The Woodside Barn is in a lovely location. We would definitely recommend to anyone!

Rated by Mr Brooksbank reviewed on 25th June 2016

Woodside Barn very clean and well maintained house throughout - better than some properties we've paid double the price for. The downstairs extra bathroom was a fantastic feature for a property of this size. The owner was a very friendly but discrete. The weather was beautiful so the garden made the holiday-sunny from dawn to dusk & well maintained.

Beautiful, peaceful setting. Very high standard of furnishings, décor and very comfortable. Friendly owners.

Rated by Ms Leamy reviewed on 4th August 2015

Finding places to stay with a two year old and ten month old is always a challenge. It was lovely to stay somewhere equipped with cot, high chair, stair gates and even plastic cutlery! The cottage was beautiful and the garden ideal for playing out. Well situated for days out including the south lakes animal park and aquarium. The owners were really helpful when we needed them and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Woodside Barn.

Rated by Michelle R reviewed on 10th July 2015

The cottage was well equipped and situated in a peaceful location with many attractions easily accessible. The owners were very welcoming but at the same time not intrusive.

Can't fault this cottage. Excellent, cosy and great value for money.everything about the cottage was appreciated and nice welcome touch of fresh eggs qine and milk from the friendly owner who maintained privacy considering living on the same hamlet. Would recommend especially a xmas stay as so cosy and warm. Ulverston close for shops etc. But not too close....

Rated by che v reviewed on 9th November 2014

Excellent, comfortable cottage with all of the facilities you could need and more. Very quiet location surrounded by countryside and around 3 miles from Ulverston.

Rated by Phil C reviewed on 6th October 2014

The overall standard of the cottage and its quite peaceful location were above our expectations. The welcome of pack of milk, eggs and biscuits left by the owners was a nice touch.

Rated by Mr Harvey reviewed on 4th October 2014

Quiet and relaxing Lovely cottage and garden - like being in Springwatch with so many baby birds and feeding parents. The Welcome pack was very welcome after a long drive. Couldn't fault the accommodation or the friendliness of the owners. Will definitely book up again.

What can we say one of the best places we have ever stayed.Idyllic,peace and quiet wonderful host cottage clean and garden lovely.

Rated by A FlipKey verified reviewer reviewed on 10th August 2014

The owners were very helpful and welcoming, we felt very at home from the beginning. Cottage very well furnished and decorated and the gardens were lovely with plenty of seating. No hesitation in recommending this property to anybody who likes a more secluded area to stay but still have access to lots of tourist must sees.

Rated by Mrs Cole reviewed on 17th May 2014

A well-stocked, clean and roomy cottage in a picturesque location. The kitchen was excellent and even came with free eggs and milk. Good range of DVDs and books in the living room catering for all ages and a Wii console also provided.

Rated by Mr Kennedy reviewed on 7th May 2014

Really nice barn conversion with awesome views and surroundings. Only downside is the remoteness. It really is slap bang in the middle of nowhere with only ulverston nearby for those sans voiture Steve was extremely friendly and gave us a free lift into town one night Excellent stay with great accommodation

Rated by Gshaneg reviewed on 5th May 2014

The peace and quiet was lovely; it was wonderful to just sit in the garden and do nothing with only the birds and sheep to listen too. We couldn't of stayed in a nicer place, it was a haven.

Rated by Mr Jansen reviewed on 26th April 2014

Excellent location. Cottage is quiet with beautiful views but close to busier areas like the beach and mountain areas. Owners also live on site but are unobtrusive so we could still relax and enjoy our holiday. Very comfortable cottage and a good size for a family of four. We really liked the children's books and the DVDs in the cottage.

Rated by Mrs Slezak reviewed on 13th April 2014

Had a lovely family break and felt very at home at Woodside Barn. Would recommend this cottage highly for a break away with family or friends.

Rated by Mrs Hindle reviewed on 13th January 2014

We had no contact from the owners on arrival, and had to phone them with a query, despite the fact, we discovered later, that they lived on site. The property was clean and spacious and just what we were expecting, though I feel the description of the bathroom as "luxury" is stretching the point a bit. It is a quiet location with plenty to do within a reasonable distance, the weather was poor so we didn't get the opportunity to explore the immediate area as much as we would normally. The building work going was a bit disconcerting as it would appear the holiday accommodation is being added to, if this is the case it will give it more the feel of a holiday complex. The biggest down side for me is the proximity of the wind turbines, and I cannot believe permission was given to site these monstrous white elephants in such an area. I live in a National Park and fear for its future if these things are allowed to spread.

Rated by Papat reviewed on 5th December 2013

Very modern cottage. Good equipped and comfortable. The owners are friendly and helpfull. Nice place to stay.

Rated by Jan Reidenbach reviewed on 28th October 2013
