Stone Barn Cottage is situated on a working farm along with two other holiday properties, set in 400 acres of picture perfect countryside. Nestled just outside the Lake District National Park hot spots of Windermere and Bowness, in the popular village of Ings. The farm itself dates back over 400 years and is still a working farm today. The outstanding setting allows for walkers of all abilities to find routes from the doorstep. A much enjoyed route in fair weather is the ½-mile stroll over the field track to the popular Watermill Inn and Brewery at Ings which brews its own beer. The village of Staveley is close by. This is also a popular area for cyclists with plentiful routes, as challenging as required and always offer outstanding scenery. Guests wanting to enjoy the mix of facilities available in Windermere and Bowness will not be disappointed. Independent retailers, pavement cafés and wine bars sit close by stunning Lake Windermere. Steamer rides along the lake offer a relaxing way in which to take in the views of this picturesque area.
Stone Barn Cottage is an attached barn conversion, ideal for couples, friends and smaller families looking to enjoy this special location. Furnished to a high standard with slate floors, Herdwick wool carpeting, internal stone walls and a bespoke pine kitchen give the cottage a charm and character befitting to the location. There is a cosy wood burner in the open plan living area where guests can enjoy the huge picture window where the uninterrupted views of the Kentmere Valley can be enjoyed from the window seat. The cottage benefits from two charming double bedrooms – one conveniently on the ground floor along with a ground floor bathroom offering the luxury of a limestone composite floor and free standing bath.

3-Night Break March 2022

We had a 3-night stay here in March with my parents. The cottage is beautifully presented, with spacious rooms and wonderful views. We had a very slight issue with one of the smoke alarms, which was attended to immediately by George. Other than that, there were no issues. The owners were very friendly and were there if we needed them. Being on a working farm, you haven't got to worry about the cows maybe making an early start to their day, or the chickens coming for a look to see what you have if you're sitting outside, or the sheep and lambs sitting on the farm track when they have acres of field to sit on, but to us it was just a good laugh and no inconvenience at all. Ideally located beside the villages of Ings (The Watermill Inn is a must) and Staveley (The Eagle and Child, Hawkshead Brewery, and very good butcher), as well as being easy to reach the rest of the Lakes. We also had a look at their one-bedroom cottage and shepherd's hut, both of which looked excellent too. Highly recommended.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022

A really enjoyable break. A superb cottage, just far enough away from it all to be quiet and tranquil but close enough to easily reach all amenities and entertainment.

Beautifully done up spacious cottage with lovely views , great location near Windermere.

Beautifully done up spacious cottage with lovely views , great location near Windermere.Let down only by the cleaning and housekeeping for which I believe the owners are not directly responsible but pay the company managing the holiday let. The owners were made aware and responded approprately. Would happily go back to this beautiful cottage in its peaceful setting on a working farm.

Stone Barn Farm Cottage has the most amazing rural location overlooking the Kentmere Valley, yet conveniently is only a short distance from Windermere. The cottage is very well presented and the owners, Amanda and George, go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay. It’s a short walk to the local pub which is handy after a day out exploring the fells and lakes. We felt immediately at home in the cottage and would love to return in the near future. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage.

Lovely cottage. Beautifully converted and very snug. Great views across the valley. Some very friendly chickens for the children to chase and some great walks directly from the cottage including on the surrounding farm. Incredibly friendly and helpful owners next door. They left us some fresh eggs (from the friendly chickens), a homemade cake, a bottle of wine and even some cola for the children. And very helpful on things to do locally. Perfect all round.

The finding instruction were misleading as the nearest garage mentioned is BP and not Esso.

The finding instruction were misleading as the nearest garage mentioned is BP and not Esso. Also, the farm name is difficult to see from the road. ( we missed the turning completely). In the cottage there were no hooks in the porch to hang outdoor clothes. A tray for wet shoes or boots would also be helpful. An extra cupboard for storage of dry food would be useful. The owners were very frindly and helpful. Overall a nice place to stay.

The cottage is in a lovely and convenient position for the South Lakes and beyond.

The cottage is in a lovely and convenient position for the South Lakes and beyond. Lots of walks from the door. It is clear that a lot of thought has gone in to the conversion of the barn and it is very comfortable. Amanda and George, the owners, were friendly and helpful. They immediately replaced a couple of electrical items that had become faulty. Strongly recommend this cottage.

We have been staying at Stone Barn cottage once or twice a year for some time now.

We have been staying at Stone Barn cottage once or twice a year for some time now. Never have we had anything to complain about. It has become like our second home. Amanda and George Redmayne, the delightful owners have looked after us with perfect hospitality every time. The cottage is warm, beautifully designed and equipped . The views from the windows are gorgeous in all seasons. As it is a working farm there is always something interesting going on, but it is still a quiet and restful place to enjoy a holiday. Nearby there are two excellent places to eat and drink and a well stocked garage and shop and it is only a very short drive to Staveley a village with every facility one could need. Windermere and Kendal are only a short drive either way.
