Old Stable

We stayed at the Old Stable for a week with our three daughters & husbands/boyfriend and two babies and it was perfect!

Helen was so helpful and kind in preparing for our arrival. Accommodation was beautiful, spotless and the kitchen had absolutely everything we could have needed and more for all meals to be prepared to feed eight adults. So many little details and extra bits which made our stay so nice and easy. A gorgeous place to hang out together inside and out given the great weather we had for our week. Couldn’t have found a better place and would highly recommend!

This property wowed us from the minute we pulled through the gates.

Stunning location and the house was perfect for our busy mums girly getaway. Furnished to such a high classy standard it felt like luxury. Absolutely everything we needed and more inside the house. The owners were so lovely and helpful. Can’t recommend this beautiful property enough. Thank you .

Despite the wet and windy weather, we had a wonderful time at the Old Stable.

We were a party of seven aging friends, meeting up together from across the country. The accommodation is outstanding and met our every need: comfortable living area (we spent a lot of time there), excellent bedrooms and en suites and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The very generous hamper was much appreciated. All in all a delightful place to while away the hours and keep out of the rain! Thank you Helen and Mark for thinking of everything.

The Old Stable is a beautiful house with everything you need for a meet up or celebration with friends or family.

We loved the renovation and style of the property - you can see so much thought has gone into it. The hot tub was a hit with my 7 year old granddaughter- we went in on the last day of our holiday and she said it was the best day of her life. The house is well equipped but I wish I could have obtained more information before we came about what was there. I had to enquire of Sykes about coffee making facilities which took sometime to find out how to get in touch as my booking page on their Web site wasn't any use. I eventually got to do a text chat but that was after several attempts to make contact. As an order person I would prefer yo speak to a human! I only got the owners contact details on the day we were travelling there - it would have been easier to ask question of them directly before coming. I'm not impressed with Sykes as a company with regards to easy of communication but very happy with The Old Stsble as a place to stay. I also can't understand the pricing structure as next ear for the same period is £208 cheaper. I have emailed Sykes about this but again their communication leaves a lot to be desired! I'm not sure what they did for their £70 admin fee!!!! Wouldn't book via Sykes ever again but would go back to The Old Stable.

Perfect in every way.

Fantastic house, we loved celebrating our friends birthday here. The house had everything we needed. The owners were lovely and helpful when needed. Would definitely recommend!

Really lovely cottage in a great location with beautiful views and attentive, helpful hosts.

This property is a real gem and is finished to such a high standard.

The open plan living and kitchen area is large and comfortable. The kitchen is one of the most well equipped we have come across, the huge double fridge is a real bonus. The beds are really comfy, and the ensuite bathrooms are great. The hot tub is spotless, over the years we have had issues with cleanliness and chemical levels in the hot tubs, but this one was perfect. Overall the whole house was absolutely spotless, there wasn't a single thing that looked tired or in need of replacing, the 5 star rating is well earned. We asked the host Helen if there were any nice local walks. She gave us options and directions which were really useful, we walked along Birkrigg onto Trigg point and the 360 views were fantastic. We also ventured into Ulverston to 'The Farmers' for sunday lunch, which was amazing. Overall this property ticked all the boxes for us, we had a brilliant weekend and would definitely return.

I stayed here with 7 friends for my 30th birthday, the place was just as expected, spotless warm and welcoming!

We had a lovely weekend and felt very cosy and relaxed, the beds were very comfortable and the house had everything we needed! Would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend! Thank you :-)

Lovely property in an ideal location.

Owners go above and beyond.

A beautiful place with everything you need on hand.

Hot tub was lovely and was well used every night. The only downside was the wake up by the near by building work but everything else was perfect.

We’re just back from a lovely week at the old stable.

The house was spotless and had plenty of space for the 7 of us, and is packed with everything you could need, from the incredibly well equipped kitchen, to en-suites and smart tvs in all bedrooms. Helen and Mark were great hosts, ensuring we were settled in and answered any queries we had. The location is about a 10 min drive from Ulverston with plenty of shops there to stock up or just wander around. The beach is walkable about 10-15 mins away, via a public footpath through the field up the road. Overall a fantastic break.

Excellent high quality holiday home with lots of lovely touches.

Lovely location, with lots to see and do. A lovely base for exploring the lakes

The accommodation was great, very spacious, finish was lovely and the whole place was very well equipped especially in the kitchen.

We did feel that 4pm check in was a bit late given check out was 10am and would have liked to be able to check in at 3pm which is usual for this type of place. Would definitely return to the accommodation.

The property is absolutely stunning & we'll definitely return.

Wish we’d stayed longer.

Property was very nice and clean, had wonderful weekend with family, hot tub was nice hot.

Everything is 10 out of 10

Came for a girls weekend away, house was amazing!

Everyone commented on how fabulous it was. The house was immaculate everything you needed was there, nice touch that there was books and a cupboard full of games. Will definitely book again!

This property is amazing - perfect location into anything you might want to sight see in the Lakes but also has everything you could ever need right in the cottage that you don’t want to leave.

We especially loved that every room had its own bathroom & the open plan living / kitchen area which was perfect for hosting. Thanks so much for a great stay & keeping in touch to make sure everything was running smooth!

My nursing friends & I stayed for the weekend, it was absolutely fabulous.

Really lovely house, warm & modern with really good facilities. The owner thought of everything, a basket of goodies for us, the fire was on when we arrived & a very well equipped kitchen. Couldn't recommend it enough for people to go & stay & explore the area.

What an absolutely amazing house.

We loved our stay and will definitely be booking again. It was so clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a fantastic week away.

I don't know where to begin with this, but this house exceeded all expectations and believe me when I say they were high to begin with.

We stayed here over Christmas and it was so nicely decorated that we felt right at home and didn't feel like we were away from home for Christmas. We had everything that we could possibly have needed and Helen checked in with us a day after arrival to check all was ok and that we had everything we needed. Nothing is too far away in the car and it is really quite nice to be set away from the business of everything else. Thank you so much for such a memorable stay!

A gorgeous property, immaculately presented, very good communication from owner.

It was a perfect stay for 8 of us on our annual Christmas cottage weekend. It was decorated very tastefully for Christmas which was lovely. Would definitely return.

We had an amazing 3 days at the property.

The house was clean, warm and was decorated to a high standard, even had fresh flowers. Instructions were clear and parking good. Beds were comfy and showers hot and powerful. We used the hot tub everyday and everything outside was clean with a good level of maintenance we highly recommend.

We booked the accommodation to celebrate a special birthday, it was brilliant, the facilities were first class, everything was immaculate and a fully equipped kitchen etc, Helen and Mark couldn't do enough to make sure we had an amazing time.

An absolutely beautiful cottage with high spec furniture and fittings.

Very comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms. The setting and location was perfect. We had a very enjoyable stay. The lovely owners are on hand to give any help required. We would highly recommend this cottage.

We booked this lovely house for a hen party - group of 7 girls and it did not disappoint.

The house is fabulous, spotless and well equipped. The owners were lovely - great communication throughout! We did lots of activities nearby - we enjoyed a lovely walk down the beach, a spa day and firework display at the swan hotel and spa, a lovely roast dinner at the famers baycliff and we had a private chef for the Saturday evening - real food chefs. It was a great weekend away, would recommend :D

Wonderful Stay at Old Stable – Highly Recommended!

We had an incredible stay at Old Stable, just outside Ulverston. The accommodation is modern yet cozy, with high ceilings, exposed beams, and underfloor heating throughout. The bedrooms are all ensuite with smart TVs, and the beds were so comfortable that I slept perfectly every night – something I rarely experience away from home! The fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed, and the welcome basket filled with treats was a lovely touch. The private hot tub was perfect for relaxing in the evenings, and the ample parking male things easy for groups. Communication with the owners was excellent, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a peaceful, comfortable getaway in the South Lakes, Old Stable is a fantastic choice!

What an amazing place to stay!

The Stables it outstanding and the reviews were spot on. Fab location not too far from anywhere near but still quiet and surrounded by great countryside. The attention to detail for it being a 'home' is just great. It is extremely spacious and fitted our families needs perfectly. The Wi-Fi was great throughout the house. The house is lovely and warm and we had the fire on but not for heat just because it was beautiful. There is everything you could ever need in the house. Beds are so comfy and everything has that luxurious touch. Plenty of games which we loved and played. Helen and Mark are really lovely and so welcoming. Best welcome pack we have ever had and great to open cupboards and you find salt, pepper etc. There is a hot tub and bbq but we never used them. Definitely have a visit to The Farmers in Baycliff, delicious meal with brilliant staff. Great to have in-depth instructions for the appliances etc. We will definitely be back. Honestly one of the best homes we have stayed in!

An amazing stay at the Old Stable for a girls weekend away.

What a stunning home, such a beautiful place, built and decorated to the highest standard in a lovely setting. The Old Stable was equipped with literally everything needed and all the little finishing touches such as towels, toiletries, kitchen essentials and a welcome hamper were an added bonus. The old stable is in a fab location, we had a stroll down the road and along the beach to a local pub, The Farmers Baycliff were we had a few drinks and some lovely food then we got a taxi ride back. Lots of fun was had, relaxing in the beautiful home, chilling in the hot tub & catching up with friends. Thank you to Helen and Mark for being such fab hosts also, great communication and being on hand if we needed anything at all. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back again sometime!

Beautiful accommodation with everything you could possibly need (with the exception of sun sadly) Immaculately clean in all areas.

Made full use of the hot tub even in the rain, which was great. The local roads were quiet which made them ideal for cycling, There were 10 of us between the two accommodations on site . Our only comment would be that although the Stable and Cottage are on the same site to get from one to the other you have to walk a short way on the main road. We all had a lovely week and would definitely return.

We just had the most amazing week away staying at The Old Stable.

The property was the most beautiful house we have ever seen. Mark and Helen were wonderful, we had a beautiful gift basket on arrival, they could not do enough for us including fitting a stairgate last minute and bringing round a football goal from their own garden for the kids to play with. The house is perfect for families, with plenty of space, enclosed garden and indoor and outdoor games to use. We will 100% be returning!!

Myself and 7 friends stayed for the weekend for my birthday and had the best time !

The location and house itself was beautiful, Helen and Mark were lovely hosts and were very helpful if we needed anything. Absolutely perfect stay, couldn’t have asked for anything better, Thank you both!!

Absolutely beautiful property in a fantastic location.

Me and my friends were visiting for a weekend break and could not have been happier with the accommodation. Would highly recommend visiting The Old Stable if you are ever visiting Cumbria or the Lake District! Big shout out to Helen and Mark who were very helpful throughout our stay. Excellent communication and responsive. Thank you again!

Stayed at the old stable for a girly weekend away, location was perfect, the house was unbelievable and Helen was so lovely.

We received bubbles chilled in the fridge on arrival a welcome basket with so many goodies. The hot tub was amazing and the house was spotless all 8 of the girls were thrilled by the venue will definitely be back thank you Helen & mark xx

Absolutely beautiful home in an amazing area.

Would highly recommend and had the most incredible stay. Thank you!

A beautiful property, we had a fantastic short stay at the old stable.

The owners were there on hand should we have needed anything. We visited with children from 11 months - 8 years everything was safe and clean. The house had all little cupboard extras in should you have forgotten anything. We would definitely highly recommend anyone to visit the old stable. Thank you, we’ll hopefully see you in the near future!

This place is amazing, it lived up to its photos and more, any one booking the old stables will not be disappointed, nothing was to much trouble for Helen and Mike

We read the reviews but thought ‘It sounds amazing but probably won’t be quite as wonderful as that’.

We were wrong. It was even better! EVERYTHING was as folk said - simply FAB-U-LOUS. Wonderfully furnished with such lovely comfy, sink into sofas and with equally comfortable, padded dining chairs you could sit on all morning. The beds, SO very comfortable and the whole house a perfect temperature with the ground source heating and with no nasty drafts. There was a beautiful vase of roses (real!) and a basket of goodies to greet us on arrival PLUS a bottle of bubbly in the fridge! Mark and Helen (the owners) are delightful and so helpful. The weather was not too good for our 3 night stay, having timed it perfectly to coincide with a deep depression, but we were very cosy and with games in the drawers and a large screen Smart TV (HDMI cable provided) plus TVs in every bedroom, all of which worked perfectly. We even tried the hot tub in the strong NW wind and it was bliss. Everything anyone needs to know is in the ‘How to’ folder which was on the table and we can thoroughly recommend the first pub we tried - the Farmers’ Arms - just 1.5 miles away which serves fantastic food at very reasonable prices. We weren’t there long enough to try any others. Last thing to say is don’t do what I did and hunt for a kettle. The kitchen has the very latest in hobs and modern appliances with a massive fridge PLUS the tap on the sink has an amazing device which dispenses boiling water, instantly! If you’ve never seen one, the instructions are in the folder on the table and, if I can do it, anyone can! We shall be back.

Had a great weekend, the property was amazing Mark and Helen were super helpful and welcoming helped us with anything we needed.

Would definitely recommend!

This is a really great house, excellent facilities, beautifully decorated, well looked after.

It's also in a really nice location. I have already recommended it to friends and family and I would definitely go back.

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful location.

Very clean, well furnished and equipped; friendly hosts.

The property was absolutely stunning the owner had left a beautiful welcome hamper for us ☺️ .

We were a group of 7 ladies celebrating a 30th birthday and the birthday girl was well impressed with her stay , as well as the rest of the group. Highly recomend .

Wow!

Needs 6 ticks not 5. The most amazing holiday home we have ever stayed in. The quality, finish and attention to detail by the owners is incredible and so much thought and attention to detail has gone into this property and it’s renovation. The bedrooms feel like luxury hotels, the furniture and furnishings are high quality and the kitchen has everything you could ever need. Underfloor heating leaves the property toasty at all times. A lovely welcome basket with treats, wine, fizz and fresh roses was a lovely touch. The outdoor space and hot tub is great with a safe enclosed area overlooking fields. A peaceful place but within easy reach of shops, pubs, the beach and beyond. We had an amazing week at The Old Stable, the owners were great and hope to come and stay again.

Such a wonderful stay from start to finish.

Cottage owner was so lovely and accommodating checking in making sure we had everything we needed . Could not fault anything and will most certainly choose to stay here again. Xx

This property exceeded all of our expectations!

We had absolutely everything we needed for the stay and more. Little touches were considered, for example ice, straws, additional blankets and games. The private location was great and was only a 10-minute drive to local supermarkets. I stayed with a group of 8 to celebrate my 24th Birthday and it was perfect. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and I will definitely be coming back soon. Thank you for having us!

Cannot fault this property, beautiful house and well maintained.

We had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend with no stress and really appreciated the little touches such as the hamper. The property was spotless and had a very warm and cosy feel. Hot tub was great -just a note to bring extra towels for hot tub! Private area but was 10 mins away from supermarkets which was handy, 45 min to Windermere, We had a really great time staying here and would love to return at a later date

We chose this property because it was advertised with everything we were looking for: 4 generously sized bedrooms, all with ensuites; open plan kitchen, dining and living space, meaning we could spend Christmas here and whether you were playing games at the table, cooking in the kitchen, or chilling on the sofa we were all together; and with the bonus of the hot tub, which was enjoyed by all.

The owners Helen and Mark were very helpful and accommodating allowing us early access to the property and ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay. Cannot recommend this property enough. Would happily stay here again.

Had a lovely stay at the Old Stable , very quiet and relaxed week.

Mark gave us a few tips on things to see and do and Pubs to visit which was most welcome. Would highly recommend and we will return.

We had such a lovely stay here.

The place was immaculate and had all the facilities and extras you would need for a great trip. It is perfect for a girls weekend away with a really warm large hot tub right by the front door and beautiful rooms with ensuites. We loved it!

Amazing cottage with a beautiful open plan kitchen living area and nice bedrooms.

Exactly as shown on the website. One of the best cottages we’ve booked. The owners were absolutely lovely and helpful also. Will definitely be back.

What a beautiful stable we had the best time, made great memories with our family

What a fantastic property, we were blown away when we arrived.

The property has been renovated to the highest specification, and is immaculate throughout. We had 4 adults and 2 children for our trip and there was plenty of space for all of us. There are 4 bedrooms, all en-suite, and all with TV's, which meant we could all go back to our rooms whenever we felt like it. The garden is secure, so we could let the kids play outside without worrying about them escaping, and it also backs onto a a farm field where we could see the sheep running around. The property is equipped with everything you could possibly need, and there are clear instructions on how to use everything. The owners, Helen and Mark were lovely too, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The location was perfect for us too, close to the zoo, the steam train, and not too far from Windemere. Plenty of shops nearby too. We hope to see you again soon Helen and Mark, we will definitely be staying again.

We had a fantastic weeks holiday at the old stables.

The property was beautiful the owners are very helpful. Cooking facilities were excellent the hamper was a lovely touch. Will definitely be back.

We have just returned from a weekend stay at the Old Stable.

We stayed Friday to Sunday with a group of girlies to celebrate a 50th birthday. We were contacted by Helen before arrival to ensure we had everything we needed and they also allowed us to check in earlier as the rental was ready, which was nice as we could set up some decorations. The rental was well equipped and one of the most equipped rentals I have stayed in. The Old Stable has been renovated to a high standard and excellent quality. Each room has its own bathroom and they have excellent finishes and have little toiletries (great quality products). There are USB ports by the sockets of beds, for charging mobiles, sound bar to play music, the hot tub was ready and great temp, the rental inside and out was immaculate. The kitchen had everything you needed including tea towels, foil, cling film, there wasn't anything we needed. Too much to mention. We also arrived to a Hamper of Wine, Fizz, nuts, biscuits and fugde and fresh roses in a vase. The Old Stable really felt homely and Helen and Mark (who live next door) where lovely and provided additional information about the nearby areas. Loved this place and we will be looking to book again as a family holiday early next year. We all had a fantastic time, even though the weather wasn't too great on the Saturday, it didn't impact or dampen our stay.

Amazing location and Property, pictures don't do it justice.

We made some beautiful memories here would highly recommend it

An outstanding property.

Our group was six adults and three children and we were all able to enjoy comfortable and spacious bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. The owners were close-by and available if necessary. The Old Stable is a cresit to them. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend it.

Fabulous accommodation, with great location.

Very clean and fresh, hot tub was perfect and got used plenty. House really had everything you could possibly need. On site parking was very handy! We will 100% be returning again soon.

Everything was lovely.

Place was clean and very spacious. We enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend everyone.

WOW!

!! This is the best property we have ever stayed in. The facilties are 5 star, the beds were very comfortable. The owner has thought of your every need and nothing is too much trouble. Whilst it felt homely, the modern appliances were soooo much better than home, so to have this level of luxury meant it felt a special break. Stayed as two families and because of the en suites, always had our own space and evey bedroom felt like the master bedroom, although the master was stunning!!! It is on main road but due to the electric gates, the garden was completely enclosed ensuring the childrens safety at all times, allowing us to relax. There are two beach areas close by for access to Morecambe Bay. We always drove off as we had small children and walking along road didn't seem the best idea. We felt Barrow had more to offer than Ulverston for kids but also 30 mins from Lake Windermere for a boat trip, mooch around and an ice cream. We would highly recommend this property.

We stayed at this property over the May bank holiday and we had a great time start to finish.

The location was brilliant, it was quiet and peaceful but also not too far away from pubs, the beach and lake Windermere. The property was amazing. Modern decor and rooms, all clean and facilitating. The house was well equipped with appliances such as coffee machines, dishwasher etc and also towels, extra pillows and even shower items. The beds were really comfortable and spacious. Our favourite part of the trip was the hot tub, this is a great addition to the property and was very relaxing. Owners were really accommodating even leaving us some snacks and drinks for our trip. We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back!

We are so happy we found this property, as fantastic as the photos are that show the high standard of the finish truly do not do it justice.

The property has been finished to an exceptionally high standard above and beyond what you’d expect. Every room was comfortable, and fully functional! Our stay was truly faultless, the service from the owner was friendly, helpful and easy. They were both very friendly and welcoming. We had an amazing stay at the Old Stable and will be returning again in the future.

The house was absolutely wonderful.

The hot tub and patio is south facing and so gets gorgeous sun all afternoon. We had an absolutely fabulous weekend and the hosts were absolutely brilliant.

What can I say about this place other than WOW!

!!! From the moment you arrive you are immersed in total luxury and comfort. The kitchen diner is something to behold with high quality finishes all around you and a lovely welcome basket of treats. The bedrooms are beautiful, all with en suite bathrooms and their own TV’s. The hot tub directly outside the front door was ready to go on arrival at a wonderfully welcoming 40 degrees. The owners have spared no expense to make your holiday relaxing, comfortable and memorable. I would have no hesitation when booking this house and would definitely return in the future as it is simply the perfect place to stay, Thank You!!!!

Easter family break.

The weather wasn’t kind during our stay but that didn’t dampen our mood when we had such a stunning place to stay and enjoy some R and R. The property had the wow factor for us, very clean and everything you need to enjoy a luxury break. We managed a trip to the lakes and conquered the climb to scafell pike during our visit. The owners were on hand to answer any questions and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend the local pub, Farmers, for food. Hope to come back and be able to enjoy the hot tub some more. Thanks for having us .

Had a wonderful girls weekend at the Old Stable.

It’s a beautiful property and truly is a home away from home. Every detail is taken care of, we even discovered a cupboard full of games! The bed linen was absolutely divine, as was the underfloor heating! No expense has been spared on the fixtures, fittings and furniture. We’re already planning on when we can go back. We’ve stayed in lots of similar priced holiday homes and this was the nicest one by far. Great location with the best of both the sea and the Lake District and easy to find and ample parking. Oh and the hot tub was the icing on the cake!

A stunning barn conversion Everywhere is clean and tidy with a well equipped kitchen.

The beds are very comfortable with good quality bed linen and towels. It is a great base for exploring the Lake District area. The owners were very helpful but not intrusive. A well deserved 5 star / perfect rating

Amazing place to stay.

Everything was spot on and in such a beautiful setting. Thank you to Helen and Mark, we all had great fun!

We stayed at the old stable for 3 nights and it was amazing.

Beautiful property and the owners didn’t miss a thing. We couldn’t have wished for a better place. Very clean, tidy and modern. Owners were very helpful and were there if we needed anything. Will definitely be booking to come back again. 10/10 for everything, it’s just what we hoped for and more.

We stayed over New Years, the property is beautiful, facilities were incredible and we had a lovely visit!

There is nothing negative to say, we honestly weren’t expecting it to be as lovely as it was. The owners have thought about every little detail, the kitchen is stocked well, the property is well and comfortably furnished and every bedroom having en-suites was a real positive for us! The property is a short distance from the Lake District, and there are plenty of pubs and shops locally. We went to the farmers for a meal, which is less than 5 minutes drive, it was superb!

We loved our stay in this delightful property which was tastefully decorated / furnished throughout to a high standard.

The owners have thought of everything with those extra special touches that make you feel so welcome. So if you are looking for an exceptional property in a tranquil location where you want for nothing, then this is the place for you.

Gorgeous place with no expense spared on the facilities.

Very welcoming in a lovely location. Feel privileged to be the first guests in this wonderful barn conversion. I could not find fault in this place and would very much go again as well as recommend highly to anyone looking.
