Reviews of Rural getaway with a view - Old Spout Barn

Lovely conversion, lovely views the whole way around the barn. Great walks into sedburgh and beyond

We loved the location & the amazing views from every angle. The barn was spotless & had everything we needed for our stay. Only wish we could have stayed longer, great for visiting the Lakes.

The location is spectacular and the house is better than the photos even show. A lovely large kitchen area, very well equipped. So quiet and to sit and look at the view through the huge window was perfect, we even saw a hare hopping along the lane.

The single beds weren't the comfiest, and I did have to do some very creative window coverings as there are no curtains in the twin room.

Converted barn. Great view, large private parking space, nice outdoor table and chairs. Private and quiet. Clean. Great bathroom. We enjoyed our stay here and enjoyed walking in the hills nearby.

Downstairs bedroom has two tiny windows with no curtains, making sleep difficult in mid summer - they really need curtains. Pots and pans were old and need replacing. Converted barn is more functional than homely: nicely converted and clean but eg no pictures on the walls and could probably do with more rugs on flagstone floor downstairs. The long lane to the property, though little used, is not really walkable - very narrow with high hedges, and we encountered a couple of vehicles driving a little too fast down it. When we arrived we struggled to open the door because a mat was jamming it.

The location is remote and beautiful with amazing views over the Howgills. Close to Sedbergh with lovely shops and pubs. Great walks pretty much on the doorstep. The cottage had great kitchen facilities and a comfortable lounge with log burner that was all set up for our arrival. The window from the lounge was the main event-fabulous! The main bedroom was spacious and had lovely views over the fields with lambs for neighbours.

The remote setting, but not really that far from anything! The views, the silence, the sheep.

Idyllic location, superb views

One of the single beds had no bedside table or light.

The view was amazing. Idyllic location. Very clean and tidy on arrival

The double bed wasnt as comfortable as it could be but could have been worse

Spotlessly clean. Secluded but only 5 minutes back to town for supplies. Fabulous views. Directions were spot on, easy and fast check in, thoughtful treats left and plenty of hot water. Space to park a car and camper van outside. Master bedroom very large with a window looking out over the countryside to wake up to. We enjoyed the dark skies and stars sat outside at night. Would definitely stay again.

We found the mattress too hard….this is personal choice but a topper would have made a big difference for us.

We all had a lovely stay at Old Sprout Barn for the weekend. The barn was in a beautiful remote location and we got particularly lucky with the weather! Would definetely stay here again - it’s so cosy and the views are amazing. Sue was also so helpful and responsive when we had any questions. Can’t wait to come back!

Spotlessly clean and so cosy with everything you could need including thoughtful snacks! Great communication from Sue

Was clean, warm and the views are beautiful.

Nothing

The views

The kettle. One of the pans has a loose handle.

Old and new complemented the building. Especially the beautiful kitchen.

This is our 4th time staying here and we absolutely love this cottage. It’s in an ideal location and so idyllic and peaceful but still giving easy access to the Lakes and Dales. It snowed on our final evening and the lovely owner, Sue, said we could stay on beyond checkout time to give the roads chance to clear which we thought was very thoughtful and we were really grateful for. Thanks again for a fabulous stay.

There is nothing to not like about this cottage and its location.

We stopped in the Yorkshire Dales on our way up to Scotland and stayed at Old Spout Barn for a few days and had a great time. Sue was incredibly helpful, sending us detailed information about the property in advance, making check-in smooth and stress-free. Upon arrival, we found the barn clean and warm. The location is wonderfully secluded, with excellent views. The barn was well-equipped with everything we needed, making it an ideal family-friendly spot.

Beautiful location- so peaceful and lovely in the middle of the countryside.The barn has been beautifully converted - simple, but good quality furnishings and fitments, in keeping with the old stone barn. Love the old oak beams in the upstairs bedroom!

The location is brilliant, the scenery is stunning, it was so tranquil and relaxing. A lovely three say break, the weather is pretty goid too.

There wasn't anything to dislike

We always enjoy staying here and will return in the future.

The location is perfect for a quiet get away, yet easy reach of a town with plenty of shops and eating options.Fantastic setting with amazing views over rolling hills. Very clean and comfortable with all the facilities you need. A good size kitchen, bathroom, and plenty of hot running water. And with warm stone flooring, it was ideal for my 2 little dogs. Great for people holidaying with dogs. They love the window overlooking the sheep. I’ve already booked to go back.

I really can’t think of anything I didn’t like. I guess I’m 6’2” and anyone taller might need to duck.

Location was lovely. Peace and quiet as we had hoped. Sue was very accommodating & left a very welcome beer & a few other essentials.

Sadly wood burner just didn't work! It looked quite new so whoever installed it needs to check it out. Not essential in early October but possibly would be later in the winter. I am sure that Sue will investigate on reading this.

Very cosy and comfortable, great kitchen facilities, very good shower and all in a fantastic location with great views. Just wish we booked for longer!
