Set amid idyllic countryside in south-west Cumbria, this enchanting glamping cabin offers a cosy and welcoming base for couples and solo adventurers that love to be immersed in nature. Located on a former farm on the fringe of the Lake District National Park, this delightful barn conversion fuses luxury with wilderness – perfect for the adventurous-at-heart.
This stone barn has been thoughtfully converted, blending aspects of a conventional studio-style apartment with the rustic charm of a glamping setup. A curved entrance leads into the timber-lined interior, which exudes warmth and comfort. Simple and elegantly furnished, it features a wooden four-poster double bed flanked by a comfortable seating area with a sofa and rocking chair, a charming dining nook for two, and a small but well-equipped kitchenette. Soft throws and a deep rug enhance the cosy feel, while a smart shower room allows guests to refresh with ease.
A couple of outdoor chairs sit in front of the property, inviting guests to enjoy a morning cuppa or evening tipple in the fresh air. Surrounded by valleys and woodland, there are ample walking and cycling opportunities from the property, including Black Combe (3.5 miles), which has stunning sea views from the summit. If you’re interested in geology, a trip to Millom Rock Park (3 miles) will prove fascinating, while the local pony-trekking centre offers beach rides for riders of all levels of experience. For a traditional Lakeland day out, head to Coniston Water (20 miles), which offers some great water-based activities including a steam yacht trip on the water, plus boat hire, paddleboarding, kayaking and rowing boats.
