Family-friendly vacation rentals in Barrow-in-Furness

Beautiful views, friendly staff and everything in Yurt. Will helped us out

We stayed here for my sons 12th birthday for 2 nights end of May 2025. The house itself was beautiful, tastefully decorated and felt fresh and clean. The beds were all very comfortable with good bedding. The Hosts were very friendly and we felt the check in was easy and hassle free. The games room, sauna and hot tub were great additions and again well looked after and clean. We would definayely book here again.

We arrived at the Old Sunday School for 4 nights and the cottage was exactly as described to us by the host Peter. The cottage was very cosy in a little village with everything you need for a lovely peaceful few days with all amenities within walking distance including the Meadowside Cafe which we visited on the Saturday for the Brindian which was absolutely amazing and would highly recommend if visiting Dent as the owners, Adrian (chef) and his wife were amazing hosts. We also made use of the hot tub at the cottage which is a nice lovely added bonus which was even better with the gorgeous weather we had during our stay. We would highly recommend this cottage and would most definitely return in the future so if you are looking for a peaceful place with fantastic views visit Dent.

The location was amazing and the views were spectacular. This home was exactly what it said on the tin. We were all blown away by it and had beautiful weather to make the most of the outdoor area. The only thing we did notice was that there wasn’t enough wine glasses & champagne flutes. Not ideal when there was 8 women so we had to use half pint glasses. We could have also done with more dishwasher tablets to last the stay. Apart from that it was perfect. Thank you.

We had a great time at Canny Brow Barn. Everything you could possible think of or need for your stay, Ian and Anne-Marie had thought about, from a cocktail shaker to cleaning products to games. Would highly recommend!

A perfect stay for the family and 2 dogs. The hot tub was set up ready to go which we enjoyed throughout our stay, and we played monopoly on the huge table when it was rainy. Also used the bbq one night and toasted marshmallows on the fire pit. Really lovely and accommodating host. Highly recommend a stay here!

We had a really lovely week away! Steve was helpful from the beginning showing us around and how to use everything. The cottage was lovely. We stayed with our three dogs and it was perfect. Very cosy everything you could need. The hot tub was lovely, sitting in there after walking all day listening to the birds was the perfect ending to the day. Walked to the beach from Steve’s and found lots of walks around and lots of days out. Would highly recommend if exploring the Lake District!

We had a really good stay! The place was clean, well-maintained, and had all the facilities we needed for a comfortable visit. The views were absolutely amazing — a real highlight of the trip. The hosts were very helpful and responsive whenever we needed anything, which made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!

Absolutely stunning location!! The best in the entire Lake District! The Buttery is beautifully laid out and decorated, with possibly the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen in an airbnb. The knives are sharp, there's good quality cookware and even a dishwasher! The bed is super comfortable, and the bath is lovely and deep, and the freezer compartment in the fridge actually keeps things frozen! The livingroom/diningroom area is lovely, super comfortable sofa and a fold out diningtable. We ate outside most of the time, but this was much appreciated for when the midges descended! All the info you could possibly need is provided in the welcome folder, and Jella lives right next door and is always happy to help out with anything. The stunning Devoke Water is only a 15 minute walk away, and you can easily climb the seat (big hill) next to it for amazing sunsets. I could see the Isle of Man from up there! I couldn't recommend this place enough! We're already planning the next trip!

Super in communicating, place is spotless, fun authentic and cosy interior/architecture. Not Ikea thankfully. Also comfortable tv, kitchen and couch. Matress itself looks new and is good, but bed in secondary room is in my opinion a bit short for an adult male over 6ft, if you are a back sleeper. Would advice this apartment for parents with children or shorter adults. Curtains are ok, but let in some light in the morning. would choose totally blacked out curtains, but as you might have guessed I am a bit of a hard sleeper. That’s why still rate 5 stars.

My husband, daughter, puppy & I have just stayed here for a long weekend. Nick the host was very helpful & Informative. The cottage was perfect for us, spacious, warm & comfortable. All the additional supplies like toilet rolls etc were an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the local amenities. There are plenty of walks and scenery to visit in the area, shame the weather let us down a bit but we made the most of it anyway. We visited the local pub The Malt Shovel and well worth going, the food was delicious and home cooked, lovely family community.

The house and grounds are really lovely and beautiful. Felt right at home when we turned up. Ann and Tony were very kind and responded quickly, when we messaged them. They were very happy to stop and have a chat. The views were picturesque. It was lovely having the sheep and lambs in the next field. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend this place to anyone visiting in this area.

Lovely house - very peaceful and quiet. We had a lovely time but it’s worth noting for those new to the area that it’s about an hour drive away from Lake Windermere - something I quite hadn’t realised or appreciated beforehand!

A beautiful spot for a break in The Lakes. Emma’s accommodation was wonderful and was exactly as described - we felt right at home and settled straight in. When it’s time for us to return to Kendal, again, I hope Emma’s place will be available for us to book :)

Loved our stay at bigert mire cottage. Such a beautiful and homely place that gives you such a comforting vibe. Hosts were great and very helpful during our stay. Would recommend!!

The cottage is very charming and comfortable, maybe even a little cuter than the photos. We were more than a little apprehensive after the challenge of weaving through haphazardly parked vehicles on the tiny roads but I felt rewarded by the sweet cottage (and we never moved the car for the whole time). It’s really very close to the center of town and any food or drink you’d wish for. Unfortunately my husband and I both caught horrible colds just prior to arriving and although we did not have quite the walking holiday we envisioned we felt grateful for the cozy cottage with great light, comfortable bed, nearly scalding hot shower (until we learned how to adjust the temperature) and intermittently warm tile floors. If you come here and you’re sick, there’s a tesco and 2 pharmacies nearby. Steve was always responsive and friendly. I hope to visit again someday.

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

We stayed at Simon and Belinda's place for a week and it was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location for walks and food. The Wainwright's Inn is only 0.2 miles away. Great food and local ales on your doorstep. The cottage is cosy, the kitchen is well equipped and the information provided was very thorough and useful. There are some books in the house they have prepared to show various walks and local recommendations. We did some of these walks and our 5 year old enjoyed every second! We took advantage of the leisure facilities at The Langdale. This was a great addition to the cottage! Really recommend if you want a place near to town locations, walks and local pubs/cafés/restaurants.

Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

Had a lovely 3 nights stay, hosts were friendly and informative, house was spotlessly clean and spacious, everything you could really need was there, hot tub in the evenings after a day out was the perfect way to unwind, made a great base for exploring the lakes, hope to come back soon!

Really enjoyed our stay, we were celebrating my Mother’s 90th birthday and had other family members staying in other lodges around the park. Beautiful scenery and great location. We’ll definitely be visiting again.

This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!

what a great air b&b . clean and tidy . we had an issue which was our right within hours. everything was explained in the texts we sent and received . can't rave to much about van, sie ,area and host. what a sea view.

We stayed at this property as a group of 14 friends on a hiking weekend in the Lake District. Put simply, this is property is incredible! Martin has thought of everything a large group of people could need. The facilities are fantastic, from the hot-tub, to the fully kitted out games room, to the hammocks and swings, fire-pit, outdoor eating areas, speaker systems throughout the house. Everyone who stayed was blown away with the property and we made memories that we will never forget. Thank-you so much to the host for allowing us to stay.
