Knipe Fold Barn is a beautiful and luxurious home from home. The location is quiet but close enough to the amenities at Hawkshead. The views from the bedrooms and lounge/diner are amazing! The bedrooms were clean and very comfortable and the fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed. There is off-road parking for 3 cars and plenty of space inside and outside for a dog to explore. Overall Knipe Fold Barn is a wonderful place to stay.

A beautifully finished cottage, with plenty of space in the open plan top floor. Lots of character in the building and the furnishings & fittings. Well located to visit lots of places in the Lakes, and in a very quiet location. Only downside is that the garden is across the road for the dogs to use. Would definitely consider returning.
