  • "Strong smell of wet dog on entering property, sofa covered in dog hairs, tv did not work, pillows were disgustingly filthy with stains and hairs."

    Outside looked like a building site ! No one to contact for assistance. So bad we left and booked elsewhere, there was no way we could sleep there. Contacted Sykes for a refund and was told my contract was with owners! Had no contact whatsoever from them so would not recommend Sykes or Dove Tail Barn !

    We are sorry to read this. The owners would have had the property cleaned again for you on arrival but were not made aware until later in the week that you had left. The property is cleaned to a high standard. The one stained pillow was in a cupboard and not in the bed and has been thrown away . The garage was having no work going on during your stay but unfortunately you left so were unaware of that. Any problems would have been instantly rectified if they had been brought to the attention upon arrival. Property Owner

The property

This chic and unique couples' hideaway takes the form of a converted Lakeland barn, nestled in rural bliss and overlooking the lush Lyth Valley. A long driveway leads to the barn, with parking by the log store.

Enter via the stylish kitchen, with slate floor, matching slate worktops and everything you'll need for dining in.

The lounge / dining room incorporates the barn door, with deep-cushioned furnishings, rug and woodburning stove.

The Villeroy & Bosch luxury wet room is on this floor.

Upstairs to the romantic double bedroom, with a magnificent Scandinavian king-size bed, sky lights and mood lighting.

Natural Cedar Hot Tub for 2 people.

Bathe in a solid cedar tub and enjoy the calming experience whilst taking in stunning views towards Gummers How.

The natural aroma of cedar in this tranquil setting is a treat for all nature lovers.

The cedar tub is wood fired and takes up to 2 hours to reach bathing temperature.

Bags of Kiln dried logs are stored next to the tub at the cost of £10.00 per bag.

The Lyth Valley is to the east of Lake Windermere, overlooked by the famous Lake District walks on Scout Scar and Whitbarrow Scar.

The sheltered valley is famous for its damson orchards, with gorgeous white blossom in spring.

The landscapes are scattered with country homes and rural Lake District cottages, as well as a choice of several acclaimed Lake District country pubs, such as The Punch Bowl at Crosthwaite, the Black Labrador at Underbarrow, and the Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank.

A romantic walk nearby is the ascent of Gummers How, which offers simply wonderful views of Lake Windermere from the top.

The Cartmel Fell tarns walk is also a lovely afternoon's worth, starting at Bowland Bridge's historic church.

Away from the busier areas, but still only 20 minutes’ drive from Bowness, you'll find complete tranquillity and relaxation in the lap of luxury.

Please note: We are happy to accept well behaved pets, however if any damage is caused there may be additional cleaning charges which will be taken from the good housekeeping bond

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

UNDERBARROW

Kendal 5 miles; Windermere 7.5 miles.

Underbarrow is a quiet, pretty Lakeland village close to the historic market town of Kendal and within reach of the wonderful Lake Windermere. The village has a pub and is ideally placed for exploring southern Lakeland and the Lake District National Park. Sizergh Castle and Levens Hall, both with fine gardens, are nearby, and Kendal has much to offer in terms of shopping and is quite lively culturally, thanks to the Brewery Arts Centre and the Abbot Hall Art Gallery and Museum, which is widely recognised as one of the best in the region. Also worth a visit is the ruin of Kendal Castle, which was formerly the home of Katherine Parr, and there’s plenty to see and do with Grange-over-Sands, Cartmel, Ulverton, Bowness, Ambleside and even the Yorkshire Dales National Park within driving distance. Underbarrow is a lovely base for exploring the area.
