This beautiful barn conversion makes a wonderful holiday home for a couple or a family. Situated on the northern fringe of the Lake District, this lovely, cosy and welcoming property offers fresh and relaxing accommodation for four guests. With stunning views, the barn is ideal for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers exploring the Cumbrian Way, the North Pennines and the Solway Coast. The property is half a mile to the north of Caldbeck, a traditional fell village with a friendly pub, cafe and crafts centre.

Glazed barn doors lead into this charming property where you will find a cosy, fresh and inviting open-plan/lounge/diner which has been tastefully decorated in cool neutral tones. With a traditional wood burner and delightful dining area, this makes a wonderful living space, perfect for relaxing in at the end of an exhilarating day. Two bright and refreshing bedrooms can be found upstairs: one king-size and one twin. The property also features a ground-floor shower room and a first-floor bathroom. French doors lead from the lounge into the pretty garden which is an ideal spot for sitting back with a BBQ or a glass of wine in the evening and taking in the view. The barn is set within extensive fields and grounds for you to explore.

Located just south of Carlisle (13 miles), the cottage is perfect for exploring the northern parts of the Lake District. Within easy reach are several major lakes including Derwentwater (18 miles), Bassenthwaite Lake (10.5 miles), Ullswater and Thirlmere (both 19 miles). The mountain of Skiddaw hovers on the horizon (15 miles), and there are miles of spectacular walks and bike trails to follow throughout the area. Heading north, the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (14 miles) offers miles of glorious open coastline and sandy beaches.
