“We had an enjoyable stay at the Byre and it had everything we needed, apart from we couldn't find hand towels!”

We can definitely recommend it to others.

Irene September 2024

“We had a lovely stay at the Byre, lovely hosts with a lovely welcome gift in the fridge on arrival.”

It really felt like home from home,cosy and well presented . Its an ideal spot to visit many places in the Lake District . Will definitely go back the next time we want to visit the area again

- Irene, September 2024
Julie August 2024

“We loved our stay at The Byre.”

The location was nice and quiet and not too far away from the main Lakes by car. The cottage had everything we needed and more. It was warm, cosy and inviting. I had the best night sleep on the comfy bed and loved waking up to the views over the fell. The welcome goodies left in the fridge were a lovely touch too. The enclosed patio garden was a plus for us with 2 dogs. Lovely to be able to let them out the back door knowing they would be safe. Plenty of information guides etc left in the lounge to help us decide where to go, as well as information on local attractions. Such a relaxing break. We will return again!

- Julie, August 2024
Sandra July 2024

- Anthony, May 2024
Paul May 2024

“An absolutely beautiful cottage in a quiet location.”

Everything catered for and also information left by the owner regarding local amenities and activities. Ideal location for trips to Cartmel races,the Lakes and coast. Immaculately clean and tidy,seen as pets are aloud and would definitely recommend.

- Paul, May 2024
Sharon March 2024

“We have stayed at many holiday cottages over recent years and we feel that The Byre is the best, it is comfortable, clean and a lovely lay out inside.”

The area is beautiful and we particularly enjoyed the local village of Cartmel. The owners of the cottage were friendly and helpful. A lovely relaxing, dog walking holiday.

- Sharon, March 2024
Christopher October 2023

“Beautiful property set in the most stunning countryside,couldn't find fault with this property.”

It was very clean and we loved every minute of our time there ,would highly recommend this property to family and friends.

- Christopher, October 2023
Thomas October 2023

“Really clean, lovely settings, great for dogs, we have a really small dog and I felt relaxed when she went outside knowing she couldn't get out.”

Owners didn't interfere,have been to some cottages and they pop around all the time, I find that uncomfortable, however these just left us to it. Would go again. Thumbs up to them!!

- Thomas, October 2023
Karen September 2023

“We had a fantastic week in this beautiful cottage.”

It was spotlessly clean and very cosy. Lovely shower and comfortable beds. Perfect location for exploring the lakes and lots of useful information about where to go. Cartmel is a lovely village nearby with some nice friendly pubs. The Kings Arms do a wonderful Sunday roast. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

- Karen, September 2023
Jane June 2023

“We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home there was plenty of information ...”

We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home there was plenty of information about what to do around the lakes and the house was perfect

- Jane, June 2023
Andy May 2023

“It is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location.”

The back yard is lovely in the sunshine and a great place to sit and eat out. Very safe for our dogs too. Lots of lovely walks down the lanes around the cottage with our dogs and Grange is a lovely town to visit and if you get the tide right you can walk out on the estuary from the prom with your dogs. Can be a bit busy if the races are on, but this is only 4 times a year so easy to avoid. This part of the lake district seems to be an undiscovered gem as really not a wash with people even on a bank holiday.

- Andy, May 2023
Sandra May 2023

“No contact with owner .”

We did not enjoy our holiday. We were told there would be building work and would be noisy . We hoped we would cope.the owner didn't advise on other alternative. So we put up with it. I'm sure the reviews we went off are good. But unfortunatly not for us. And sykes were not helpful. Will not use sykes again.

- Sandra, May 2023

"The cottage is lovely, clean and well equipped" - Mrs M via email 12.05.23. No contact with the owner - 8 days prior to visiting I phoned to let the guests know we were having solar panels installed, informed her of the roofers hours (8.30 am to 4 -4.30 pm) and advised her to contact Sykes if she had any concerns, re changing dates/cottage. Phone call 48 hours prior to visit for key collection no mention of any concerns. Phone call on day of arrival asking if they could enter the cottage before 5pm. Yes, not a problem, workmen had left and cottage was ready for them. Guests spoke to my husband on 2 occasions during their stay, no mention on being unhappy, only mentioned that the weather in Keswick was awful. Noise - Guests arrived after workmen had finished on Friday, as it was Coronation weekend there was no work undertaken on the property until 8.45 am Tuesday morning. Guests arrived back to the cottage on the remaining 3 days in the late afternoon. As owners, we do our upmost to make every stay enjoyable, but if no one mentions anything during the visit how do we know to offer any solution? On this occasion we found out about Mrs M's issues at 5 pm after departure via an e-mail asking for compensation. Property Owner

- David, October 2022
Mark September 2022

“Lovely spacious, warm cottage in a beautiful, quiet rural location but with easy accessibility to all the Lakes has to offer.”

The coastal area of the Southern Lakes is also very close by. Well appointed and equipped with everything we needed including an enclosed garden area which was great for the dogs. Would happily stay here again and recommend to others.

- Mark, September 2022
Donald July 2022

“The Byre was absolutely lovely, an excellent conversion providing very comfortable accommodation, very clean, very well equipped with the added benefit of an enclosed secure garden.”

And not forgetting the double bed was very comfortable. The welcome treats were very well received, a big thank you.

- Donald, July 2022
Diane June 2022

“The single beds were a bit hard and there was the racing on and we couldn’t get into the town when we got there it was blocked off and we had no pass.”

It would be good if they could let people know when they book with them that the racing was on. All the roads were blocked not good.

- Diane, June 2022

I'm sorry that you felt your visit was spoilt by Cartmel Races taking place the same weekend as your booking. We would not mention this as a rule, as the cottage is situated 2 miles from the village and so is wholly not affected by the races at all. The village is open as usual for visitors on non-racing days. I will certainly look into purchasing new mattresses for the single beds. We did have to leave all doors and windows open after your departure as the cottage smelt of cigarette smoke, which isn't pleasant for guests coming in the same afternoon. The cottage is listed as 'non smoking' Property Owner
Peter April 2022

“Had a lovely stay at the Byre.”

Will certainly stay there again. +++++

- Peter, April 2022
Nicola April 2022

“We loved our stay here.”

Everything was clean and welcoming. The enclosed garden was great for the dogs. We have already booked to come back!

- Nicola, April 2022
Justin April 2022

“Really comfortable and enjoyable stay - we really enjoyed the property and would certainly return.”

Very clean and tidy, lovely welcome gifts, milk and juice in the fridge, great back garden for our dogs and located very close to Cartmel. The bed was comfy and the bathroom/shower was great. There was also some information on the local area and should we have needed them, the hosts were next door. We spent almost everyday out and about until later in the afternoon and did not use the lounge area but should we have done, it was also very comfortable and cosy.

- Justin, April 2022
Samantha April 2022

“The Byre is a beautifully converted barn, with high ceilings so it was very light and spacious.”

Everything was provided for a home from home stay, with some lovely welcoming touches from Sarah, including an Easter egg for my son. The beds were extremely comfortable. The back yard was secure and private, great for kids or dogs, both of which are welcome! The only thing missing in my opinion is a washing machine, the rest was absolutely perfect, we would definitely return

- Samantha, April 2022
Saul March 2022

“Really comfortable cottage.”

Much bigger than expected! Safe outside space for our dogs too. Would definitely book again!

Anonymous October 2021

“Lovely accommodation in an ideal place for easy access to lots of tourist attractions.”

Fantastic heating and living spaces but could do with better mattresses as didn’t sleep well due to hard mattresses. Also not enough hot water, even with the booster switch, for everyone to have a shower in the morning.

- Anonymous, October 2021
Sarah October 2021

“Cottage itself was lovely but whilst the cottage is listed as dog friendly you’re asked not to take your dogs into the living area meaning if you want to watch tv your dog needs to to stay down stairs in the kitchen.”

Facilities were pretty good but no washing machine. Cleanliness and location of the cottage were great and the couple that own the cottage were both super friendly.

- Sarah, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. I would like to assure our future guests dogs are of course allowed in the sitting room. The stairgate is to help guests keep their dogs on hard floors whilst they dry off after enjoying their walks and days out, in what can be a wet and muddy Lake District. I will ensure this is made clear in the information for future guests. Property Owner
David September 2021

“A very lovely well equipped cottage.”

The location is ideal for visiting surrounding areas which are all a short drive away.

- David, September 2021
Helen August 2021

“Such a beautiful cottage in a quiet setting close enough by car to the many wonderful sights of the lake district.”

As a family of 4 with a 10 and 3 year old there was plenty of room for us all and a good selection of games and dvds on top of what we brought ourselves. We would definitely like to visit again.

- Helen, August 2021
Roger July 2021

“This was our second visit to the Byre.”

The cottage is really comfortable and in a lovely part of the lakes, we had our teenage daughter and her friend with us and we all had a wonderful time. Motor boat on Coniston, Go ape tree top challenge at Grizedale, cycling in Grizedale, shopping in Kendal, Holker Hall and some lovely meals out. We will definitely be back. The owners were very helpful when we needed some help with our broken bike lock. A great holiday, thank you.

- Roger, July 2021
Angela June 2021

“Lovely cottage, very peaceful setting.”

All good.

Eve April 2021

“This was our first visit to South Lakeland and it was quiet and uncrowded.”

The cottage was the best property that we have rented and we were very happy there .Many thanks to the owner who posted back my slippers which I left under the coffee table. Many National Trust places were within half an hour`s car trip and we enjoyed several lakeside walks.

- Eve, April 2021
Jane July 2020

“The Byre is a real treasure hidden in the midst of countryside yet close to major roads making it easy to visit many beautiful sites near by.”

Cartmel is a couple of miles away with lots of great places to eat and explore. The property is lovely, and Sarah and Paul were really helpful and thoughtful. This was exactly what we needed and we hope to return again. Thanks for a fabulous fortnight!

- Jane, July 2020
Valerie July 2020

“Comfortable and clean cottage.”

Good base for exploring the southern lakes with some lovely local walks too. Ideal for visiting Cartmel and Grange over Sands We had some rainy days while we were there but the cottage was still lovely to spend time in. The courtyard was ideal for spending peaceful time in - thoroughly recommend The Byre for a relaxing holiday

- Valerie, July 2020
Susan March 2020

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful and set in the most idyllic and charming part of the lake district and would highly recommend a visit to the village of Cartmel.”

“Beautiful and clean quiet just what we needed disappointed it did not have WiFi ...”

- Lorraine, September 2019
Sandra August 2019

“Lovely quirky cottage where silence is golden.”

Lots of room with everything we need for quiet break

- Sandra, August 2019
Penny August 2019

“My daughter and I enjoyed our short stay at The Byre, the instructions on how to find the cottage were clear and easy to follow.”

The only thing missing that would have made our stay more comfortable would be instructions on how to use the heating and gas fire. We arrived at The Byre after a very wet day out feeling damp and cold, after some time I did manage to get the radiator working in the living room. I never did work out the gas fire! Also information on local amenities/shops etc would have been helpful.

- Penny, August 2019
Dawn May 2019

“I think you should make it clear that the nearest shop is in Cartmel which is 2 miles away, and the nearest pub is 1.”

5 miles away (up a steep hill if people are walking). The cottage itself and the area is beautiful and I couldn't have had a lovelier time I just think making the above clear will help people understand clearly the remoteness of it.

- Dawn, May 2019
Martin May 2019

“Nothing everything was fine”

- Martin, May 2019
Paul April 2019

“Perfect base to explore south lakes, 5 minutes away from the lovely village of Cartmel and 2 minutes access to the motor way.”

Situated in the most peaceful, beautiful spot, couldn't ask for from owners. We're already looking to book again.

- Paul, April 2019
Stuart March 2019

“Fantastic location - just a five minute drive from Cartmel and some lovely short walks from the cottage itself.”

The cottage was very spacious and comfy and had all the facilities we needed. Decent sized enclosed yard to the rear of the cottage, suitable to let your dog have some freedom. Well recommended.

- Stuart, March 2019
Louise March 2019

“First time I've rented a cottage and was amazed how straight forward everything ...”

First time I've rented a cottage and was amazed how straight forward everything was the byre was just perfect close to lots of places but so peaceful the photos don't do justice to how lovely the byre is

- Louise, March 2019
Sharon March 2019

“We went to the byre for our wedding anniversary and so glad we chose this cottage what a beautiful place so homely and cosy and in the perfect location for exploring around the area and more the owners are so lovely and the bottle of bubbly made it extra special for our anniversary and the doggy buscuits for our pooch milky .”

- Sharon, March 2019
Emily February 2019

“The cottage was lovely and clean, much bigger than expected and a lovely unique lay out!”

It’s located in a great area for exploring, we only wish we had stayed longer than two nights. The shortbread and Prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch, bed comfy and shower amazing. Unfortunately didn’t meet hosts but overall 5* and would stay again!

- Emily, February 2019
Nigel February 2019

“The fact that everyone is accommodating to dogs.”

It was a very rural location with excellent pubs for food in Cartmel who were again good with dogs too. Excellent area for walking. Warm and cosy accommodation.

- Nigel, February 2019
Sandra November 2018

“It was a nice break and i am planning to book again in the summer of 2019 the hosts were lovely people and the cottage met our our needs lots to do and see and a fantastic base for visiting the lake district i would highly recommend this cottage as a treasure in the lakes.”

- Sandra, November 2018
Sarah November 2018

“Its a lovely cottage its the 2nd time we have booked and have booked a 3rd time ...”

Its a lovely cottage its the 2nd time we have booked and have booked a 3rd time the location is perfect for exploring nearby bowness

- Sarah, November 2018
Matt August 2018

“This cottage is set In a really nice quiet country lane just 4 miles from the lake.”

Its very spacious and has everything a family needs. We had a lovely time. If I had any criticism it would be that the bed mattress is very firm. Some prefer this but was a little too firm for us. Apart from that it was a very pleasant experience, its really clean and you couldn't really want for a better place to stay.

- Matt, August 2018
Samantha July 2018

“Lovely cottage, very spacious and had everything we needed (board games, dvds, books, local maps and local restaurant information etc, tea and coffee and cleaning equipment, even dog treats!”

). Patio garden is enclosed which is perfect for our sometimes anxious dog, and no escaping/ jumping over small walls as they are high enough. Location is out the way and quiet, but only a short drive away from local shops, pubs and walks! Would recommend, had a lovely chilled out holiday!

- Samantha, July 2018
Andrew July 2018

“Perfect location for exploring southern lake district!”

Very homely

- Sheila, April 2018
Paul March 2018

“The cottage was better than expected, it seemed bigger than it was in the advert, plenty of space for the 4 of us and the dog.”

Location was excellent just out the way, but close enough to get everywhere we wanted. Local facilities where good and in easy reach, excellent communication with the owners when needed. We had a lovely time and would definitely consider doing back. Thank you.

- Paul, March 2018
Elizabeth November 2017

“The cottage is a secluded getaway, very romantic and so quiet - heaven!”

We loved our stay. The walk to Cartmel is long and difficult in the dark so we ended up driving mostly for evening meals. That said, we felt so relaxed and loved our stay so much, nothing could spoil the wonderful memories made.

- Elizabeth, November 2017
Edward September 2017

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will definitely be going back

- Chris, September 2016
Steve July 2016

“In a very peaceful location within easy reach of the Lake Districts popular towns.”

We have a dog so the walled and enclosed garden was particularly good for us. It was ideal for 2 people and a dog. There were good leaflets in the property for where to visit and details of local pubs/restaurants for evening meals, that were not too far away. Definitely worth a look as a cottage accommodation.

- Steve, July 2016
Chris April 2016

“The cottage had everything we needed, we had a 9 month old and a huskie, and the layout of the cottage worked very well.”

Plenty to see in the area and the peace and quiet was lovely as well. Most of the places we visited were happy for dogs to go in. Will definitely be going back.

- Chris, April 2016

Beautiful views, love the Cartmell cheese and would have loved to have stayed longer.

- Wendy, October 2015
Philip May 2015

“The property was very roomy with pleasant and relaxing décor on all four different levels.”

The kitchen was very well equipped including a simple but very efficient electric cooker. There were good views from the property and a pleasant paved and walled garden to the rear affording privacy and shelter when the weather required. The location was well suited for a holiday in the Lakes; especially the southern ones.

- Philip, May 2015

Sorrell December 2014

“We went to The Byre to celebrate Christmas and it was an absolute dream!”

Tucked away on the country roads near Cartmel, The Byre was a beautiful and well kept cottage. It was also a huge benefit that we were also able to bring our dog, who also loved the cottage! All in all a lovely Christmas was had and a huge thank you to the owners for such a wonderful stay!

- Sorrell, December 2014
Chris October 2014

“A great location in the heart of the country but close to everything, especially the lovely town of Cartmel.”

Beautiful cottage with high ceilings and exposed beams adjoining the main farmhouse.

- Chris, October 2014
Jacqueline October 2014

“On arrival, we were surprised how small The Byre looked from outside, but when we entered we were very pleased with the layout.”

Very roomy and very comfortable, the warmest cottage we have stayed in. Lovely to return to after a cold day out walking. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

- Jacqueline, October 2014
Philip October 2014

“A superb, well appointed cottage in a quiet hamlet but within easy reach of the Lakes.”

We would certainly go there again as in most cases by the time you have found your way around it is time to come home.

- Philip, October 2014
Sally June 2014
