  • "Lovely property."

    Everything we needed. Kitchen was very well equipped and everything was easy to use. Loved the fenced off area for the dog with the dog bin and even bags!! Lovely and quiet, just right for a relaxing break. Lots of things to do nearby, e.g., Pooley Bridge and Lowther Castle, with a lovely friendly shop in the village. Would have no hesitation in recommending Winder Barn and will certainly be back for another stay

    Thank you Lynda, such lovely comments. Great guests and glad you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to welcoming you back to High Winder. Property Owner

  • "We’ve just come back from a lovely stay at Winder Barn."

    It was extremely clean and had everything you would need whilst away. There was plenty of space for 4 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs. Our 3 year old loved waking up each day seeing red squirrels on the feeder. The dog walking field was very handy and the views in all directions from the Barn were beautiful. It was the perfect base for visiting The Lakes and we would definitely recommend.

    Glad to hear you had a wonderful stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner
