This is the second time we have stayed in Hallgarth Barn. The accommodation is perfect for our family of three generations. Our grandson particularly enjoyed the snug where he had a quiet hideaway. We love the location which is very quiet and no traffic noise, but close enough to visit Keswick easily and also close to some lovely walks. The slate fRead moreloors downstairs are perfect if you have a dog - very easy to keep clean. The large electrical kitchen equipment is all of a high quality. Hide

Lovely location for this cottage - with expansive views over to Skiddaw.. Good walks directly from the barn- very nice stroll through the woods to Braithwaite, or up into the Whinlatter Forest. The barn conversion has been done very well - the lounge, dining area and kitchen all have a very nice "feel" to them. With the tree upstairs bedrooms you nRead moreeeded to be aware of low headroom in places.. The Kitchen was very well equiped, but no "starter pack" was provided. Hope to return one day! Hide

Another wonderful stay at a beautiful property. Thank you. Incredible views and location, great walks from the door and the pubs of Braithwaite too. So peaceful, saw a hare at the front and a red squirrel in the back garden. Hope to return one day.

Stayed at Hall Garth Barn this week, location was perfect, very quiet, views from every window was stunning, pub was a pleasant stroll away, access to the surrounding area easy, the barn was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and bed linen clean and fresh, and the barn was quite child friendly.

Great location of barn - wonderful views. The cottage is all on one level so great for multi generational guests. Well equipped kitchen and lovely garden. Please note that when we visited there is only WIFI access in one half of the property and 8 guests have share one ensuite shower - this may not bother you :)

We chose this barn for a family getaway of 4 generations plus dog. It is in a peaceful location with stunning views and great local walks and amenities. We loved watching the lambs in the field opposite and the birds in the garden. The shower in the bathroom is not really a proper option so ended up queing for the main one. The locks need attentionRead more. Otherwise we found everything we needed, the barn is spacious and comfortable and an ideal base for a family holiday. Would stay again. Hide

Fabulous location, but a little pricey for a half-term holiday. Lots of character, but access to end bedroom is for short people only! Shame the back door was kept locked. Really enjoyed the log fire.
