Hollowgill Barn Reviews

We had the pleasure of staying Hollowgill Barn. The pictures do not do it justice, it is an absolutely incredible barn on such beautiful land. It is not mentioned how enclosed the garden is but it is properly secure. It sits on around 1 acre of gorgeous hillside land and it has secure new fences and chicken wire all around. This was perfect for our dog as he had the whole place to explore. We loved watching the sheep every day and having dips in the hot tub with the gorgeous views. The barn has been converted to such a high standard and the addition of the games room and lovely front room meant we were always happy there no matter the weather. Thank you.

Sandra

We enjoyed our stay over Christmas but would have liked to be able to turn the heating temperature up or down ourselves. We would have stayed in the hot tub longer if it was warmer but it cooled down very quickly. We had to clean the drawers and hoover the main bedroom as it was dirtyhairy. We had to wash the bedding in the main bedroom as it smelt stalesmokey. The main bedroom quilt has a stain of some kind on it. The wardrobe downstairs in the hallway had a drawer which was full of slippersflip flopsclothing so was not able to use it. When we cleaned the main room floor we found under the table was very dirty and under the settee when we angled it for watching tv. The hoover did not keep its charge to be able to hoover one room, we had to charge it continuously which is not good enough when taking pets or in general. We still enjoyed our stay and it is in a lovely setting but just wanted to offer constructive advice.

Leanne

The place is amazing, we go three times a year to cottages and this one beats them all by far on every aspect. We will be returning and would love to know when games room is completed so we can stay at that time. There is nothing bad about our stay only a few suggestions.. 1. The wine cooler fridge was not switched on and we could not see how to do that. 2. We also could not find how to switch the big outside light on at hot tub. 3. The hit tub temp was always 38 when we got in, would be nice a little hitter to be set at 40. 4. Bedding had to be removed and placed in blue IKEA bags, but we could not find these anywhere. These are minor suggestions, and would not stop us returning and we recommend the cottage 100 to our friends. Beautiful place, area and facilities. Thank you.

Beautiful barn with excellent quality facilities our second visit will be back

Beautiful barn in a very secluded location excellent.

Jacqueline

The barn is very well equipped with everything you could need. The owners were extremely helpful with tips about the entrance. Informing us when there was a unexpected power cut and keeping us updated on when power was likely to be returned. The barn is extremely clean and comfortable with good laundry facilities. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Sandra

Had a great week. The barn was very spacious and comfortable with everything you would need provided. Loved the hot tub pity the weather didnt cooperate. Lots of great walks.

Rosalind

A great location and a lovely spacious property to stay in.

Very well and highly specked property,enjoyable stay

Sallie

We had a lovely week away staying at Hollowgill Barn, well equipped and very comfortable, everything we needed, and the Hot tub was a bonus, in it every night. The area where the barn sits is beautiful and the river just down the track was a win for our dogs, also the enclosed garden, no escapes. Would recommend this accomodation to anyone. Fantastic.

Annette

It is very difficult to share feedback, only because we don't want to share such a wonderful property & location with too many others! . The Barn has been lovingly restored to the highest possible standard. From the kitchen utensils to all furnishings. The huge garden area backing on to some wonderful walking routes allowed our young spaniel to roam in safety. Not usually a fan of such things, the hot tub also tempted us when set in such perfect surroundings. In 30 years of cottage hire we've only previously been back somewhere once. The location is idyllic. This one made a 6 hour drive well worth it, we will be returning. Got to be 6 stars too.

Debbie

We had had a great time it was a very relaxing 4 days we had Everything we needed and more the property was amazing. Are dog Ruby had the time of her life in the safe space that was provided for her so thank you for sharing your lovely home we have made happy memories.

Lovely scenic, peaceful setting with easy access to local walks. The barn is spacious and well equipped, we really enjoyed our week and hope to return. Thanks

Andrew

Lovely barn conversion in a stunning location. So many walks from the doorstep and if youre happy to do a bit of driving then the Lake District and all the Yorkshire Dales are available to explore. We had some stunning days out including Mallam Cove, Helvellyn, Windermere and Rydal Water. Hollowgill Barn is beautifully appointed with high quality fixtures and fittings. The owners have thought of just about everything needed for a stay away. We even found full laundry facilities available to us which Im not sure are publicised on the website. Would love to go back one day.

Beautiful property and we were so blessed with the weather. We went out exploring every day. It was lovely to return to the barn and chick.

We stayed 1720th March. I was contacted by the owner on our day of arrival to confirm all was ok with the accommodation. The house was fabulous, lovely and clean, welcoming and so comfortable. The heating being on in the bathrooms was nice so we always had warm towels. We were looking for a tranquil break away and we found just that. Looking to rebook later in the year to come back with the kids.

Jolanda

We spent a lovely long weekend at Hollowgill Barn in December 2022. Incredible doesn't begin to describe it. The open plan upper floor is perfect for spending time together, with no one having to seclude themselves from the rest of the group to cook. Speaking of cooking the kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Anything one could imagine needing is right there, and then some. The bedrooms are lovely, with great views out over the fields again, the beds are incredibly comfortable, the showers great. It is lovely waking up surrounded by the sheep in the fields, and you only have to step out of your door to start a great walk through the Cumbrian countryside. With Sedbergh only being a 10 minutes drive away for your shopping, you'll not want for anything. There's really we can fault about our stay at Hollowgill Barn, you definitely won't regret booking.

Rebecca

Fantastic property where everything has been considered to make it a real home from home. Kitchen is very well stocked we cooked most nights and had everything we needed. We had contact with owner over a query that they quickly resolved for us. Really lovely place to stay. Would highly recommend and hope to return soon

Beautiful property would recommend
