situated in a peaceful location with stunning views.

We All had a great stay, the house met and exceeded our expectations very clean very well presented nice little touches like a complimentary Bottle of wine.

Set in a quiet spot in the hillside with stunning views, could not ask for more. Thank You

Me and my friends thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away here, the house was perfect, well equipped and very clean.

We Would definitely go again.

Myself and 5 friends recently stayed, the was location was absolutely beautiful, and barn was fantastic, very comfortable and had everything you could possibly need.

The hot tub was a wonderful bonus to. We all wanted to mention the farmyard animals who greeted us throughout the day, so lovely to see and hear. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful barn. Christine.

Absolutely beautiful location and property !

Couldn’t of asked for better , thank you x

The barn was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need.

The views are stunning, the hosts were very friendly and helpful. We will recommend Birkett Barn to family and friends. Lynne.

Birkett Barn is without doubt the best property my friends and I have stayed in (and we’ve stayed in a lot).

The whole barn is built to a very high spec, it’s comfortable, very very spacious, every bedroom has its own en-suite and the kitchen is amazing, extremely well stocked with every utensil you can imagine. The barn is extremely clean and comfortable and, as we are a group of mature women, for once we had the appropriate space needed for 8 people. We will definitely be back

Myself and seven friends visited recently for a girls get-together at the end of February 2023.

We went with the intention of having a ‘pjs, food, drink, games, chatter and plenty of laughs’ type of weekend, and we had a fabulous time. The barn is extremely well kitted out, and very spacious. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The hot tub was just lovely, and there are doors to the side of the barn that take you out to it. We loved it so much we booked to go back for next years little adventure while we were there!

Great location for a relaxing break with the family.

It had all the facilities you need for a good time. Hot tub was frequently used by all. Complementary treats were an added bonus. Would highly recommend this property. The men spent a day fishing at Bessy Beck while the girls went shopping. Win win all round.

Could not fault this property, it was amazing.

The owners are so friendly and love to stop for a chat. We will definitely return

Fantastic stay,beautiful property with everything that we needed.

Will definately book to stay again. Hot tub was great Lovely scenery

WOW just Wow what a amazing property, we stayed for a weekend 7 of us and it was fantastic the owners even left a welcome goodie box which was a lovely and thoughtful touch, the barn/house converted to a brilliant standard, the kitchen is just amazing and well equipped it has everything you could ever need, the hot tub was fantastic with incredible views, en-suite to every bedroom plus 2 additional toilets, equipped to the highest standard and the ambient lighting is stunning, will definitely be booking to come back

Great cottage perfect for weekend away with friends

This property was amazing.

The kitchen was outstanding and very well equipped. Everywhere was very clean and kitted out to a high spec. Lovely large comfortable lounge which was all ideal for our family get together. Will definitely be back.

There is only one word for this accommodation Fabulous!

! Everything is catered for from under floor heating,an abundance of hot water , high tech equipment, a kitchen to die for,a hot tub to relax in and views outside your door to take your breath away . Will we be back most definitely.

A very comfortable house set in a remote location with wonderful views of the surrounding spectacular countryside, It was very new and extremely well equipped and when we arrived it was in pristine clean condition.

It has a huge kitchen/dining room and a very spacious ,warm lounge on the upper floor. The surrounding countryside is great for hiking, and the hot tub great for relaxing after a hike, or for star gazing after dark. Overall….superb!

Amazing place to stay, area is beautiful with lots to see.

Lovely comfortable property, in a quiet scenic area.

Owners were generous with little extras and the hot tub was great ! On the whole the holiday was very restful, would definitely go again.

This property looks good online but when you get there it exceeds expectations and has a WOW factor.

Great facilities set in beautiful countryside Hosts very fruit not overbearing. Would recommend for a fantastic relaxing break.

A perfect rural getaway for a family!

Birkett Barn well and truly exceeded all our expectations. Photos from the website do not do it justice. The most serene setting and surroundings, peaceful rural location but within easy reach from the main roads. The house is really just stunning. Modern, spotlessly clean and still cosy. The huge kitchen was our favourite space decked out with everything you needed and more! Hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed both in day time with the rolling hills, and at night time with a sky full of stars and the rising moon! Friendly owner, loved being on a working farm, greeted by chickens every morning. Would love to come back, thank you!

We had a great time, the house is amazing, very spacious and clean.

The kitchen was brilliant, really well equipped. The hotttub is a great addition, it's very relaxing looking out to the country side. The owners were lovely and really friendly. Definitely recommend!

Wow what a place.

Exceeded our expectations in every way. Beautiful scenery, clean, equipped with everything you need, and even things you didn't know you needed! Owner friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone. Pictures really don't do the place justice! Will 100% be bak....if just for the hot tub!

A beautiful place, very well equipped.

Gorgeous views of the Eden Valley. They owners were very friendly and helpful.

Birkett barn is the perfect place to stay to get away from it all.

Beautiful barn and stunning scenery. There is a lovely walk right from the front door. A perfect getaway and we would highly recommend.

A beautifully appointed property set in idyllic scenery.

The instructions regarding finding the property are spot on, perhaps the use of "what3words" as an alternative would get you literally to the door. The kitchen was spacious with everything you might need. The week we were there was so hot the plumbed in fridge freezer with dispensed ice and cold water was a god send. The bedrooms were all comfortable, each with there own en-suite. Plus 2 additional toilets one up stairs and one down. A large spacious lounge upstairs allowed for family get togethers. The hot tub was the most used piece of equipment, each evening we relaxed in the spa, enjoying the tranquility of the scenery and on our last night watching a beautiful harvest moon rise over the hills. Overall a wonderful holiday providing memories for a lifetime.

This is a lovely and peaceful place.

The house waa amazing there was nothining needed even down to the little details. The owners were very nice and friendly. The kids lived in the hot tub next time we will have to come with out them to get our chance. I will recommed this place to everyone who wants to go to Cumbria. Waking up to the view waa a joy. Thank you to Malcom and his wife!!

Fantastic property.

Couldn’t fault the place. So spacious and immaculate throughout. Hosts very helpful. A lovely peaceful and scenic spot would highly recommend for those just wanting to get away away from it all.

My friends and I drove up here for my birthday.

Couldn't have asked for more. Every room was perfect, the kitchen and living room were huge and fit us all very comfortably. The outside was lovely, it's more or less in a farm so there's farm animals dotted around the area with stunning views. Hot tub was a lovely touch. The walking routes were great, and not far to nearby food/pubs.

A beautifully converted barn in a stunning setting.

Spacious, very high spec and everything you could need. Great hot tub (with a view!). Hosts really friendly and helpful and great place for children to roam and enjoy. Highly recommend.

Had a fantastic, very relaxing time in this converted barn.

it is very spacious and furnished to a very high standard with lovely personal touches and the hot tub is an added bonus .Amazing views makes you feel at one with nature , Malcom the owner has thought of everything all the information you need is in a a welcome pack and nothing was too much trouble would highly recommend it and hopefully be back soon .

We were all very happy with our stay, it was home from home for us.

We met Malcolm too, he was very pleasant and gave us directions for our walk and a suggestion of a place to eat, We couldn't fault our stay and would be happy to stay here again and will be recommending to family and friends. Our 1 suggestion would be an 11am check out just to give a little more time to get ready and for it to feel more relaxed before leaving. Other than that a 5 star stay for us.

Oh where do I start.

Was totally amazed from the moment we stepped into this amazing place. Everything about it was excellent and couldn’t have asked for more. The owner of the place was amazing also and was always a pleasure too talk with, gave us some lovely insight about the area and even helped us explore! The facilities provided are excellent and the whole house is beautifully presented! It was harder leaving the house because it was so comfy! Would definitely come back! Thank you for allowing us too have a great stay!

Birkett Barn was fantastic and in a wonderful setting, the barn has everything you need and is perfect for 4 couples.

Malcolm the owner is also very knowledgeable of the local area and great guy to talk to. We will definitely come back for a longer break.

Excellent accommodation.

The owners have thought of everything to make your stay memorable even a hot tub. What more could you ask ? Would have no hesitation in returning or recommending to friends .

Absolutely stunning location and beautiful property.

Everything you need is there and you are only an hour's stroll into Kirkby Stephen (if you feel the need to venture out). Had a great time thank you

Fantastic property and setting, it was perfect for us.

The hot tub was also a big hit with the children! My daughter really enjoyed feeding the horses and being near the animals. Thank you!

We had a fantastic time at Birkett Barn celebrating my husband's 60th birthday.

The house is very comfortable and well-equipped with everything you might need. The views are stunning and the best part was the fabulous hot-tub which we all enjoyed. We will definitely recommend it to others and hope to go again soon.

Amazing place & views Loved it!

Will be back! Excellently equipped & to a high standard. Thank You

We were a group of friends looking for a relaxing weekend, and this barn had all we needed and more!

Very well equipped with all you need, even down to the small touches like the provision of shampoo etc. The kitchen is amazing with loads of space. As is the cosy living room with reclining sofas. The upstairs bedrooms are very spacious with really comfy beds! The downstairs bedrooms are a lot smaller which isn’t an issue, but the comfort of the beds isn’t as good. Special thanks to Malc for picking up our takeaway!! Customer service was brilliant. We will definitely be back!

Amazing weekend.

The house is incredible, amazing location. Already booked again for November xx

A fantastic place to stay.

The barn had everything we needed and was so luxurious having 4 double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. The area was great for walks, sightseeing and the Settle - Carlisle trains. We would definitely book this accommodation again.

Amazing stay in a lovely, quiet location.

Perfect for a short breakaway! We had everything we needed, thank you.

fantastic property, very clean and finished to a very high standard.

In a lovely location for long walks in the dales. We were really impressed by the host's attention to detail- the kitchen had everything we needed and more, there were plenty of toilets and showers and the large kitchen, patio areas, and lounge were perfect for 8 guests.

Fantastic place to stay.

The barn was immaculate and catered for every need. Really enjoyed our break. Highly recommended.

The barn was superbly presented with everything you could ask for a fantastic stay.

The hot tub was a massive hit with the family. The views were sensational. The owners were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely book again.

We booked a long weekend away to celebrate a birthday.

The cottage was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations, which was a surprise to us all. The whole cottage was perfect! Fantastic large kitchen/diner and all the kitchen utensils you'd find at home. None of our party wanted to leave. The surrounding area was so peaceful, especially whilst chilling in the hot tub. There's not a thing we could fault. We would all return in a heatbeat Thank you!!

We had the best of times in this beautiful barn.

From the friendliest of welcomes to not wanting to leave! It’s perfect in every way. Spotlessly clean. Lots of little extras. Extremely cosy and comfortable. Amazing kitchen. Fabulous hot tub. The views are outstanding and I cannot recommend Birkett Barn highly enough.

Birkett Barn is an absolute stunner of a property.

Super clean with a very well stocked kitchen, oodles of room, every mod-con you’d want, beautiful location, and really friendly and helpful owners. I could offer nothing but high praise. Just a perfect holiday home with the wow factor in spades.

Absolutely fantastic stay, brilliant facilities, we loved it.

Already rebooked for next year. Thank you for a great holiday

House is amazing and all of the staff were really welcoming

The house has everything a family could need and is very comfortable.

So much to do locally and we loved being able to do some walks straight from the cottage. The hot tub was lovely once the kids were in bed! The host Malcolm was very helpful with anything we needed and gave good recommendations on where to eat. Thanks again for having us

Lovely place and beautiful scenery.

The owner was very friendly and was always ready to help. Good place and wouldn’t mind going back again.

We had a fantastic time at Birkett Farm!

! The house is absolutely stunning! The kitchen and living room are beautiful. We didn’t want to leave : ) The Hot Tub stole the show for us… we had such a great time in it with beautiful Cumbrian scenery during the day and an amazing star filled sky at night. The owner Malc was a really nice guy and it was a pleasure to meet him and his family. We would 100% book again!!

Couldn't fault the facilities, or experience top marks all round.

A very well equipped spacious property.

Beautiful countryside with walks straight from the front door. Highly recommend

Birkett Barn is the perfect holiday destination for a family.

It's push back comfortable sofas and plush carpets were enjoyed by all. With plenty of good movies available on 2 large screens and a state of the art kitchen we didn't want to leave. The hot tub was a nice bonus as well as the friendly host family and all the farm animals. A thoroughly enjoyable stay that we look forward to repeating.

The accommodation was of a very high standard.

It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into the layout of the property. The area itself is very calming with some great walks.

Great base for a family holiday, remote and quiet yet easily accessible to most Lake District attractions, the accommodation itself was clean, modern with a high standard of finishing yet felt homely and rural.

We had a lovely family holiday and would recommend this location.

Had a lovely break at Birkett barn,very clean and comfortable,big and spacious,made to feel very welcome.

couldn’t fault it at all.amazing views all around.hot tub very clean and lovely to relax in.we were a family of 6 and everyone of us loved it.would highly recommend it and will definitely be returning.
