Old Corner Barn Lake District Escape by PolkaStays

It was alright , not fun as much as we wanted . Positive: It was clean and spacious Negative: There was no terrace, and too much noise from living room while being in the bedroom sleeping. You can’t sleep while others being in the living room.?

Nice location didn't quite make up for shortcomings Positive: Old Corner Barn was in a nice location. The property was a good size with a variety of amenities. Negative: Unfortunately a dishwasher and crockpot in the kitchen don't make up for lack of basics like teatowels and a functional plug for the sink! There was no hand soap in either of the bathrooms - just empty "Polka Stays luxury handwash" bottles - we had to search and found some generic stuff hidden in a cupboard which we used to refill them all. There were no bathmats so had to use extra bathtowels. Worst of all - bedsheets on both queen size beds that did not fit - flat sheets (not fitted) on the bottom, that didn't even cover the mattress protector fully - yuck. And there was a very strange smell in the area near what may have been the boiler? Quite unpleasant chemical smell - so we kept windows open nearby to let in fresh air even though it was chilly. Unfortunately we had booked for 2 nights or we would have left the next morning.

Very dissapointed, freezing cold property, bare essentials only provided, terrible customer service Positive: It was clean and beds comfortable Negative: Had to chase entry code to get access after long cold wet hike, property was really cold and took a while to heat, no tea or coffee etc, which isn’t promised but you would normally expect, not enough cooking utensils pans etc I won’t go on as many other disappointments . Unfortunately we forgot electric cooler box ( not cheap one )and after many tries to recover been unable to retrieve and had no reply to last few communications, seems to be run by outsourced agency no personal service or customer care received Avoid this one

Spacious,clean and comfortable place. Would stay again.

Positive: Yes Negative: Yes
