Simply it was beautiful. Linden Barn is lovely with modern up to date fixtures and fittings. Lovely suntrap garden as well. Gorgeous tucked away location within lovely Orton village. Perfect base for the Lakes, Yorkshire Dales and M6. Great local shop, the local pub does fabulous food, and I miss the local church bells. You start living life by quarter hours instead of every minute. Definitely going to return in the near future.

One of the best appointed cottages/barns we have ever stayed in . Immaculately clean , comfortable , everything you need is provided and the lovely helpful owners live next door . The barn setting is beautiful , great views , a lovely well tended garden and an adjacent field housing a very friendly horse, Pablo. Red squirrels came to the garden during our stay ! Peaceful and a great place to unwind . A lovely welcome basket was left including delicious homemade marmalade and cake made by the owner . Often when we have stayed in places , the garden and the outside is a bit tatty but this was just a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the views across the countryside . Great local walks , including stone circles , babbling streams and lots of wildlife . Perfect !

Wow, wow and wow the pictures of Linden Barn does not do the barn justice. The barn was immaculate when we arrived and the welcome basket was lovely, especially the lemon cake. The only way I can describe the location is idyllic and so quiet. We loved sitting outside in the morning watching the birds and first for us a red squirrel. The barn in well equipped with everything you need, with comfy beds to boot. The barn was very cosy especially when you get the open fire roaring at night. The George hotel just a 2 minute walk away served lovely food and beer with nice friendly staff. The takeaway is also worth a try. Lots of walks on your door step if that is your thing as well. We would definitely love to return one day.

A lovely barn conversion with spacious accommodation which was very well equipped in a beautiful setting. A super base to explore the Lake District and Dales. The village of Orton is very quaint and quiet set in beautiful countryside with lots of super walks. The owners of the barn (who live next door) were lovely and very welcoming and helpful. The only very minor criticism is that as the heating was underfloor it took a full day to warm up and was quite chilly on the first night, though the log burner and an ample supply of wood helped! The welcome pack was very much appreciated, especially the delicious lemon cake (plus bread, milk, butter, coffee, tea etc)!
