Herdwick's Barn is consistently praised for its cleanliness, beautiful location, and comfort.

The property is recommended for its proximity to attractions and the welcoming nature of the hosts. While some minor criticisms exist, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests planning to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers frequently mention the spotless condition of the cottage, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness that contributes to the overall positive experience.

The property is lauded for its beautiful and secluded location, convenient for local attractions and walks. However, a few guests noted traffic noise, slightly impacting the score.

Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the property warm, cosy, and well-equipped. The underfloor heating is particularly appreciated, although one mention of a missing fan during hot weather slightly affects the score.

Facilities are generally praised for being modern and comprehensive. A few minor suggestions for additional items like a new tin opener and an iron are noted, but these do not significantly detract from the overall high standard.

Guests feel well-cared for with thoughtful touches like local farm products and festive decorations. While these are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed.

    It was also immaculately clean. It has (nearly) everything needed for a comfortable stay and the courtyard is an added bonus. I didn't notice road noise and there are some lovely walks, nearby. I had a lovely stay, overall and make the following observations which would have made my stay perfect. - I banged my head, twice (and I'm only 5'4"): once on the beam above the bed and once on the stair post which extends into the kitchen area below. There is very little storage space for food (maybe re-jig the contents of the cupboard above the sink), hence me using the shelf below the stairwell then banging my head when backing out of the space. Maybe a 'mind your head' warning could be displayed, or a warning added to the handbook. -There is no way to over-ride the heating (that I could find) - it became quite chilly at times due to the stone flooring and construction. - Check-out time of 9am is also not very convenient for guests (well, me), given that check-in is not until 4pm. To me being on holiday shouldn't mean an early start, tidying up and a rush to vacate on your final day. 10am would be much more civilised.

    Also being on a farm would have been nice to be able to take your dog for a walk in the field instead of a slip road on the side of a busy road but over all would stay again
