Darren

If i could give 11 out of 10 I would. This place was absolutely amazing. Will miss opening up the curtains and seeing the fields full of sheep and the 2 out the back, just not the same opening up the curtains at home and seeing more houses and cars.. Real shame the holiday ended but definitely planning on heading back.

Wow! Damson Barn is beautiful it is located in a rural setting with stunning views from the bedroom windows. Everything you need is there for you. Everything is immaculate OH, the super kingsize bed is AMAZING!!! It is on a working farm, but this is not an issue at all. Katherine and her husband Michael are so welcoming and can not do enough for you. You can get handson by feeding the lambs and petting their pony 0h and of course their lovely border collie. We had a fabulous stay. It was a shame that the weather wasn't great, but the amazing hot tub is a lovely extra to relax in. Would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely visit again

Barbara

The Barn was spotless. Lovely Welcome from Katherine and Micheal.We have a lovely peaceful break.It was an ideal place to explore the area,being near the Lakes.Would be return a definite yesx

Andrew

We absolutely loved Damson Barn! We found the cottage to be very well kept and had everything we needed for a comfortable two week holiday. We've never had a hot tub on holiday before and we really enjoyed it. The hosts were amazing and made sure that we had everything we needed. We loved having a tour of the farm. I think you'd have to go a long way to match or better this accommodation. We would love to return here!

We enjoyed our holidays Danson barn and would recommend it to anyone . Hot tub was fantastic as was the weather . Lots of lovely places to explore. Damson barn was beautiful had everything you needed .

Beautiful barn in a great location for walking and other activities. We really enjoyed our stay, lovely accommodation with very comfortable sofas and super king size bed. The hosts, Katherine & Michael were very kind, friendly and helpful, providing useful tips on things to do and see. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in! Beautiful place in idyllic surroundings. Hot tub is a fantastic bonus at the end of the day. Would recommend to everyone!

Excellent cottage a real home from home, the hot tub was just what you needed after a few long walks. .. Perfect location with loads to do and see. The owners Katherine and Michael were so welcoming with the added bonus of meeting the first born triplet lambs of the year... Soooo cute. We will definitely be back ...

Damson Barn is Beautiful in an idyllic setting . A perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings Great walks from the door and lots of places to visit by car Katherine and Michael are great hosts and are on hand for any needs . We had the privilege of seeing a lamb being born on their farm . We would highly recommend a stay here and we will return in the future .

Doreen

Wonderful barn everything you could wish for in lovely countryside. All first class facilities beautifully appointed. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed seeing the sheep pony and dogs. Couldn't have been better.

Angela

Excellent property with caring hosts.

Samantha

We had the best time at Damson Barn. The spacious accommodation is comfortable and very clean. The friendly owners obviously take great pride in the property and really care about giving a fabulous experience. We hope to return to this cottage in the future and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Steven

Beautiful property, brilliant large bedrooms and gorgeous large landing. ..fully equipped kitchen and cosy lounge. A real home for home feel. We were given a warm welcome by the owners who couldn't have been more helpful with local advice on hand to make our stay comfortable. Just a shame we had a flying visit due to wedding and lived a 5hr drive away..would recommend this beautifully located property and easily return back if ever up in the north!!

Beautifully presented and clean. In a beautiful remote spot. We couldnt have picked a better time of the year with lambing happening during our visit. Our 3 year old loved it. The garden was fully secured so we could let our son out to play with no worries of him escaping. When the sun came out we could open up the French doors and let the air in. The fact the French doors were in the lounge and the kitchen was a bonus. We enjoyed the 35 minute walk down in to Kirkby Lonsdale. The walk up the hill back wasnt as enjoyable but absolutely worth it. We would highly recommend Damson Barn and will hopefully visit again one day.

Douglas

Superb property the owners so helpful and the views spectacular this is 5 stars at its very best

Excellent cottage, great location and owners very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

Francis

We had the most amazing family mini break at Damson Barn and couldnt have been happier. Keep up the great welcoming work and well see you soon for sure. Everything was perfect from the lovely friendly hosts to the most relaxing peaceful setting all topped off by an immaculate and cosy barn. Were already looking for our next dates to return.

Kealey

We had a wonderful holiday at Damson Barn. It was everything we could have wished. It was very clean and comfortable and had all the necessities to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. The owners of the farm were very friendly and accommodating. They were only a stone throw away if we needed them. The location of the Barn was fantastic. The lakes were only a short drive away and we were nestled at the gateway to the Yorkshire Dale's too. This has to be the best accommodation that we have stayed at with Sykes. It was the perfect break for us and we will definitely be returning.

Lawson

Lovely property, fantastic location. Katherine and Michael were the perfect hosts.

Wonderful Week, blessed with the Weather

The cottage was perfect. Thoughtfully converted barn with layout and size. Well stocked with everything you need and some lovely touchesRoses in the window! As clean as a house could be! Great family we loved meeting.

James Hew

Perfect property and location. Absolutely beautiful. Hosts were really lovely. Would highly recommend.

We've just returned from a wonderful week at Damson Barn with our two boys 11 and 13yo. The cottage itself was beautiful, well kept, cosy and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The hot tub was a huge bonus at the end of a day exploring. It couldn't be located any better, between the Dales and Lake District we were spoilt for choice for where to visit. Mike and Katherine were excellent hosts friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable about the local area. They even gave us a tour of their working farm, which was great fun. Everyone in our family agreed it was one of our best holidays and can't wait to return again one day. Thank you!

Such a lovely property, extremely clean and comfortable. A very gratefully received welcome pack on arrival. Our hosts were brilliant, made to feel we were friends rather than clients. Can 100 recommend if you are looking for a quiet getaway. Nearest pub is about 20 min walk, not bad in summer with long evenings, not sure we'd do it in the short days! Plenty to do in the area so great location. We hope to come back before too long.

Just returned after an amazing week at damson barn. Cottage is perfect in every sense. Katherine and Michael are amazing hosts and the most friendly welcoming couple you could wish for. They involved our little one in them shearing the sheep and made her holiday very special indeed! We will be retuning again most definitely

Jarrod

A real home from home experience, with everything you would need. A very clean property & the owners are very welcoming. The hot tub is a bonus, especially after a long day out. We would definitely recommend Damson Barn.

Caroline

It has been an absolute pleasure to stay at Damson Barn. We have had the best holiday Katherine and Michael are excellent hosts and they really go the extra mile to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The Barn is a great place to stay for both the Lakes and the Dales and the scenery is stunning. Cant praise this property, hosts and location highly enough

We had a fantastic stay at Damson barn. It was our first trip away with our new baby who is 5 months old and it was the perfect place to go. Michael and Katherine are very welcoming and friendly and kindly showed us around the farm and the various animals they keep. The cottage is well equipped and was very clean when we arrived. Kirkby Lonsdale is a short drive away or a nice 45 mins walk. There are plenty of places to eat and drink there, and artisan shops. We also went to Ambleside one day which is about a 35 mins drive. There is a decent pub called the Highwayman about 10 mins drive away that does really good food. We also got a pizza takeaway from the Royal Hotel which was good. Would thoroughly recommend staying and I am sure we will be back..

A lovely conversion, very comfortable and very friendly and helpful owners.

Lovely property tasteful conversion Owners introduced themselves but didnt interfere Would definitely rebook

Jackie

Spotless and comfortable, well equipped and maintained holiday cottage with some thoughtful touches and of course, the hot tub . Katherine and Michael were friendly and helpful. We would definitely book Damson Barn again if we return to the area in the future.

Joanne

Damson barn exceeded all our expectations. The cottage was spotlessly clean, modern, comfortable and well equipped. The hosts were perfect. Friendly, welcoming and charming. They were on hand to help with anything we needed, yet gave us privacy and space to enjoy your holiday and fully relax. A beautiful, scenic area, with so much to do for familes. We loved our holiday here

Very comfortable and spacious. Beautiful rural position, yet within easy but narrow access to main road. A Delightful cottage highly recommend for getting away from it all.

Michael

We had a fantastic time and Damson Barn was beautiful which was further supported by our great hosts Michael and Katherine. Probably one of the best houses and locations weve stayed in with great access to local walks.

Andrew

What a beautiful place to stay. The cottage is perfect we have stayed in lots of holiday cottages over the years but this is by far the best. Michael and Katherine excellent hosts and we hope to be able to return

Just returned from a Perfect week at Damson Barn. From the most welcoming family to the comfort and views of this outstanding home. It is certainly a place that we will return too, and highly recommend, it has everything you need,its been great for getting around to lots of different attractions and returning here to relax and enjoy has been the icing on the cake

Kenneth

Stayed twice before. Property is excellent being clean and well equipped. It is sited in a beautiful and peaceful area. I could not praise the hosts enough. They were extremely friendly and helpful and did all they could to make our stay enjoyable.

A wonderful stay in the beautiful Damson Barn. Very comfortable and well equipped, and in a fantastic location. Thank you.

We have just returned from Damson Barn and we miss it already. It really is a beautiful barn that lived beyond our expectation! The hot tub was a hit for our children! We felt settled within minutes. It is a cozy, clean, modern barn yet its original character still strikes through. Micheal and Katherine were so welcoming and really helpful. Their pictures of routes to the local areas were spot on and our kids loved looking for the next clue in the route!! We really did find a true gem and we cant wait to return!!!
