High House Barn

We can't recommend this property more in terms of quality, facilities, location and hosts. We ended up cooking every night as the kitchen was so beautiful and every appliance and utensil you could want was supplied. My partner and I love running and walking and there are so many options right from the door. A particular highlight was a walk from the property up over the hills to Skidaw, just breath-taking scenery. If you book, you won't be disappointed.

We were desperate to see a Red Squirrel on our trip, but unfortunately none were hiding around the lovely grounds to the property. We did however see a baby rabbit every morning rolling around, so that made up for it. Nothing we really didn't like, and if I am pushed I would say there is a hole in the entrance driveway as you pass the entrance gate which could do with filling in.

High House Barn has been fitted out to a high spec’, whilst maintaining the interesting and warm feel of the barn’s history. It is private and quiet, and at the same time convenient off the main Bassenthwaite road. View exceptional. There were also plenty of caring and helpful touches, such as toys and games for all ages, and a smashing kitchen fitted out with all you could need. We were very impressed to begin with, and liked it more and more as we discovered it.

Not very much. We had a great time, and will definitely go back.

The property is beautifully set up with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view is spectacular. The hosts are also very friendly and accommodating.

The location is great with views over Bassenthwaite. Quiet and secluded eventhough close to main road.

The High House Barn is the most beautiful place to spend a peaceful family holiday. It felt like a home away from home. A lovely house in the most amazing area <3 The owners were so helpful and even left toys and books for our toddler to use. We will definitely visit again!

The location is perfect with fabulous views, lovely walks nearby and only a 10-minute drive from Keswick. The barn's interior is spacious, bright and inviting. Warm and accommodating hosts.

High House Barn has been renovated beautifully! The attention to detail is unmatched for a rental property in the area and we had everything we could have possibly needed for our stay. We brought our dog and he was able to run around and play in an enclosed garden with Kathryn’s two very friendly sausage dogs - the views from the garden were amazing! We really loved the huge map of the area on the kitchen wall - it was great for planning our walks every day.

It’s hard to fault it! The beds were really comfy, sheets were lovely and showers were great. The barn isn’t walking distance to any shops or pubs, so you’ll have to drive but it’s not the end of the world. We ended up eating dinner in every night and really enjoyed curling up in front of the TV with the fire on.

High House Barn is stunning! Beautifully appointed, wonderfully cosy, so many thoughtful details including some gorgeous breakfast goodies, it felt like home from home. Jordan and Kathryn are wonderful hosts. Very knowledgeable about the area, giving with their time and passionate about the gorgeous holiday home they have created for their guests to enjoy. We loved every moment of our stay and will definitely be returning soon.

Absolutely nothing - we loved everything!

The Accommodation: The barn was perfect. It has been recently renovated to a high standard and was decorated beautifully. It featured two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully-fitted kitchen, and a bright and airy living space. It was even better than the photos. The views from the property were equally stunning. Hosts: Kathryn and Jordan are wonderful hosts; friendly and responsive. They strike the perfect balance between giving you privacy and being accessible should you need anything. Location: The location was ideal. The barn is located off of good roads, within a few minutes of the A66. It is within an easy drive of both Keswick and Cockermouth for supplies, and has numerous walks both from the property and nearby. Overall: Absolutely phenomenal place to stay. I look forward to coming back soon.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

High House Barn was lovely- warm and cosy, with AMAZING views over Bassenthwaite lake and the mountains. My favourite thing was having a quiet cup of coffee first thing in the morning looking at them, and a cold glass of white in the evening watching the sunsets - I think the barn has the best views in the district! Bedrooms and were cosy and everything was pristine, excellent hot water and water pressure in great showers, great WiFi- my husband and I worked whilst splitting childcare over half term. Kitchen was great- everything you need was there- including things that often get overlooked- like Tupperware for being able to take food on hikes! Lots of lovely small touches like the drawers of games, books and puzzles for everyone. And the kids loved meeting the owners super friendly sausage dogs- I think we may have to get one now! We loved our half term stay- we’ll be back!

Nothing! Was a great stay- we’ll be back!
