  We booked Bank End Barn for a family Christmas, 5 adults, 3 children and 3 dogs.

  We had a fantastic stay, the accommodation was lovely, stunning views and had so many personal touches such as a Christmas tree and Christmas decorations, which made it even more special and welcoming. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and everywhere was clean and tidy. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed and we were able to cook Christmas dinner for 8 of us without an issue. Having the whole family sitting around the beautiful kitchen table on Christmas Day was just perfect. The hot tub was another highlight and was enjoyed by both the adults and kids. The dogs also had fun swimming in the stream at the bottom of the garden. One thing to note is that the property is spread across 3 floors, the kitchen and living room is on the ground floor and the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the upper floor, and lower ground floor. One member of our family has mobility issues and getting up and down stairs can be a problem, although they managed for the duration of our stay, it is worth noting that although in the facilities list it states that there is a ground floor bedroom, which is why we booked the property, this is not actually the case. Even so it was just a minor issue and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  Just returned from a week in this lovely cottage celebrating my husbands 60th Birthday.

  There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 2 dogs. The cottage had everything we needed to make it home from home. There was a slight hiccup when we first arrived with twin beds not being connected to make a Super King. I contacted Sykes Cottages at 5.55pm (when we arrived), they contacted the owner straight away, and called me back. By 6.20 the owner arrived, stripped the beds, and made into a super king! We were happy to wait until the next day, but nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service throughout. We visited Silecroft Beach and also many areas around the Lakes. Perfect location to explore the Western Lakes and Coastal paths. I feel the cottage would benefit from having access to the back of the house to take off muddy boots and coats and leave downstairs rather than stepping through the front door onto a lovely carpet. Would definitely recommend this cottage for a relaxing holiday with lovely views, clear skies to see the stars, and hot tub to top it all off!

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a wonderful place and wonderful people.

  When my partner first shown me this place I nearly ruled it out due to having young children 1 and 4, I thought the out door space may have been an issue. I am so glad we decided to book as it was not an issue at all, was amazing and our children loved it, such a sense of space, playing freely on the grass, meeting the farm animals and even feeding the lambs which our daughter absolutely loved. They gave us lots of ideas for days out we could do in the area with the children which was great and we enjoyed some great family days. And when their day was done and fast asleep, we could spend our time relaxing in the hot-tub admiring the views and cozying up on the couch with a glass of wine and amazing cheese board from a shop they recommended in cartmel (so delicious). I would definitely recommend staying here the properties are immaculate, the people are lovely and the balance of time with the children and for ourselves was perfect. We will definitely be returning.

  We stayed in the house for Christmas with our mother, children and grandchildren, 7 adults, 4 children and a baby.

  The house was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook a full Christmas dinner. The host even provided Christmas tablecloths, oven gloves and tea towels. The house was decorated for Christmas, including a Christmas tree. The beds were really comfortable. The lounge was a great size for 11 people to all sit together. There was a smart TV so we could watch Christmas films together. There were other TVs in the bedrooms but we did not need to use them. There were also board games and some childrens toys. Plenty of storage space in the kitchen for all our food and a big fridge freezer. The hut tub was perfect for relaxing in at the end of a busy day. Having a washer and dryer was an added bonus. There are some lovely walks around the area. We walked to the local pub which served great food. The house was very warm even though we had the heaters turned off but we were able to open windows.

  What a great base for exploring the Lake District.

  The property is really well equipped with everything you need for a holiday and more. So much thought has been put into making it a “home from home”. It's the most comfortable accommodation we have stayed in to date! The extra touches, such as supplying tea, coffee, sugar, milk (and the bottles of wine and biscuits) was very thoughtful and gratefully received on arrival, especially after a 5 hour journey from Shropshire. Our rescue Sprollie, Lola, loved the freedom of the clean, spacious and secure back garden too. The immediate neighbours were also very friendly, and clearly used to having ever changing neighbours (some kids popped their heads over the fence one evening asking if we had any children they could play with). Kath was very approachable, making sure we had everything we needed at the start and throughout our stay. Definitely somewhere we'd come back to as and when we are next in the Lakes.:-)
