This cosy converted barn hideaway is tucked away in a peaceful location, offering stunning views over Scafell and incredible golden hour light. An idyllic retreat for couples seeking walking adventures in the Lake District National Park and tranquillity amidst rolling countryside.

Soak in your spectacular location with mountainous views and blissful birdsong as you make your way up to the front door of this beautiful property. Head upstairs into the open-plan, studio-style living space, which has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. Sink into the corner sofa in front of the crackle of the wood burner and enjoy cups of tea while browsing the Smart TV. The compact yet fully equipped kitchen makes dishing up romantic meals for two a breeze, which can be enjoyed around the cosy dining table or outside in the private garden to the side of the property.

Here, you can dine alfresco surrounded by nature, and as the evening draws in, stargaze under the clear night sky. Enjoy a hot shower in the well-appointed shower room at bedtime, then climb into your cosiest pyjamas and settle into the sumptuous double bed. Rounding off the home is private parking for one car.

Wake up and head off to discover Stanley Ghyll Waterfall (1 mile), one of the Lake District's most enchanting landmarks. Devoke Water (1.5 miles), the largest tarn in the Lake District, is also nearby. The area is perfect for hiking enthusiasts — with the starting point for climbing Scafell Pike just 13 miles away, offering endless unspoiled scenery. For a more leisurely experience, enjoy a picnic at the foot of the mountain. Popular local attractions such as Wastwater, Hardknott Pass, and the Eskdale Steam Railway are all within 11 miles.

It was the perfect size for a couple and 1 dog. You could not have had large dog but we have a frenchie so it was perfect. The lay out of the loft was brilliant and its the first place we have stayed that had decent tv channel selection

Beautiful location, and a really well converted and maintained property. The only negatives for us were the standard and quality and size/style of the bed. The mattress was of a poor quality and very lumpy, and the bed was too small for my partner who is just over 6 foot. We wouldnt stay again unless this was changed, especially for the money.

The cottage was great , if youre looking for a secluded location, with peace and quiet this is for you, the approach to the cottage down the tracks off the main road through the sheep is lovely.

Really off the beaten track. Ideal for those seeking to be away from it all. Excellent location for walkers. Devoke round and the Eskdale valley all within easy walking distance. Visitors be aware that currently Budgens in Gosforth is closed due to a serious fire in August 2024.

Staying at Ganny Loft was a really special experience. Of course it helped that I had a beautiful week of weather but it was just lovely to be in such a peaceful, remote location surrounded by nature. There is so many options to enjoy the outdoors in the surrounding area including hiking, bouldering and swimming in the clear and beautiful river EskRead more and river Duddon, as well as nearby Devoke water. The loft is cosy and well equipped and felt like a real sanctuary to come home to every night. Hide

Loved the location and the loft, so cosy and clean. We did a lot of walking using OS maps but unfortunately the paths couldnt be seen, fell in a peat bog but just got up and laughed it off

This is a fantastic little cottage. The cottage itself is furnished to a high standard and was very clean and comfortable. Theres no view from the cottage itself but the views from the communal areas make up for it, stunning all around, from wide flat moors to Scafell Pike. The cottage is a great location for walking with many routes straight from Read morethe door and is close to places like Wast Water, Windermere and Ambleside. Hide
