Hill Side Barn Reviews

Lindsay

Had the most amazing and relaxing stay at Hillside barn. The cottage has everything you need to ensure you have a nice chilled, comfortable break away. And they even privide tea, coffee, milk and sugar, which was a very welcomed surprise after a long drive. Close to the town and only 35 mins drive to the lakes, it's location is fab and the views around the cottage are so tranquil. We will definitely be returning again.

An amazing property in a lovely quiet spot. Had everything we could have wanted and the wine and chocolates were a lovely surprise. Will see you again soo

A fabulous property that provides comfort, peace and relaxation in equal measure.

Pauline

Absolutely wonderful stay at the Hillside barn. Comfortable, cosy and quaint! Wouldnt hesitate to recommend for other families.

Claire

What a treasure! We came here on a girls weekend and it was fabulous. The amenities are about 4 mile walk away and its quite hilly so be prepared for that and getting a taxi back was impossible, so Id 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 were already planning our next stay!

Victoria

Immaculate, super well equipped and comfortable. Loved it

First class holiday accommodation. Whatever we needed it was there. Beautiful main room, stunning location with the added bonus of a hot tub. Would definitely return and recommend.

Barbara

A lovely property. 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.

Mercedes

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

Michelle

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.

Sophie

A beautiful barn conversion, in a lovely rural location. 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!

Claire

What a stunning place. 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

Jasmin

Had a really amazing time the barn is so much nicer in real life too. Absolutely would recommend to anyone and would return myself too!!

Hannah

Amazing cottage, lovely layout and plenty of room for 6 people, with 2 bathrooms being a huge benefit. Plenty of parking and great hot tub location. Only 3 miles from Ulverston. Would definitely reccommend.

Jayesh

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Good location and views. Only request would be for more supply more drinking glasses and cutlery.

Had a lovely New Years Eve here we couldnt fault it everything you need. 5 cleanness. Wish it wasnt already booked up for next year will definitely be going back

Beverley

The Barn is absolutely beautiful and the place is stunning, great hot tub, and everything was set out lovely and easy to manage. We as friends have been doing this for six years now and can honestly say that it is one of the best that we have stayed in. Very roomy really nice furniture and spotless. We have all agreed that we are going back next year because we all loved it. Thanks Bev white

Apart from the early issue with the owner about the cleanliness, we are pleased to say this was resolved the next day. We were offered a refund which was not the issue, glad to say we had a really nice stay at the cottage. and Steve was one in a million when it came to lending a hand to my son in law, as his car broke down, he was very helpful indeed, lending out his tools and workshop. above and beyond the usual service. A very quiet and peaceful place to stay. yes I would recommend this property.

Anne Louise

Quite difficult to find, have to turn in on what looks like a farm drive, it's in a really bad state with huge potholes to manoeuvre. WiFi was good, but no smart tv, and signal dropped in and out of regular TV. Didn't feel that clean, lots of flies, kitchen area tiles are broken and cracked. Bedroom 2 really small, lack of natural light, extremely hot and stuffy. Stairs are very steep, whole area is not accessibility friendly. Outside space was good, but no parasol.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay we all really enjoyed it THANKYOU. X

Rachel

This was a lovely property in a beautiful area. The children loved the birds nest under the eaves during our week we watched the chicks learn to fly. We found a lovely walk across fields and country anes to 'The Miners Arms', where we had a lovely pub lunch. The hot tub was a great asset and much enjoyed. We would definitely recommend and would stay again.

We all had a brilliant time at Hill Farm Barn. It was spotlessly clean and tidy when we arrived and the bottle of red wine was a lovely touch! We made full use of the hot tub and the barbecue as we had such good weather, and had lots of lovely walks around the beautiful countryside. Would have no hesitation in recommending this property!

Christine

Had a great stay at Hill Side Barn, beautiful accommodation very clean, spacious and had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful stay and loved the barn. Spacious and very clean, surrounded by stunning views of the fields and watching the lambs running around was glorious. Hot tub a great added bonus for us all to enjoy. The location was lovely and tranquil. Plenty of walks on the doorstep. Ulverston 3 miles away to get groceries etc. We did walk to Pennington to the pub but it wasnt open so check before you go. If there was a little shop, stall onsite just selling milk and bread etc it would have been perfect. We would return.

Deborah

Loved our holiday here, the accommodation surpassed our expectations. Loads of space and beautifully furnished. Only comments would be that a few of the kitchen utensils could do with replacing. Some of the knifes were blunt and there was no cheese grater. Minor issues, we are planning on coming back again in the future, thank you so much for a lovely week

What a beautiful place to stay. The location is perfect, nicely tucked away from distractions but only a 10 min drive to Ulverston. The barn was immaculate throughout. Well thought through and safe for the kids. We had an amazing stay and will certainly be coming back.

Excellent customer service from start to finish from Sykes Cottages and will certainly book again through yourselves. The Cottage was perfectly clean and we received a warm welcome. Everything from suitable amount of towels to hair dryer and even straighteners. The hot tub was attended to each morning by site staff, meaning it was always clean. We had the most perfect stay and would highly recommend the cottage and booking with Sykes Cottages.

What a wonderful cottage we stayed in! The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked with equipment and it was perfectly cozy! We felt it was a home from home and the hot tub just topped off the relaxation.

Absolutely amazing barn, very clean and theres everything you would need for a longer stay, we were there over the stormy weekend where we had every weather condition possible, but the owners came to see us and had everything we needed when we were without power for a few hours, they were lovely. Would deffo recommend and wed definitely return with a small group again.

Stunning cottage and beautiful setting . The little town of ulverston is only a short drive away and has plenty of nice little shops as well .

Hillside barn is excellent. 100 perfect stay. The barn is equipped with everything we needed and more. Comfy beds, immaculately clean, bright and spacious and in a superb location. Friendly and helpful host. Would highly highly recommend.

Amazing place for some piece and quite, the cottage was outstanding very good facilities and the hot tub was amazing! The local town is 10mins drive away plenty of shops etc for anything needed and the owner was very helpful when meeded had an amazing time here.

Superb cottage, immaculately presented with excellent facilities. Couldn't fault it.

We had a lovely time. The weather was awful for 3 of the 4 days but that only gave us time to enjoy the spacious, comfortable & well equipped accommodation. On the sunny day we had a fantastic time on a boat ride on Windermere from Lakeside to Bowness where we spent a lovely afternoon with coffe stop, shopping & a late lunch! Back to the hottub to warm us up and settle down for envening. There was 3 of us but we know the place is even spacious enough for 6! Wonderful and thank you.

Elaine

House was lovely and the hot tub was very well used over the week. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet location and home comforts. A minor observation is that the property would benefit from a larger fridge, especially if you want to eat there most of the time. Otherwise we were extremely happy with the house.

Bradley

Great location with beautiful views everywhere a cute friendly little dog and cats welcome you to this spacious house with a large hot tub to relax in peace.

Samantha

Had a marvellous week. Not only was the weather amazing but the property was also lovely. Very well equipped, clean and fitted out to a very good standard. Would definitely recommend and stay again if in the area.

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.
