"It was quite hard to find, had to ask a few people."
The number on the house isn’t big enough.
The windows were filthy! Apart from that all good. I think we’ve left my husbands dressing gown there and I’ve not heard anything. Too far to collect it.

"Lovely and clean spacious accommodation for a short break away."
Very quiet and relaxing. We did venture into Appleby , Rutter Force and took a train to Hellifield which has a lovely cafe at the train station. Two small things to mention …. The mattress on the double bed with room upstairs with the long beam could do with being replaced it’s very soft and springy and also please let your guests know where the key lock box is for the house. All in all a lovely stay and we would recommend.

"Lovely stay at Colby House Barn."
The property was clean and tidy and well equipped. The location was stunning and wasn’t too far out from the village. A couple of minor touches such as there was only two rolls of toilet roll and two dishwasher tablets, this wasn’t enough for 8 adults over a full weekend. Again only minor touches but spares or a heads up to take your own would have been great!

"A great holiday cottage with everything you could need."
The property was clean and decorated pleasantly. The beds were comfortable, as were the sofas in the living room. This is a great place to stay if you are visiting the Lake District. I would definitely recommend this property. Good value for money.

"Very clean, comfortable accommodation supplied with most things you would need in respect of pots, pans etc."
One small negative was that we could not identify a key to the garage as neither of the two supplied seemed to fit the lock which meant the advertised storage for bikes could not be secured. Overall, a very enjoyable stay in a property we would feel confident to recommend to others.

"Beautiful and well equipped holiday barn, big enough and a nice peaceful location."
Lovely beds and very comfy for a good night sleep.
Took a while to find the key safe, maybe send the info with the key code.
We had a lovely break away and lots of walks to do near by and Appleby is a lovely place to have a look around which is near to the property.

"The location of the property is brilliant as we were able to relax without the worry of others around us incase we made too much noise!"
The house is stunning and we loved everything about it, we’ve already discussed about returning in the future as we have fallen in love with the property.
The care that Graham and Michelle have put into the property is clear as we felt at home in the house despite being so far away from our own. The attention to detail is amazing, there’s Netflix and Prime Video on the tv, we made use of this and they even turned the heating on prior to our arrival to the house would be nice and toasty for when we arrived!
Local scenery surrounding the house is truly beautiful, we went for a walk on our second day and stumbled across a field of cows two minutes after leaving the property. The walk into Appleby isn’t too far either!
We would highly recommend booking a stay at this location as you’ll immediately feel at home and if you ever need anything Graham and Michelle are only a phone call away.
Gets an 11/10 score from us!

"Good evening,
After arriving back from this short weekend away I can’t express how amazed I was with this accommodation."
The owners were pleasant friendly and extremely helpful. The house was immaculately clean and designed in a homey and cosy way. We were impressed with all the basics being provided such as bedding, towels etc.
It was a great location surrounded by beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed sitting by the toasty fire. Great use of TV stations and WiFi connection. There were two bathrooms which was very useful and we loved the added decorations around the house.
We are so happy with the location of the house, cleanliness and how easy it was to be in contact with the owners and receive immediate responses.
Definitely would recommend and will definitely be going back some time soon with family and friends.
Thank you for allowing us to have a great time!!
