Guests say
Bogle Barn receives glowing praise for its immaculate presentation, cosy atmosphere, and excellent location in a peaceful village with direct access to beautiful walks and Grizedale Forest. Guests consistently highlight the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and thoughtful touches throughout. The local pub is a favourite, and the barn is ideal for families, walkers, and dog owners. Minor criticisms include occasional issues with heating and garden furniture, but these are far outweighed by the overwhelmingly positive feedback. Many guests are repeat visitors, reflecting the property's enduring appeal.
Cleanliness is frequently mentioned as a standout feature, with multiple guests describing the property as 'immaculately clean', 'spotlessly clean', and 'very clean'. Only one review noted a minor dusting issue, but this was an exception among overwhelmingly positive comments.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to Grizedale Forest, and easy access to walking and cycling routes. Guests appreciate the peaceful village setting and the convenience of being close to popular Lake District towns. A few mention the lack of local shops, but this is seen as a minor inconvenience.
Guests consistently describe Bogle Barn as cosy, comfortable, and homely, with special mention of comfortable beds, quality furnishings, and a relaxing atmosphere. The underfloor heating and wood-burning stove are appreciated, though a couple of guests noted issues with bathroom heating.
The barn is praised for being extremely well-equipped, with a modern kitchen, quality appliances, and thoughtful extras like dog bowls and washing tablets. Some minor suggestions include more garden furniture and improved heating in bathrooms, but overall, facilities exceed expectations.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome packs and treats for dogs, as well as helpful information and responsive hosts. Please note that gifts or welcome packs are not guaranteed for every stay.

This property deserves a 5 star review. It has every facility you need and is very well equipped, and is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. It is very well positioned for walks from the door, and access to the Southern Fells. The only issue we had was that the property was cold, particularly in the bathrooms. The underfloor heating was not working, which led to damp towels etc. We contacted the owner, but he said just light the wood-burning stove. Not much good for the bathrooms. Bring your own electric heaters for the mid seasons!
