We had a lovely last minute break arrived on the Monday and struggled to find anywhere to eat as eve
We had a lovely last minute break arrived on the Monday and struggled to find anywhere to eat as everywhere pretty much closed. Lovely new barn conversion. Good luck with future rentals it's a lovely quiet place not too far to drive to Keswick. Thanks for the stay.
Pickles Barn is a well appointed barn conversion which was clean and well maintained. It had everything we needed for our stay. It is situated in a very quiet village about 30mins drive from Keswick and an hours drive from Ambleside.
