Good Comms. Very nice place to stay. Very peaceful, beds comfy. Loads of cooking utensils. Lovely views. Next to a track to grizedale so walkers and cyclists go past, but as we were also using the track it was spot on . Nice and warm also..

We had a fabulous time very chilled and relaxed. The Barn is beautiful and the host is very kind and accommodating. Lots of lovely touches made it the perfect place for a wind down . Wonderful views and walks and close to the town was a big bonus .

There are also three Pubs in the village serving food as well as a selection of cafes and 2 restaurants. There are many beautiful walks from the door and direct cycle access to the numerous mountain biking trails in Grizedale Forest. Nearby Esthwaite Water also offers fishing and there are many interesting places to visit including Beatrix Potter’s home Hill Top & The Gallery. Ambleside, Coniston, Windermere & Bowness and the Langdale Valley are just a short drive away. Hawkshead is an idea location from which to explore the whole Lake District.
