Barn vacation rentals in Cumbria

The Hemmel was a really nice cottage to stay in. It's probably one of the best airbnb's we've been to. Kate was very nice and helpful. The photos don't do it justice as it's even better in the flesh. We were a family of 4 including a baby and it was super comfortable. The cottage is very private and peaceful. The lambs were out when we were there and we saw the red squirrel in garden each day. We'd would definitely return.

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!

We had a super stay in Helton, we are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. The cottage was beautiful and very cosy and comfortable, it is really well equipped and we loved having the log burner. Claire and Chris were extremely welcoming and friendly, they went above and beyond and gave us lots of tips about local walks and cycles and the local pubs. We loved Helton and neighbouring Askham. Askham has a lovely pub with good food. The location was peaceful and rural but very accessible to other parts of the Lake District. Would highly recommend and hope to return 😊

We had a fantastic stay at Mary Meadows, the accommodation is just lovely and a great base for exploring the Lakes either by car or foot, the Aira Force waterfall is just a short walk away. Also a decent pub at the end of the lane. Joanne was a fantastic host, answered all our questions before and during our stay, and was really patient with us during the booking process. It’s nice to have a host that is personal and friendly. We definitely plan on staying here again on our next trip to the Lakes. Thanks Joanne

We had a lovely stay in a beautiful property with a well-maintained garden and a generously sized bedroom. The surrounding area is picturesque and peaceful. The only minor drawback was the occasional noise from passing trains, which may be noticeable to light sleepers. Ann was incredibly accommodating, especially with our special request for bedding arrangements, and it was a thoughtful touch to find milk in the fridge upon arrival.

We had a lovely stay at Sophie’s Cottage Barn. We used it as a base to hike in the Lake District as well as go up to Hadrian’s Wall. The place was lovely and it was great to have our own private house. Sophie was great and gave good recommendations about the local area. Would highly recommend

We had a truly wonderful stay at Richard’s barn! The place is located in a beautiful area – perfect for sightseeing and long hikes in nature. The barn itself is cozy and very well equipped with everything you might need to relax and enjoy your time. The indoor fireplace adds a lovely atmosphere, and the hot tub is a fantastic bonus after a day of exploring. The location is ideal – peaceful and quiet, yet close to many great trails and local attractions. Richard is an absolutely lovely host – super friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in nature with all the comforts. We’ll definitely be coming back! Zaneta and friends plus dog

Felt so at peace staying here. The home is very quaint, but cozy. The street and surrounding areas was so nice to walk around and it was such a perfect location to get around the lakes.

The house was everything we could have expected. In a quiet spot with great views and sheep to greet you in the morning. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. Two bathrooms and an extra loo downstairs was very 'convenient'! As you can tell, we greatly enjoyed our short stay.

I booked this accommodation for colleagues working in the area and the location was perfect. Sharon's place is lovely and provides all the home comforts needed when working away from home. She is an excellent host and communicator. I've booked with her before and will again if we're back in the area.

Great stay in the countryside. The cottage was cosy, warm and comfortable. It was particularly lovely watching the lambs in the nearby fields from the hot tub!

Hi Reg and Lynn, From Darren, Vic and Charlie, we want to say a massive thank you for your hospitality, your kindness and allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage. we've had the best few days in a long time and felt part of your wonderful family whilst allowing us space and privacy to truly relax. we'd like to thank you also for the little extras we found upon arrival which were most thoughtful and kind. We struggled to leave this morning and the love you've all put into the cottage was felt from the second we walked through the door. I really don't think the photos do justice to the beauty and charm. The local walks are wonderful, the beach is an absolute delight, you've made everything perfect for us and hope we'll be back one day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it's been the most perfect of breaks Darren, Vic and a truly tired Charlie x

This place was amazing. The hosts were super friendly and very accommodating leaving you wanting for nothing, along with little touches to the property like refilling the firewood whilst we were out on a walk in the lakes, to things like a fresh loaf of bread with a choice of jam or butter in the fridge when we arrived. The photos of the place are beautiful, and although they don’t do it justice for what you get, I can honestly say that you practically have a full, well maintained, clean, cosy and comfortable house/ barn to live in for your stay. It was the perfect weekend for us all in all and we can’t thank Pat and Neil enough. I was particularly impressed with when we departed, Pat and Neil were asking for feedback and opinions showcasing their ongoing thoughts of continuous improvement for all their future guests. It’s hard to top what they’re already doing, as they’ll continue to strive for that which was clear. You can’t go wrong staying here and I’d definitely recommend.

We had a lovely time away! Barry and Helen were brilliant hosts, we couldn’t fault it. Views were amazing and the place was cosy, clean and everything you needed ! We would definitely recommend and return ourselves.

Beautiful property to relax and unwind with lovely surroundings and some good walks. Kev was responsive and friendly and we had no problems at all. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Lovely place to stay, make sure to read all the info the host has left as it all proved very useful. Very photogenic area and quite, recommend the Wednesday night Pizza van in Broughton Square and Blacksmith Arms. You'll have a great stay, thanks again Sue and Geoff.

We’ve just got back from a beautiful stay at the cottage. We stayed two nights and wish we’d booked more time! We had a lovely experience start to finish, we had clear instructions of where to go and found the farm very easily. Check in was straightforward and the cottage was immaculate. The fresh eggs from the farm were a lovely touch, we had them for breakfast the following morning. Kelly kept in touch in case there was anything we needed but we had everything and more. We have a 6 month old and Kelly provided a high chair and travel cot which was great. There are some great pub/restaurants really close and we also had a day out in Corbridge which had some amazing cafes. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

Brilliant experience. Jonathan and family are super nice, the place is beyond immaculate, and especially as a family with small children, it has everything you could possibly need and more - one of the best equipped homes we've stayed at on AirBnB. From high chairs, to bed barriers, books, games, children's toys, it had everything we could need to make our stay comfortable and easy. The garden area is huge, with plenty for our kids to do; complete even with a resident chicken roaming the garden! The location is beautiful, surrounded by fells, and it's a short drive from Keswick. Thanks for a lovely weekend, and we hope to stay again in the future.

Had a wonderful time at this lovely location. Beautiful place and great hosts. Would definitely stay again.

Andrew and Lynn are fabulous hosts! They were super fast to communicate with me and gave me everything I could possibly need for our stay at their lovely cottage. Some of the crockery was a bit dirty when we arrived, but judging by the perfect cleanliness of the rest of the house, I suspect this was the previous occupants. The cottage is in a wonderfully quiet area, with very few passing cars and beautiful scenery! There are no parks or shops very local, but we had some gorgeous walks to explore the village and there are loads of places within a short drive. Would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend Andrew and Lynn as hosts!

Lovely place to stay & good location for exploring the Lakes. Very spacious, good sized bedrooms & comfy beds. Nice garden area. Huge kitchen with everything you need. utility room very useful with WM & Dryer. Hopefully we can return later in the year. thank you Simon

Perfectly located for walkers. A relaxing place with great amenities. We had a wonderful stay.

We had such a lovely week here! Within a day we were plotting our return. Karen's cottage is just gorgeous. Went with my other half and his parents and it was a perfect size for 4 (we then had a few days to ourselves after they left and great for 2 people as well). Wonderful views from the windows and from the front yard. It was a little cool for us to sit at the table outside but we did manage one lunch outside and in warmer weather it would be glorious both day and night. The house is clean, quiet, comfy beds, good shower, lovely decor, great woodburner, all mod cons needed in the kitchen, and really nicely done up. So ticks all boxes basically! The location is perfect - just 5 min walk to the little high street and the pubs (great pubs & great beer)and eateries there. Karen is great - super friendly and helpful - gave us lots of tips about the local area. And great to communicate with - replies within minutes. Def recommend and very much hope to return soon.

Great spot, roomy and clean. We enjoyed our stay and will be back at some point.
