We had an amazing stay at Howgills Barn for a hen party of 20. The property was perfect for a large group – very well equipped, spotlessly clean, and with a fantastic social space where we were able to host our own silent disco and karaoke & cocktail nights.
Communication from the owners was excellent throughout. They were incredibly easy to deal with and really accommodating – even helping when my supermarket delivery arrived just before check-in by sending a couple of the team to assist. They left me to get organised initially and then came back to show us how everything worked, including the dishwasher, hot tub, and fire alarm, which was really helpful.
We did have a small issue with the Wi-Fi, but when I emailed they responded quickly and were very proactive in trying to resolve it.
The location is beautiful, with stunning views and a lovely walk into town down the track. It’s also easy to imagine using it as a base for exploring the area or hiking during the day and then coming back to relax in the hot tub.
Overall, I couldn’t fault it and would absolutely book again if I needed accommodation for a large group. Highly recommended. Thank you Howgills team!
