During the evening you can sit back and relax in the beautiful well-maintained garden and light the barbecue.

Had a wonderful welcome from Lynn and Andrew who took the time to show us round the barn; we really appreciated the welcome pack. The barn was cosy and clean and very well equipped. The garden was enclosed and so perfect for our 2 dogs, there was even a dog bowl and dog towels to use. The only thing extra we would have benefited from would be extra drawer space in the upstairs bedroom but apart from that everything was perfect. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This was a perfect place to s as it is approx 25mins from either Coniston or Windermere lake.
This was a perfect place to s as it is approx 25mins from either Coniston or Windermere lake. Also similar distance to Grizedale forest. So plenty of different places to explorer. We did have brilliant weather so we're able to make the most of everything, long treks, lazy days by the lake, active go ape at grizedale! Cottage was very comfortable with all the mod cons, owners live next door and always available to give advice on best ways and places to go. Lovely garden so sit and relax in the evening. Highly recommended Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We spent 4 nights at Bandrake Barn and had a wonderful time. The Barn was immaculate and so well equipped. The location was perfect for us, not too far from local amenities but far enough to get the peace and quiet we were looking for. The local pub is excellent and only a short walk. The hosts were great, very helpful and full of knowledge of The Lakes. We will definitely be returning to Bandrake Barn in the near future! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This was a most welcome relaxing few days away and very enjoyable.
This was a most welcome relaxing few days away and very enjoyable. There was nothing to complain about at all, the barn had all the facilities we needed and more. We needed a place that had a closed in garden to ensure our dog could go out and also space to let him move about and be safe. Also we both needed somewhere that we could relax and have a chilled out week end and we fully got this. The decor within is to a high standard and well laid out, whilst it had 2 x double bedrooms we used the downstairs bedroom but could easily have used the upstairs as both were so comfortable & enviting. In the evening we stayed in as it was so relaxing and we ended up have a lie in each morning which has not happened for a very long time !! The owners have done an excellent job in converting the barn and we would have no hesitation in staying again. Getting about was very easy and the location is right in between Coniston & Windermere lakes, but set in a secluded hamlet. Parking is just right outside the front door. The arrival instructions provided by the owners & information provided in the barn are excellent. If you are a couple or 2 x couples then this is the place for you.

Beautiful dog secure garden, 2 couples with 2 dogs. Best rented accommodation any of us have ever stayed in. Brilliant attention to detail and every conceivable piece of equipment provided. Too rural for some but just what we wanted.

What a wonderful cottage, which has everything you will need for your stay.
What a wonderful cottage, which has everything you will need for your stay. There a numerous walks on your doorstep with one being a 5 minute walk to a local pub, which also serves food (mine and our dog's favorite). Its ideally located for the south lakes but you can access all areas with easie. The garden is tranquil and well maintained, a credit to both Lyn and Andrew. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to stay in such a wonderful place, our only fortay was the weather but hay it's the Lake District and there's no such thing as bad weather just the wrong cloths Please trust the directions provided by Lyn and Andrews when you book, as tomtom / Google Maps seem to have other ideas about where this cottage is located.

The barn was extremely comfortable, well appointed and stylishly decorated! We enjoyed it very much. The garden is gorgeous and was a wonderful addition. Lyn and Andrew were extremely good hosts who were very keen to ensure everything was as good as possible. The location is very rural and but beautiful and the local pub is only a ten minute walk. The service, food and location are all to be recommended. We definitely want to return to Bandrake Barn and my only hesitation in giving it the review it deserves is that it will be discovered by too many other people!!!!
