Guests say

Bill's Barn in Ulverston is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and stunning rural views. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property, its proximity to local attractions, and the peaceful environment. The quality of the beds and bedding is frequently mentioned, as is the property's warmth and modern amenities. Some guests suggest minor improvements, but overall, the property provides a delightful stay in the Lake District.

Reviewers consistently mention the spotless condition of the property, with several highlighting the 'clinically clean' environment and top-quality bed linen. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the guests' positive experiences.

The property's location is celebrated for its beautiful rural views and proximity to the Lake District's attractions. While the access roads are noted as narrow, the tranquil setting and nearby pub add to the charm, making the location highly regarded.

Guests find the property very comfortable, with special mentions of the quality beds and bedding. The warm cottage and the provision of modern amenities like Wi-Fi and smart TV add to the comfort level, although a mention of lukewarm water during a heatwave slightly affects the score.

The property is well-equipped with a fully functioning kitchen, ample parking, and an electric charging port. Suggestions for additional facilities like a larger cooking pan and BBQ area are noted, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs.

The provision of a welcome pack, a thorough home guide, and the option of a cot and high-chair demonstrate thoughtfulness. While gifts like a rucksack and maps are suggested, it is politely noted that such items are not guaranteed and depend on the hosts' discretion.

    We came on our final night in the cottage and the food was so good. We've recommended both the pub and the cottages to several people since we've come home. We'd definitely consider staying here again next time we're visiting the area
