Claire
high quality barn conversion accommodation. Very well equipped and comfortable. Delightful open plan top floor living/dining space with views.
Michael
Wonderful setting for a wonderful cottage.
Tony
Knipe Fold Barn is a beautiful and luxurious home from home. The location is quiet but close enough to the amenities at Hawkshead. The views from the bedrooms and lounge/diner are amazing! The bedrooms were clean and very comfortable and the fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed. There is off-road parking for 3 cars and plenty of space inside and outside for a dog to explore. Overall Knipe Fold Barn is a wonderful place to stay.
Ryan
A beautifully finished cottage, with plenty of space in the open plan top floor. Lots of character in the building and the furnishings & fittings. Well located to visit lots of places in the Lakes, and in a very quiet location. Only downside is that the garden is across the road for the dogs to use. Would definitely consider returning.
Karen
Excellent, well-equipped property with views to die for. So comfortable and in a great location, with Hawkshead and Tarn Hows right on the doorstep. Also, great to have three bathrooms and parking for two cars. Will definitely return :)
Sara
Very comfortable and well equipped cottage, immaculately clean. In a beautiful location, with views across the valley, dozens of little lambs in the fields and swallows swooping around - idyllic!
