Cosy barn at the end of a single track road from Barbon. Good views across the Lune valley. Particularly enjoyed visiting the South Lake District and a trip on the Settle - Carlisle railway line.

There are walks from the door and Kirby Lonsdale is only a short drive away with a good choice of shops, cafes and eateries. We can't wait to return. Hide
