Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
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.

The perfect weekend with friends

Sheepfold Barn was the perfect location for my weekend with friends! It's rural location gave us the peace we all wanted and privacy to use the hot tub without concerns about people looking. It is located at the end of farm track but despite the recent wet weather it wasn't too muddy and was easy to navigate. It's interiors are to die for and the house is well stocked with everything you could need, we all came away wishing we could live there full time! Only issue was the heating wasn't working while we were there, which took us a bit of time to work out as the house was cosy when we came in but quickly cooled. There were multiple electric and oil heaters provided, it just would have been good to know that in advance so we didn't need to figure it out for ourselves. We also had a slight issue with hot water (it is an immersion system rather than a combi boiler system that the wording of the handbook suggests, so we had simply used all the hot water) but they were easy to contact and sent someone to look at it within the hour. I would recommend Sheepfold Barn to others and I suspect I may be back myself!

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 .

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.

Sheepfold

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.

Beautiful house stunning surroundings

We recently stayed at this property and overall had mixed feelings about our experience. Firstly, the location is absolutely beautiful, and the property itself is gorgeous. It’s set in a stunning area and really feels special when you arrive. The quality of the bed sheets and towels was excellent — everything felt fresh, soft, and luxurious, which we really appreciated. However, there were several issues that significantly impacted our stay. We were not informed prior to arrival that the heating was broken. Although plug-in heaters were provided, this was far from ideal — especially as we were travelling with our three-year-old child. It didn’t feel safe to leave portable heaters on overnight in their room, which meant the house was uncomfortably cold at times. To make matters worse, we had paid extra for early access to the property, yet when we arrived there was a heating engineer still there working. This was frustrating and not what we expected when paying for early check-in. Cleanliness was also a major letdown. While it was clear that the bedding and towels had been changed, the rest of the house had not been cleaned to the same standard. The floors were very dirty, the kitchen counters were unclean, and the oven was also dirty. I ended up having to clean the floors and kitchen surfaces myself, which is not something you expect when staying in a property like this. It’s such a shame because the house itself and the location are truly lovely. Unfortunately, the lack of communication about the heating and the poor standard of cleanliness really let the property down. With better maintenance, transparency, and a thorough clean, this could be an exceptional place to stay.
