Great location if you want to explore the North Lakes or Scotland. Wonderful for our family of all ages to get together. Fabulous accommodation and hosts. We have booked our third visit.

We have stayed here since they first opened & absolutely love it. Everything that you need is in this cottage including age appropriate toys. It is always spotlessly clean although I can?t say it is the same when we leave. Our grandchildren love coming here & are always excited to arrive but sad to leave. They love the dogs & calves but this time we had the excitement of baby owls to watch. This is our home from home & we?ll be back in December for our 2 weeks!! Thanks Joanne & Martin so much for making our stay wonderful!

Cottage Review:  

We booked this cottage last minute for a few nights? break and couldn?t have been happier when we arrived to this beautifully converted home. The place was spotless and all fittings and furnishings of a high standard. We instantly felt at home. Joanne and Martin were so friendly and the welcome tray was a lovely touch. (Best banana loaf we?ve ever had! ) It was a treat to help feeding the calves, and just sitting out on the patio listening to birdsong and watching the swallows diving about was so relaxing. Could?ve happily stayed a lot longer and will definitely visit again! Just a tip if you?re thinking of booking - booking direct with the owners via their website is cheaper than going through a booking agency.

The Old Grainstore is one of the best holiday cottages I've stayed in; it's extremely spacious and modern, was spotlessly clean (important in these Covid times!) and has everything you need. Joanne & Martin were incredibly welcoming and really helpful with advice and tips of things to do locally, such as options for bike rides. I'd love to stay again sometime!

Cottage Review:  

4 friends and I stayed here Fri-Mon to climb Scafell Pike and enjoy a country escape from London. It's about and hour and 20 drive from the mountain through incredibly dramatic and beautiful scenery. It's very conveniently located for visiting Keswick and also Bassenthwaite Lake (which we swam in... Brrrr... beautiful but cold in September).

The accommodation itself was scrupulously clean and well maintained. The rooms were all enormous with lovely high ceilings and decor and furniture that was extremely comfortable and restful (the beds are divine after a trek up a mountain and the whole place is light and airy and fresh). The enormous bath was also a bonus!

Also, we couldn't have wished for a better host. We had a small accident (too embarrassing and daft to detail) but our host was ever so kind and understanding. We really appreciated the lovely cakes, jam and eggs that were in the cottage when we arrived as well.

Our stay couldn't have been better. Highly recommended.

We had a fabulous week, Grandma, Grandad, Mum, Dad, 3 3/4 year old & 16 month old. Joanne & Martin extremely friendly hosts who genuinely care that you are happy. Well equipped, child/toddler friendly, spotless & very comfortable. Great showers & comfortable beds. Lots of thoughtful touches. Great location, good access to walks & the beach. Must visit the Howk in Caldbeck. Wigton will cater for most purchases. The banana bread & crumbles by Joanne were delicious. Our granddaughters loved Bramble, Poppy & Lily the extremely friendly, but well behaved farm dogs. Would definitely recommend, especially if you want peace & quiet. We will be back!

We had such an excellent time here. The owners were really friendly and bent over backwards to make our stay perfect. Once they found out we had a 3 year old with us, they made sure there were lots of toys and books to play with, and provided a bed guard. My daughter was so excited to feed the cows on the farm!

The kitchen is better stocked than my own, and they had homemade scones out for us when we got there. The beds were really comfy and the showers lovely.

Would happily stay again and would recommend.

We stayed over Easter 2016 in this wonderful cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful and the owners Joanne and Martin have thought of everything - we could not fault it. Comfy beds, great showers and large bath, well equipped kitchen and toys for the children with a safe play area outside. The Bairds are great hosts and could not be more helpful - the fresh farm eggs and cakes were a great welcome and the children enjoyed helping to feed the calves. The cottage is ideally located for the many attractions of the North Lakes and only 5 minutes from the small

I spent a week in this beautifully renovated old grainstore. The house was very well heated throughout, with excellent showers (plenty of hot water) and comfortable beds. The three bedrooms were nicely decorated and the whole house very clean. It was particularly good having two showers and three WCs. I found it to be very quiet (apart from the odd mooing of cows close by) and located in a lovely area with lots of things to see and do only a short drive away. All of the bedrooms, as well as the main bathroom and an en-suite WC, are upstairs. Each bedroom has

What an absolutely stunning cottage - I would happily have this as my home and not change a thing!

We visited The Old Grainstore primarily for a wedding in the area, staying as 4 adults and 1 child and could not have been happier.

The owner (who was just lovely) contacted us prior to our visit and checked the age/gender of our child and made sure there were games / books / decor approraite and she felt well and truly special. She also checked to see if we had any specific requirements.

On arrival we had a basket of warm, freshly cooked scones waiting, along
