Mr Steve Sharpe
We've been renting cottages in the Lakes for 20 years but this is the first we've rebooked before leaving. The location really works as it's peaceful but only a short ride from all the busy spots. Great quality and attention to detail in the property and really ideal for the dogs who had the ground floor to themselves. Can't wait to go back!

We really enjoyed this barn conversion and particularly the quiet location with beautiful views and lovely walks straight from the door. Very reluctant to leave.

After a very disrupted and long journey from the South on Saturday, it was such a relief to arrive at Knipefold Barn , thanks to the excellent directions we found it at the first attempt. Wow ! What an amazing place ! Everything we could wish for; spotlessly clean, beautifully and intelligently designed and thoughtfully equipped - a real home from home ! Having let out our own holiday home in SW France for several years, we fully appreciate the hard work involved in preparing and maintaining a high-end property for clients, who vary between taking care of and having respect for your property to sadly, the other end of the scale ! We are of the former variety ! We have only been here one night so far but already looking forward to coming back at some point !
