• "We had a fantastic weekend here at Meadow Syke Byre complete with hot tub in the most stunning, peaceful location."

  The property itself is immaculately clean, cosy and warm and there is nothing we were short off. It was so safe for our dogs and no gaps in the fences that we needed to worry about. Ruth the owner was very friendly and helpful. Wine and biscuits on arrival too

• "An absolutely stunning place, the level of quality on fixtures and fittings is high end."

  The cleanliness was excellent, with all accessories required available. The welcome from Ruth the owner was second to non. The cottage itself is set in lovely working farmland, and the views are wonderful, especially when viewed sat in the hot tub! One highlight worthy of a mention, is the visiting Red Squirrel/Squirrels, a brilliant experience. This holiday cottage is high on our agenda, to visit again. We really didn't want to leave! Highly recommended.

• "We absolutely loved our stay here for our first weekend away together!"

  Ruth was an amazing host and was so helpful and understanding when we were running very late due to our car breaking down on the motorway from Leeds! The property itself is absolutely beautiful and Ruth has thought of everything to make it feel like home! The towel Swans on the bed were ace! The hot tub was amazing and we spent hours sat watching the stars and admiring the views. We will absolutely be booking to stay here again!

• "It was a truly lovely place to stay."

  The owner made everything really comfortable and was so helpful and welcoming. The barn was done to a beautiful standard and everything was so tasteful but with character. The hot tub was a pleasure from where you looked out at fantastic views. A peaceful location away from it all.

• "Thankyou for such an amazing stay."

  Your cottage is second to none. So peaceful but close to the local pub if needed for beautiful food and refreshments. Hot tub is tranquil, just sitting watching the views and red squirrel in the tree. The super king bed is a luxury and the large walk in shower is amazing. The cottage is spotlessly clean and modern with everything you need and more with local walks from the doorstep. Very dog friendly with secure dog fields all around and even a doggy barn with dog shower and towels for after your muddy walks. Also in the barn is washing machine and dryer if needed. Ruth the host is a lovely friendly, helpful lady whom is a phone all away if needed. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to this beautiful place which is central for your visits around the lakes. Thankyou so much, we will be back x

• "Absolutely exquisite!"

  A superb base from which to explore the Lake District. Extremely comfortable and in a rural location which was as peaceful as it is beautiful. The attention to detail which Ruth has lavished on this sanctuary is second to none and to be envied by many a top end hotel.

• "Absolutely stunning."

  Detailed to perfection. Gloriously modern yet still cosy. Bathroom is beautiful. Location, hot tub, kitchen, bathroom, bed, everything just wonderful Great price too and I would highly recommend going with a group of friends / family and hiring both the cottages out so it’s all private. Only thing I just suggest, please put an extra gate between the two cottages. For privacy and to stop dog fights. Thank you for an amazing time

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We Have taken on board your comments regarding the small gate between the properties and have fitted a solid fence pannel. We are so pleased you had an amazing time. Property Owner

• "Meadow Skye Byre is truly a wonderful cottage for a quiet, relaxing break."

  Ruth the host is brilliant with her local knowledge and keeps the property and surrounding area immaculate. This area of The Lakes is wonderfully unspoilt and quiet, perfect to get away from it all and see the red squirrels morning and night. The cottage itself is clean, well equipped and very dog friendly - the dog field/s are amazing. Lovely super king bed. Views are stunning. We never go back to a property, but this cottage was so good, we're coming back next year.

  A warm welcome from Ruth and treats for both ourselves and our dog were a nice touch and very much appreciated. The property is well situated for exploring The Lakes and is easy to find, helped by good directions from Ruth. The peace and tranquillity of the surroundings together with glorious weather were exactly what we needed and we would definitely stay again.

• "We have just left after spending a week in this cottage and loved it so much we are going to rebook as soon as we get home!"

  Ruth is an amazing host and met us at the property after a very long drive. She showed us around the property and also kept us up to date during our stay when there was a power cut, which was appreciated. The cottage is just beautiful and perfect. The attention to detail during the renovation of the barn is spot on. The cottage itself is spotless, and has all the amenities that you need. The bed was so comfortable, we are going to buy the same mattress for our home! The hot tub was just what we needed after exploring the area. Our two dogs were well catered for with bowls, blankets and towels along with some welcome biscuits for them. The cottage comes with bi fold doors, which we took advantage of when the weather was nice, and it just made the property feel so much bigger. We would have liked a 3 seater sofa or a small chair in the living room as we felt the seating area was restricted, but that is just a very minor detail. I have seen a review on the bigger cottage next door, complaining about access to the property being difficult and you cannot swing your car into the access point if you approach from the left hand side. Ignore that negative review, we have a 4x4 vehicle and managed to do it every time with no issues! All in all, we loved staying here, the dogs loved it and we will be back soon!

  The hot tub was fantastic, the bed was so comfortable and it was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We'd have liked a slightly bigger sofa to sit and watch TV but that's the only slightly negative point. We'd 100% book again

• "Fantastic property, fantastic location, fantastic host."

  Everything was perfect for us and the dog washing facility was greatly appreciated at the end of a very muddy 8 hour hike. Ruth was a lovely host and nothing seemed too much trouble, coming to our rescue to help us get to a 50th birthday meal. The location was ideal to get out and explore the hills and the barn was a great place to relax at the end of a hike. The hot tub was nice and hot even on a cold rainy evening. Also the bed was so comfy, we almost took it back home with us. Thank you again for a memorably stay. I wouldn’t to have wanted to celebrate my birthday anywhere else.

• "Our stay was absolutely amazing."

  The lovely warm welcome from Ruth was much appreciated. The barn was spotless, and had everything you could think of. We had our very large cane corso with us who we sometimes worry about travelling with due to his size, but Ruth was really good with him. The treats, extra bowls, towels and throws were great. The enclosed field straight outside the barn was amazing for him to run around on inbetween adventures! The hot tub was amazing and Ruth came everyday to check it which was great and really appreciated. The bed was sooo comfy and great after a long day of walking when you were aching. Thanks again for such a perfect break. We will definitely be back

  We met Ruth on arrival and what a lovely lady, Both properties were decorated for Xmas, trees, ornaments etc which was amazing. Hot tub was great addition. The underfloor heating was a godsend. Both properties are furnished to a high standard & all mod cons. We had 3 dogs with us who were well catered for, blankets, towels & treats.

• "Absolutely fantastic property, immaculately clean and beautifully presented with a very generous welcome pack."

  Ruth met us on arrival and took us through the property showing us everything and also some great historical facts reference the barn. Her enthusiasm for the area and recommendations meant we had some wonderful days out. Perfectly located for a tranquil and peaceful getaway while allowing easy routes in all directions for great exploration of the lakes and further a field. We would love to return next year and will be recommending this wonderful accommodation to family and friends. We had our 2 pooches with us and had access to dog shower and washing/drying room with dog treats, towels etc. We were visited by red squirrels, wood peckers and tree creepers. The hot tub of an evening under the stars & Milky Way as well as being able to see the Northern Lights was incredible! An absolutely Perfect Week away!

  We needn't have worried as the property was amazing. The little touches like treats and towels for the dog and a lovely welcome basket was very much appreciated. Our host Ruth was lovely and very welcoming and she pointed out places to walk and eat.But the hot tub at the end of a long day walking and sightseeing was absolute heaven and a great vantage point for watching the red squirrels.

  Ruth was very welcoming and friendly, telling us if we needed anything just to give her a call. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well laid out, we had a very relaxing time staying at the Meadow Byre, just sitting in the small garden watching the red squirrels. The amenities that were provided were all you could wish for during a self catering holiday, including a bottle of wine as part of the the welcome pack whichincluded tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and other basics. We really had a most enjoyable and relaxing time and we intend to book again.

  Very comfortable and clean. Ruth was there to meet us and was perfect host. Hot tub was great and garden was secure for our dogs. Short walk to village for the pub and store. Can’t fault anything. One great addition would be a structure over hot tub for keeping rain off in our great British summertime.

  . Only downside was whilst eating at the table the sun gets in your eyes.. We couldn't get on internet most days too, to watch tv.. probably due to where we were.. but we had the hot tub to enjoy instead..

  We are so glad you enjoyed the cottage & had everything you needed, but we were sorry to hear you had a problem with the TV internet. We were totaly unaware there was an issue. We have now addressed this which was not due to where you were but a hardwear issue which has now been fixed Property Owner

  The location is perfect, we loved looking out and seeing the red squirrels and the sheep.

  The location is idyllic. The barn is beautifully decorated with top quality finishes throughout. The hot tub is a real winner after a long day walking round the lakes which are all within a 50 min drive (Windermere) and some as close as 20 mins away (Ullswater). The host has thought of pretty much everything - fully equipped kitchen, treats for the dog and us on arrival, everything you’d want in a home from home. Can’t recommend it enough. We will be back!

• "Absolutely FANTASTIC property."

  Me, my partner and our 2 Labradors (Heidi & Zoe) stayed here for the weekend (first weekend of opening) and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home for the weekend. Everything was completely perfect from start to finish - there wasn’t anything more we could of asked for at Meadow Syke Byre. Ruth was very welcoming and showed us around the property, explained how the hot tub worked and also showed us the utility room - dog shower, one word… AMAZING and well needed after busy days exploring The Lake District. The whole accommodation and lay out is very well thought out and at such a high standard. The bed was by far the comfiest we have EVER slept on - so much so we’ve already ordered a DreamCloud mattress since visiting! We were also amazed to find out there is a door through to the property next door - fabulous if you’re going away with family or friends and one we will definitely bare in mind for future bookings. The fields outside the property were amazing and extremely useful for letting the girls out for a run first thing on a morning and last thing at night! Overall we had a perfect weekend at Meadow Syke Barn, we will 100% recommend the property to family and friends and hopefully be back again when we next explore The Lake District! Thank you Ruth for a wonderful stay - we hope to see you again in the near future, Beth & Marc (and Heidi & Zoe)

  Thanks so much Beth for your lovely comments. I am so please you all had a great weekend and look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner
