“Meadow Skye Byre is truly a wonderful cottage for a quiet, relaxing break.”

Ruth the host is brilliant with her local knowledge and keeps the property and surrounding area immaculate. This area of The Lakes is wonderfully unspoilt and quiet, perfect to get away from it all and see the red squirrels morning and night. The cottage itself is clean, well equipped and very dog friendly - the dog field/s are amazing. Lovely super king bed. Views are stunning. We never go back to a property, but this cottage was so good, we're coming back next year.

“We had a lovely break at Meadow Syke Barn which is well equipped and comfortable.”

A warm welcome from Ruth and treats for both ourselves and our dog were a nice touch and very much appreciated. The property is well situated for exploring The Lakes and is easy to find, helped by good directions from Ruth. The peace and tranquillity of the surroundings together with glorious weather were exactly what we needed and we would definitely stay again.

“We have just left after spending a week in this cottage and loved it so much we are going to rebook as soon as we get home!”

Ruth is an amazing host and met us at the property after a very long drive. She showed us around the property and also kept us up to date during our stay when there was a power cut, which was appreciated. The cottage is just beautiful and perfect. The attention to detail during the renovation of the barn is spot on. The cottage itself is spotless, and has all the amenities that you need. The bed was so comfortable, we are going to buy the same mattress for our home! The hot tub was just what we needed after exploring the area. Our two dogs were well catered for with bowls, blankets and towels along with some welcome biscuits for them. The cottage comes with bi fold doors, which we took advantage of when the weather was nice, and it just made the property feel so much bigger. We would have liked a 3 seater sofa or a small chair in the living room as we felt the seating area was restricted, but that is just a very minor detail. I have seen a review on the bigger cottage next door, complaining about access to the property being difficult and you cannot swing your car into the access point if you approach from the left hand side. Ignore that negative review, we have a 4x4 vehicle and managed to do it every time with no issues! All in all, we loved staying here, the dogs loved it and we will be back soon!

“The cottage was absolutely fantastic, we booked it for our mini moon and it didn't disappoint.”

The hot tub was fantastic, the bed was so comfortable and it was spotlessly clean when we arrived. We'd have liked a slightly bigger sofa to sit and watch TV but that's the only slightly negative point. We'd 100% book again

“Fantastic property, fantastic location, fantastic host.”

Everything was perfect for us and the dog washing facility was greatly appreciated at the end of a very muddy 8 hour hike. Ruth was a lovely host and nothing seemed too much trouble, coming to our rescue to help us get to a 50th birthday meal. The location was ideal to get out and explore the hills and the barn was a great place to relax at the end of a hike. The hot tub was nice and hot even on a cold rainy evening. Also the bed was so comfy, we almost took it back home with us. Thank you again for a memorably stay. I wouldn’t to have wanted to celebrate my birthday anywhere else.

- Paul, March 2024

“Excellent accommodation, warm, cosy and perfect for our needs.”

The hot tub was an added bonus. Great area to explore the quieter areas of the Lake District. Ruth the owner was very helpful

“Our stay was absolutely amazing.”

The lovely warm welcome from Ruth was much appreciated. The barn was spotless, and had everything you could think of. We had our very large cane corso with us who we sometimes worry about travelling with due to his size, but Ruth was really good with him. The treats, extra bowls, towels and throws were great. The enclosed field straight outside the barn was amazing for him to run around on inbetween adventures! The hot tub was amazing and Ruth came everyday to check it which was great and really appreciated. The bed was sooo comfy and great after a long day of walking when you were aching. Thanks again for such a perfect break. We will definitely be back

“Beautiful place with amazing views.”

Such a lovely host Ruth was amazing. Everything you need is in this cottage. Hot tub views are incredible and you can watch nature from the comfort of the hot tub. The dog walks are fantastic with plenty of them. The cottage even has doggy shower in next barn. We will be coming back very soon

“This was our first Xmas away with the family, our parents stayed with us and my sister & hubby stayed next door at the Byre.”

We met Ruth on arrival and what a lovely lady, Both properties were decorated for Xmas, trees, ornaments etc which was amazing. Hot tub was great addition. The underfloor heating was a godsend. Both properties are furnished to a high standard & all mod cons. We had 3 dogs with us who were well catered for, blankets, towels & treats. If your looking to get away from the rat race and relax in comfort / style this is the place to be Thanks Ruth

Shona November 2023

“Absolutely fantastic property, immaculately clean and beautifully presented with a very generous welcome pack.”

Ruth met us on arrival and took us through the property showing us everything and also some great historical facts reference the barn. Her enthusiasm for the area and recommendations meant we had some wonderful days out. Perfectly located for a tranquil and peaceful getaway while allowing easy routes in all directions for great exploration of the lakes and further a field. We would love to return next year and will be recommending this wonderful accommodation to family and friends. We had our 2 pooches with us and had access to dog shower and washing/drying room with dog treats, towels etc. We were visited by red squirrels, wood peckers and tree creepers. The hot tub of an evening under the stars & Milky Way as well as being able to see the Northern Lights was incredible! An absolutely Perfect Week away!

Jacqui November 2023

“It was our first time away with the dog so wasn't quite sure what to expect.”

We needn't have worried as the property was amazing. The little touches like treats and towels for the dog and a lovely welcome basket was very much appreciated. Our host Ruth was lovely and very welcoming and she pointed out places to walk and eat.But the hot tub at the end of a long day walking and sightseeing was absolute heaven and a great vantage point for watching the red squirrels. We would definitely stay here again.

Andrew September 2023

“Our host Ruth met us at the front door and explained everything we needed to know about the accommodation.”

Ruth was very welcoming and friendly, telling us if we needed anything just to give her a call. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well laid out, we had a very relaxing time staying at the Meadow Byre, just sitting in the small garden watching the red squirrels. The amenities that were provided were all you could wish for during a self catering holiday, including a bottle of wine as part of the the welcome pack whichincluded tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and other basics. We really had a most enjoyable and relaxing time and we intend to book again.

- Andrew, September 2023
Chloe September 2023

“Such a beautiful cottage in a perfect setting.”

The host is lovely, friendly and so helpful. The cottage is immaculate and you can see the care that has been put into it, they've really thought of everything. We would love to go back and can't recommend highly enough.

Megan August 2023

“Amazing property, fantastic views from the byre, Ruth was the most welcoming, helpful host, complimentary biscuits and wine was a lovely touch.”

The byre is beautifully furnished, had the most comfortable massive bed! Hot tub was super, and easy to use. Brampton village is literally a 10 minute walk if that away, great local pub there for meals and drinks. I wish I could have stayed forever! Will most definitely be back!

- Megan, August 2023
Paul August 2023

“Great cottage, everything you need is provided.”

Very comfortable and clean. Ruth was there to meet us and was perfect host. Hot tub was great and garden was secure for our dogs. Short walk to village for the pub and store. Can’t fault anything. One great addition would be a structure over hot tub for keeping rain off in our great British summertime.

Julie July 2023

“This little cottage was delightful, had everything we needed.”

. Only downside was whilst eating at the table the sun gets in your eyes.. We couldn't get on internet most days too, to watch tv.. probably due to where we were.. but we had the hot tub to enjoy instead..

- Julie, July 2023

We are so glad you enjoyed the cottage & had everything you needed, but we were sorry to hear you had a problem with the TV internet. We were totaly unaware there was an issue. We have now addressed this which was not due to where you were but a hardwear issue which has now been fixed Property Owner
Loiuse July 2023

“We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cottage.”

The location is perfect, we loved looking out and seeing the red squirrels and the sheep. I messaged the owners and let them know it was our mini moon and they had decorated the cottage with petals, left flowers, chocolates and champagne for us, and the swan towels were a lovely touch. Can’t wait to visit again. Thank you so much for a lovely break away.

- Loiuse, July 2023

thank you for your lovely comments. I am so glad you enjoyed your mini moon and wishing you future happiness Property Owner
Leye July 2023

“Wow, absolutely stunning.”

Ideal location for the lake district. Gorgeous facilities with THE comfiest bed. Hot tub was secluded and felt very private. Surrounded by beautiful scenery. Extremely accommodating owners who are lovely and went above and beyond. Cleanliness was exceptional. Will definitely be returning.

- Leye, July 2023
Susan July 2023

“This property is stunning.”

The location is idyllic. The barn is beautifully decorated with top quality finishes throughout. The hot tub is a real winner after a long day walking round the lakes which are all within a 50 min drive (Windermere) and some as close as 20 mins away (Ullswater). The host has thought of pretty much everything - fully equipped kitchen, treats for the dog and us on arrival, everything you’d want in a home from home. Can’t recommend it enough. We will be back!

- Susan, July 2023

“Absolutely FANTASTIC property.”

Me, my partner and our 2 Labradors (Heidi & Zoe) stayed here for the weekend (first weekend of opening) and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home for the weekend. Everything was completely perfect from start to finish - there wasn’t anything more we could of asked for at Meadow Syke Byre. Ruth was very welcoming and showed us around the property, explained how the hot tub worked and also showed us the utility room - dog shower, one word… AMAZING and well needed after busy days exploring The Lake District. The whole accommodation and lay out is very well thought out and at such a high standard. The bed was by far the comfiest we have EVER slept on - so much so we’ve already ordered a DreamCloud mattress since visiting! We were also amazed to find out there is a door through to the property next door - fabulous if you’re going away with family or friends and one we will definitely bare in mind for future bookings. The fields outside the property were amazing and extremely useful for letting the girls out for a run first thing on a morning and last thing at night! Overall we had a perfect weekend at Meadow Syke Barn, we will 100% recommend the property to family and friends and hopefully be back again when we next explore The Lake District! Thank you Ruth for a wonderful stay - we hope to see you again in the near future, Beth & Marc (and Heidi & Zoe)

- Beth, June 2023

Thanks so much Beth for your lovely comments. I am so please you all had a great weekend and look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner
