Area
Quietly situated between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, the tranquil village of Ravenstonedale lies at the foot of the Howgill Fells. This charming little village is a thriving rural community with many beautifully preserved traditional dwellings. The picturesque Ravenstonedale boasts a lovely parish church as well as the remains of an old Gilbertine Priory. Once a year the area still hosts its annual agricultural show and even now hill farming remains the principal income of the area. A. Wainwright, the famous author, once described the settlement as ‘one of Westmorland's loveliest villages'. The area provides many excellent walking and cycling routes and nearby, visitors can see the Settle to Carlisle Railway Line, the magnificent Howgill Fells and the stunning Yorkshire Dales, making this a wonderful location no matter what time of year.

Impressive mountains, open fells and clear-water lakes, the Lake District has it all. From walking in the mountains to exhilarating watersports or just a gentle cruise on a steam-powered yacht, Cumbria is the perfect holiday destination.

The most beautiful location with lots of character inside and outside. Very spacious, though it was only the 4 of us, and I believe 9 people would struggle with sitting down. The second night mice appeared in the living room and they seemed to be at home. They weren't afraid of people or noise etc. When we told the owner, she seemed to know about it. We caught 1 mouse but heard the running around of more. They left their droppings everywhere, even on the crockery. We had to move out, which completely ruined our first 3 days of our holiday, which was a present for my husband's 50th birthday. Beds horribly uncomfortable. Shame because from the pictures it looks like the nicest accommodation ever.

Some friends and I had a great week with Ash Pot Barn as our base.. Very luckily we had great weather, but even without that, the barn was exactly what we were looking for. Some of us walked locally, some drove to the lakes, some days we explored the northern dales. Whatever we did during the day, the barn was a cozy and spacious place to spend the evening together, with everything you need to hand. It's in a beautiful, secluded location meaning you really get that "away from it all" feeling. And don't be put off by negative feedback about the owners. Because of Covid (from your point view and theirs) they're not going to impose themselves on you but if your paths cross, as our did, you'll find them friendly and welcoming. Recommended.

Ash pot barn, is in the most beautiful place! The veiws are amazing! You are in the country side, with sheep and cows as your neighbours. The barn it’s self is well equipped and clean. The dishwasher wasn’t working very well tho, so washing up it was but wasn’t a problem. Do expect some webs and spiders every now and then you are in the country side! A washing machine was supplied, BUT no where available to dry the clothes, we used hangers and hang them in the windows, but would be good to have a washing line! There is no WiFi, and going with teenagers was a concern before we went but we always had 4g which was good. You are a drive away from the main places to visit Windermere was about 27miles, but the drive is worth it to return back to ash pot barn. About 4 min drive is a pub, the fat lamb! The food was amazing! Lush garden. The owners live next door but never saw or heard anything all week. The barn is big and loads of room, we went as 9 people two family’s! And had more than enough room. Well recommended and would return

The pictures do not do this place justice.. It is very beautiful both inside and outside. The location is wonderful. If you are looking for a peaceful and quite location this is for you. The owners (who live next door) were not very friendly and did not speak to us all week, maybe there were rightly concerned with Covid 19, which was not an issue. I can highly recommend this holiday let.

The views surrounding the property exceeded our expectations they were amazing.. The cottage was lovely and very spacious and I can imagine during winter with the log fire going it would be lovely and cosy. If we were to go again we would need to remember hand soap for the bathrooms as there was none provided, which was not good after a 4 hour drive and 3 young children desperate for the loo. Overall we had a fantastic time.

Great setting, House was warm and plenty of hot water but owners went for maximising the number of beds and didn't equip the property for a potential nine residents. for example the sitting room only had two settee's. Two of the four bedrooms lacked bedside tables and bedside lights. The dishwasher was poor and we had to frequently rinse plates. Dishwasher safe cutlery was not provided so had to be washed seperately. . There were only three items of 'oven to table' ware. We were a party of 4 so just about managed with this but it would be problematic with a larger group. We normally find stock food items [ sauces, oil, etc] left by previous visitors but not here. No tumble dryer, no airer, no clothes line. Fortunately we had good weather. We knew there was no DVD player so brought our own but we normally expect that as standard. We knew there would be no WiFi but strongly suspect that this could be wired from the owners property next door. All in all a disappointing rental from a party with a significant amount of experience of renting houses in the UK.

We had a fantastic time away as a large family group. Loved the views, garden and situation of the property. All age groups of our family party loved it! Thanks to the owner and family for being so helpful.

We love walking and hiking and visiting small towns so Ash Pot Barn was perfect - enough space for 9 of us and close to the things we wanted to do.. The cottage was great - big open kitchen and living room, enough bathrooms, and warm rustic décor. My girls loved the old spinning wheel.

Fabulous location and very clean cottage with nice views and plenty of character. The boys enjoyed the woodburning stove. The plumbing in the cottage was second to none with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. However, the Dishwasher and Microwave did not work, part of the fridge door was missing and the oven dial settings had been cleaned off so it was difficult to set temperatures. Generally the property needed some maintenance with patches of damp on the walls and draughty windows. The property had a number of Woodlice and other insects both downstairs and upstairs. Downstairs the bedrooms were sparsely furnished so there were no surfaces to put clothes and things. There were no bed-side tables so everything (glasses, books, mobile phones) had to go on the stone floors that were bare throughout with the exception of a couple of rugs. Outside the hardcore track leading down was potholed and care needed to be taken when driving up to avoid bottoming the car on the stones. Also note that there is a charge to use the towels. It's a shame because the property has such potential!

This was exactly what we wanted, plenty of room,warm,isolated in this wonderful part of Cumbria! Owners live next door but were very discreet, much appreciated. Lacked coat pegs for anoraks etc and perhaps a DVD player when weather bad as it was for us for a week!

We loved the location and being able to walk straight out onto the hills. It was useful having the owner next door just in case you needed anything. The cottage was very attractive and we particularly liked the open plan kitchen/dining room/sitting room. The bedrooms were comfortable and the 3 bathrooms very useful with a big group.

I stayed at ash Pot Barn with 6 other ladies. We had a great time. We couldnt fault our stay in anyway. We would definatley return, especially in Summer as it has a great BBQ area overlooking the Fells, But was cosy in the winter when we went. We walked to the Fat Lamb pub which took about 1 hour 10 mins. Secluded location but perfect for relaxing and staying in, great kitchen/living area. Bedrooms spacious and everywhere very clean.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was comfortable and well laid out. Very clean and newly decorated. Bedrooms would benefit from a little more furniture. The drive was quite steep but fine once we got used to it. Liked the open plan living area and the modern bathrooms best. Liked Spartan bedrooms least but they were clean. Scenery beautiful. Good walking straight from the door. The owners were very helpful.

A beautiful place to stay, perfect surroundings - we were looking for a property right out in the middle of nowhere... which was what we got. The view of all the hills was much better than hoped, and the icing on the cake was the small waterfall at the end of the road. It's within reasonable distance to most must see attractions etc in the Lake District.
