I struggle to find anything I did not like sorry

This is a very quirky property. The entrance to the parking is quite tight but we had no problems. The conversion of the Byre has been beautifully and very cleverly done. The shower room is up an interesting staircase - this is not the place for anyone with mobility issues but otherwise this is a beautiful property. I would not hesitate in returning. The host Alun was fantastic and super helpful. We loved being able to charge our Tesla and the costs were reasonable and the breakfasts were perfect for us

I can’t think of anything really, it was fabulous.

Townfoot Byre is a gorgeous, cosy and secluded little stay nestled away in prime position in the Lake District. We stayed here for two nights and were just smitten with it. The Byre is many centuries old with delightfully thick walls and period features, yet it has been furnished with top of the range appliances and mod cons. The kitchen was very well stocked with teas, coffee, butter and fresh milk, alongside bread and jams, which was much appreciated. Super fast WiFi and a nice big TV also. The location is wonderful being just 5-10 minutes from Windermere and with many country walks as soon as you step out. Overall, I would very strongly recommend the Byre if you are seeking a cosy getaway in the Lake District with attentive hosts and at a very attractive price point. Super happy we stayed here!

The ramp up to the parking is a little sketchy without a wooden fence or barrier on the road side as there’s a rather high drop and the ramp is a little narrow but manageable

Alun was an amazing host checking in to make sure we are comfortable during our stay. The facilities were immaculate and well stocked. A very short 5 min drive to the lake itself or a 20 min walk and with the complimentary health club included in the price it’s a bargain. Although the health club isn’t on site it does provide a Gym, Sauna, Steam room and hot tub all very nice. All in all me and my partner had a great evening and would love to stay again.

The broken window right next to our door was not what you would expect for the price we paid

The cottage has a lovely homely feel, beautiful scenery, and the bed was very comfy.

The gym was a 25min walk along a country road with no path. The fire door on stairs made getting to bathroom difficult for taller people. Parking was available but not in an easy spot to park in.

Location was good. The accomodation was cosy. Scenery was lovely.

The cottage was a great place to spend 6 nights, every thing you require was supplied and the bed was very comfortable.

The steep stairs, if you need to go to the toilet during the night having to have full light on is not good Ask someone with poor vision I found the venue to be quite dark I also missed a comfortable chair to sit in chair whilst a bedroom chair is very suitable is not suitable when you wish to relax

Wi-Fi signal was good very very quiet

Main room/bedroom quite dark and no view, very small window

Cute/quirky and unusual, view from bathroom

Although there is nothing that can be done the stairs were a little steep.

Location was idyllic and easy enough to find on arriving into Windermere. The property was immaculate on arrival.

I personally couldn’t find anything I disliked the only thing that someone could possibly dislike is the tricky parking if your not used to small country roads and bends.

The property was a nice beautiful tucked away place in the hills with gorgeous views of the hills and valleys, very peaceful at night. The inside was very clean very tidy and well organised.

Nothing! Everything was amazing!!

Everything was absolutely perfect!! The host Alun went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful from start to finish, this stunning property with beautiful views is spotlessly clean , breakfast provided, very warm and cosy and a great base for walks and trips to enjoy the local area, we loved the quirkiness of the property and can highly recommend a stay here! We stayed for 2 nights and literally had the perfect honeymoon stay here! Thank you again Alun, townfoot Byre is stunning in every way!!

All good

Scenic location, wonderful host, quaint buildings..

Stayed in January 2024

It would be nice to have lighting near the door from the outside. It was difficult to find the lock .

Good location for hiking. The surroundings are nice and quiet. The building itself is old but the room is stylish and large. Comfortable bed. Clean, well-equipped kitchen. Breakfast wasn't to our liking, but you can visit a local shop and buy things for sandwiches. The steep stairs were a challenge, so older people or people with mobility issues should think about another place. Like another reviewer, we think the driveway to the parking is narrow but your car is in a safe place behind the house.

Near everything, great staff, great facilities

Bathroom was not on the same level but on the floor above with access via a steep set of stone stairs, not conducive when having to use in the middle of the night. Parking area was narrow and a steep incline, where you have to reverse out which is difficult in the dark in a large vehicle. There are no cooking facilities, only a microwave and toaster.

Nice comfortable bed, warm and clean. Enjoyed the use of the leisure centre/spa facilities included as part of the stay.
