• "Hill Side Barn is a wonderfully placed gem of a holiday cottage, spacious and cosy and well-stocked with everything you could need."

  Many thanks to Steve and Carol for the very kind bottle of wine on arrival and for helping us out when we couldn't get the wi-fi to work! My friends and I absolutely loved getting visits from the resident farm cat, and the hot tub was always a joy at the end of a busy evening. One thing for potential visitors to note - the stairs down to the bedrooms are very narrow and the handrails a little wobbly, so do be careful if anyone in your party has mobility difficulties. I found them a touch difficult to navigate with my cane, but there are outdoor stairs (and a sloped driveway) to the lower floor which are shallower and broader. We had a wonderful time, and would heartily recommend this place!

• "We had an amazing stay at Hillside Barn."

  The property was immaculate and clean and the hot tub a welcoming sight after each day of activities and walking in the beautiful area of South Lakeland. Ulverston is only 10 minutes away by car and has everything you need. It was so lovely to stay away from the main resorts - a truly relaxing break which all of our family loved

• "What can I say?"

  I am so glad that I came across this gem of a property. Hillside Barn is immaculate and the owners have thought of everything you need from the well-equipped kitchen to books, games, and DVDs. We arrived late at night and the lights were on when we arrived and a welcome bottle of wine was waiting for us. We loved the owner's dog coming to visit us and the cows and sheep in the field next to us kept us entertained. The hot tube was amazing, especially after a busy day exploring the Lakes. I would not hesitate to recommend this property and we hope to return. Thank you Ste and Carol for the perfect stay.

  Hot tub was hot on arrival, plenty of hot water for showering and good water pressure. Very organised in terms of recycling, firelighters, logs etc. We even joined the local FB group and got great recommendations for restaurants, bars and taxis. We'd definitely go back.

  We came here on a girls weekend and it was fabulous. The amenities are about 4 mile walk away; and it’s quite hilly so be prepared for that - and getting a taxi back was impossible, so I’d advise to book in advance. The meal we had at the Farmers Arms was beautiful though and definitely worth the walk. The whole weekend was wonderful and the prosecco / snacks on arrival were such a lovely touch. We will definitely be back, in fact we’re already planning our next stay!

  Comfortable & spacious. Some information on the TV controls would be useful & a note it takes awhile to get a connection. Shower seal in the main bathroom needs replacing & it could do with coming off ever so often for a clean. Bedrooms were a bonus as they were lovely & cool for sleeping. We would recommend the Hillside Barn to anyone who was visiting that area. The welcome gift of wine & handmade crisps was appreciated.

• "What an absolute find!"

  The barn was just as pretty as the pictures. Plenty of space for the 5 of us. One of the most comfortable beds we have ever had away from home. The kitchen was really well equipped with pans and equipment. My only comment would be that there could have been more, cups, glasses and cutlery, as there was only exact 6 of each which meant you could not really use the dishwasher. But we just washed by hand instead! This is just a comment, as I could not criticise the cottage, it was too nice! The hot tub was lovely! Sadly for us, the weather was not so kind but we still managed to grab a couple of chilled moments in the tub! Definitely coming back to it in the future

• "We could happily have stayed here forever."

  Hillside Barn is idyllically set in pretty countryside (beautiful views and narrow roads to get there as you would expect). We opened our door to see cows and sheep in the field beside us. It is wonderfully quiet and peaceful and yet only a 5 minute drive into Ulverston town. There are a few other properties onsite, but they are mostly hidden and it felt for the most part that we were the only people there. The property is impeccably clean, the cleanest I have ever seen, the hot tub was amazing and fit 6 of us easily, I genuinely wouldn't hesitate to go back.

  The cottage is well maintained, lovely and clean and beds very comfy. I was extremely surprised at how well equipped the cottage was too. I'd actually brought a few things for the kitchen (dishwasher tablets, tea towels, bin bags and a small highchair for my daugher) but everything and more, was there! The wine and chocolates on arrival was a lovely touch. My son loved the play cottage (daisy cottage, I think?) And he also loved that he could see baa baa black sheep from our property. We decided to book a holiday very last minute, so pleased we came across this this. Will definitely recommend you to family and friends! Thank you! ☆☆☆☆☆

  Came for a girls weekend to celebrate a birtgday and was overwhelmed by the beautiful location and setting. The cottage itself was clean and the decor was lovely. The walk in to Ulverston was great, the walk back was a bit of a killer though and the local taxi company were rude and refused to take us and hung up, simply not far enough. The hot tub was well needed after the walk back !!! The resident cat was a beauty and adopted us

  We travelled as a party of 5 which included a 4 year old. The property was easy to find and was clean and warm upon arrival. The living space is upstairs whilst the 3 bedrooms (one of which ensuite) are downstairs. It was also great to have a hot tub and despite the rainy weather we still made good use of it each day, our only very minor recommendation would be that the hot tub has a canopy/cover over as some of our party avoided using it if raining (we did pull the parasol over which the younger people in the party really didn't mind!) We had everything we needed during our stay, we were left with details of the owner and maintenance however, we did not have to contact them at any point. There are also other properties on the same site however, Hill Side Barn was extremely private (I can't answer for the others). It's a lovely area which has fantastic views. Ulverston is the nearest town only 3 miles away, but during our stay we also visited the South Lakes Zoo, Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, Windermere, Laurel and Hardy museum, Lakeland Motor museum and the Lakes Aquarium, as well as a meal out in Ulverston (a busy week!) We thoroughly enjoyed our week away and two members of the party have already enquired about staying in one of the other properties. We would not hesitate in staying again should we be in the Lake District.

It is in a lovely quiet area with Ulverston a couple of miles away. It is nice to look outside and see cows or sheep in the fields.

  On arrival it was as simple as a handshake and straight in to the property. Opened the door to find lights on, heating on, xmas tree lights on and could not have been more welcoming. Once in and sorted we found the instructions for our stay along with a lovely bottle of white wine which was fab. The barn is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need especially in the kitchen, you just need to turn up and enjoy as they have catered for everything. The barn itself is cosy and the decor sympathetic to the surroundings, looking out over fields and seeing the sheep wander by is lovely. The Hot Tub was the winner, big enough for our family of 6 and enjoyed by all. Extremely clean everywhere and big comfy sofas, also being open plan upstairs means there is plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing. The bedrooms are clean and light and all bathrooms clean, fresh towels was a great touch. We had a look around the grounds and all the cottages, barns & lodges look fantastic. Everywhere is spotless and well maintained. We did go on a few walks and the views are amazing plus the local town is only a few miles away if you fancy a drink or need to stock up.

  Completely secluded and away from the world, it was the perfect break that we really needed. Sat Nav said we'd arrived, and there was nothing to be seen. Thankfully, we'd got the direction details and saw the little Yellow marker and headed down what first appeared to be a rough road to the reservoir, before seeing Hill Side Barn come in to view. Lots of details left by the owner, including a nice bottle of red, which was most enjoyable. Hot Tub was freshly cleaned and filled, and a starter pack ready for the wood burner.. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need and again some tea, coffee, sugar and milk for our first evening. Found a box containing lots of leaflets about local activities and attractions which was helpful. Steve also left a leaflet with takeaway's and local pubs that could be recommended. Our 2 little visitors also made the stay very special. Millie & Molly, 2 very friendly cats who came to see us each morning and evening... They were somewhat spoiled with food whilst we were there.. All in all it was a wonderful, peaceful and quiet break and without any doubt a place we will be going to again in the future.

• "Hill Side Barn is fantastic."

  A beautiful cottage where you can do nothing but relax. The setting is wonderful, the hot tub a gorgeous addition. Supplies can be picked up locally in Ulverston to take home and cook in the well stocked kitchen. For a short or long break it’s perfect. Short walks reveal beautiful landscapes and everywhere in the lakes is easily accessible by car. Highly recommended.

• "Amazing property and location."

  Very tranquil setting, just what we needed... Hot tub was great to relax in. Owners pets (3 cats and 1 dog) did become regular visitors for our daughter, which she enjoyed. Will definitely return either to the same property or one of the other's in the same grounds.

• "The cottage was almost perfect."

  The cottage was beautiful, the facilities excellent, location perfect, lovely comfortable bed, lots of clean towels, hot tub an absolute treat, as was the bottle of wine, milk, tea/coffee etc. Plenty of DVDs, books, magazines to choose from, lots of local information. However note of caution, we chose this cottage as it said no pets and I have a severe allergy to cats. Unfortunately we were plagued by 3 cats. The weather was glorious but we were unable to open windows and the patio doors as the 3 cats would come in. My poor husband spent half the time shooing cats away on what was a much needed break and celebration. We lost count how many times he had to get out of the hot tub, to shoo them away (including trying to curl up in the towels). We struggled to eat our evening meals on the patio as they kept brushing themselves against us and the furniture. In a morning we would open the curtains to the patio door and they would be sat waiting to come in and it was a challenge to get out of the cottage without at least one of them slipping in. I cannot go within 6 feet of a cat, and I had 3 to keep away from. An absolute gem of a cottage if you aren't allergic to cats.

• "On arrival Hill Side Barn 'felt like home' Lovely and clean plus milk left in the fridge along with basic essentials, dishwasher tablets and even a bottle of wine."

  A lot of care and attention to detail had gone into making our stay as comfortable as possible. Top quality furnishings throughout. The hot tub was a real bonus, a first for us. Beautiful setting where you can really relax. We especially loved meeting the 2 cats Milly and Molly. They always greeted us, in the hope we'd give them some more Dreamies. We're hoping to stay here again next year and would definitely recommend.
