Visitor Reviews of The Barns at Blackwater Meadow

Emma Clarke
Date of stay: 31st March 2025
Really enjoyed our stay. The place was spotless and cosy and the welcome box was a lovely touch. Quiet and peaceful, just what we needed!

Date of stay: 30th March 2025

Great stay, would recommend
Oliver
Date of stay: 9th March 2025
The lodges are stunning and kept so tidy, we loved the peaceful vibe right by the canal and woods. The cute town just five minutes walk away was a real bonus and there are loads of sights nearby with beautiful views all around. We had a fantastic time and can't wait to return!

Date of stay: 6th March 2025
We stayed at this place recently and honestly, the cabins themselves are stunning - beautifully finished and really cosy. We loved the location by the lake, it’s gorgeous! However, there are quite a few things that could be better. The steps up to the lodges are a bit of a nightmare, especially if you’ve got small kids or mobility issues. The gravelled deck and hot tub below the stairs make it even more risky and with icy conditions and no handrail, it’s a real hazard. We were glad we had a 4x4 to get in and out of the site, as the entrance road is still a work in progress. Privacy inside and outside the lodges isn’t great either - most people kept blinds drawn all day, which isn’t ideal. The pond is lovely but sound travels easily and we were disturbed a few times by some anti-social behaviour. Unfortunately, the staff didn’t seem very interested or available to help out. On the plus side, cleanliness was top-notch, but the dishwasher was pretty gross - clearly hadn’t been cleaned in ages, with filters needing a proper scrub. Overall, a mixed stay with some real highlights and quite a few niggles. We might go back, but with a few caveats!

We had a lovely short stay at The Barns. The drive up was a bit rough with some pretty big potholes on the track, but the staff reassured us they’re working on fixing it soon. The team on site were genuinely helpful and friendly throughout our visit. Our lodge, Stargazer, was spotless and had lovely bathrooms and bedrooms. It was a bit smaller than we imagined in the lounge and kitchen area, but once we settled in, it was comfortable enough for just the two of us. If you’re planning to bring more people, I’d suggest upgrading to a larger lodge. The setting is beautiful, right next to the canal for nice walks and close to The Mere. If there’s another deal, we’ll definitely come back!

Date of stay: 2nd March 2025
We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It’s spacious, beautifully furnished and super comfy beds. There’s plenty of storage in every room and having a full-sized fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and dishwasher made everything so easy. It’s warm and feels like a home away from home!
Sarah
Date of stay: 27th February 2025
The cabin’s really charming and thoughtfully decorated, giving off a warm vibe. The kitchen and front room are a good size, but we did find the storage a bit lacking-more drawers and hangers would’ve been helpful!
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 16th February 2025
Looking forward to booking again, loved every minute!
Freya
Date of stay: 14th January 2025
We recently booked a two-night stay here as a sort of belated Christmas treat for my partner and honestly, it was fantastic! The place is absolutely gorgeous, with so much attention to detail inside. Everything you could possibly need is there, including a really sweet welcome basket with some goodies. Just before we arrived, we got a call from Kate to let us know the driveway was flooded because of the rain, but they kindly upgraded us to a different barn. We really appreciated that gesture since it wasn’t necessary, but they did it anyway - big thanks to Kate for that! The staff are genuinely lovely and attentive and the hot tub was just the best. The views are breathtaking and honestly, we didn’t want to leave the place - it’s perfect for a cosy couples’ escape. Really loved it, thank you so much!

Really impressed with the quality, but the living space was a bit cramped.
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 24th November 2024
We had a lovely weekend away. The facilities were really good and the hot tub was already warm when we got there, which was a nice touch. Sadly, the first two nights were cloudy, so no stargazing, but the third night, clear skies meant plenty of stars to enjoy. We’d definitely come back!
James
Date of stay: 31st March 2024
The lodge was fantastic, honestly. We keep reminiscing about the holiday and recommending it to everyone we know. Definitely a trip to remember!
Emma
Date of stay: 27th March 2024
We had a wonderful stay! The lodge was stunning and perfectly placed for walking into Ellesmere. The walk around the lake was lovely and the kids enjoyed the park. The Sunday lunch at the boathouse was really nice. The only downside was the unfenced pet area near our lodge, but we hear it’s being sorted. We’ll definitely return!
Emma
Date of stay: 20th March 2024
We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was spotless and super comfy. Ellesmere had plenty of lovely spots for food and walks. Angela was lovely! We’d happily come back and tell everyone about it.
Emma
Date of stay: 13th March 2024
Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge had everything we needed.
Emily
Date of stay: 14th February 2024
We had a really lovely stay at the Barns! The location is just perfect - peaceful but still a short walk into Ellesmere, which we loved. The warm welcome was a nice touch, especially the hamper of treats and Angela popping by on the first morning to check in and give us a map was really thoughtful. The site itself is so tranquil, perfect for unwinding. Stargazing in the hot tub and spotting wildlife in the mornings was such a treat, especially with that little view of the canal and swans. We’re already thinking about coming back in summer to enjoy the fire pit and outdoor furniture. Definitely recommend!
