Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

About the neighbourhood
The Barn is in a great location for walking and mountain biking as there are many walks & trails straight from the door, including access to Grizedale Forest, Coniston, Ambleside, The Langdales, Grasmere and Lake Windermere are all within easy reach by road. Also a short ferry ride across the Lake is a pleasurable alternative route to Bowness. Whilst located up a quite lane in a peaceful and beautiful location, The Barn is within 6 mins walk of the village centre where there are 3 pubs, serving food 7 days a week. As well as a number of small cafes, some with evening opening. A local small grocery store, Chemist, Post Office and a selection of small independent shops including an Ice Cream shop!
Getting around
From The Barn. A good pair of walking boots are all you need to explore this fabulous area as there are many lovely walks straight from the door. If you peddle two wheels then there are lots of mountain bike trails accessible. Drive four wheels and the whole of this beautiful national park is yours to explore.
