The Garden Suite at Fiddler Hall Barn

Very comfortable, beautiful place.

Clean with every item you could need and beyond. Thoughtful and welcoming hosts. Not many places we'd choose to go back to but we would here.

Lovely place in a good location.

Everything you would need is available. Had 7 nice days as the weather was good.

Really comfortable accommodation, everything was spot on.

The owners Gill and Phil were extremely helpful. The welcome essentials were very much appreciated. The garden is beautiful and the view lovely. Well placed to reach local attractions.

We spent a week at the garden suite .

Philip and Gill gave us a warm welcome ( helped by sone lovely welcome provisions including home made marmalade and a bottle of wine

We had a lovely stay, the property was clean and comfortable, with lovely hosts.

On arrival the owners were in the garden and introduced themselves.

Which was very welcoming. Once entered the property which was was beautiful inside and out. There was fresh bread bottle of wine local marmalade. Which was really nice thought and was very nice

Fantastic stay, so comfortable with amazing views from the patio.

All amenities that you could think of. Great bathroom with spacious bath and shower. We can’t wait to come back again.

Perfect!

! One of the best places we have stayed in and we’ve stayed in a lot! So beautiful, immaculately clean and peaceful, with amazing views from both front and back gardens! It’s an awesome base to explore south lakes from and we were about a 5-10 min drive from many attractions and walks but away from the hustle and bustle at the same time. Only downside - if that - would be that we would have loved to have met the hosts, especially as all the previous reviews mentioned how lovely they are! Nevertheless, we hope to be back one day (it’s very rare we say that about anywhere we’ve stayed)!

The place was beautiful and clean.

The Host was there to welcome us and checked to see how we were in between. It’s in a beautiful area so I would definitely recommend it, perfect place for the 2.

A truly delightful experience at this residence where Philip was exceedingly helpful in an unintrusive manner.

When you turned onto Back Lane from the A590, each map app asked you to turn right approximately one hundred yards prior to the turn towards the accommodation. I would strongly recommend this property as a great place for a relaxing break and will definitely return in the future. Ian Smith. 15th Nov to 22nd Nov 2025

The cottage was clean and comfortable, set in spectacular gardens.

The owners were friendly, helpful but not intrusive. There was plenty of information, maps and walking routes of the area as it is an ideal base for walking. My only minor criticism concerns eating arrangements. The breakfast bar in the kitchen is OK for breakfast, but I prefer a table for the evening meal. We visited in mid October so not possible to eat outside where there is garden furniture. A small table inside would be lovely. Pam

We loved our stay in the Garden Suite.

Very clean, cosy and comfortable with everything you might need. Phil & Gill are great hosts and we could not have asked for more. The gardens on both sides of the cottage are beautifully kept and a joy to see. We are very happy to recommend this property to others - it is one of the best we have stayed in.

The Garden Suite is a rare gem.

Super clean & comfortable and oh so quiet

Top property and top people.

Thanks Gill and Phil

The accomodation was excellent, very comfortable and had every thing you need to hand.

Gill & Phil make you very welcome and they are extremely helpful. We recommend this gorgeous holiday home and we will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent, spacious, beautifully decorated property.

Light and airy, every comfort and surrounded by the most beautiful gardens. Owners very friendly, We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

The property was as it said on the tin - plus the added bonus of a stunning back garden and view of the fells to look at from the rear patio.

The property owners were excellent in communication and we met Phil who was extremely helpful and always interested in what we'd been doing. We knew the area from living in the Dales but our week away gave us the opportunity to explore more and come across new delights. We've stayed in a large number of properties and this one falls into a select group of those we'd seriously consider returning to. Thankyou.

This property is very comfortable, everything is to a high standard, well equipped and has stunning views.

The owner is very friendly and has some good tips regarding places to visit which was much appreciated. We would definitely like to come again.

the owners of the garden suite at fiddler hall barn have done a fantastic job of making us very welcome the llittle touches they had left for us as a bottel of wine coffee sugar milk and many other little things where much appreciated the setting of the barn doesn't do it justice in the advert the owners have created a beautiful garden being where the barn is situated it's only a short drive to catch the boat on lake windermere will definitely will come back .

An outstanding property in a lovely location.

The owners had gone above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Lovely extras not expected on arrival. A very welcoming comfortable cottage. The gardens are beautiful and the property benefits from two outdoor seating areas with stunning views and a beautiful garden. We could not recommend this property highly enough. A***

We had a lovely relaxing stay at The Garden Suite.

The property was in a good location, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well equipped - the owners have thought of everything! Speaking of which, they seemed lovely and were on hand if needed. Would definitely stay here again if returning to the area.

What a great place to stay, quite comfortable & a little home from home.

A bath & separate shower was a real bonus for us. The Venue is very central & we were able to visit everywhere we wanted to from there. The owners were easily accessible if anything was required. I highly recommend this place.

A really lovely cottage, with all you could need for a few days stay.

Great location for exploring the “south lakes area”

Lovely little cottage.

Perfect for what we wanted. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back again sometime.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Garden Suite, fantastic accommodation, Phil and Gill lovely hosts, will definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Phil and Gill were very helpful and provided us with an extra table because my wife's bad back meant she couldn't sit at the breakfast bar.

Excellent holiday cottage, spotlessly clean, everything catered for and in a fantastic location.

Ideally placed for wandering around the Lake District

Our first visit to the garden suite!

! Couldn’t have asked for any more! The owners have thought of everything! The views and the garden outside our window were absolutely amazing. 10/10 from us!

The Garden Suite was the perfect place to stay on our first visit to the lakes.

The property is well situated for exploring the area and is a wonderfully cosy retreat to come home to after a day walking. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and could not have hoped for a better holiday. The hosts Gill and Phil were welcoming and friendly while giving us space to enjoy our holiday but were on hand if we needed anything.

Everything was amazing.

It had all the amenities possible and more, and Philip and Gill were lovely and so helpful.

The welcome was first class, the rooms spotless and the owner was easily contactable if needed.

My only concern as an older person is that the sofa is too low to the floor and so very hard to get out of - please could you consider raising it on blocks - easily available - to make sure that it is truly comfy for all. Weather was mixed but we still had a very good holiday. Thank you we would definitely recommend you to anyone.

Extremely welcoming start and the accommodation was immaculate, inside and out, We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay and will definitely book again.

Phil and Gill were excellent hosts who provided a more than comfortable stay in the Lakes.

They have a beautiful property that made the stay feel warm and homely. They were helpful, giving tips and advice about staying in the area, and they went the extra mile to ensure we had a great stay; for example, doing a load of our washing for us! Thanks very much for a great week. Tim & Becky - Southampton P.S. (we forgot to write in the guest book, so if you want, feel free to copy this note!)

Our hosts, Phil and Gill made us feel very welcome and were always available if we needed any advice on where to visit.

The property is set in picturesque gardens and was a comfortable base to explore the southern area of the Lakes. Highly recommended.

A lovely peaceful cottage in a very good location for exploring many areas of the Lake District, particularly Coniston, Hawkshead and the less popular south.

Gill and Phillip were welcoming and friendly hosts who provided lots of useful information and have carefully thought about how to ensure their guests can immediately relax and enjoy their holiday. For me it was an excellent base for walking many trails and a relaxing place to return to at the end of each day.

A beautiful place to stay in the Lake District.

There was everything you could wish for in the accommodation. Thank you Phil & Gill.

This cottage feels very spacious, due to the clever layout.

It's set in a well maintained, wrap around garden which gives it a tranquil feel. You immediately switch off. It's well equipped, very clean and thoughtfully decorated. Perfectly situated for sight seeing and walking. The hosts are very welcoming and so helpful. Best cottage we have stayed in.

We were very impressed with this property and the gardens surrounding it.

It had everything we needed and more! Our hosts were friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome.

We had a lovely holiday experience in a beautifully presented cottage in idyllic surroundings all enhanced by wonderful hosts.

Phil and Gill went that extra mile at making us feel at home we felt relaxed and really enjoyed our wedding anniversary Phil picked us up from bus stop and took us to windermere on Saturday we really appreciated it and Gill tuck us to the train station on Monday we will be going there again they were both nice people next time we will stay for more days we really enjoyed talking to Phil and Gill

My recent stay at Garden Suite was brilliant , the cottage was very well equipt and had everything one would need for a stay.

The cottage location is on the edge of Newby Bridge which gives you great access to the Lake District. I would highly recommend the Garden Suite cottage for a holiday getaway to anyone whom is looking for a holiday in the Lake District.

Cottage was cosy and well equipped right down to shoeshine and sewing kits.

Beautiful large garden with bridge over pond and well equipped summer house. Well situated for long walks and nearby tourist attractions. Friendly owners on hand if needed. We will definitely return.

We had a lovely time staying at the Garden Suite and would definitely love to revisit sometime in the future.

The decor is very tasteful and well maintained. It was nice to know the owners were near by but weren’t intrusive at all. They were nice enough to stock bread, milk, butter and jam - even a nice bottle of bubbly, which was very much appreciated and a nice welcoming touch.

A truly beautiful cottage and gardens, very comfortable and clean, a joy to stay in, lots of little extras included that we weren't expecting but were greatly appreciated such as a generous welcome pack which included things such as crusty bread, butter, marmalade, milk, biscuits to name only a few, to the warm cozy dressing gowns.

Owners were so friendly and helpful, lots of information given on local places to eat and walks to explore. A delightful stay in every way, we will most definitely be visiting again.

Very comfortable cottage with quality furniture, fixtures and fittings (on arriving home we actually replaced our old clothes airer with the same model as in the Garden Suite because it was so much better).

Beautiful garden. Comprehensive welcome pack. Friendly owners.

Fantastic accommodation.

Phill and Gill made every effort to make us feel welcome. A Welcome pack like we have never had before.. Hope to return next year . Thank you so much .

First class in every way.

Comfortable, spotless, very well equipped. The owners have added lots of personal extras that made it feel home from home. As a solo traveller I felt very secure there. The fantastic gardens are a credit to their hard work. Beautiful views towards the fells. Good base to access other routes for exploration of the lakes. Thanks again to Gill and Phill for making my holiday special.

Beautiful setting with stunning gardens About 4 miles to Cartmel expensive Studio very well appointed and spotless Very comfortable The only negative no hand rails in the shower easily fixed Definitely one of the very best we have used Well done

Fantastic place to stay.

So quiet and relaxing and hosts were very warm, friendly and welcoming. Everything you would need in the cottage has been thought of and tastefully decorated. Garden is absolutely stunning.

The cottage was very peaceful looking out at the amazing garden can recommend the accommodation for all good reasons.

Our host’s were very helpful and recommended Buttermere which we would have missed. We highly recommend this holiday.

Wow!

First time staying in the Lake District in early March with glorious weather! The property is situated in a beautiful setting overlooking the hills and also with their own immaculate garden! The property had everything we needed for our 3 night stay and there were some lovely touches added in each of the rooms which made it feel very homely. Gill & Phillip were very friendly and welcoming and gave us recommendations on where to visit around the area. We will 100% be booking this property again! Gaz & Kim

A lovely location to explore the Southern Lake District from.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented, we loved the Garden Suite. Gill and Philip are attentive hosts and made sure we had everything we needed.

Well located, tastefully furnished, comfortable accommodation set in beautiful gardens.

Thoughtful touches in kitchen and bathroom. Excellent value for money and highly recommend for travelling couple.

Everything about the Garden Suite was wonderful, we had a perfect stay.

The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and the small touches like leaving bread, milk, clotted cream, wine, snack bars etc were very nice. The accommodation was immaculate and could not be faulted. Much thought has gone into the preparation of the property to ensure we had the best possible stay. Our only regret is that we didn't book it for long enough. We will be back!

One of the absolute best places I have stayed!

From start to finish, I really did feel at home. There was nothing I needed that wasn't available through my stay. I was able to choose walks based off their recommendations within the area and found myself having a really great time. I had never been to the Lakes so I found that the welcome information I was given by email and in the suite, was extremely useful. Location wise, it was perfect. I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay, everything seemed to be within 10-20 minutes of the suite and the roads were really quiet so I found the drives really enjoyable. Gill and Phillip went above and beyond from a hosting perspective and I am ever so grateful for the experience. I really would love to stay there again. I was able to speak to Gill and Phillip through my stay and I am really happy I did, they are a wonderful couple and I hope that future guests appreciate the space they have created for others'.
