"Beautiful location with beautiful views."
Property was perfect for five of us with each bedroom having an ensuite. Well equipped kitchen and very handy having the separate laundry room to dry a few bits of washing. Easy to access walks straight from the property was excellent. Each property has space outside with table and chairs. The dog paddock was really useful, for us a private space to enable us to have a door open and dogs to roam freely would have been better but it was clear on the listing that this was not the case (not an issue just highlighting for future stays). We used the outdoor pool in Askham - this is an excellent facility.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Winder Barn."
The three ensuite rooms worked very well for my grown up family. We loved being able to walk out onto the fells with amazing views over Ullswater. The owners were very helpful responding quickly to any queries.

"What a wonderful place!"
Refreshing to find somewhere in a stunning location, perfect for our dogs and us. House was well equipped and very comfortable. Minor issue immediately sorted by the owners. If our dogs could use a computer they’d already have booked a return visit.
Hi Judith, thank you for your lovely review. The dogs seemed so at home. Hope to see you again one day, good luck with your house hunting.

"We had a lovely stay at this cottage and the dogs loved the paddock for a good run around."
Everything was superb about the location and the the cottage itself very comfortable and warm and cosy. We had some very cold nights but once you lit the gas fire burner in the sitting room you were soon snug.
The only downsides was lack of plugs downstairs to charge phones etc you had none as all of them had something in them lights or torches on charge etc and the terrible air leaks in the water system you had to put on the shower tap nothing would come out so you would then run the basin and it soon flowed. It was a knack and we soon got used to it. But otherwise a fantastic place and would return again.
Hi Robert, thank you for the kind review. We look forward to welcoming you again at High Winder. Sorry you had an issue with the water. The system is pump boosted and we will take a look at it to check there isn’t a problem.

"The property is in a fabulous location close to the beautiful village of Askham but with a feeling of wildness with spectacular views."
Staying in November was a risk with the weather but the owners were extremely obliging and Winder Barn was cosy and comfortable. I’ll definitely return and look forward to another glimpse of the wildlife around the cottages.
Hi Liz, thank you for your lovely review. Glad the weather was kind to you. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

"Lovely property."
Everything we needed. Kitchen was very well equipped and everything was easy to use. Loved the fenced off area for the dog with the dog bin and even bags!! Lovely and quiet, just right for a relaxing break. Lots of things to do nearby, e.g., Pooley Bridge and Lowther Castle, with a lovely friendly shop in the village. Would have no hesitation in recommending Winder Barn and will certainly be back for another stay
Thank you Lynda, such lovely comments. Great guests and glad you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to welcoming you back to High Winder.

"We’ve just come back from a lovely stay at Winder Barn."
It was extremely clean and had everything you would need whilst away. There was plenty of space for 4 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs. Our 3 year old loved waking up each day seeing red squirrels on the feeder. The dog walking field was very handy and the views in all directions from the Barn were beautiful.
It was the perfect base for visiting The Lakes and we would definitely recommend.
Glad to hear you had a wonderful stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
