we booked this dog friendly cottage to escape bonfire night in Liverpool. It was chosen for its remoteness and it did'nt disappoint
in that regard, situated about 6 mile from Kirby Lonsdale at the end of a single track lane. The cottage is very modern and spotlessly clean with new bathrooms and a modern kitchen. All so important is the very fast wi-fi , a must in todays world.
We have no hesitation in recommending Mill House Cottage's, so much so that we have already booked for next years bonfire night in another Mill House cottage nearby.

We have just returned home following a short break at Howgill’s Barn and had a lovely time. It is very well equipped and had everything we needed.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious and certainly had the Wow factor.

Our only minor niggles were that the bed in the master bedroom wasn’t particularly comfortable, although recognise this is a tricky one as it is down to personal preference. The property could also do with some shelving near the shower.

The narrow lanes leading up to the barn were a little nerve wracking, but thankfully we didn’t meet anyone coming the other way.

We really appreciated the views from the property and felt it was a good base to explore the Dales and the Lakes.

Beautiful Barn conversion stay for New Year. Four of us travelled on the worst weather conditions to hit the UK in December and had a bit of difficulty finding it at first and would
Have preferred to enter the property earlier than 4pm ! However once settled it was lovely! All top quality fittings and fixtures .amazing beds especially the main super queen sized lovely comfy bed with fab bedding and a roll top bath and walk through shower room en-suite! Second bedroom bedroom and bathroom was also lovely and shared by daughter and granddaughter ! We couldn’t walk far due to the awful wet weather but did manage a few and our cockapoo Teddy enjoyed himself as usual!! The kitchen is high gloss and well supplied with everything you could want with lovely Denby crockery and plenty of decent glasses for a change.for some reason the one cupboard I didn’t check and check on leaving was the most expensive food items that hasn’t been opened , sorry and hope you where able to make use of pass to a food bank maybe !!
The wood fire stove need attention we think as hubby saw there is a piece that helps
Draw the fire up could be broken off! Also the voile curtain in the main bedroom needs replacing due to a little mould and broken fittings i am afraid. But otherwise all just lovely and cosy.the owners are a helpful and I needed to contact Steve the owner who was away over a simple question and he came Back super fast and helped straight away! If you lovenlong walks isolation and not worried about the hairy drive up the climbing lanes then this is the pace foe you but not if you have walking problems ! What a view though and if I could live there I would! In summer (real summer Hahha ) it must be fabulous..

We had admired Howgills Barn from the outside 8 years ago when we stayed nearby in Southerdale, and vowed to try and stay there on our next visit to England. We weren't disappointed. The property is in a beautiful part of the country between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales and the surrounding area is quiet. The cottage itself is very clean and well-equipped making it easy to self-cater, and with two bedrooms and two bathrooms it is ideal for a family or two couples. The lounges and beds were very comfortable, and the showers were hot and strong, unlike many in England. Parking right outside is a convenient feature, and we appreciated that the cottage is all on one level. It is close to some great surrounding towns and villages, like Kirkby Lonsdale and Sedbergh, and many other Lake District and Yorkshire areas are within an hour's drive. Highly recommended.

Howgills Barn is a very comfortable and well equipped place to stay. It is in a peaceful and beautiful location and is furnished and decorated to a very high standard. The access road is not for the inexperienced driver as it is single track. Nevertheless this did not put us off and can't wait to return next year. A wonderful place to stay

We loved our stay at Howgill Barn. The house is beautifully situation and offers luxury comfort. It is conveniently located for visiting the dales. We enjoyed cycling and walking as well as the plethora of independent shops, cafes, galleries and restaurants in Kirkby and surrounding villages. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would love to return.

There is a large window above the door that needs to have a blind fitted, so as the sun does not blind you when you are sitting at the dinning table, or watching TV. There needs to be more kitchen utencils avavilable so you can cook for yourself. Not enough toilet rolls/ kitchen rolls. NO cling flim. There were cobwebs in all of the rooms on the ceiling . Dead flies on the floor in the bedroom.

This was a very nice place to stay, although it is a little bit off the beaten track. The only things we felt were missing were wastepaper bins in the bedrooms, a rack in the showers to put shampoo etc on. It would actually have been nice if these were included in the bathroom especially as you weren’t near shops.
The only other thing we felt was missing was instructions in the laundry on how to use the washing machine, we ended up having to ask Google on how to use it.
All in all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone as it was a very pleasant place to stay in, especially with the views surrounding the farm.

The cottage is situated in a peaceful location with stunning views. It is close to the town of Kirby Lonsdale. We loved the walk from the cottage into the village of Barbon and enjoyed a coffee stop at ‘The Church Mouse’ The cottage was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. It would have been great to have had better seating outside so that you can enjoy the views.

We visited Howgills Barn last weekend and woke up to snow on the first morning. The owners were welcoming and made sure the lane was gritted so we could go out.
The cottage itself was warm and comfortable and it was a real treat to stay there. The views and countryside are stunning and there are lots of things to do and see in the area.
We had previously had to rearrange our stay at short notice and this was not a problem. We would certainly recommend and would love to return.

Had a very enjoyable week in the cottage. Good central heating, plenty of hot water and a powerful shower. Peaceful location at the end of a track. Super broadband. Large comfy beds. Excellent walks from the cottage. All positive, a very minor negative is that the fridge has a tiny handle at the base (just large enough to get your fingertips on it) and it is very hard to open! Had to use 2 hands. Maybe we are just getting old! A few more teaspoons would be useful, but these are very very minor points.
We would go again.

Another wonderful stay at Howgills, I do however feel that the mattress in the master bedroom could do with being replaced as has lost its comfort, and the oven needs a light replacing and the oven seal replacing, as this was the same back in December.

If you are seeking perfect peace and quiet amongst outstanding scenery then you need to stay here.
The property looks to be an old stone barn converted into a luxury cottage.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a full meal if you don’t want to eat out.
The bedrooms are large both with double beds ( mattresses a little on the soft side ) and huge ensuite bathrooms with plentiful hot water ( couldn’t find shaver plugs to charge toothbrushes )
The living area is comfortable with a log burner and large smart TV. WIFI was quick.
Once you turn off the main road the roads to the cottage are very narrow country lanes which may not suit nervous drivers but there are passing places and although we went out every day we only met oncoming traffic once.
The best part about this property is its location so quiet and peaceful with Fell walking starting behind the property. It seems you are in perfect isolation but a 25 min walk will bring you to a pub which serves meals and a 10 min drive to the bustling town of Kirkby Lonsdale with all the amenities you cold need.
If you are in need of rest and to recharge your batteries we cannot recommend this cottage highly enough.

Well what can we say. One of our most enjoyable breaks ever. The location and accommodation were literally breathtaking. Stephen and Julie were very welcoming and we really enjoyed the company of their gorgeous dogs, Pepper and Tolly, who came to see us on numerous occasions. Great walk into Barbon. We also visited Kirkby Lonsdale, Kirkby Stephen and Kendall. However returning to Howgills every afternoon for a welcoming beverage in the sunshine was just the icing on the cake. Can not recommend highly enough. Thank you Stephen and Julie.

Lovely property in a stunning location. The barn has been decorated and furnished to a high standard. Lovely welcome box from the owners which was very much appreciated - thank you.
It had been cleaned to a relatively good standard, but noticeable cobwebs/dead spiders in the corners of one bedroom and very dusty blinds in both bathrooms. So maybe cleaners just need a reminder of the corners. Could do with somewhere to put soap/shampoo etc while in the showers, had to put them on floor which isn’t ideal. Extractor fan in bathroom with freestanding bath not working so gets very steamy & wet floor when using shower.
Would definitely recommend & would book again with Millhouse Cottages and would like to try some of the other properties they have to offer.

This place is amazing . We loved everything about our stay here . The Cottage is spotless and beautifully appointed. Huge comfy bed, big bath and all home comforts . Watching the wildlife from the window and sat on the little terrace after a long bike or cycle ride was great . The owners live on site but they’re not at all intrusive and are friendly as they go about their business. The whole place is a credit to them and we wouldn’t hesitate to return . Thanks for everything . Have recommended to all our friends .

Howgills Barn more than met our expectations. The moment we walked in it had the wow factor. Full of character yet modern, spacious yet cosy and very comfortable. Spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed, especially the kitchen, with everything you could need and more. The log burner in the lounge area provided for warm snug evenings in and both the bedrooms were large and comfortable with plenty of storage. Both bathrooms were also lovely, with large walk in wet room style showers and big baths.
The location is stunning, step outside the door and all around are unspoilt views of the dales. So quiet and peaceful. We have holidayed in this area for many years and love the dales and this is definitely an amazing place to stay to really appreciate the beauty of the area.

Everything at this cottage was amazing right from the start. As soon as we saw it driving up to it we knew it was a luxury Cottage. Opening the front door was jaw dropping at just how beautiful the living room was, double height ceilings, Oak Beams, amazing quality kitchen. The owners even left a bottle of wine and cake for us, which was lovely. 100% would go back and definitely recommend this to anyone.

We stayed at Howgills Barn and the Mill house, which were perfect for our family group. We really appreciated the opportunity to get away with total confidence in levels of cleanliness and the policies operated by the housekeeping team. The past few months have not been easy and we were very grateful to escape and enjoy the stunning views and solitude of the Dales. Julie and Stephen were very welcoming and answered our questions quickly. We have recommended them to many friends and hope to visit again.

Booked following a recommendation from a friend who stayed in December and was not disappointed. Just as we expected it’s in the middle of nowhere, 40 min walk to a pub which was just what we were loing for. The silence of the place was so peaceful. Beautiful walks along the lane or up the fell. Very high standard of fixtures and fittings, all rooms very spacious. Held 4 people but there was only myself and husband, however would not be on top of each other with other people, huge en-suite and main bathroom, you wouldn’t need to share. Welcome box with wine, cake and jam was lovely and definitely out to good use! Will definitely be returning.

Stayed at Howgills about 18 months ago and was very impressed then as we were on our Christmas / New Years break.
Very peaceful but not too far to visit local amenities.
We also went out on New Year’s Day for lunch at the local pub Barbon Inn recommended by Julie and Stephen.
Well worth a stay if you need to recharge after all the Christmas rush.

Howgills barn is a lovely property situated approximately 20 mins from Kirkby Lonsdale. It is in a quiet location but within easy reach of the main road into town. Both bedrooms, the living area and kitchen are comfortable and furnished to the highest standard. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need, right down to the ‘ little things’ not always provided such as cloths, foil, washing materials, even tea and coffee. Much appreciated.
On arrival the property was made to look ‘very welcoming’, lights and heating on, plus cake and wine provided ! Lovely !
An ideal base to explore Cumbria and Yorkshire. Plenty of pubs / restaurants nearby to visit for lunch or evening meal. Lots of information provided by the owners, plus follow ‘checks’ to make sure everything is ok with your visit.

Would definitely recommend Howgills barn and Mill house cottages.

Getting to Howgills Barn is 'interesting'. You'll get lost if you plumb the postcode into the Satnav - use the Google link the owners send you!
The Barn is about a mile off the main road down single track roads where passing another vehicle is a challenge. Still, when you get there the views are fabulous.
The Barn is a true 'Grand Design'. It has 2 very large bedrooms with king size beds and (effectively) dedicated bathrooms for each room. The open plan kitchen/dining/living room is well appointed with the central focus of a wood burner - something we made use of whilst there.
We were only there for a few days, but made use of many of the local eateries and pubs! The barn is close to Kirkby Lonsdale and only 30 minutes from Windermere and Ambleside.
If all the properties in the Mill House Cottages portfolio are like this you can't go wrong.

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay at Howgills Barn. It is a luxurious place to stay with plenty space in a tranquil area where all you hear is the sound of bridsong....perfect! Only a short drive to our favourite market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Will definitely be coming back here!

Another excellent stay with Mill House Cottages. Howgills Barn is a beautiful property with all you need for a relaxing stay. A very high standard of accommodation, cleanliness, and comfort. Whatever the weather you can either enjoy the cosiness of the fire in winter, or the fabulous far reaching views on a beautiful summers day.
Perfectly situated for walkers with Yorkshire Dales, Lakeland Fells, and Trough of Bowland on your doorstep.
Kirkby Lonsdale is a short drive away, offering good restaurants, bars and shops for a morning or afternoons mooching.
Perfect!

This is our 2nd visit to Howgills Barn and we just loved it as much as the 1st. Accomodation is beautiful - lots of space for 4 people with individual bathrooms. Lovely log fire with supplies of logs and use of washing facilities which is great.

Area is perfect and quiet - can walk to local pub however was closed on 2 of the 3 occasions we walked there.

Owners could not be nicer, very accommodating and check in on you to ensure all is ok... which it was.

Lots to do in the area we would defo go back and we use Mill House cottages regularly.

Couple of very minor points on house - toilet seats could do with being replaced - discoloured and rusty underneath and main bed mattress could do with a softer cover on top - maybe personal preference. As say minor points the barn is absolutely spotless on the whole.

Dear Stephen and Julie
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your amazing barn. It is truly wonderful and a credit to you both. The property was immaculately clean, well cared for and incredibly stylish. We enjoyed walking to The Barbon Inn on your recommendation and were made to feel very welcome there as well. We will certainly recommend Mill House Cottages to friends and family. Hope to see you again soon in the not too distant future.

Although we live very close to the Lune Valley it is only when you are able to stay in the area that you realise how special it is. Staying at Howgills Barn was wonderful. Pure luxury and a log burning stove for those chilly Autumn nights enhanced the time we spent there. Can’t waite for an opportunity to return.

Have stayed at Howgills Barn before - about 4 years ago - and very pleased to say it is still a wonderful property in an outstanding location. The Barn is superbly fitted out with everything you'd need for a 'home from home' stay. The accommodation is top class, as is the service and customer care from Stephen and Julie. It's a perfect base from which to tour round Cumbria, The Lakes and The Dales.

Even the weather was kind to us for the several days we were there. With day-long warm sun, clear blue skies and the incredible autumn colours of the woods and the Fells, it really was special. No need to visit New England in the Fall when old England is as good as this!

We spent a wonderful few days at Howgills Barn
The property was spacious, extremely clean with contemporary styling which we loved.
We lit the log burner on a couple of evenings which made the house very cosy.
Great places to eat locally and further afield.
Fantastic base to explore the Yorkshire Dales and The Lake District
We will be back !

Howgills barn is a fabulous place to stay especially for those with mobility problems. Apart from a couple of steps up to the barn you are then on one level. It has high quality furnishings, a superb fitted kitchen with all the appliances you need and stunning bathrooms/wet rooms for each of the two bedrooms. It truly deserves its 5*gold rating. Julie & Stephen the owners were extremely helpful hosts especially when taking delivery and removal of the oxygen system required for our stay. We will not hesitate to return again.

This was our third stay with millhouse cottages and the second at howgills barn. It is a five star property creating high expectations which, for the most part are met. A chest of drawers in the front bedroom would be very useful. The adjacent store room is great but drawers for stuff which can’t be hung would be an improvement.
We thought the overall standard of cleanliness wasn’t as good as last time. Cobwebs on walls, dust in corners, smeary glass.
Finally, whilst not wishing to suggest that the duvet cover had not been freshly laundered, the underside bore several highly suspicious marks. Not nice wondering what you might be getting into bed with.
Lest this all sounds too damning let me say we had a lovely week and will no doubt be booking with mill house cottages again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your recent stay. We are delighted that you had a wonderful time with us. Thank you so much for raising your concerns with us I have spoken to the Housekeeping Team about your feedback and they are mortified that you weren't fully happy with the standard. Of course all linen is freshly laundered - that goes without saying ! Hope to see you again in the future. Best Regards Stephen and Julie

This is the third time we have used with Mill House Cottages and the second time we have stayed in Howgills Barn.

This is a beautiful peaceful location with accommodation to match and deserves its 5 Star rating. The accommodation is fantastic, comfortable and well laid out. We are in the process of booking again for next year because for us this is a little bit of heaven and we always leave our time feeling refreshed. Great hosts who are available but do not bother you unless you need it. We would recommend this to anyone.

Comfort and style were unreal and all the tittle touches that are added made our stay more memorable the hamper was so welcoming and the toiletries from "Bath house" were a luxury we actually came home and ordered some for our selves. Communication was excellent we received a text welcoming us on arrival a home visit to check that everything was fine and then a text to wish us a safe journey home. We would most certainly recommend a stay.



We had a wonderful stay the only issue being the lack of small windows to open in the master bedroom

The property was excellent in every way. The quality of furniture, crockery etc was beautiful. Maybe just a couple of more cooking utensils (blender, whisk etc and a new sauté pan) would have been helpful as we loved eating in. Look forward to coming again soon.

This made for the perfect weekend for my son's 18th Birthday. We hired Howgill's and Mill House cottage, both were superb. Mill House is an old favourite and it is completely refreshed after the redecoration. They both were comfy, cosy and had all the little touches you could hope for.

Spacious , comfortable, stylish accommodation for 4 ( plus well-behaved dog). The exceptional weather- hot and sunny in June - added to the pleasure. BBQ alfresco eating at 9pm almost unheard of in this part of the world especially several nights in a row.
Hosts available without being in anyway intrusive. Being very picky a little issue with lack of clothes hooks in bathrooms and bedrooms and the main bathroom shower could not be used to full as it would flood the bathroom and possibly beyond.
Local walking is for the very fit due to the steepness of the hill however a trip to Kirkby Lonsdale provides excellent walking along the river into the town. Eating out no problem even with a dog ( The Royal in the town very accommodating and good value )
Cottage provides easy access to places of interest in Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire Dales. All in all; highly recommended.

My wife and I spent a week at Howgills Barn and despite the poor weather we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is in a stunning location and is absolutely fabulous inside, fitted out to a very high standard, the attention to detail is fabulous right down to the Nespresso machine and the welcome goodies.
Highly recommended for the Lakes or the Dales and Kirkby Lonsdale (6 miles) is lovely with lots of great places to eat.

Our stay at Hogwills Barn was our second stay with Mill House Cottages and like the first it did not disappoint us. We love the area, and the standard and comfort of the accommodation was absolutely fantastic. The friendliness and welcome were outstanding and it is our intention to definitely stay again. Some of our family were with us and this was their first stay here and they thought the accommodation was awesome. We would recommend this as a number one choice when deciding to visit the area of Cumbria or the Yorkshire Dales.

Howgills Barn is a lovely place to stay. The beds are extremely comfortable, even the bedding had a lovely fresh linen smell and the barn offers a truly 'home from home' experience. We visited the barn with some friends and there is plenty of space for four adults, with all the amenities required. The location was great for us, very remote but lots of great places to visit nearby. The views are spectacular and it really was a truly relaxing break. We will definitely return!

I would just like to say what a wonderful time myself and my parents had at Howgills Barn.
The accommodation itself was top class and had everything we needed. Everything was so comfortable and we had a nice relaxing stay.
The welcome pack was very much appreciated, as was the coffee.
No complaints whatsoever.

The location is also ideal for visiting both the lakes and the Yorkshire Dales, and the countryside between Barbon and Dent was totally unexpected. The location is also perfect for anyone looking simply to chill and to recharge the batteries./

I would definitely consider coming back to stay.

The barn was lovely and well appointed, well located and modern. The surrounding scenery was spectacular, and it seems that the local walks were well off the beaten track. The amenities in the facility were generally great, the shower was powerful and the Internet reliable. We thoroughly enjoyed using the kitchen and it had all the implements you could want. Julie and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.

However there were a couple of things I felt could be improved.

We only used one of the bedrooms but were disappointed to find polycotton bedding, and the mattress was somewhat sunken. Additionally we arrived with a baby and had requested a cot but we weren't informed that bedding wasn't supplied. We were offered a sheet for the cot when we asked the following day, but it would have been helpful to know in advance.

We enjoyed a wonderful week in this superb cottage. Everything was beautifully crafted, immaculately clean and to a very high standard. The peaceful surroundings, at the foot of the fell were breathtakingly beautiful. Even the weather was perfect - the only downside was it was much too warm to light the log burner! Maybe a reason to return in colder weather?
Stephen & Julie were perfect hosts - friendly & helpful yet respectful of our privacy.
The area is far away from the madding crowd, surrounded by fields and meadows but only 10 minutes from Kirby Lonsdale. After a day out in the Lakes or Dales the cottage was a perfect retreat. We enjoyed an excellent meal at the friendly local inn at Barbon.
All in all, a great holiday which suited us and our aging parents.
Thank you! We hope to return.

The area is breathtaking. The stunning lake district is close enough to visit - but do not miss the beauty of this part of the Yorkshire Dales.
Julie and Steve are the ultimate hosts and have great attention to detail.
Definitely returning

You would go a long way to find a property of this quality for the price. Fixture and fittings are to the highest standard and the super king beds are extremely comfortable. The location is ideal for those wishing to visit the sights and villages in both the Dales and the Lake District, despite being off the beaten track. The owners are very friendly and obliging. Howgills is definitely worth another visit.

We are returners to Howgills Barn and find its surroundings stunningly beautiful. Despite the weather we had a most restful and enjoyable stay. What better than to wake up in a morning with no other sound than the birds singing and lambs bleating? Pure tranquility. Everything top quality and as ever, a very warm welcome from Julie and Stephen. This is a truly amazing place.

A wonderful place to stay and a great base to explore the local area. Accomodation was extremely comfortable and the hosts have thought of everything to make the stay memorable. Would highly recommend. Plenty of lovely walks within close proximity, most of which happen to cross paths with a pub or two... A real home from home, and we will definitely be back!

We stayed here for our honeymoon, and it was an amazing place the views where breathtaking and the cottage it's self well we couldn't have asked for anything more. Julie and Steven where great any nothing was too much trouble very friendly and welcoming. Had a lovely welcoming hamper which was very nice. Each room was so well done and was so clean. The log burner was a real treat to come back to after a long day out walking. Fabulous walks right outside the door. Well definitely book again, can't wait to come back!

From initial inquiry to checkout, communications with Julie were always prompt. The accommodation is as good as, if not better, than the pictures portray. The location was perfect with many walking options available at your door step or sights to visit within an easy drive away.

The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable - we very much enjoyed our stay at Howgills Barn. Fully equipped and with all the extras so we didn't have to think about bringing everything with us (fire lighters, kindling, matches, DVDs, milk, butter, tea towels etc). Plus the little luxuries made for a great few days.

We have stayed many times at Mill House and always enjoyed a wonderful relaxed time there. Howgills Barn is extremely comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The log fire is so cosy now that the evenings are drawing in and it is getting colder. One of the greatest pleasures is being able to walk straight out of the cottage and enjoy wonderful walks. The area is so beautiful and un-spoilt, we prefer it to the crowded Lakes! We very much look forward to coming again. Thank you Julie and Stephen.

I'll start by saying that I have a terrible habit of reading reviews for everything!! I had read reviews about here and all were really positive, so I booked. I'm so glad I did!
Just stayed in Howgills for a week with my husband and son (a wheelchair user). The location is quite remote but this was made clear to us on booking and really wasn't a problem. The barn was spacious enough to accommodate the wheelchair which was great.
The nearest village is about 5 minutes away and we had a meal in the pub there, it wasn't a fancy gastro place but we enjoyed our meals.
The local town Kirby Lonsdale, a 10/15 minute drive, is quaint and beautiful. It has a decent supermarket, some lovely little shops and we had another good meal in The Red Lion. If you park at Devils Bridge there's a great walk along the river that leads into town. There is also a great spot called 'Ruskins View'
My only downside was that the weather was too good sadly to light the log fire and the steps at the front could be a problem for other wheelchair users. We bumped it down and lifted it up.
Overall great accommodation in a gorgeous setting with beautiful views!

An absolutely beautiful cottage in a stunning location with lovely views. Extremely well equipped and furnished to a very high standard. Luxurious bathrooms with sumptuous white robes to snuggle in by the log fire. The most comfortable beds for a restful nights sleep after long walks in the surrounding countryside.

Excellent service was received from housekeeper, Sarah, at midnight on the night we lost power due to hot air balloon taking out a power line. A fresh supply of candles and matches provided a different ambiance to that expected but hey we enjoyed the experience and had a good holiday as ever.

This is our third stay in Howgills Barn and each time it exceeds expectations as we discover something new and different in this beautiful area.
We did more local walks during this stay and really enjoyed dining out at The Highwayman, The Sun Inn and The Barbon.
The cottage is extremely well equipped with TVs in both bedrooms. The walk in wet rooms are so luxurious and we just love the log burner, which along with underfloor heating kept us very cosy during our visit. Having our own private laundry and drying room was a bonus when drying out walking gear. Can't wait to come back!

Julie Bolton replied more than 1 year ago
Many thanks for taking the time to review your stay. I have emailed you directly to better understand your comments ref the private seating area. You have very kindly let me know that whilst we were away, a couple of members of the Team used your private seating area as a short cut! This is absolutely not acceptable and I will re-enforce that to the people concerned. As we discussed during your visit, the broadband is of a rural speed and whilst perfectly capable of sending emails and "googling", it isn't possible to download any big files. We have supplemented the land based broadband with satellite and BT tell me that they are well on their way to upgrading the line. Best Regards Julie

A beautiful cottage in a gorgeous location. Very isolated and if you are not a fan of driving on single track country lanes then access may be a problem for you. However, the drive is worth it because of the views and the peace & quiet. The cottage was very warm and comfortable with everything you need. Despite the location the Wi-fi was not bad either. Unfortunately we had awful weather but this just made the place more cosy!

We booked a stay at Howgills Barn after finding it on their website. The website is amazing & the
Barn looked superb. On arrival we were delighted to find that the Barn lived up to its description & totally exceeded our expectations. Everything is immaculate & of the highest standard. All rooms have been dressed in beautiful fabrics, lovely colours & fabulous furniture. The bathrooms are stunning. The extra touches like the Nespresso Coffee Machine in the kitchen shows how considerate Julie has been in planning every detail.

Julie & Stephen were warm & welcoming. They were extremely hospitable throughout our stay & treated us like family. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely people!

A truly wonderful place to stay. We are going back!

This was another fabulous stay, we have been in Mill Cottage a few times and now Howgills, it was just as expected and more, outstanding in all areas, comfort and quality with such styling, always a welcome basket to give you a sample of local goods. There is everything you need and with some special extras added makes your stay even more special. Wonderful, friendly and very welcoming cannot wait to book again. A perfect cottage sat in magnificent surroundings.
Thank you once again

Refer to earlier e-mail to owners. I can honestly say we've had a fabulous break in a simply wonderful property - thank you for letting us share your little bit of heaven if only for a few days. The opportunity to walk out of a lovely contemporary furnished home and straight up onto largely unknown fells amongst the deers was singularly unique in our experience (Paul loved the wilderness heading up towards Middleton Fell).

We'd love to keep Mill House Cottages a secret - but that's not good for business!

Everything about this property merits it's 5 star rating. It has the wow factor as soon as soon as you arrive in the drive. Once inside Howgill s Barn is even more impressive than the online pictures portray. Tastefully decorated throughout with modern furnishings and fittings. The welcome hamper was a beautiful touch and much appreciated. The toiletries were luxurious. A wonderful peaceful location and an ideal place to unwind and relax. Only down side was we d only booked for 4 nights and didn't want to leave.

We wanted a relaxing home from home cottage in a rural setting and that is exactly what we got. Situated at the top of a single track lane, surrounded by fields and amazing views makes this the perfect country retreat. You are warmly welcomed by the hosts in person and with a welcoming basket of goodies. The property is finished to a very high standard and the décor and furnishing are in extremely good taste. Large comfortable beds, large bathrooms with large showers and bath tubs. What more could you ask for? Thank you Stephen and Julie for making it a very relaxing and comfortable holiday.

We had a long journey so arriving to a beautiful, warm cottage was a relief. We had a lovely hamper of goodies which enabled us to have a drink before unloading the car (and something stronger for when we had unpacked).

The bedrooms and bathrooms were finished to a very high spec and the toiletries were gorgeous. The location was beautiful and thanks to the directions easy to find.

We had no need to light the pre-laid wood burning fire but it still made a good focal point. The decor was extremely tasteful and the kitchen fitted to a very high standard. It was a joy to return to after a days' sightseeing.

We will certainly recommend the cottage to our friends and colleagues.

Could ask for nothing more! Beautiful surroundings in an immaculate barn. We were pleasantly surprised by the modcons..... In fact better equipt than my own home! A wonderful addition was the welcome hamper which went above and beyond. Even when the weather wasn't with us we were comfortable in front of the log fire and TV. I couldn't recommend this place more highly and can't wait to return.

Such a lovely conversion of the barn, modern and bright.

Had a great stay watching the Olympics with feet up, log burner in full force, under floor heating so stone floor great to walk about on in stocking feet, gales were howling outside and no draughts at all.

I can fully recommend this place for a get away from it all vacation.

The welcome basket was well stocked, towels & bathrobes fluffy, good wifi, Vodafone & O2 reception.
For those concerned that dogs are allowed in the barn, there were no dog hairs to be found, not even under the sofa, I had to move sofa to get my dogs chew stick out from under it and there were no dust bunnies :-)

Window down to the floor meant the dog had a great view watching the sheep so she was happy.




A touch of luxury between the Lakes and Dales.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Howgills Barn. On arrival we were greeted with a food hamper that contained just about everything that we might need, including a bottle of very good red wine, which we drank with enthusiasm. The barn itself was beautifully decorated in sympathy with its unique character. Everything was of the highest standard and quality; the showers, wet rooms, furnishings and culinary items.
The crowning glory of this barn is its wonderfully secluded situation yet proximity to Keswick, Kirby Lonsdale and Ruskins View.

My girlfriend and I have just returned from a fantastic three night stay in Howgills Barn and we want to go back already! The barn is lovingly decorated in a modern and luxurious style with some fantastic little touches including the free standing bath, walk in shower, arrival hamper and ready made fire. The walk up the fell at the rear of the property is more of a challenge than it looks but the peacefulness and starry skies at night are certainly worth it.

I'd can't recommend this property enough. Please stay here - you'll love it!

James (and Emma)

I booked this beautiful cottage for my husband's birthday and it was worth every penny. It offers premium quality comfort, we absolutely loved every minute and couldn't fault a thing. It's very spacious, I loved the huge bath in my en-suite and the underfloor heating. The kitchen is equipped with the latest modern conveniences, which was ideal as i love cooking a feast. The log fire was excellent it heated the cottage instantly and we also enjoyed toasting our marshmallows on it. We stay in cottages every year and I can honestly say hand on heart that this was by far the best we have ever booked, 5star premium quality. We are already looking to book our next stay with millhouse cottages and we can't wait ;) I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a high quality premium service in a great location with amazing views, you will not be disappointed!



First Class as always.

We continue to come to both Howgills Barn & The Paddock as they "tick all our boxes". These are the best self catering cottages we have ever used. Stephen & Julie are excellent hosts.



Lovely Break

Howgills Barn is beautiful, cosy and welcoming, with every possible need already thought of and provided. Good wifi too!
A very easy booking process, Julie was very accommodating and helpful. Would recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful break, within reach of amenities. Kirkby Lonsdale is a very pretty little market town and provides local shopping. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.



Wonderful

Couldn't have asked for a nicer break. Cottage was in excellent condition. We were felt very welcomed. Very nice countryside around and Kirkby Lonsdale was a lovely little town to visit. Kids loved their stay as well
