Ghyll Bank Barn is praised for its stunning views, peacefulness, and spaciousness, providing a comfortable and warm stay. Guests appreciate the property's beautiful location and the convenience of nearby walks and attractions. Some concerns about kitchen equipment and cleanliness are noted, but the overall experience is highly regarded, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Cleanliness

The property generally maintains good cleanliness, with several guests finding it clean and comfortable. However, there are mentions of dust, cobwebs, and a few instances where kitchen items and sofas appeared not thoroughly cleaned. The cleanliness of the property is satisfactory for most, but there is room for improvement.

Location

The location is highly praised for its stunning views and tranquility. It offers a great base for exploring Windermere and other attractions, with plenty of parking and picturesque walks right from the doorstep. The single-track access road is noted, but it does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.

Comfort

Guests find the property comfortable, with a warm atmosphere and adequate space. The presence of underfloor heating and cosy furnishings contribute to the comfort. However, some guests suggest that larger sofas and additional soft furnishings could enhance the comfort level further.

Facilities

The facilities are generally appreciated, especially the patio and views. However, there are several comments about the inadequacy of kitchen equipment, blunt knives, and a lack of basic cleaning supplies. The Wi-Fi connectivity is also mentioned as being patchy. These issues suggest that while the facilities are good, they require attention and better maintenance.

About this property

Staveley 1.5 miles. An elegant holiday cottage, set in the centre of a barn conversion at Ghyll Bank within the Lake District National Park, close to Staveley village. The cottage is presented to an excellent standard with two bedrooms, a luxury family bathroom and a spacious, farmhouse-style kitchen. Both bedrooms are beautifully furnished, whilst the bathroom has a touch of luxury and a feature beam across the back wall. The kitchen and dining area lead to a bright, charming sitting room, which enjoys beautiful views out across the fells and an exterior door leading to the patio. You can sit outside and enjoy the views in the sunshine over lunch, or relax with a drink in the evening. This wonderful cottage is a mile and a half from Staveley, and an excellent holiday base for exploring The Lake District throughout the year. Note: The property is attached to Refs. 11534 and 11536, together they sleep 17.

Just five miles from the famous town of Windemere, Staveley is truly in the heart of the Lakelands. This charming village is just a stone's throw from the borders of the Lake District National Park and offers wonderful and scenic opportunities for walkers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts. The village itself is well-served by a number of shops, a trio of pubs and a railway station, offering relaxing rides through the surrounding countryside. Nearby attractions include the famous Lake Windemere, where you can soak up the spectacular panorama from a boat or take a ferry trip to the Lakeside Aquarium or the Grizedale Forest Park. Ambleside, the centre of English mountaineering, is also close by offering visitors the chance to go climbing.
