Barrow Hollin and its adjoining property, Barrow Wife, lie on the Cartmel Fell, above the small village of High Newton, about three miles from the foot of Lake Windermere.
Barrow Wife was originally built as a Quaker Meeting House in 1677 by Lawrence Newton, with the addition of Barrow Hollin in 1712.

In 1964 the house and cottage were purchased by Claude and Audry Harrison. Both recognised artists, Claude exhibited throughout Europe and the USA and was a member of the Royal Society Of Portrait Painters.

Today the properties are in the care of their son Toby, himself an accomplished potter and painter, where both make perfect, tradittional Lake District holiday cottages

There are plenty of easy walks from the property, a few taking in the well known Masons Arms Inn. Closer by, at High Newton, is the Rose and Crown, about a 1.5 mile walk.

At Newby Bridge and the foot of Windermere, you will find Fell Foot Park, where you can hire row and sail boats.

Head south and you are on the Cartmel Peninsula, a lovely area of low fells that jut out into the Morecambe Bay. Here you will find delightful villages such as Cartmel and Grange over Sands.

Barrow Hollin

The cottage has been recently renovated, but as a listed building, keeps much of the character and features of an 18th century farm house.

From the stone porch you step into the sitting room. Stone floors sit under a timbered ceiling, with sofas and arm chairs set around a roaring fire.

The kitchen - dining room has a small but well equipped set of units, along with your dining area, giving superb views out over the gardens and surrounding fell. To the rear of the kitchen is a scullery, ideal for storing all those bits and bobs as well as drying out coats and boots.

Up the stone stairs to the three bedrooms. There are two twin bedded rooms, one having an en-suite shower room. The double bedroom is rather nice with its four poster bed and light streaming through the windows giving views over the garden. The main bathroom has a large bath with overhead shower.

Outside you have a large garden area with a tiny beck running through. Ideal for children and adults alike, here you will be able to relax in peace.

Whether you come in summer and spread out into the gardens for barbecues, or winter where you can tuck up around a roaring fire, Barrow Hollin will offer a peacful retreat for you to holiday at and truly relax, exploring the national park, its lakes and mountains as and when you fancy.
