Barn Hey Reviews

Emma
We really enjoyed our time at Barn Hey! The place was spotless, comfyand beautifully decorated. The hot tub was a lovely surprise after a long day. It's close to Grange over Sands and Cartmel, both worth exploring. The nearby pub served great food and had friendly staff. The welcome pack was a nice touch too. Thanks a lot!
James
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It's cosy, well stockedand super comfy. The hamper was a lovely touch when we arrived. We loved exploring Cartmel and the surrounding lakes. The local pub was just a short walk and served fantastic food. Definitely recommend!
Sarah
The cottage was lovely and spotless, really spaciousand freshly done up. The beds were super comfyand we had a distant sea view from the front rooms. Perfect location for exploring local sights, just watch out for no pavements walking to the Pheasant Inn.
