SPACIOUS, COMFORTABLE SURROUNDINGS MAKE FOR A TRULY MEMORABLE HOLIDAY
The front door entrance leads into a hallway here at The Barn with plenty of storage space for all your outdoor equipment. Bedroom 1 is a double, delightfully presented in a traditional, cottage style with an adjacent and equally pretty twin room, both sharing a bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, basin and WC.
Stairs to the first floor (or external access via patio doors) lead to the large open plan living space with seating arranged around the woodburning stove, the dining area position next to a window where you can look out over the village, the well-equipped kitchen offering everything you’ll need to properly self cater. Two further bedrooms sit on this floor, a further twin and a large double, the double having an en-suite shower room with cubicle, basin and WC. A second family bathroom has a bath with basin and WC and a useful utility houses a washer, dryer and further fridge/freezer.
Outside, there’s ample parking for up to 4 cars and garden furniture is provided within the enclosed, mature gardens.

We came to stay for my dad’s 60th and have a lovely time. The location is fabulous and we were greeted with a bottle of fix and some chutneys which was a lovely touch. The fireplace was a huge feature, we loved our stay and would come again!

Fabulous house and loved the little extras provided by the host. Perfect base to walk and walk! We got out of the car on Friday and didn’t get back in until we drove home. Perfection!

Delightful place to stay. Perfectly positioned for all that Coniston has to offer. The cottage was as described, with all that was needed for a long weekend stay. Great value for money. Clear instructions for both arrival and departure. Thank you for having us.

I recently stayed at this amazing Airbnb nestled in nature, surrounded by lush greenery and an abundance of trails perfect for hiking and exploring. The property is a beautifully modern barn-style place, providing a unique and relaxing atmosphere that made for an ideal break. The serene environment and thoughtful design elements truly made this stay a memorable and rejuvenating experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and connect with nature. It was perfect for our big family. Will definitely come back.

The Barn is an incredible place from which to explore the lakes. It was immaculately clean and had all the facilities you would expect and more - the views were simply unbelievable. We had a fantastic stay, and would absolutely stay again.

The house is lovely. Lots of space to socialise. Plenty of bathrooms, comfy sofas and great dining table. We had gorgeous weather but if we hadn’t the entrance hall was a brilliant space to accommodate all our wet walking gear. We would love to come again.

Lovely house and fantastic location- there were 7 of us and 3 were running in the Lakeland 50- perfect location for this event.

Great base for a family holiday - a short but steep walk from 4 village pubs, all of which serve food. Beautiful walks from the doorstep and a 10/15 minutes walk from the cottage to a jetty from which boats can be caught to other locations on the lake. We also swam one day at the north end of the lake which was lovely - though swimming shoes recommended due to the stones! The kitchen was well kitted out for cooking for larger groups.

A great place to stay when visiting Coniston. Would highly recommend any families or groups looking to stay here if you’re spending time in the Lake District. There’s plenty of space for each guest and a dog, plus the facilities are just what you need for a weekend away in the Lake District.

A beautiful house. We had everything we needed. Great setting, easy to walk into Coniston centre. Very private outdoor seating area. Huge driveway for the cars. Very clean and tidy.

The Barn is within walking distance of Coniston centre although a little steep on return. Adequate parking space for 2 large family cars. Living room window has good views over the village rooftops to distant hills. It is located in a peaceful area. The footpath up to "Coniston Old Man" passes nearby.

Seven of us (and a dog) had a lovely long weekend at The Barn, would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to explore this part of The Lakes. A great place to relax in during the evenings or times when the weather wasn’t so good.

The Barn is a very comfortable property and suited us perfectly being a family of seven over 3 generations. The location is ideal being very quiet but only a short but steep walk into the centre of Coniston which is well served with shops, cafes and pubs. There is plenty of parking for four cars but also a choice of walks from the door. We had a great week at the Barn.

Wonderful private property. Ideal for a large family. Great location, close to the town centre - shops, pubs, cafes and a short walk to Coniston Water. Very clean and welcoming. Would totally recommend the property and host if you're visiting in the area.

We had a great stay at The Barn, it was a perfect location and had everything we needed. The boot room was especially useful to keep all our boots and coats. A small issue was found at check-in but after a call this was addressed immediately. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

The barn was amazing for our family group! The location was outstanding, the place spacious and comfortable. We did have babies with us and worried about the stairs so I would caution other families with young children to bring a long gate but overall an amazing stay!

An absolutely amazing stay!
The location was perfect for everything we had planned and for exploring Coniston.
A group of 7 girls on the house and we never felt like we didn’t have space.
Would love to come back

We’ve stayed at The Barn 5 times now, and we just love it! It has a big flagstone hall for all your clobber, comfy living area, nice bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen, plus everything you need to have a great stay. It’s in a lovely quiet spot just above the Sun Inn so is a quick (albeit steep!) walk into the village centre but away from passing traffic and has great views. Coniston itself has a good selection of shops & cafes and some great walks from the door, as well as the fabulous Bluebird Cafe down by the lake. It’s much quieter than Grasmere or Ambleside which we like. The Barn is a fantastic base for Lakeland adventures!

Nice period house with lovely views, a good size for a group, great location for climbing the Old Man of Coniston, as well as close to local shops, petrol station and short walk to Coniston Lake.
However, it was quite cold, with no soundproofing so movement and conversations can easily be heard from around the house.
Laura

Great location and perfect for walking holidays. Plenty of room for families. The property was clean and had everything you could need supplied. The welcome hamper was a nice touch. Would stay here again.

We loved staying at this place. It was a great size, location, and had everything we needed. Lots of facilities. The house is spacious, and we loved our stay. Lots of space for parking. Lovely views of the surrounding area. You are close enough to the village to experience everything you need yet slightly on the outside so you feel away from the potential hustle and bustle. 5 to 10 mins walk to the chippy, cafes, pub and local shops. You are also on the doorstep of the Old man of Coniston. If you decide to go for that fab walk then forget about driving up the hill to the car park just walk it; its steep but worth it. It takes less than 1/2 hour to the start point of the main trails. The walk to the top of the Old man is great and gives you amazing views of the lakes. We really relaxed with our kids and our friends. Perfect in these difficult days. Thank you!

Lovely place to stay in a perfect location. Walking distance from Coniston Water and the town itself with beautiful views from the upstairs of the barn with it being situated on a hill. I would definitely recommend here and will be staying again.

The Barn was the perfect size for our two families, including four teenagers. It was very clean and had everything we needed, the welcome package was a lovely touch too. Added bonus was the large entrance area to store walking boots and coats, etc. Views from the windows were beautiful. It was the ideal location for accessing Coniston Lake, only a ten minute walk. Also local pubs and shops were easily accessible by walking although you do need to book as most of them stop serving food at about 7pm. Perfect base for exploring the area. Would definitely recommend and would love to return.

The Barn is in the best location in Coniston. Just at the start to the Old Man and above the Sun. The house is wonderful, spacey and clean. Can't fault it.
