My husband and I stayed at Lamb Lodge Barn for a weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we could not have wished for a better few days! From the very start it couldn't have been easier, from first booking to the directions.
When we arrived Mel was welcoming and made clear that if there was anything we needed, all we had to do was let her know.
The Barn itself is gorgeous! It is both cosy and spacious with the different levels and spotlessly clean! Eveything you can think of is provided and the welcome pack is clear and easy to understand. My husband stays in hotels regularly for work and he said the bed is the most comfortable he has ever slept in when away from home... and the sheets were pure luxury!!!
The views are amazing from any of the picture windows you look out of, and we saw a real mix of weather while we were there, from bright sunshine to misty clouds rolling down the hills!
On our first night we walked down into Uppermill and ate at Muse and the food was delicious, the atmosphere was vibrant and the people were very friendly (the couple at the table next to us helped us choose what to have from the menu). Walking back up the hill was a real undertaking for us, we live in an area that is as flat as you can get, but we made it!
The next day, after a full english cooked in the well appointed kitchen, we walked back down to Uppermill and followed the canal down to Grandpa Greens ice cream shop. There was loads of choice and we sat watching the ducks swimming while we enjoyed the sunshine... and we walked back up that hill again!!!
That evening we sat outside the front of the barn, listening to the sheep, and had a glass of red wine while we watched the sun set over the hills.
We were both sad to leave the tranquility on our last morning, but hopefully we'll be back one day soon!!!
