    When booking through booking.com my confirmation was for Widewath barn which confirmed bed and separate sofa bed which from photos of barn indicated seperate sofa bed area.We found out that we had booked a separate unit with different name and with one bed.This problem was sorted by owner by placing separate single bed in main bedroom which was not ideal for myself and son.Owner was very helpful in minimising the awkward situation we encountered.and iI think this situation should not arise and process of booking would benefit more clarity.

    Peaceful location in lovely countryside yet easily accessible to local attractions.

    We loved the location being quiet and right next to the walking track over the fells. it is a comfortable and warm living space ideal for couples, Just a short drive to the local pub and shop. The hosts are respectful of your privacy but there to offer assistance and/ or advice if required. We definitely recommend.

    Nothing.

    The converted barn was located on a family farm in a quiet area but with easy access out and walking trails nearby. Communications with our host was good and we were provided with very detailed instructions on finding the farm. The apartment was well equipped, very clean and comfortable. Would recommend for a trip to the Lakes District or just a quiet stay. The wifi was good.

    Nothing! It's truly a wonderful stay. You do need a car to get around.

    The place is located in a secluded location with farmlands in the surrounding area, very quiet and peaceful. Alice and George were friendly hosts with good advice of the nearby attractions to visit. You get a great view over Ullswater approx. 45 min hike away.

    Widewath Barn is a lovely spacious cottage with a well equipped kitchen. It is in a very quiet but convenient location. All the places we visited were no more than 20 minutes drive away. Alice and George were great hosts.

    We had originally booked it for three of us thinking it looked like there were three different rooms (by the pictures). One of our friends couldn’t come so there were two of us in the end which was probably good as the beds are all in one room.

    The cleanliness of the property was phenomenal. The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming and thoughtful. It was such a cute little farm and we enjoyed the sheep, rams and doggies 🐑 🐏 🐶

Great location with views that are out of this world. Just enough out of the way to enjoy while still being local villages near by

    We loved the location which was perfect for exploring the Lakes. Also, it was great to be able to walk out the front door of the barn into open countryside and walk for miles catching glimpses of Ullswater along the way. The barn itself was lovely; lots of character and very comfortable. We hope to return again soon!
