Excellent stay at Gill Beck Barn, Christine was friendly, helpful and very responsive – offering extensive and thorough information before our arrival too. The barn was spotless, the welcome hamper was delightful and the welcome pup hamper was an extra special touch. It really is a dog friendly space with enclosed garden – our dogs LOVED nothing more than running around playing with their toys! The barn itself is well equipped and Christine has really thought of everything, we especially enjoyed cooking on the aga and the BBQ! Bathroom products are lovely! And locally produced. Everything is easily accessible by car – with some lovely local produce shops about 15 minutes away (Cranstons is worth a visit!) We also followed some of Christine’s recommendations and visited the old village bakery and the shepherds inn – both excellent. We will definitely stay with Christine again and are already thinking about our next trip! Thank you!!

Absolutely superb find. 6 adults 2 babies and 5 dogs. The barn was perfect in every way. Pub and Village Bakery highly recommend. Short drive into Penrith where all major supermarkets and small shops to buy everything you need. I cannot recommend this property enough. Thank you for a lovely stay

The place is wonderful! The host has thought of everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible (the basket of local produce was phenomenal). The property is spacious but cosy and comfortable throughout with all the facilities and utensils you’d need. Looking out over fells, watching lambs jump about whilst cooking breakfast on the Aga was pretty much the quintessential experience I’d hoped for, and this property delivered!

We had a fantastic stay. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly peaceful. The perfect place to relax and unwind. The location was ideal, with everything we needed close by while still feeling quiet and private. Christine was excellent – friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. You can really tell she cares about creating a great experience for guests. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and tranquil stay in a great location. We would definitely come back!

Amazing barn conversion, done to the highest standard. High quality, generous and delicious welcome pack. Host was incredibly helpful and extremely responsive. Overall, a beautiful place to stay, would highly recommend.

Gill Beck Barn was perfect for our hiking base. The beds were super comfy and the showers could not be better – powerful and limitless hot water. Christine is a very generous host, supplying all the firewood you need and an excellent welcome hamper. The open plan living/dining/kitchen area was a perfect space to unwind in after a day out in the countryside.

We stayed here over Christmas and was lovely. The house is such a great place for family to get together and spend time with each other. We walked everyday from the door step and it was so peaceful and quiet. Lovely little pub down the road with great home cooked food. Christine was a great host and we loved the welcome hamper was a really thoughtful touch. If we come to Cumbria again we will definitely stay here.

We enjoyed a lovely 3 night stay in this beautiful property. It had absolutely everything we needed with lovely little touches to make it a fabulous break. We will definitely return again soon. Thank you so much.

Great host and great place to stay.

6 of us + dogs stayed here for a long weekend. Simply the best holiday home we have ever stayed in!
Everything had been thought of. Super comfortable and warm. Highly recommended.
