A lovely cottage in a lovely location. We could just sit in the garden and take in the view all day long - weather permitting! The attention to detail in the cottage is great too. Products from the Bath House which I love, White Company towels and bedding. And lovely welcome gifts too! Highly recommend.

A gorgeous cottage, beautifully furnished with three lovely bedrooms, a modern yet cosy kitchen, and a spacious laundry room plus a games room. Fantastic rural position with far-reaching views and a pretty garden. Its southerly location is a minor inconvenience for visiting the northern lakes but this is more than compensated by being a short distaRead morence away from several excellent pubs serving top quality food. Highly recommended. Hide

An amazing week spent at Barrow Hollin. The cottage is extremely well equipped and the welcome hamper much appreciated. The cottage is 300 years old and the now sloping upstairs floorboards give a real feel to it's character. The views of the surrounding area are outstanding. The children loved the games room.
