Ideal base to enjoy the Northern Lakes
We loved everything about our stay at Sheepfold Barn. Lovely accommodation, worked well for three couples. Beautiful setting, private and secluded but didn’t feel isolated. So nice to have a little walk from the doorstep for early morning and evening strolls watching the hares and lambs and birds, and enjoying the far reaching views. Good location for exploring the Northern lakes, no long drives needed and every journey full of delightful scenery. Would love to return for another stay.

Lovely ,uninterrupted break in a beautiful setting
We are just recently back from a long weekend at the Sheepfold Barn and would return in a heartbeat. Place is spacious, with ample of daylight, peaceful ,modern and in such a quiet location, that you will struggle to match it if that is what you are looking for. House has everything you need , for washing things (plates or clothes), cooking to hot tub to enjoy the lovely frosty mornings ( in our case) .Looots of parking space. There was only 6 of us ,but I believe the house sleeps 8 max and even then there would be plenty of space for everyone.Comfy beds. Staff were also super helpful prior to our arrival with some of the questions we had. 10 out of 10 .

The house is beautiful & everyone walked away wanting all of the features in the kitchen!
8 of us stayed, beds were really comfortable, heating was comfortable, hot tub & scenery amazing. Little pub nearby for Sunday lunch was lovely.
Small niggles - the table doesn’t comfortably fit 8 people on (which is such a shame as meals with those views were amazing!) and everyone can’t really watch the TV together in the living room as the tv is behind one of the sofas & comfortably only fits 6-7 people (so we didn’t spend much time in the living room). Could do with a little bit of maintenance as a few things were looking tired/used & high ceilings need the cobwebs cleaning! Oh and hangers outside hot tub for dressing gowns/towels!
Overall we had a lovely time, it was remote & peaceful which is what we wanted.
A beautiful house in a wonderful location. The listing mentioned a fireplace but there wasn’t a fire in the property which was disappointing but didn’t detract from a lovely stay.
