We loved every minute of our weekend at Howgills barn celebrating my 60th birthday with friends, family and dogs
It is perfect in every way for a party, we enjoyed the beautiful location, the activities on the field, the games in the inside games room, the relaxing in the jacuzzi, the lovely surrounding walks , the fantastic facilities and the outside space
We all want to return again soon
Thank you for making my birthday so special x

A group of 23 really enjoyed our stay at Howgills barn. We loved the communal areas, outside hot tub area and the stunning location of Sedbergh. Some of the group were apprehensive about bunk beds but the beds were really comfy, the bedding was crisp white and we had en-suite facilities. The kitchen was so well equipped and thought had gone into so many little things (such as, a fantastic idea to have a tea and coffee area in the porch to save too many people trying to get into the compact kitchen!). We didn't even get chance to use the games room as the weather was great for walking and exploring the town - we will have to return!

What an incredible place! Me and my friends enjoyed 2 fabulous nights at the barn and everyone said they thought the place was epic. The remoteness and beautiful views make you feel like you're in your own little oasis. They have thought of everything and the whole place is set up to entertain a big crowd. We have made memories we will cherish forever and I would not hesitate to book again. The whole process was very easy and everyone I encountered or spoke to were very friendly. Thank you for an incredible time!

My friends and I came here for 2 nights for a chilled out stag do. The venue was perfect. Really clean, could host many guests with activities on site. I met the owners of the barn whilst on site and they were so warm and welcoming. Would gladly return in future!

My friends and I stayed at the Howgills Barn for four nights over New Year's. It was a wonderful stay and everyone said it was the best venue we have stayed in yet.
The best part about the accommodation was probably the variety of spaces. As well as the large living/dining space, there was also a cosy sofa room upstairs (where the downstairs noise couldn't be heard), and a games room downstairs. The large living/dining space had big tables that were good for playing games, as well as for meal times, plus there was a sofa section at the end, which felt like it provided an additional space for people to hang out in.
The two kitchens had all we needed and were well stocked with cooking equipment and crockery. Between them and the large additional drinks fridge, there was more than enough space for all of us to keep what we needed in the fridge. All the glasses we could need too, which was a real bonus.
Rooms were quite small, but all fairly quiet and removed from the social rooms, which was great.
Location was perfect. Walking distance to four or five pubs as well as to food shops. Plus we were able to set off on a big beautiful walk around the Howgills straight from the Barn.
It was a brilliant stay and I would highly recommend that others stay there.

Perfect accommodation for a large group of friends and their children.
We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Howgills Barn this week. The barn was ideal for our group and provided all the facilities we could have hoped for. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen facilities offered everything we needed and more. All the bedrooms being en-suite was a real bonus. Finally the terrace, bbq and hot tub really made our stay as we were blessed with glorious weather. With the stunning scenery we could have been anywhere in Europe- bliss! Hoping to return next year, a big thank you to Nigel and his family for looking after us…and sorry again about the Elaine Paige medley on the first night!

A long overdue weekend at Howgills
I’ve just returned from a fabulous weekend away at Howgills Bunk Barn. The trip with friends was long overdue after rescheduling due to COVID, but it was definitely worth the wait and didn’t disappoint. The bunk barn itself had been improved with a new and improved kitchen plus bedding and towels provided throughout. The new TV was a hit with the teens as they could watch Netflix and YouTube on it apparently. I preferred to sit outside soaking up the beautiful view chatting with friends. We had some great walks and the pubs in Sedbergh had great outdoor seating. We sampled both the Bull and the Dalesman. We also had a great take away curry from the Mango Tree in Kirkby Stephen. The hot tub was amazing and enjoyed by everyone. As we left a team turned up to give it a deep clean. Altogether just a fantastically normal weekend with friends. Just what we’ve all been waiting for. Thanks so much Nigel and team for providing such excellent facilities! Our kids say it’s their favourite holiday of the year and I’ve got to say I agree!

Perfect Stag House
Myself and my friends stayed here for 2 nights and we absolutely loved it. Every room had something going on and there was enough space to accomodate way more than the 17 of us who went. The cleanliness and upkeep of the barn was amazing and the outdoor area with the hot tub and bbq was fantastic. There are plenty of walks nearby up the two hills behind the barn and the town was not too far walk away either where there were shops and pubs ect. (15 mins). The table tennis arena is fantastic and the bedroom facilities are basic but nice and clean so we were also happy with this (best shower pressure ever btw). You can order am Asda or tesco shop directly to the barn as well so you can really relax and not worry about a thing. Thanks alot!

Long weekend at the Barn with family
We had a great long family weekend at Howgills Barn, with 17 of us, from grandparents and babies plus two dogs. The facilities were excellent - plenty of space for us all - and we enjoyed a fab time. Sedbergh is a lovely location. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended.

School residential
We took 27 children to the barn on a 3 day residential. The barn was spotless when we arrived! The staff could not have done anymore to make sure we had everything we needed on arrival. The location of the barn is awesome and perfect for any form of school trip. The outdoor meadow provides a great space for activities or just free play. Thank you so much to the staff at the barn for their great service once again.

Barn Stay
Prior to our visit, communication was excellent and a great service was provided to meet the needs for the duration of the stay. The barn’s facilities were superb, and the whole accommodation was very clean. Check in/out was incredibly easy and contact details were provided for any questions that we had during our time there. We were also provided contact details for a takeaway service which delivered some great food. The rooms with en-suite bathrooms were very comfortable and the separate upstairs lounge area was great to relax in. Thanks again for a fantastic weekend; I would certainly recommend and would love to book again in the future!

Great weekend all round
We had a great weekend celebrating and were initially surprised at how large the space was. At no point did we feel cramped or like there wasn't enough living space. We got one good night (no rain) and the outside space was lovely. I can imagine in summer this would be brilliant. The hot tub is also very big. The road up to the barn, if you're not used to country roads may be a bit jarring but for any confident driver, taking it slowly you'll be absolutely grand.
Great stay with great service from the team in the lead up and after.

Amazing stay in an amazing location
Upon arriving at the barn, felt welcome and everything was pretty much ready for us (a few minor things from previous people being dealt with but no issue for us at all). Rooms were made up and clean. Kitchen with plenty of facilities for a large party. Hot tub was amazing. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, you can walk straight out into the fells and Sedbergh is a quick walk away too. Thank you for an amazing stay, the whole package was perfect for what we needed.

Amazing stay, highly recommend
Howgills barn is amazing! We were a group of 34 celebrating my husbands 40th. Howgills was the perfect venue, great communal areas, rooms were perfect all with en suites, massive kitchens and even better a beer fridge, the hot tub was also amazing. The location was brilliant being only a short walk into sedbergh. Most importantly, the team at Howgills were brilliant, from the initial enquiry to Nigel, through to speaking to Amy & Dawn on what became almost a daily basis in the weeks running up to the surprise, no questions were too much bother for the team and they always responded so quickly and went out of their way to help us. This made our stay even more perfect and we all had such a brilliant time. I cannot recommend Howgills barn enough and we are already planning our next visit!
Thank you again Amy, Nigel & Dawn!

This was our second stay at Howgills barn and it certainly won't be our last.
As soon as we all arrived, it felt like we'd never left. We decided there and then that a trip to the barn is going to be our yearly get together from now on.
The barn itself is well laid out and the lounge and dining area fit all of us in comfortably. There are books to read and board games to play as well as a great music system to hook your phone up to. There is also a snug so you won't miss your favourite team playing or your favourite episode on the TV.
Bedrooms are all ensuite and beds are comfortable. The drying room is fab for putting your cozzies in after a soak in the hot tub. Kitchens (there are 2) are well equipped the patio area provides lots of seating space and bbq's which we actually used in January!
The location of the barn is fab with lots of walks/hikes on the doorstep and the village is only a 2 minute drive /10 minute stroll away.
The village offers lots of little shops, a number of pubs and a well stocked spar (poshest spar I've ever seen) as well as cafes, restaurants and a fab little takeaway.
I think the barn is perfect for a get together with friends or family and Nigel, Liz and the team do a great job.
Lookig forward to seeing you all next year.

A wonderful place for a group holiday.
A fabulous place to celebrate New Year. Very well equipped for cooking for a large group and comfortable bedrooms and living space. The separate TV room was great for the kids, as was the playing field and games room. Excellent walks from the door and close the village amenities. We’ll definitely be back!

Brilliant bunk barn
Cannot recommend this barn enough, it was absolutely perfect for our needs and we had a blast. We are a group of 7 families with kids and stayed over a weekend (Fri/ Sat nights). The accommodation and layout was perfect; the barn is really spacious and very comfortable, even for our group of 14 adults and 19 children! Plenty of room for everyone. The luxury of underfloor heating and hot tub sets it apart from other similar places we have stayed. It has all the facilities you need for group catering and brilliantly spacious drying/ laundry rooms. Great tv/ comfy room separate from the main living/ dining area, fab playroom with table tennis and lovely outdoor space with field, benches, bbqs etc. Easy walking distance of the picturesque town of Sedbergh and we had a trip out to the playground and on up to Howgill Fells ice cream farm, which was ace. Plenty of parking outside the property. Worth noting is that the access lane is quite narrow any anything much bigger than the large people carrier/ SUV type vehicles we had might struggle on the narrow bends. Very helpful/ friendly owners and an easy booking process. We loved everything about it, I’m sure we’ll be back!
