Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, thoughtful touches, and convenient location near main roads and a popular hotel/restaurant. The property is best suited for solo travellers or couples, with a cosy atmosphere and all necessary amenities. While some found the space small and the sofa less comfortable for long periods, most found it a comfortable and practical base. Occasional extras such as treats were appreciated, though not guaranteed. Overall, guests enjoyed their stays and would recommend the property.
The majority of reviews highlight the cottage as very clean or spotlessly maintained, with only one mention of a musty smell and dampness on arrival. Most guests were highly satisfied with the cleanliness.
The location is frequently praised for its easy access to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and main roads, while still offering a peaceful countryside setting. Proximity to a hotel/restaurant and canal walks is also noted as a positive.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, especially the bed, but several noted the small size and less comfortable sofa. The space is best suited for one or two people, with some finding it a tight fit for two.
The property is described as well-equipped, with all necessary kitchen appliances and amenities. Some guests noted the absence of a coffee machine and oven, and a couple of minor maintenance issues (e.g., fridge replacement, shower operation), but these were addressed promptly.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as treats and helpful hosts. However, as gifts and extras are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect them as standard.

A lovely get away in the cottage with amazing weather which made it even better!! Would recommend to anyone looking for a couple nights away, wanting to stay near the lake district with only a 30min drive away.

Had a great stay at Pear Tree Barn. Ideal location for us and a great Restaurant/Bar next door. With family up the road location was spot on. We had a problem with the fridge whilst staying, it stopped working (these things happen) and the response was fantastic, same day replacement. Very pleased overall thank you.
