Guests have enjoyed the stunning views and ideal location of Ghyll Bank Cow Shed, appreciating its well-appointed rooms and the warmth provided by underfloor heating. The property's cleanliness and maintenance have received some criticism, but overall stays have been positive with guests expressing a desire to return.
While many guests found the property well-kept, there were several mentions of areas needing more thorough cleaning, such as under furniture and the lounge carpet. The overall impression is that cleanliness is satisfactory but could be improved.
The location is frequently praised for its stunning views and peacefulness, with easy access to local attractions and walks. It is considered a highlight of the property.
Guests have found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially noting the effective underfloor heating. However, some minor discomforts were mentioned, such as the quality of pillows and the difficulty with flushing toilets.
The property is well-equipped, with good Wi-Fi and sufficient kitchenware, though some guests noted the need for better pans and minor maintenance issues. The facilities are generally appreciated but there is room for improvement.
There is a single mention of a welcome package being appreciated, but as this is not a consistent theme across the reviews, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available information.

Cottage is still good, in a wonderful position, with walks from the front door and fabulous views. Unfortunately holiday was spoilt a bit by very wet weather and the 2 other couples due to join us were unable to do so.

The property was a beautiful comfortable barn conversion carried out to a high degree. Rustic enough to be authentic, modern enough to offer a subtle luxury. The downstairs bedroom was a bonus for my partially disabled wife. The only observation I would have was the upstairs toilets donât flush very well. The views were breathtaking, the walking was as good as advertised.
