Absolutely amazing cottage 2nd year being back and couldnt ask for any better we absolutely love it and hope to return next year. Everything is perfect and owner is really lovely and always has extra touches.
Joanna
The cottage was warm, comfortable and nicely furnished but the extremely steep drive was a real problem on arrival in wet conditions two cars had wheel spin, only the 4wheeldrive car made it to the cottage with ease. It must be a nightmare in wintry conditions. This should be made clear before people book. More food storage and worktop space in the kitchen would be a good idea.
Our Hart Head Barn review: This was our second visit to your beautiful house and it didn't disappoint. We walked Loughrigg Fell, the coffin route and Alcock Tarn, Elterwater and Cathedral Caves and Skelwith Bridge to Elterwater. This place is perfect, and the hot tub is a great way to end a day of walking. We were lucky to see the northern lights put on a display on our last night. Thank you for such a fabulous base to enjoy this glorious part of the country that holds a very special place in our hearts. We visited a number of local restaurants and can recommend Matthew Bistro, The Badger Bar the Priest Hole and and the Swan for Sunday lunch.
We loved staying at Hart Head Barn it was wonderful. It's a very comfortable property, well equipped, super comfortable beds and loads of space to relax in the lounge which can be a challenge to find. The hot tub was a bonus. My sister and I enjoyed a long overdue catchup chatting and stargazing whilst the men in our lives relaxed in front of the TV. Just one thing really that would have made the experience perfect the mirror in the main bedroom is way too high up on the wall to use to drystyle your hair, put make up on etc not that we used much makeup!. There isn't a single mirror in the house where you can 'sit and style' apart from outside the bedroom in the hallway which isn't ideal. My sister and I took it in turns to sit on the floor. It's not a show stopper but would be a nice facility to have. Much as I loved the house, I'm still recovering from knee surgery following an accident in Dec 2022 and the walk back from the bus stop or the pub was an absolute killer for me. I dreaded it to be honest at the end of each day especially if you'd just had a nice relaxing meal to then have to 'climb a mountain' to get home was not how I wanted to end my evening. Personally, I also didn't like the access by car either it's way too steep for my comfort zone but I realise that this wouldn't faze most people and it's not something you can change of course. In summary, loved the house, loved the convenience, centrally located, loved the views from the property but didn't love the approach to the property and an accessible mirror would have been the icing on the cake. Thank you for contributing to a memorable stay, once again in the Lake District.

We had a wonderful stay, with every thing we could need provided in the wellappointed Hart Head Barn. The photos are very accurate to the excellent condition of the cottage. After each day of walking we truly enjoyed a soak in the hot tub. The location is a perfect blend of rural quiet and very small village convenience. In the mornings we enjoyed walking to the nearby cafe at Rydal Hall overlooking a cascading stream, and in the evenings the food and drink at The Badger Bar pub just steps away, There are great hikes right from the cottage try the loop around to see Rydal Cave, Rydal Water, and Grasmere, returning via the Coffin Road. Ambleside is just 5 minutes drive away. This is a superb base for a family or group in the central lakes.
Claire
Lovely cottage, excellently located for walks and things to do.
Hart Head Barn is a beautiful property in a stunning location. There is a gorgeous sitting room with views across to Lake Windermere. You can walk out from the house towards Grasmere and Ambleside. All the facilities are well maintained and the beds are very comfortable. The hot tub was just the icing on the cake! We had a wonderful holiday here.
