Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe Little Barn as spotlessly clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The property's location is celebrated for its fabulous views and great positioning, making it a tranquil and picturesque setting that guests love.
The property is generally considered comfortable with a warm atmosphere and well-equipped features. However, some guests found the furniture low and the pillows too large, which slightly affected their comfort.
Facilities are well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and powerful shower. However, concerns about the security of the fencing for pets and the positioning of the TV suggest room for improvement in maintenance.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the festive decorations and the overall high quality of the property. While gifts are not explicitly mentioned, the attention to detail contributes to a welcoming atmosphere, though it's noted that such personal touches are not guaranteed.

The open plan kitchen and living room is very spacious. The kitchen has everything you need and the living area is comfy and cosy with some amazing views. The bathroom is lovely, a good size and bright. Thereâs 2 bedrooms one with twin beds and the other with a double, my husband thought the mattress on the double was too squishy for him so he slept in the other room just in case you thought weâd argued!. Outside has the most amazing views over the bay x we would definitely recommend this little gem.

Lovely views and well designed to provide all comforts. What would have been helpful was a an information guide on local restaurants and places to visit close by.

The cottage has magnificent views of Morecambe bay, with green fields all around. The weather wasn't very seasonal for our week in June, so we couldn't take advantage of the sitting out area, but we enjoyed the view from the windows! We loved the peace and quiet and watching the donkeys and sheep in the fields nearby. Plenty of things to do in the area, with Grange and its promenade within easy walking distance. We plan to return!
