HIDEAWAY BARN: ACCOMMODATION

The accommodation at Hideaway Barn is lovely throughout. With stone flagged floors, wooden floor boards and antique furniture, fine taste is combined with the comfort of modern living.

The entrance hallway is spacious with a desk for those needing a quiet moment to catch up with work. There are books here that you are welcome to borrow, as well as information & maps about the surrounding area.

The kitchen is large with dishwasher, microwave, a large gas cooking range, fridge and separate freezer. A washer-drier is located in the utility room. There is plenty of storage and preparation space and a table to seat six should you wish to dine in the kitchen. A welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits greets you upon arrival. For those who like to be woken with fresh coffee, a cafetiere is provided.

The sitting room is large with sumptuous leather sofas and a wood burning stove. The curtains are heavy giving the room a cosy feel in the winter. In summer, French windows look out onto the garden with views of the fells beyond. There is TV with DVD and video player here, as well as a mini hifi player.

The master bedroom is accessed by its own set of stairs and has an ensuite shower room, and a walk in wardrobe area. The bed is king sized although you could be forgiven for thinking that it looks rather small in this large, airy room.

The other two bedrooms (one double and one twin) are located up a second set of stairs and share a bathroom the stairs. The bathroom is large with a free standing bath.

Outside is a large garden with a patio area. There are hundreds of walks right from the front door although you will rarely see a soul here, even when the rest of the Lake District is heaving.

Pets are welcome although we ask that they are absolutely not let into the bedrooms upstairs and not left alone in the house while you are out (due to the antique furniture). We charge an extra £15 for dogs and can allow one only at the Barn.
