We loved our stay here. The Haystore feels spacious, the mezzanine was perfect for my teenager to retreat to of an evening. Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed. Comfortable beds, well quipped kitchen, great showers and baths and a nice big TV. Perfect for the dogs too.

We were so lucky with the weather while we were there in October and and enjoyed some gorgeous sunny autumn walks to Cautley Spout and the Ravenstonedale to Smardale Viaduct circular. We ate out at the Fat Lamb and The King's Head. The Black Swan looked good too, very fancy, but we didn't make it there this time.

I enjoyed getting up to lovely views and looking for red squirrels. I would definitely return.

Thanks Lucy :). We are delighted that you loved your stay with us and your son enjoyed his hang out space too. Plus it sounds like the doggo's had fun too. Nothing better than autumn walks. Hope to see you again here at The Green Cumbria. Many thanks; Richard & Carly.

A fantastic property

My wife and I stayed in the Haystore for a week and loved everything about it. This is a top quality property, tastefully decorated and furnished to a very high standard, spotlessly clean and provides everything you could possibly need and more. The location is also perfect and within easy walking distance of two lovely pubs in Ravenstonedale. We also appreciated the welcome basket of goodies left by Carly, a nice touch.

The Haystore is an excellent holiday property in a stunning rural location. The property its self has been furnished and kitted out with all the items you would need for a relaxing holiday. The property and location is perfect for your dogs.
The area has some great locations to visit and a number of good places to eat out.
We will certainly be making a return visit.

I recently booked all 3 properties at The Green for my 50th birthday. The standard of all them is off the charts. I’ve stayed in plenty of holiday lets, but the thought that has gone into equipping these is next level. Could not have wanted more and were even given a lift to the station when taxis proved to be an issue.

11/10 on all fronts

We had a great stay occupying both the Haystore and the Byre. Beautiful property with beautiful surroundings despite the ever changing weather. We enjoyed adventurous dogs walks, the local pubs for evening meals and our swimrun event on Windermere. Thanks Carly, we love the place and will go on to recommend.

Where do I start! The Green is absolutely gorgeous and The Haystore is a fabulous cottage - photos really don’t do it justice! The main bed was large and comfy, the shower was lovely and the sofa in the living area was the most comfortable sofa I’d ever sat on! We also loved the snug area on the mezzanine.

Richard and Carly have really thought of everything, the house is well equipped with everything you need and the little touch of a welcome gift of wine, crisps, chocolate and sourdough from local suppliers was really lovely. They were also super helpful with queries we had and communication was great. My family also stayed in the Carthouse and loved it too.

The location is great, not too far away from various pubs and small towns, but secluded enough for complete peace and quiet - we came home super relaxed. We loved evening walks down to The Black Swan pub especially through all of the sheep!

We really had the most wonderful time - I would recommend the Green to anyone!

Have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Byre and Haystore. We were 2 families of 4 and the accommodation was perfect! Plenty of space, inside and out, and one of the best equipped and most tasteful holiday homes we've ever stayed at! Beautiful walks, two pubs within walking distance and hosts on hand if needed. Would highly recommend

We loved our recent stay and despite the weather being rainy we all looked forward to returning to the luxury of The Haystore each day. Every detail has been carefully thought of from a delicious welcome pack of treats to dressing gowns in the bathrooms, underfloor heating and even accessories for an evening of stargazing! We had the most beautiful views across the Howgill Fells and even spotted some red squirrels in the garden. There are so many different walks straight from the door of the Haystore and we hope to return one day to do some more exploring. Thank you for such a lovely week, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

We loved our stay at the Haystore! It’s such beautiful accommodation. Really unusual to find a place with so much care and attention taken to the interior design. It makes it a very relaxing and luxurious place to stay. The welcome basket was gorgeous and the provisions very considerate (e.g. picnic supplies, herbs and spices, binoculars, etc.). Thanks so much!

We had a really lovely break staying at The Haystore.
Everything was really well thought out to make you feel on holiday but also at home.
The location was great for us to explore the area & the walk to the two pubs in the village each evening for dinner was was a nice way to finish each day.
Thank you Carly & Richard for your hospitality.

Upon arriving at the Haystore we felt instantly relaxed. Everything is thought of and therefore you switch straight into holiday mode without wasting a second. The guide we received in advance gave us so much information that we felt like we knew our holiday before we arrived. It is far enough away from the tourist areas that you can relax but close enough to access many wonderful places. Thank you for an incredible break.

We usually stay in cottages in England for our summer holiday. This is easily the nicest we have ever stayed in. The cottage felt like the interior of a home decor magazine. It was comfortable, spacious but also intimate. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything you would want. The area was a bit of an unknown for us. It is the bit of Cumbria that once upon a time was called Westmoreland. The Howgills are on your doorstep with plenty of opportunities for walking. The local village of Ravenstonedale is close by (took us about 25 mins to walk to the pubs). There are 3 pubs in walking distance, two in Ravenstonedale, one the other was on the road to Sedbergh. Each is very different, but good. Kirkby Stephen is a short drive away. We really liked it. It has a decent sized Co-Op for general shopping, but quite a few coffee shops and other shops selling local produce and walking gear. It felt very authentic (as opposed to Kirkby Lonsdale, which is far more touristy). The local scenery surprised us with how good it was. We wondered if it was just high moor, or if it was undulating and interesting? We needn't have worried. It was fascinating and relatively uncrowded. Despite some unseasonably wet days, we had a wonderful week and really recommend this cottage for a stay.

We chose to stay at The Green as my grandparents owned this property many years ago. To return there after more than 35 years was beautiful and so nice to see how our grandparents old hay store had been transformed into 3 breath-taking cottages with such attention to detail inside and out.
The hosts were so kind and friendly and spent time listening and talking to us about the house and the cottages, it was truly heart warming and so lovely to know that this property is owned by people that love it dearly and care so much about its past and present whilst ensuring it is environmentally friendly throughout.
Whilst we were there we saw the fell ponies, red squirrels which made it even more special.
We look forward to visiting again in the future *****

Our 7th stay in The Haystore, and our 8th in total at The Green. It's therefore pretty clear we're very satisfied customers. The Haystore is a really lovely comfortable place to stay, beautifully laid out, fitted out and maintained, and in a lovely quiet location. The village of Ravenstonedale is completely unspoilt. There are lots of good walks in the area, including directly from The Green. The property is dog friendly which is the reason we first chose it. It's in a lovely area without the density of visitors that fill the Lakes to the west and the Dales to the east, both of which are easily accessible by car from Ravenstonedale. We look forward to returning next year.

Location was great, no light pollution so star gazing was amazing. Great walking straight from the accommodation.
Three local pubs in walking distance, all offering very good food, especially the Black Swan.

Highly recommend The Green Cumbria and will be looking to book again

We had a large family holiday here over the easter period, booking all three properties available. 11 people and 3 dogs in total. The hosts were fantastic, really helpful via email and text leading up to and throughout the stay. All 3 properties are beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable, and really well equipped with lots of thoughtful extras and a fantastic welcome pack provided by hosts. The surrounding area is so beautiful, with loads of walks and different activities to do. I would definitely recommend a stay here and can’t wait to go back for another visit.

We had a great weekend in Haystore - it was perfect for two couples (we think families would love it too as kids would adore the mezzanine snug). Excellent information prior to arrival - finding the property was easy and we knew what was included in the kitchen beforehand (great info on their Touch Stay app) so didn't have to bring loads of kitchen stuff with us. The living area was superb - gorgeous sofa and log burner made for lovely evenings. The kitchen and dining area were superb - everything had been thought of and it was better than home (unusual for lots of self catering properties that we've been too). Gorgeous crockery and settings made meals a lovely occasion. The outdoor space was great for al fresco coffees and the layout of bedrooms etc worked really well.

We went on walks straight from the door (Smardale Viaducts on this occasion) and we'll definitely be back for walking and cycling in the area. Great also to be able to walk to Ravenstonedale for a stunning Sunday lunch at The Black Swan. Perfect!

The Haystore is a beautiful, cosy, modern space, where attention to detail is above and beyond! And that is after the lovely welcome basket of local produce. The pastoral setting is perfect for hill and lower walks straight from the door. Easy 20 min amble to the nearest village. Richard and Carly are excellent hosts and provide a wealth of advance information to help your stay.
We (4 friends) thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at The Haystore and cannot recommend it enough!

We stayed at the Haystore over the New year weekend with another couple and 2 small dogs and what a lovely place to stay. On arrival Carly and Richard had left a fantastic welcome box filled with goodies including bread, butter, milk! The accommodation is very clean and well equipped for self catering as we had our new years day roast dinner there and was like home from home. The bedrooms were lovely and very comfortable. The outside space I imagine in the summer would be well utilised and it is secure for the dogs. The surrounding area is beautiful and the village is very quaint and is about a 20 min walk but has 2 lovely pubs. We would definitely be booking again and would highly recommend for a holiday!

Richard and Carly are the most wonderful hosts, not just in the weekend itself but the many months leading up. They were incredibly helpful responding to any queries we had, they even helped us to plan a meal the night before our wedding in the local pub. Nothing was too much trouble.
The houses are beautifully renovated and The location is idyllic. It was the most perfect place for our family to stay for a long weekend.
We are so thankful we found The Green and hope to return again in the future.

A delightful barn conversion with easy access to both The Lakes (around 50 mins away) and the Yorkshire Dales. A very good local pub too (Black Swan). Would not recommend the other pub in the village.

Richard & Carly have taken enormous care to ensure guests are comfortable and there are so many thoughtful touches.

Loved my stay!

Classy country accommodation in a great spot at the foot of Howgill Fell. Not only is there brilliant walking from the doorstep but owner Richard also leads walks. He’s happy to take guests on half-day rambles, on full day navigation courses or even on expeditions up the three peaks. It’s a year round destination with underfloor heating and logs for a wood-burner.

Richard and Carly have a large barn conversion across the yard from their farmhouse. the barn is split into 3 beautiful properties, and the walls are thick so you feel secure and almost detached. You dont need to take anything, just personal items, and wet weathere gear to enjoy the ladscape.The properties have everything you need to relax in and its home from home. Beds were very comfortable, lovely patio area for eating outside when the sun shines. Welcome pack was amazing and I ordered some flowers and gin, both turned out to be very special. Local pubs were great, idle location for the hills, for walking and biking.
I am a mountain biker, so cycle rack to secure your bike too, hose and other equipement to clean it, if you dont have your own.
Look out for the red squirrel/s the woodpecker, the goldfinches, bull finches and other small birds I could not identify.
Overall everything is positive, but I will shut up now as the list is exhausting.
Yes , we were delighted we had chosen and booked the Haystore.

I can highly recommend The Green. My daughter and I loved our weeks stay in the Haystore apartment. The property is in the middle of the countryside but still an easy walk to the 2 local pubs. The accommodation is beautiful with so many much appreciated small touches, we especially appreciated the app that was sent to us, plus information on local walks and the welcome pack on arrival. The positioning of the Green meant that we could be at the Lake District in an hour, but could really enjoy the local villages and Fells in Cumbria. Also the best beds to sleep in. Look forward to the next opportunity to return

Sadly we only stayed for a long weekend this time. It was however absolutely wonderful - the best possible place to be to celebrate a major life milestone. Our stay was made even better by fabulous weather. We have been spending holidays here for quite a few years and will continue to do so. A big plus for us is that it's dog friendly. The Haystore itself is incredibly comfortable and well equipped, and is in a lovely location away from the more touristy areas. That said the Dales and the Lakes are within easy reach, though there are great walks nearby and from the barn itself. The owners are very helpful indeed.

Stunning setting and well planned accomodation. Superbly equipped.
My only negative comment is about the bed being a little too hard for us but that is personal preference.

The accommodation and location were excellent! I stayed with walking friends at Haystore and we were all impressed by the comfort and cleanliness of our cottage. Such a privilege to stay in an Eco cottage and have luxury eco toiletries provided.
Such a lovely touch to have a welcome basket of sourdough bread, butter, jam and milk and soft drinks.
I was impressed by the good amount and range of cooking equipment, beautiful Denby crockery and plenty of glasses.
Thank you so much. We all loved our stay and would be happy to return.

We had stayed here when they were Green Barn Cottages; now under new management a breath of fresh air has been breathed into the barns and they are just lovely.

Warm and welcoming and especially great if you are bringing your furry friends with you.

New soft furnishings that really make a difference, comfortable sofas, wonderful big beds and well stocked kitchen - with sharp knives which make such a difference !! - and the Welcome Basket is a lovely touch.

The barns are in a great location on the Howgill Fells meaning you can strike out on foot to cover hundreds of miles of walks - some easy and some that will challenge even experienced walkers.

I don’t want to recommend them because the solitude is blissful BUT you will not he disappointed if you stay - it’s a wonderful place and we shall be back for sure.

The Carthouse is part of a huge old barn that has been completely gutted and refurbished to a very high standard while still maintaining a charming echo of its rustic past. Bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms are furnished and decorated beautifully with everything you could possibly need to hand as well as countless thoughful additions and finishing touches.

The setting, in the Howgill fells of Cumbria, is to my mind the most beautiful spot in the country. There are expansive hills and valleys for the kind of walking that reminds you what is is to be alive; countless becks (small rivers) and picnic spots where children can play endlessly paddling, making dams, fishing for tiddlers or if you're small, just throwing stones into the water.

The local village, Ravenstonedale is a great place with two good pubs, a lovely old church and plenty of friendly locals.

I came to the Green with my extended family so we took all three of the properties (the Carthouse, Haystore and Byre) and had a magical time throughout our stay. For this reason I have duplicated this review for all three places but I know I speak for all 13 of us when I say that despite being seasoned travellers, (with more than a couple of centuries experience between us), we have never stayed anywhere better.

What can I say, the pictures on the website don't do this property justice at all, its absolutely beautiful and that isn't even mentioning the attention to detail, shower gel, robes, kitchen utensils, they thought of everything.

I was a bit unsure bringing two teenage boys on how I would keep them amused at night time, I needn't have worried, between spotify and the games etc, really made our family nights with the fire lite.

I have already been on the website to see when I can book to come back again, so much to do in the area.

Thank you Richard, Carly and boys, it was just what the doctor ordered after a long 12 months xx

We visited as a family of four together with our dog. This is quite simply wonderful accommodation. Spotlessly clean and very stylish. The accommodation is furnished in such a way that you immediately feel relaxed, peaceful and at home. I usually struggle to sleep in holiday accommodation but not this time. The beds are extremely comfortable. The owners have thought of everything and more, recommendations on where to eat, visit and walk, maps of the area, numerous board games, dog bed with towels and shampoo... the list goes on. I would highly recommend the accommodation. We will definitely be back.

We have been fairly frequent visitors to the Haystore over the last 7 years, and this time enjoyed seeing the changes and attention to detail introduced under Carly & Richard's ownership. We had wonderful weather, and went on a number of lovely walks from the Haystore, as well as venturing a little further afield. As ever, the meals we had at the village pubs were excellent too. It really is an extremely comfortable and luxurious place to stay, not far from the much busier Lakes and Dales, and we look forward to returning again next year. We wish Carly & Richard every success.

This was our 5th stay at Green Barn and the first since the new owners took over.

Even this early, Carly & Richard have placed their own stamp on this stunning location and enhanced its reputation as a 'home from home'.

Our new addition to the family, a German Shepherd also thoroughly enjoyed the space and walks!

We have already booked for next year in what I am sure will become an Annual fixture in the calendar.
