This stunning luxury hideaway – once the village post office – has been beautifully transformed into a magnificent retreat. The two-bedroom home is tucked away in the peaceful village of Barbon, sitting equidistant (3 miles) from both the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of Bowland National Landscape. You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor explorations, with sites like Malham Cove (19.5 miles) and Ingleborough Cave (8 miles) – so pull on your hiking boots and pack a hearty picnic for some scenic walks. If you’re keen to discover the area’s more urban delights, head to historic Kirkby Lonsdale (6 miles) or charming Kendal (18.5 miles). The market towns of Settle (13 miles) and Hawes (19.5 miles) also give you a real taste of the region.

Step inside and be welcomed by a beautifully styled space, where elegant wooden floors and carefully chosen artwork create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The spacious lounge/diner is perfect for unwinding together – curl up by the cosy wood burner for intimate evenings in, or gather with friends around the window seats overlooking the charming village. A Smart TV adds the option of movie nights, while the dining table sets the scene for relaxed meals, laughter, or planning tomorrow’s adventures.

The light-filled kitchen, dressed in sleek monochrome tones, flows effortlessly into a handy utility room – ideal for storing boots and coats after countryside strolls. Underfloor heating runs throughout, ensuring comfort and a touch of luxury at every step.

Upstairs, a steep spiral staircase leads to two elegant king-size bedrooms, each designed for restful nights. One features an en-suite with a romantic roll-top bath – perfect for a long soak – while the main bathroom offers both a walk-in shower and bath, giving everyone space to refresh and relax.

Through the kitchen, you’ll find a private courtyard garden, enclosed and filled with flowers. It’s a delightful spot to share a glass of wine under the stars or enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the fresh air.

Convenient on-street parking is available opposite the property, making arrivals and departures easy.

Comfy and cosy cottage. Great for exploring the Dales and Cumbria. Staircase is very steep. No welcome pack on arrival. The cottage provides all home comforts in a pretty village.

This is a lovely, spacious cottage located in the quiet village of Barbon, close to Kirkby Lonsdale. It is a comfortable, well equipped cottage, a lovely 'home from home', and one which we will definitely return to.
