  • "A lovely cottage in a quiet area with a short walk to the local pub, where you can enjoy a great meal."

    Cottage was well equipped but the only thing missing was a hairdryer. Hot tub was a great experience as it was under cover, so you could use this in any weather. Garden was well looked after and plenty of room for our dog to play. Lots to do in the wider area. Would recommend a stay

  • "Arrived with the family to celebrate my 40th, brothers 30th and mams 60ths."

    We had the best week for weather so spent lots of time in the garden. Very secure which was such a relief. Lots of toys there for the little ones and a lovely little football pitch for them to play on. House Very well equipped with literally everything you need. We had an issue with the freezer not freezing anything at the bottom but reported to Emma and replacement was ordered straight away. Rooms were hot but it was a heat wave everyday so house never had change to cool down. Some rooms had fans which definitely helped. Neighbour was lovely. Very helpful and maintained the garden etc to a good standard. There was a family in the cottage next door but you couldn't hear a thing. Would definitely return.

  • "This is a great find for south lakes holidays."

    Loads of space. Simple things like double the amount of crockery required means you could enjoy a meal and not worry. Every utensil you need is provided. The view from the hot-tub is like a framed 200" TV view of beautiful lake district hills. Close to Barrow if you need any shops. The local pub is great. Walking distance in 5 mins (exactly) with a good menu of home cooked food. Large portions and very friendly bar staff. The gardens are a great asset. Washing machine and tumble dryer worked well. The only very minor point to mention is that this is no outside tap for rinsing down wet suits/surfboard/dogs but we managed with a bucket from the downstairs utility room. We will come back again.

  • "We booked Bank End Barn for a family Christmas, 5 adults, 3 children and 3 dogs."

    We had a fantastic stay, the accommodation was lovely, stunning views and had so many personal touches such as a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations, which made it even more special and welcoming. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and everywhere was clean and tidy. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed and we were able to cook Christmas dinner for 8 of us without an issue. Having the whole family sitting around the beautiful kitchen table on Christmas Day was just perfect. The hot tub was another highlight and was enjoyed by both the adults and kids. The dogs also had fun swimming in the stream at the bottom of the garden. One thing to note is that the property is spread across 3 floors, the kitchen and living room is on the ground floor and the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the upper floor, and lower ground floor. One member of our family has mobility issues and getting up and down stairs can be a problem, although they managed for the duration of our stay, it is worth noting that although in the facilities list it states that there is a ground floor bedroom, which is why we booked the property, this is not actually the case. Even so it was just a minor issue and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  • "Same as last year when we stayed at bank end barn."

    We knew what to take with us to go along with what was already provided. Local pub the greyhound was as before a great place to drop in for a meal or just a few drinks after a long walk locally. Ulverston - 10 minutes or so away provided everything we could require food and drinks wise with a fantastic butcher, fish monger and lots of other outlets. A cruise along the lakes had to be repeated after last years jaunt and Bowness was a great wee town to visit again. All in all - again we had a great break and will very possibly be there again in the future.

    Everything was in fact more than expected and completely worth the money paid. Amazing and functional facilities , lovely views , gigantic hot tub, comfortable bedding, large fridge and a well maintained , well organised place of stay. Would indoubtly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to go Lake District as for the low price, it is by far the best cottage we have ever been to. Thank you once again for everything and we will definitely be booking again soon.

    We even saw a lovely moon rise from the hot tub. It was great that there were a few kids' toys and books in the property, and a nice bit of space for playing outside - there's also a play park within walking distance, just by the Greyhound Pub. Having stair gates in the property was also really useful. Thanks for a lovely stay, which was excellent value for money.

  • "Just returned from a week in this lovely cottage celebrating my husbands 60th Birthday."

    There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 2 dogs. The cottage had everything we needed to make it home from home. There was a slight hiccup when we first arrived with twin beds not being connected to make a Super King. I contacted Sykes Cottages at 5.55pm (when we arrived), they contacted the owner straight away, and called me back. By 6.20 the owner arrived, stripped the beds, and made into a super king! We were happy to wait until the next day, but nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service throughout. We visited Silecroft Beach and also many areas around the Lakes. Perfect location to explore the Western Lakes and Coastal paths. I feel the cottage would benefit from having access to the back of the house to take off muddy boots and coats and leave downstairs rather than stepping through the front door onto a lovely carpet. Would definitely recommend this cottage for a relaxing holiday with lovely views, clear skies to see the stars, and hot tub to top it all off!

The property

This character semi-detached cottage is set in the pretty village of Grizebeck bordering the Lake District National Park.

The cottage holds many original character features and is set in lovely countryside, making it a great place for a family get together or for groups of friends wishing to have an all action holiday or a quiet place to relax in the country.

On entry to the property you are in the hallway.

To the left is the galley-styled kitchen which is well-equipped to prepare some home-cooked meals to then enjoy on the large dining table at the end of the room; making it a great place to discuss plans for the day or to talk about that day’s adventures.

From here leads you into the spacious sitting room with plenty of comfy sofas to relax in, then leading back to the hallway.

When going upstairs the stairs split to either side, with a twin (zip/link can be super king-size on request) and a king-size double with TV on one side and a family room with three singles and a family bathroom on the other side.

The rest of the rooms are on the lower ground floor with a king-size double with TV and a sofa, a double bedroom as well as two shower rooms with basin and WC and a utility room.

From the lower ground floor, the door takes you out to the lovely enclosed back garden with a good-sized patio and furniture, making it a great place to dine alfresco or just sit out and enjoy the countryside.

There is also a hot tub to enjoy which is well-covered within a bespoke slate and oak style gazebo to protect against the elements.

Beyond the wall of the garden are further shared gardens with a natural pond area and stream running past which is great for spotting birds.

A short walk takes you into the village of Grizebeck which has one pub serving local ales and evening meals and the garage has a small shop inside for papers and essentials.

There are plenty of local walks in the area ranging from woodland walks to fell walks.

A few minutes’ drive takes you to the village of Kirkby-in-Furness which is home to a general store, pubs and a railway station.

The magnificent Duddon Valley is one of the prettiest valleys in the Lake District with the River Duddon running clear and blue through the countryside.

Visit the market town of Ulverston which still holds a street market every Thursday or Saturday or take a trip to the Laurel and Hardy museum for something different.

Further afield is Coniston Water with its’ many mountains and fells to explore.

For a great day out take a visit to Windermere with a vast range of attractions, amenities, shops and restaurants to suit all tastes.

Boats trips are available as well as a visit to Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway also to be enjoyed.

Whatever you decide to do, Bank End Barn is a superb place to enjoy a wonderful holiday at any time of the year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
