Located in the stunning Grisedale valley at the gateway of the mighty Helvellyn range is this delightful cottage. Originally a small cattle barn, it is now a spacious holiday home for two with charming original features.

Situated beyond the farm road end, the cottage is adjacent to the footpath leading to Grisedale Tarn, Fairfield and St Sunday Crag making it perfect for a walking getaway.

The barn is entered by the entrance hall with the bathroom opposite with a delightful feature stone wall typical of this area of the Lake District, WC, shower over the bath and an electric towel rail.

We enjoyed our week in Cruck Barn, at end-July 2024. The property was fresh and just right for two people. Very comfortable with all key appliances provided. The reduced telecoms connectivity did not affect us particularly as there is Wi-Fi and most of our devices could connect well. Best bring DVDs and/or a TV FireStick as there is no live TV. LocRead moreal walks in Grisedale fells are a must. If you like nature and want a break without paved walkways or noise and light pollution, this is for you. Hide

Property was clean and well equipped. Cruck Barn has been well thought out, showing the beautiful stone work and beams. Views are absolutely stunning, from all angles. We had a wonderful stay and the peace and quiet was just what we hoped for. Friends are already asking for details from pictures we took.

The barn is in a secluded spot, as proved by the access across two fields, but the effort to get there was well worth it. Plenty of walks from the house meant we did not have to use the car. However we made use of the 2 bus fare scheme to start two of our walks from the Kirkstone Pass.
