Guests say
Gill Barn is a spacious and comfortable cottage in a peaceful location near Penrith, ideal for dog owners with its enclosed garden and abundance of wildlife, including red squirrels. Guests appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, private garden, and proximity to local walks and attractions. While most found the property cosy and well-appointed, a few noted that cleanliness could be improved and that the stairs may be challenging for elderly guests or dogs. Overall, visitors enjoyed a relaxing and memorable stay in a beautiful setting.
Several guests mentioned issues with dust and cobwebs, suggesting the property would benefit from a more thorough clean. However, these comments were balanced by positive remarks about the overall comfort and cosiness of the cottage.
The location was widely praised for its tranquillity, proximity to Penrith and the Lake District, and access to local walks and wildlife. Some noted the approach road was narrow, but this did not detract significantly from the overall positive impression.
Guests found the cottage spacious, cosy, and warm, with comfortable beds and good facilities. The layout, with bedrooms downstairs and living areas upstairs, was appreciated by most, though the stairs posed a challenge for some elderly guests and dogs.
The cottage was described as very well equipped, particularly the kitchen, and the enclosed garden was a highlight for dog owners. Minor issues such as an incorrect WiFi password in the manual were quickly resolved.

We have just got back from a lovely week at Gill Barn. The barn is large but comfortable, cosy and warm. It has everything you need for a great holiday. The owners have even provided a comprehensive guide to attractions and walks in the area ensuring you have an enjoyable holiday.The garden is definitely dog friendly, a relief to anyone owning an adventure terrier.We had a fantastic stay, even the weather was kind to us We will definitely return.
