Located in the northwestern corner of the Lake District, this inviting barn conversion sits in the serene Derwent Valley. Set on a peaceful, family-run farm, it offers flexible accommodation for six guests and up to four dogs, making it ideal for families and groups of friends. With shared access to a children’s play area, a games room, farm animals and a birdwatching hide, there’s plenty here to keep all ages entertained.
Thoughtfully designed with an upside-down layout to maximise rural views, this cottage offers plenty of opportunities for relaxation and entertainment. Upstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner boasts panoramic views across the surrounding fells. Rustle up meals for a crowd in the sleek, L-shaped kitchen, which is fully equipped with modern appliances, before gathering around the dining table to savour your creations. Then get comfortable on the sofas to watch TV or just enjoy quality time together. When night falls, take your pick from a master king-size and a twin bedroom on the first floor, which share use of the family bathroom, or head downstairs. Here, you’ll find a super-king-size bed, which can be arranged as a twin, along with a shower room. Outside, guests have shared access to a BBQ, patio furniture, as well as the games room, laundry facilities and a children’s play area, plus private parking for two cars.
Enjoy picnics around the pond, meet farm animals, and observe nature at the farm, or hop in your car to explore the surroundings. Venture to nearby Cockermouth (5.5 miles) for independent shops, dining options and the Wordsmith House. The market town of Keswick (12 miles) has more shopping and dining options, along with access to lakeside walks, water sports and cruises on Derwentwater. For a more tranquil experience, enjoy the wildlife at Bassenthwaite Lake (5 miles), or head to the coast with the sandy beaches of Allonby just 12 miles away.
