Guests that stayed at this property said

Cleanliness scores are mixed, with several guests expressing dissatisfaction with the level of cleanliness, mentioning mould, dust, and a musty smell. However, others found the accommodation clean and well-presented. The score reflects the balance between positive and negative feedback.

The location is highly praised for its quietness and proximity to local attractions, including Grange over Sands and Lake Windermere. Guests appreciated the peaceful village setting and the convenience for exploring South Lakeland.

Most guests found the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of cosy furnishings and a well-equipped kitchen. The beds were noted to be comfortable, and the balcony was a highlight for many. Some minor issues were noted but did not significantly detract from the overall comfort.

Facilities were generally well-received, with guests appreciating the well-equipped kitchen and additional amenities like WiFi. Some maintenance issues were reported, such as problems with the cooker hobs and freezer, which lowers the score slightly.

There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, this score cannot be determined from the available data.

About this property

The Hayloft is part of a beautiful traditional Lakeland stone barn conversion, with slate flagstone floors and original beams, nestled within an award winning development in the South Lakes village of Lindale, a perfect place to cast aside the stresses of everyday life and unwind. Set within the magnificent Lake District National Park, only 5 miles from Lake Windermere, and close to The South Cumbrian Coast, The Hayloft boasts heartwarming modern accomodation, a perfect "home away from home" ideal for couples, families and small groups to enjoy. Pass through the gated courtyard and enter the spacious slate floored hallway and into the sumptuous kitchen/diner which also features slate flagstone floor, beams and contemporary units, with an extensive selection of first class appliances, for all your culinary needs. On the first floor you will find the comfortable homely sitting room, again with beamed ceiling plus feature fireplace with electric woodburner type stove, ideal for heat on those cooler evenings, together with TV, DVD player, books, games and tourist information. The sitting room gives access onto the south facing balcony, perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine on those sunny summer evenings. Also on the first floor is the sizeable and stylish contemporary bathroom, featuring a smart white suite with shower over the bath, plus light and shaver point over the washbasin.The Hayloft lies on three floors, the upper level presents you with two immaculate bedrooms, both with original feature beams; a spacious master, south facing, with stylish oak furniture and a comfortable large double bed and a twin room with views across the village providing a pleasing sight to wake up to. Lindale, a small village situated in the south of The Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few miles from Lake Windermere, makes the area a perfect holiday destination. Set amidst the charm of The Southern Lakes, this attractive village, with handy gastropub, The Royal Oak, makes an inspiring choice from which to enjoy the whole of this magical area. Just a few minutes drive from The Hayloft, brings you to Cartmel, a delightful village to wander around, famed for its delicious sticky toffee pudding, 12th century priory, National Hunt race meetings and gourmet restaurants. You could also visit Grange-over-Sands, a charming seaside Edwardian town. Take a stroll on the promenade and return through the quaint narrow streets with some lovely tea rooms and specialist shops including a bakery, chocolatiers, and award winning butchers. But leaving the best till last, walking or touring in the fabulous Lake District, with its fells, lakes and tarns is an absolute must, most of which is just a short drive or walk from The Hayloft.

Lindale is in the south of the Lake District National Park, close to Grange-over-Sands and within Hampsfield Fell. It boasts both a village pub and a Post Office. Grange has narrow streets, quaint buildings, two pubs and a golf course. Cartmel, with its sticky toffee pudding, horse racing, 12th century priory and restaurants is a fine visit. Be sure to explore the countryside of the Lake District National Park, as well as the popular resort of Bowness-on-Windermere.

  • Gordon

    We had a lovely spring break in the very clean and well appointed property. This is our second visit to the Hayloft.

  • Stephen

    It was warm and comfortable, very well equipped. We enjoyed being there. The only drawback was that it felt a little closed in, especially on the ground floor.

  • Marc

    Property easy to find. Parking the car was a little tight, but we managed it! Kitchen had everything we needed. Lounge was cosy. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was spacious. Only couple of things if we were being picky was from a cosmetic perspective, bathroom grouting was dirty and carpet on stairs is worn. We would visit again.
