Hill Side Barn Reviews

Great find, property and location was better than anticipated, easy to find, nice welcome gift awaited us on arrival and Ste owner was quick to welcome us in. Property as described and pictured in the holiday listing, with many charetistics and detail for the barn. Hot tub was lovely, although not ready on 1st night but we expected this even on a cool and wet evening, perhaps a canopy or a little screening could be added but that would probably spoil your view of stars above. No light pollution and no traffic noise, just friendly animals including sheep, cows, dogs and cats.

Lauren

Fantastic holiday stay. Beautiful home and surroundings. We can't wait to come back and visit again

Edward

We had a fantastic holiday here for the fifth time love the place however I would have liked to have a comment book for the owners to make them aware of maintenance issues as without this information they would never know of any problems. I would have no problem if they wanted to contact me ! But like I said we absolutely love the hillside barn and will be back next November

Lovely cottage, so clean comfortable and the added bonus of the hot tub, the surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, highly recommended.

Lovely property in a beautiful setting. There was a big basket of logs and kindling waiting for us. The hot tub was a nice treat for us. The barn was lovely and warm.

Had a great girls weekend at Hill Side. Everything was perfect, Lovely open plan lounge, kitchen Comfy Beds Great large HotTub Fully equipped with everything you need Snowed while there so was lovely having a log fire and heating to keep us all warm Good parking space for 34 cars This was our 2nd time staying at the property and wont be our last.Thanks

Hill Side Barn is a wonderfully placed gem of a holiday cottage, spacious and cosy and wellstocked with everything you could need. Many thanks to Steve and Carol for the very kind bottle of wine on arrival and for helping us out when we couldn't get the wifi to work! My friends and I absolutely loved getting visits from the resident farm cat, and the hot tub was always a joy at the end of a busy evening. One thing for potential visitors to note the stairs down to the bedrooms are very narrow and the handrails a little wobbly, so do be careful if anyone in your party has mobility difficulties. I found them a touch difficult to navigate with my cane, but there are outdoor stairs and a sloped driveway to the lower floor which are shallower and broader. We had a wonderful time, and would heartily recommend this place!

Alison

Beautiful place. Great stay. Just wish we could have brought our little dog

Lorraine

Absolutely beautiful place to stay , my 3rd time here , I love it , its home from home ,

Daniel

We had an amazing stay at Hillside Barn. The property was immaculate and clean and the hot tub a welcoming sight after each day of activities and walking in the beautiful area of South Lakeland. Ulverston is only 10 minutes away by car and has everything you need. It was so lovely to stay away from the main resorts a truly relaxing break which all of our family loved

Tracey

What can I say? I am so glad that I came across this gem of a property. Hillside Barn is immaculate and the owners have thought of everything you need from the wellequipped kitchen to books, games, and DVDs. We arrived late at night and the lights were on when we arrived and a welcome bottle of wine was waiting for us. We loved the owner's dog coming to visit us and the cows and sheep in the field next to us kept us entertained. The hot tube was amazing, especially after a busy day exploring the Lakes. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and we hope to return. Thank you Ste and Carol for the perfect stay.

Clean and comfortable with everything you could need in a beautiful location! Hot tub was hot on arrival, plenty of hot water for showering and good water pressure. Very organised in terms of recycling, firelighters, logs etc. We even joined the local FB group and got great recommendations for restaurants, bars and taxis. We'd definitely go back.

Corinne

Great cottage, hot tub was great and good location for walking in the lakes.

It was a great stay and was better than advertised. Steve and Carol are great hosts. Will 100 be booking here again when we return to the Lakes

Angela

4 friends visited 12 14 April We were very impressed with the property and thought it was new, so were surprised to read the comments in the visitors book from guests who had stayed years previously. Cant say there is anything we could suggest in improving the property or adding to it in any way. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and I personally have already recommended to other friends

Louise

Our family of 5 spent 3 nights here and would definitely return. The house was immaculate, well equipped and in a great location for exploring the coast and the lakes. The hot tub was a lovely treat and there are plenty of good places to eat in Ulverston. Would absolutely recommend

Alyson

Fantastic week at Hill Side Barn. Accommodation was outstanding. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Claire

This was a beautiful cottage, in a lovely setting. The host was very welcoming, he had the woodburning fire lit and ready for us on arrival... and there was a welcome bottle of wine that was much appreciated! The cottage was beautifully decorated and styled and the beds, bedding and pillows were very comfortable. The hottub was a highlight and was really clean and also ready for us arriving. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider coming back. Thanks

Lindsay

Had the most amazing and relaxing stay at Hillside barn. The cottage has everything you need to ensure you have a nice chilled, comfortable break away. And they even privide tea, coffee, milk and sugar, which was a very welcomed surprise after a long drive. Close to the town and only 35 mins drive to the lakes, it's location is fab and the views around the cottage are so tranquil. We will definitely be returning again.

An amazing property in a lovely quiet spot. Had everything we could have wanted and the wine and chocolates were a lovely surprise. Will see you again soo

A fabulous property that provides comfort, peace and relaxation in equal measure.

Pauline

Absolutely wonderful stay at the Hillside barn. Comfortable, cosy and quaint! Wouldnt hesitate to recommend for other families.

Claire

What a treasure! We came here on a girls weekend and it was fabulous. The amenities are about 4 mile walk away and its quite hilly so be prepared for that and getting a taxi back was impossible, so Id advise to book in advance. The meal we had at the Farmers Arms was beautiful though and definitely worth the walk. The whole weekend was wonderful and the prosecco snacks on arrival were such a lovely touch. We will definitely be back, in fact were already planning our next stay!

Victoria

Immaculate, super well equipped and comfortable. Loved it

First class holiday accommodation. Whatever we needed it was there. Beautiful main room, stunning location with the added bonus of a hot tub. Would definitely return and recommend.

Barbara

A lovely property. Comfortable & spacious. Some information on the TV controls would be useful & a note it takes awhile to get a connection. Shower seal in the main bathroom needs replacing & it could do with coming off ever so often for a clean. Bedrooms were a bonus as they were lovely & cool for sleeping. We would recommend the Hillside Barn to anyone who was visiting that area. The welcome gift of wine & handmade crisps was appreciated.

Mercedes

What an absolute find! The barn was just as pretty as the pictures. Plenty of space for the 5 of us. One of the most comfortable beds we have ever had away from home. The kitchen was really well equipped with pans and equipment. My only comment would be that there could have been more, cups, glasses and cutlery, as there was only exact 6 of each which meant you could not really use the dishwasher. But we just washed by hand instead! This is just a comment, as I could not criticise the cottage, it was too nice! The hot tub was lovely! Sadly for us, the weather was not so kind but we still managed to grab a couple of chilled moments in the tub! Definitely coming back to it in the future

Michelle

We could happily have stayed here forever. Hillside Barn is idyllically set in pretty countryside beautiful views and narrow roads to get there as you would expect. We opened our door to see cows and sheep in the field beside us. It is wonderfully quiet and peaceful and yet only a 5 minute drive into Ulverston town. There are a few other properties onsite, but they are mostly hidden and it felt for the most part that we were the only people there. The property is impeccably clean, the cleanest I have ever seen, the hot tub was amazing and fit 6 of us easily, I genuinely wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Sophie

A beautiful barn conversion, in a lovely rural location. The cottage is well maintained, lovely and clean and beds very comfy. I was extremely surprised at how well equipped the cottage was too. I'd actually brought a few things for the kitchen dishwasher tablets, tea towels, bin bags and a small highchair for my daugher but everything and more, was there! The wine and chocolates on arrival was a lovely touch. My son loved the play cottage daisy cottage, I think? And he also loved that he could see baa baa black sheep from our property. We decided to book a holiday very last minute, so pleased we came across this this. Will definitely recommend you to family and friends! Thank you!

Claire

What a stunning place. Came for a girls weekend to celebrate a birtgday and was overwhelmed by the beautiful location and setting. The cottage itself was clean and the decor was lovely. The walk in to Ulverston was great, the walk back was a bit of a killer though and the local taxi company were rude and refused to take us and hung up, simply not far enough. The hot tub was well needed after the walk back !!! The resident cat was a beauty and adopted us

Jasmin

Had a really amazing time the barn is so much nicer in real life too. Absolutely would recommend to anyone and would return myself too!!

Hannah

Amazing cottage, lovely layout and plenty of room for 6 people, with 2 bathrooms being a huge benefit. Plenty of parking and great hot tub location. Only 3 miles from Ulverston. Would definitely reccommend.

Jayesh

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Good location and views. Only request would be for more supply more drinking glasses and cutlery.

Had a lovely New Years Eve here we couldnt fault it everything you need. 5 cleanness. Wish it wasnt already booked up for next year will definitely be going back

Beverley

The Barn is absolutely beautiful and the place is stunning, great hot tub, and everything was set out lovely and easy to manage. We as friends have been doing this for six years now and can honestly say that it is one of the best that we have stayed in. Very roomy really nice furniture and spotless. We have all agreed that we are going back next year because we all loved it. Thanks Bev white

Apart from the early issue with the owner about the cleanliness, we are pleased to say this was resolved the next day. We were offered a refund which was not the issue, glad to say we had a really nice stay at the cottage. and Steve was one in a million when it came to lending a hand to my son in law, as his car broke down, he was very helpful indeed, lending out his tools and workshop. above and beyond the usual service. A very quiet and peaceful place to stay. yes I would recommend this property.

Anne Louise

Quite difficult to find, have to turn in on what looks like a farm drive, it's in a really bad state with huge potholes to manoeuvre. WiFi was good, but no smart tv, and signal dropped in and out of regular TV. Didn't feel that clean, lots of flies, kitchen area tiles are broken and cracked. Bedroom 2 really small, lack of natural light, extremely hot and stuffy. Stairs are very steep, whole area is not accessibility friendly. Outside space was good, but no parasol.
