“Lovely place with amazing views.”

The owner is lovely and leaves you to it but is available whenever you need them, which is perfect.

“Some friends and I had a great week with Ash Pot Barn as our base.”

Very luckily we had great weather, but even without that, the barn was exactly what we were looking for. Some of us walked locally, some drove to the lakes, some days we explored the northern dales. Whatever we did during the day, the barn was a cozy and spacious place to spend the evening together, with everything you need to hand. It's in a beautiful, secluded location meaning you really get that "away from it all" feeling. And don't be put off by negative feedback about the owners. Because of Covid (from your point view and theirs) they're not going to impose themselves on you but if your paths cross, as our did, you'll find them friendly and welcoming. Recommended.

“Ash pot barn, is in the most beautiful place!”

The veiws are amazing! You are in the country side, with sheep and cows as your neighbours. The barn it’s self is well equipped and clean. The dishwasher wasn’t working very well tho, so washing up it was but wasn’t a problem. Do expect some webs and spiders every now and then you are in the country side! A washing machine was supplied, BUT no where available to dry the clothes, we used hangers and hang them in the windows, but would be good to have a washing line! There is no WiFi, and going with teenagers was a concern before we went but we always had 4g which was good. You are a drive away from the main places to visit Windermere was about 27miles, but the drive is worth it to return back to ash pot barn. About 4 min drive is a pub, the fat lamb! The food was amazing! Lush garden. The owners live next door but never saw or heard anything all week. The barn is big and loads of room, we went as 9 people two family’s! And had more than enough room. Well recommended and would return

“The pictures do not do this place justice.”

It is very beautiful both inside and outside. The location is wonderful. If you are looking for a peaceful and quite location this is for you. The owners (who live next door) were not very friendly and did not speak to us all week, maybe there were rightly concerned with Covid 19, which was not an issue. I can highly recommend this holiday let.

Mrs Knibbs August 2018

“The views surrounding the property exceeded our expectations they were amazing.”

The cottage was lovely and very spacious and I can imagine during winter with the log fire going it would be lovely and cosy. If we were to go again we would need to remember hand soap for the bathrooms as there was none provided, which was not good after a 4 hour drive and 3 young children desperate for the loo. Overall we had a fantastic time.

- Mrs Knibbs, August 2018

Mr Bosch June 2014

“We love walking and hiking and visiting small towns so Ash Pot Barn was perfect - enough space for 9 of us and close to the things we wanted to do.”

The cottage was great - big open kitchen and living room, enough bathrooms, and warm rustic décor. My girls loved the old spinning wheel.

- Mr Bosch, June 2014
Mr Moosavian June 2014

A FlipKey verified reviewer January 2014

“In the middle of nowhere..”

This was exactly what we wanted, plenty of room,warm,isolated in this wonderful part of Cumbria! Owners live next door but were very discreet, much appreciated. Lacked coat pegs for anoraks etc and perhaps a DVD player when weather bad as it was for us for a week!

“This was our second visit to Ash Pot Barn.”

It is the perfect location for anyone who wants to get away from it all. The setting is remote and quiet and the views are fantastic. When we were there the weather was awful but it was still a comfortable and relaxing place to be.

Mrs Hartley April 2011

“We loved the location and being able to walk straight out onto the hills.”

It was useful having the owner next door just in case you needed anything. The cottage was very attractive and we particularly liked the open plan kitchen/dining room/sitting room. The bedrooms were comfortable and the 3 bathrooms very useful with a big group.

“Great stay at ash Pot Barn”

I stayed at ash Pot Barn with 6 other ladies. We had a great time. We couldnt fault our stay in anyway. We would definatley return, especially in Summer as it has a great BBQ area overlooking the Fells, But was cosy in the winter when we went. We walked to the Fat Lamb pub which took about 1 hour 10 mins. Secluded location but perfect for relaxing and staying in, great kitchen/living area. Bedrooms spacious and everywhere very clean.

It was so peaceful. The inside of the barn was fantastic. We were a group of three families and we had plenty of space for everyone.

We will come again without a doubt.

“Ravenstonedale Review”

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was comfortable and well laid out. Very clean and newly decorated. Bedrooms would benefit from a little more furniture. The drive was quite steep but fine once we got used to it. Liked the open plan living area and the modern bathrooms best. Liked Spartan bedrooms least but they were clean. Scenery beautiful. Good walking straight from the door. The owners were very helpful.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2009

- Miss Keenan, September 2009
Mr Willson August 2009

“A beautiful place to stay, perfect surroundings - we were looking for a property right out in the middle of nowhere.”

.. which was what we got. The view of all the hills was much better than hoped, and the icing on the cake was the small waterfall at the end of the road. It's within reasonable distance to most "must see" attractions etc in the Lake District.

- Mr Willson, August 2009
Mr Garnham August 2009

“The cottage was in the most beautiful setting.”

The surrounding area was unspoilt with sheep, horses and other animals roaming free. The peace was amazing. The accommodation was spacious and well thought out. We have never had a cottage holiday before and had never been to Cumbria but we would recommend it in a heartbeat.

- Mr Garnham, August 2009
Mrs Sangha July 2009

“Property overall and location was excellent.”

“The setting was wonderful; open views across the valley.”

A lovely peaceful area, considering it was a school holiday it was a breath of fresh air compared to the Lake District. The cottage was very well appointed, everything was there that we needed, with the exception of a washing machine. Overall a lovely cottage, in a great location!

- Mr Mitchell, May 2009

- Ms Dennis, December 2008
Mr & Mrs Wasti October 2008

“The location of the property was ideal for our needs.”

I'm a strong believer in never going to the same place twice as it's a big world and having stayed in various cottages throughout Cumbria I have never returned to the same cottage. Ash Pot Barn may be the exception to the rule.

- Mr & Mrs Wasti, October 2008

About the location

RAVENSTONEDALE

Kirkby Stephen 5 miles; Sedbergh 10 miles.

The tranquil village of Ravenstonedale lies at the foot of the Howgill Fells, quietly situated within the newly extended Yorkshire Dales National Park. A delightful rural village with a thriving local community and many traditional old dwellings, Ravenstonedale boasts a charming Parish Church and the remains of the old Gilbertine Priory. Hill farming is the principal means of income in the area and an agricultural show is still held once a year, echoing days gone by when both markets and fairs were held in the village. Once described by the famous author, A Wainwright, as one of Westmorland’s loveliest villages, the area boasts many walking, horse riding and cycling routes, whilst the nearby attractions provide something for everybody. Visit the Settle to Carlisle Railway Line, the magnificent Howgill Fells and the stunning Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks. A superb location at any time of the year.
