Meadow Syke Barn, Bampton

All was perfect and we had a wonderful stay. Ruth was a warm and welcoming host and the accommodation was great as was the location. Cant recommend this highly enough to anyone wanting a relaxing experience in the Lakes

Beautiful place and loved the fact the dogs were so well catered for and thought of. The views were amazing a wonderful place to relax. We all loved it x Wish Skyes had told us about the extra charge for the hot tub but it didnt ruin our stay and we totally understand the owners reasons x we had a wonderful time thank you would come and stay again and didnt really want to leave.

We had a beautiful week at Meadow Syke Barn. Amazing views, but private so it was great. They have an enclosed field in which you can take your dog on at any point which our Labrador loved. A utility room with access to washing machines, and even a dog shower! Extremely comfortable beds, decorated lovely, garden was a sun trap for evening drinks playing scrabble. Thanks Ruth!

Couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodation and the host. The accommodation was in a quiet and ideal spot and it was spotless. Any queries that did crop up they always do Ruth the host was quick to respond and help resolve. This was on top of her day job as a sheep farmer so God knows when she has time to sleep?? Lovely time.

It was really a wonderfull location great accomodation, beautiful surroundings. And it was great having the jacuzzi with the accomodation. The only minor thing was the flies, they manured the pastures at the back with sheep manure, so we were bothered with a lot of flies, one day.

We had a wonderful stay at Meadow Syke Barn. The property was absolutely stunning, spotless throughout, and maintained to an exceptionally high standard. Everything you could possibly need was provided, making it feel like a true home away from home. Ruth was a lovely host, friendly, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, and she made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. The setting is simply idyllic, surrounded by the beautiful Lake District countryside with peaceful views and a relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the stunning surroundings. We would highly recommend Meadow Syke Barn and would love to return in the future. Thank you, Ruth, for such a fantastic stay!

A delightful property, ideally situated on the outskirts of the Lakes, 20 minutes from Penrith, 20 minutes from Ullswater and 50 minutes from Windermere. The property had everything you need for a relaxing stay and has views to die for. Ruth, the owner was extremely friendly and very helpful and the hot tub was an added bonus.

A fantastic stay at Meadow syke barn Ruth is a great host. The barn is situated in great location surrounded by countryside farmland from this location you can either choose to relax in this location or explore the lake district. Beds are very comfy give a good nights sleep. Wine, milk and biscuits on arrival and a great welcome for the dogs. New Hot tub and patio furniture are a great addition to this wonderful place. Recommend a visit to the local mardale inn for great food and drinks friendly staff and Local customers and visitors. Five star Holiday.

Absolutely stunning place so peaceful and beautiful it has to be the best place ... Absolutely stunning place so peaceful and beautiful it has to be the best place we have stayed in we have booked again for next year

Despite health issues we had a great time in this beautiful unspoilt park of The Lakes. My only gripe about the property was a soft mattress which exacerbated my sciatica and a small larder fridge freezer which wouldnt have held a weeks shop. The very local pubs and village stores were excellent and very friendly.

Very smart property in a lovely part of the world and we enjoyed the hot tub. The owner Ruth was very welcoming.

We had a lovely relaxing holiday with our dog Maisie. A beautiful barn clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was wonderful. Having to pay the extra 60 pounds for it is a bit harsh as it was quite expensive to book but we were willing to pay and loved our time in it. The heating and lights were sometimes a little dodgy. They would go off on come back on. We just put it down to a ghost. We were sometimes cold on the evening as the heating would come on late but always red hot on a morning. Ruth the owner did show us how to use the heating but it's maybe on a timer. The beds so comfortable the shower was fantastic. The outside area fieldswere brilliant for Maisie our dog. She loved to run free in the huge area. Stunning views so peaceful. A great relaxing holiday with plenty of places to visit. Thankyou Ruth

We had such a lovely stay. Ruth was very welcoming and helpful throughout. The accommodation was very cosy and such a great spot for dogs they loved the enclosed fields. We also loved using the hot tub and all the little extras Ruth left out. We did have an issue with a bad smell in the upstairs bathroom for the first day or so but I think this was just due to the septic tanks. Once wed used the shower a few times it cleared. Otherwise a brilliant stay in a great spot, we would definitely book again! Also highly recommend the Mardale Inn for food and a drink. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful property in a stunning location, and the field for the dogs was a big bonus. Ruth gave us a lovely warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. We loved it!

Christmas was amazing, we had the barn for chrustmas week and i can say Ruth was amazing from start to finish. The property was clean fitted with all facilities and comfort levels surpassed our expecations, this was truly a magical place and so perfect in fact concluded that in 2026 myself and my partner will be making a move to the lakes. This place is not to be missed and is truly exceptional in any form, and again thank you to Ruth for making that all the more special and perfect, we will be back! Adam & Lucy

Beautiful place, very modern and clean. Loved the secure fields for the dog! Beds were comfy, shower was great and hot tub was fantastic. The only points to improve was it maybe needed another couch or comfy chair for the lounge and some additional outdoor lighting out the back. Some string lights would be great or some down the fence line? Oh and a dry box for towels etc near the hot tub. All in all, fantastic and would stay again for sure.

Everything was just amazing from start to finish. Ruth was the utmost gracious host and explained where everything was. The cottage was just beautiful! There was nothing we would change and it had everything we needed. The hot tub is definitely a must! It was also quiet and highlighted nature at its best. Would love to return in the future.

Had a fantastic stay. The host is lovely and met us at the barn. Nothing was to much trouble for her. Hot tub was massive, barn had everything you need to a comfy stay, zero phone signal as its that remote but very good Internet so still connected and some lovely walks both from the barn or close by in car. Can't knock the place

We loved this cottage. Ruth the owner greeted us upon arrival which is always appreciated. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and very well equipped with the added benefit of a dog shower and EV charging point which was extremely useful. The location was peaceful and fully met all our requirements. Highly recommended.

Fantastic accommodation, beautiful outlook and very friendly welcome from Ruth.

Meadow Syke Barn is unique, full of character, the views are amazing and the hot tub, situated on the very secluded patio is a wonderful way to relax after a day out. The local area is of course a delight. Thank you Ruth and little grandson Liam for calling in to make sure we were fine.

Had a fantastic stay at Meadow Syke Barn. Ruth the host was very helpful on arrival and was on hand if needed throughout the stay. The barn is in a beautiful and peaceful place, and just a short walk to a great community run pub, shopcafe. There was everything you needed in the barn. A well equipped kitchen, great shower, the dog washing shower was a great touch too, and plenty of fields for them to explore. And to top it off the hot tub is amazing, great for watching the bats at dusk and for spotting red squirrels. Lots of lovely local walks and a great location to explore all the lakes. Highly recommend this property 5

Fantastic accommodation in beautiful and peaceful surroundings with a lovely sized hot tub after our hikes! Thanks to Ruth for the hospitality and advice on local walks. Highly recommended as a quiet haven in the Lakes, sad to leave after such a relaxing holiday!

The property is set in a little village, away from any main roads. It is exceptionally peaceful and very beautiful. We were warmly welcomed by Ruth. The property was very clean and had all of the things we needed for our stay. The use of car charging, washing facilities, including dog wash was an added bonus. The location is great, we were able to travel to lots of different locations with ease. The hot tub after a long day walking was much needed and set with the most stunning views across the countryside. There are 2 large bedrooms with their own bathrooms so lots of space for a small family. The local community pub is a must!

We enjoyed a wonderful 3 night stay, myself, my partner, my mother and our 1 year old Labrador. Ruth met us at the property and gave us a tour which was so lovely, the barn is beautiful, well set out and very clean and comfortable! The property was perfect for my mother who has low mobility so she had the ground floor bedroom and we had the bedroom upstairs. All equipped with walk in showers and even a dog wash facility in the utility room next door! There is a fully enclosed field about 10 steps away from the front door which our labrador thoroughly enjoyed and we especially loved the hot tub in the garden! A very welcome experience after the rainy days! We would absolutely recommend and would definitely stay here again!

A Wonderful Stay at Meadow Syke Barn! We had such a fantastic stay at Meadow Syke Barn and were warmly welcomed by Ruth, who gave us a lovely tour of the property. The barn itself is beautifulspacious, spotless, and very thoughtfully equipped. It was ideal for our us, especially my wife's mother with limited mobility, thanks to the comfortable ground floor bedroom and walkin shower. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with picturesque views all around and a large secure patio garden, perfect for relaxing and admiring the views. We didn't make use of the hot tub, but there is one located on the patio if required. The barn had everything we needed a wellequipped kitchen with thoughtful extras like coffee pods, tea, milk, biscuits, wine, and even toiletries and towels. We is also a reasonably priced EV charging point onsite. Ruth was amazingfriendly, helpful, and if needed only a phone call away. Her communication before and during our visit was excellent, and she truly made us feel at home. We also enjoyed a meal at the local pub The Mardale Inn ensure you book a table in advance and visited nearby Lowther Castle & Gardens and Larch Cottage Nurseries, about 20 minutes away. All in all, we had a fantastic 4 days and would 100 recommend Meadow Syke Barn for a base to visit the Lake District. We would definitely come back!

We were welcomed to the property on arrival by Ruth. She told us everything we needed to know. We had one issue that occurred during our stay but she was VERY quick at sorting it out. We will 100 be back!! It is a beautiful cottage with picturesque views all around. Perfect for some down time and time to relax. The hot tub just tops it off! No matter what the weather. As for location its a short journey away from local attractions.

Meadow Syke Barn is a truly amazing, very dog friendly and peaceful retreat that is well positioned to see lots of the major sights in the Lake District. Clean and spacious with a secure large patio garden for your dog. Added bonus of an optional hot tub to soak in after a day of hiking. The accommodation is well equipped, all you could need in the kitchen with thoughtful touches of tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, wine and milk available when you arrive. Comfortable beds and great bathrooms. Very reasonably priced electric car charging on site was really handy. What was truly outstanding was the friendly, welcoming nature of Ruth, the owner. Excellent communication before arrival, friendly welcome on arrival and available during your stay if you needed her. We would highly recommend Meadow Syke Barn and would stay again if ever in the area in the future. Thank you Ruth for a great holiday!

Ruth was very accommodating she met us on arrival and showed us round. They own the fields adjacent which was brilliant for the dog to have a run about. The cottage was clean, comfortable and Ruth had gone out of her way to provide extras like coffee pods, milk, bottle of wine, mini toiletries, bowls and towels for the dog. Fantastic stay definitely going again.

We had a really lovely weeks stay at the barn, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and amazing showers. Its lovely and peaceful and the views from the barn and the hot tub are amazing! We enjoyed a walk to the local pub, the Marsdale Inn and thoroughly enjoyed Pooley Bridge which is about 20 minutes away.

We loved the setting for Meadow Syke Barn next to the sheep and it was a great location for getting to some of the key sights of the Lake District! We enjoyed the hot tub despite the variable weather and the property had everything we needed. Thanks to Ruth!

We had a wonderful week at Meadow Syke Barn where we met up with old friends. The accommodation in this recently converted barn is delightful, very modern and tastefully done with the best of furniture and equipment. The host, Ruth, could not have been nicer and more helpful. The location is perfect quiet but only a stone's throw from the Lakes. Would not hesitate to recommend and look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

Absolutely wonderful stay! The property is fantastic and has everything you need. The owners are great and very accommodating.

Fantastic cottage and could not recommend enough. The host was fantastic and gave us a tour upon arrival never had that anywhere before, and the property was very well kept with lovely modern features. Finally the views were incredible during the day and at night we were able to sit in the hot tub and watch the stars We definitely plan on returning!

Simply wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the property has had so much care, love and attention input it definitely shows. The hot tub is a fabulous addition. Looking forward to a return visit.

My Wife and I have just returned from a 3 night stay at Meadow Syke Barn and the entire stay was fantastic, we will certainly be returning. A great added bonus with the underfloor heating!

Beautiful property, so clean and comfortable. The hot tub is HUGE too. Really nice spot to stay.

Beautiful property. Ruth was very helpful. The cottage had everything we needed and the use of washing facilities alongside an electric car charging point on site was super helpful. Would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely host Ruth, who greeted us on arrival and was available if we needed anything. Amazing property. Clean and spotless. Great secure garden so our dog could roam freely. The hot tub was amazing. The underfloor heating was a lovely touch. The only negative we had but wouldnt stop us booking again is there is very limited storage in the kitchen. So after we had a weeks worth of food delivery it was difficult to store it all. Next time we would just have 2 separate food deliveries in the week. Also there is very limited clothing storage. We managed as just the 2 of us staying, but would have struggled with 4 people staying. Again this wouldnt stop us booking again. Would say more suited to 2 people rather than 4 if staying longer than 23 nights. Only a 10minute walk to the local pub. Lovely staff, food and drink brilliant. Highly recommend and we aim to return in the future.

Perfect Girls Getaway in the Lake District We stayed at this beautifully refurbished, modern farmbased rental for a girls trip in January, and it couldnt have been better! The place was spotless, cosy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The hot tub was an absolute highlightperfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Despite being January, we were lucky with the weather, which made the stunning scenery even more enjoyable. The location was idealso close to local hiking trails, making it easy to get out and explore. Plus, there was a fantastic communityrun pub just a short walk away, where we had an amazing meal and enjoyed a great selection of wines. The hosts were really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. A perfect mix of comfort, character, and local charmwed definitely book again!
