"Great."

"One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in!"
We really enjoyed our stay - very clean and comfortable with walks from the door, but also within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales, the Coast and the Lake District. We hope to return next year.

"The accommodation was clean and comfortable, it felt home from home."
The location was very quiet and in a good position for visiting the local area. No complaints. Having introduced herself on the first day the owner left us to get on with our holiday although we knew that if there was a problem she would have been available to resolve it.
Very glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Property Owner

The owner pam was very helpful and friendly the property was very private the only thing which I was disappointed with was the bed mattress l found it very uncomfortable but that's a personal comment other people might fine it ok
Hi Andrew, thanks for your comments. You are the first person to not like the bed mattress as it normally gets very positive comments (see the previous review). I guess it’s a personal thing. Best regards Pam Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay, the property is of a high standard."

"Old Crow Trees Barn provides superb accommodation for a short break in a delightful, peaceful setting."
The barn is tastefully decorated and furnished. It is spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The kitchen has the bonus of lots of cupboard space and a large fridge freezer - something sadly lacking in so many holiday rentals. We had a very wet week, but were warm and cosy with the central heating and wood burning stove. There was a welcome pack of tea, coffee, fresh milk, a bottle of Pinot Grigio and some delicious biscuits - all much appreciated. Pam, the owner, popped round to check everything was OK and was quick to respond to any queries. Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (a few miles down the road) is a must and there’s lots to see the nearby town of Kirkby Lonsdale. There was a scenic 3-4 mile circular walk straight from the barn, which took in green lanes, river banks, fields and woodland, though wellies were a must for this! We would highly recommend Old Crow Trees Barn for anyone wanting to explore the Lune Valley.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Tricia. Regards Pam Property Owner
-

"It was a beautiful property in a lovely setting."
The owner made us feel very welcome and had provided everything necessary for a restful, happy holiday. The Lune valley is an area well worth exploring and the cottage is well placed for several areas of natural beauty. I went by other recommendations when I booked and I was not disappointed.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Regards Pam Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings, very quiet and private."
We.don't often give top ratings in every category, but this deserves it. Even the weather was brilliant! I just wish that a booking through Sykes didn't produce so.many sales emails - really irritating.....

"Just Perfect."
A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Warm and cosy, lots of space and equipped to a very high standard. Melling is an excellent centre for exploring the stunning Lune valley, the Morecambe Bay coast, the north Yorkshire Dales and the southern area of the Lake District. Many good places to eat near by including cosy pubs. Many thanks to owner Pam for creating this piece of Heaven.
Thank you for such a fantastic review. We hope you will return again in the future. pam Property Owner

"We can't recommend this cottage highly enough, we have stayed in many cottages over the years but this one comes out on top."
We had three weeks here which gave us the opportunity to explore a lovely area at a beautiful time of the year. Spring certainly was a perfect time to visit. Pam the owner was very accommodating and nothing seemed to much trouble. I always read reviews before l book a cottage, this one certainly exceeded our expectations. Book it you won't be disappointed.
Hi Denise, Thank you so much for your lovely review. Lovely to meet you both. Pam Property Owner

"Lovely accommodation."
Beautifully clean, well equipped, very comfortable and quite a luxurious feel. Ideally situated to explore areas of Lancashire, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. If you are a couple who like exploring the countryside, good local food, good local beers and you enjoy peace and tranquility, then I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay for a romantic getaway. My wife and I really enjoyed it and will highly likely book again.
Thank you for your kind review. We look forward to seeing you both again in the future. Property Owner

Ideal location to get away from it all. Peaceful and tranquil location. Owners were across the drive if needed. Wonderful cottage where we celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We will be back next year hopefully.

"Had a lovely week at Old Crow Trees, we really enjoyed the peace, tranquility and comfort provided."
The barn has been designed and decorated to a very high standard, giving plenty of space for a couple's holiday and a pleasure to return to each day. It is ideally situated to visit many local attractions for walks and sightseeing and, as our week only allowed us to scratch the surface, we will hopefully return in the future.
Thank you for your kind words Christine. Property Owner

"Great roomy cottage beautifully presented in a picturesque setting with a welcoming owner."
What more could you want? We loved it so much we've already booked another holiday there later this year. Sue
-
"I can honestly say that Old Crow Trees Barn was one of the best holiday cottages we've rented & certainly the most spacious for two people."
It's obvious that the barn has been lovingly restored & very well maintained. Our pack on arrival was most welcome before we were able to do a shop. Thank you Pam for everything & it was nice to meet you! PS Facilities would have had full marks except I thought the addition of a washer or just a drier would be very helpful for walkers' gear if staying over a longer period.
-
"A lovely cottage to stay for a holiday."
This was our 4th time here and can’t wait to come and stay again. It was great to meet Pam this time. xx
Glad you enjoyed it Diane and lovely to finally meet you too ! Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay."
The barn is on the owners' property so they are at hand, but well-laid out so it's looking over trees and fields and has privacy. It's elegantly decorated and wonderfully peaceful.
-
"A lovely welcome back from the owner."
Very covid secure-beautiful maintained and cleaned. Wonderful area with easy access to so many wonderful walks.
-
"Séjour parfait."
Le cottage est vraiment mignon, très propre et très bien équipé (il manque juste un lave-linge). La chambre est très belle, avec sa fenêtre basse dont la vue donne sur le jardin et le champ voisin. La salle de bains impeccable avec douche à l'italienne, une grande baignoire et des toilettes. Il y a aussi des toilettes indépendantes au rez-de-chaussée. Pam a su rendre notre séjour en quarantaine extrêmement agréable et nous a rendu service à chaque fois que c'était nécessaire avec la plus grande gentillesse. La région est magnifique. Le tout nous à permis de passer un très beau séjour.

"This is probably the best holiday cottage we have rented in England."
The location was idyllic, the cottage was beautifully maintained with good quality fixtures and fittings and there is absolutely nothing we could fault. Definitely highly recommended.
-
"Beautiful property, surroundings and area."
Very relaxing and tranquil, a wonderful place to unwind. We loved it, and will return.
-
"Great location, as its near to our relatives and the Lakes or the Yorkshire ..."
Great location, as its near to our relatives and the Lakes or the Yorkshire Dales are within one hours drive ,both giveing good walking and lots to see Have stayed there twice and are planning to return ,later this year
-
"Incredibly high standard cottage."
One of the best we have ever stayed in. Very well equipped with everything you could want In a beautiful quiet location surrounded by great countryside for outdoor activities as well as being close to Lancaster, The Lakes and Yorkshire Dales. I would unreservedly recommend
-
"The barn is absolutely beautiful, very tastefully refurbished."
It has everything required to be a real home from home. The log burner, although the barn is very warm and cosy just adds to the whole country experience. It is by far the best two person accommodation we have stayed in, the rooms are airy and spacious although the photographs are excellent, the barn looks more stunning in person. The location is wonderful, Kirby Lonsdale is only a short drive away and has a lovely river walk and a great village with restaurants, cafes and shops which has managed to retain its charm. Bentham, Kendal, the lakes are all close by. Cannot recommend the barn and the location enough, it was a great New Year break and it didn’t rain in the day!
-
"A lovely home from home in a great location, very relaxing."
Property was very clean and well looked after as were we. It’s an ideal base to visit lots of places and to then return in the evenings to peace and quite and a lovely fire. We walked a couple of miles on the Sunday to a nearby village to have a proper Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Would highly recommend, the owners even let us check out a bit later to watch the end of the Rugby World Cup final, shame the result was not as perfect as our stay!
-
"We had high expectations of Old Crow Trees Barn and we were not disappointed."
We were looking for a little bit of luxury with comfort, charm, warmth, style and a perfect situation to explore the beautiful area. It is exceptionally spacious but does not lose the 'cosy' aspect. All our needs were well catered for with a good kitchen dining area. The wood-burning stove gave the evenings total charm. The bathroom is gorgeous with a luxury power shower you could fit several people in at once. The luxury of a lovely warm bath after a walk was great. We felt very special in the beautifully appointed bedroom with a view onto green fields and a comfy bed. We managed to do a lot of walking even though the weather was rainy. I would say the area rivals cumbria for charm. There were several excellent eateries within easy distance. We loved our holiday and hope to be back soon.
-
"This cottage epitomized the standard we have some to expect from Sykes registered accommodation."
We appreciated the spaciousness of this one bedroom property and all the facilities and equipment within it. All the fittings and general maintenance were top quality and we enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing week, knowing the friendly owners were nearby if we needed anything.
-
"We had been to the cottage earlier in the year, so we knew what to expect."
The cottage is very peaceful and relaxing, everything you need is provided and it is very convenient for both the lakes and the dales. An added bonus is Lancaster and Morcambe are nearby. Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday.
-
"A very well designed and maintained cottage."
It was even better than described Owners gave us privacy but were there if needed. We were very happy to return to the cottage each day after our travels as it was spacious and peaceful. We have already recommended it to friends on our return.
-
"A most beautiful cottage in a perfect location for exploring the Lune valley and Yorkshire Dales."
Situated in a quiet little village a perfect location to get away from it all. The cottage has everything you could wish for all of a very high standard with some very special extra touches. Very useful local information provided .
-
"Beautiful cottage in a lovely village."
Perfect!
-
"Beautiful cottage with comfy bed and fabulous bathroom, quiet location, and central for many local attractions."
The owner was friendly and very helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"This is a fantastic cottage for two."
Everything has been thought of to allow the tenant to have a wonderful holiday. It is the best cottage we have been to and we have been to dozens and dozens. The owner is very friendly and extremely helpful. There if you need her, but will not intrude. It's warm and cosy with a really good bathroom with bath and shower as well as a downstairs toilet and basin. Lovely views over the fields, with plenty of walks from the door. We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough and will be back next year if not sooner.
-
"This is the third cottage booked with Sykes Cottages and all have been superb."
Old Crow Trees was in a quiet location and gave easy access to many local beauty spots. Would highly recommend.
-
"An excellent location for a relaxing holiday in the Lune Valley area."
The Old Crow Trees Barn was an excellent, quiet retreat which was a pleasure to return to each evening.
-
"The cottage was the ideal place to stay to explore the lakes, dales and Morecambe Bay."
We could not have asked for a more peaceful and well equipped place to stay. We are looking forward to going again in September. The cottage was beautifully clean and roomy.
-
"Old Crow Trees barn is a beautiful couple's retreat with super comfortable, clean and generously sized accommodation with all the amenities you could wish for."
The photos do not do it justice! Pam is a very friendly and helpful host who has thought of everything to make the accommodation among the best we have ever stayed in and we hope to have a return visit at some point.
-

I would definitely recommend as an excellent base for visiting Lancashire, Cumbria or North Yorkshire.

A lovely lovely cottage in a very quiet setting and we are wondering when the Doves will fly. Gordon Maltby.

-
"Beautiful cottage in a perfect location for the dales,lakes and Lancashire coast."

"The Cottage was in immaculate condition, and so were the grounds, and was nice and quite and very relaxing, and it's position is great for the Lakes , Yorkshire and of coarse Lancashire."
We had great days out and a comfortable home to retune too. and had good meals out at Kirby - Lonsdale. Paul and Margaret Wright.
-
"This barn was a wonderful place to stay,every thing you would ever need was provided ."
Set in a rural village it was so peaceful with views over pasture land with lots of birds to watch. For a country person this is a perfect place for a holiday not far from the Dales or Lakes.
-
"The house was beautiful and a very high standard."
The owners left lovely finishing touches such as umbrellas to borrow, milk and wine in the fridge and yummy biscuits on the side. We felt very at home and had a lovely relaxed stay. Everything had been carefully thought about to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Plenty to do and see in the area.
-
"A wonderful cottage , felt very much at home , clean , peace and quiet , every thing you could want from an holiday cottage , hope to return in the near future ."
-
"The accommodation is beautiful (we loved the new deep pile carpet on the stairs and in the bedroom) and the sense of rest and quiet was so enjoyable and just what we needed."
We explored the Yorkshire Dales and had a particularly memorable walk along the Ingleton Waterfall trail on our last day when the rain had swollen the rivers to make a dramatic display.
-
"If its a romantic break or just a get away from it all break, then this is the place for you."
Fantastic accommodation, stunning surroundings and right on the border of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the nearest town is Kirby Lonsdale, well worth a trip to, pop into a local café and relax in front of a roaring fire. I would highly recommend a stay at old crow tree barn in Melling to anyone.
-
"An outstanding stay."
A beautiful home, outstandingly clean, in a great setting. The hosts were perfect. We'd thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay - certainly the nicest holiday cottage we've ever been to. A beautiful place!

About the location
MELLING
Kirkby Lonsdale 6 miles; Ingleton 10 miles.
The quiet village of Melling, in the lovely Lune Valley, is bordered by the famous Lake District to the north, and the Yorkshire Dales to the east. A delightful village, with evidence of a motte - as with Arkholme and Whittington - but Melling has no surviving bailey. It's also situated close to where the River Wenning joins the River Lune. Nearby Hornby Castle is set on a high hill overlooking the river and is known as the subject of one of Turner's best-loved paintings. Consisting of a scattering of traditional stone-built houses, a beautiful Norman church and several 'undiscovered' quiet walks around the village and other, more frequented walks and places of interest close by. Nearby Kirkby Lonsdale is a popular town, with the Old Devil's Bridge a delightful spot to stop for a coffee beside the River Lune, while a number of antique shops and curios can be found in the town, along with an excellent selection of restaurants and pubs. 'Ruskin's View' can also be accessed from Kirkby Lonsdale, where you may walk in the famous artist’s footsteps and experience the views that inspired him.
Note: Adults only.
