Property code: 92000

Gather your loved ones for a holiday in this incredible converted barn. There’s plenty of room for friends, family or a mixed group of both, plus your favourite four-legged friends. You’ll be able to explore the beautiful Lake District or relax and socialise in style with lots of fun little features throughout the property.

Enter through the vast doors to find yourself in a lounge, where you can see the stairs to the first floor and a mezzanine, then all the way to the roof. There are exposed bricks and wooden beams which honour the building’s past. The ground floor also accommodates the kitchen, which is equipped with a breakfast bar and an Aga, a dining room which can seat the whole party, a WC, a utility room with a vaulted ceiling, and the first three bedrooms. There’s a king-size, a double and a twin, all with en-suites for privacy and convenience. Return to the lounge and head up the stairs for the mezzanine snug/reading nook, perfect for quiet moments, a lounge and a games room. You’ll find two more bedrooms here – both king-size with en-suites, and one with a dressing room. The property has expansive grounds with lawns and shrubs for children and dogs to play on, and a seating area with benches and a table so you can relax outside with a drink. To keep things secure, the garden is enclosed by a wooden fence.

The barn is surrounded by farmland and great places to walk. The nearest village is Bassenthwaite, a mile away, and it has one pub which serves good food and welcomes dogs. If you’d like a bigger hub, try Keswick, 7.5 miles, which has more dog-friendly eateries and some shops.

We had an amazing holiday. Lovely place with lots of facilities and in perfect distance to visit lots of the Lake District. The house was clean, spacious and the beds were super comfy. The pub down the road is both dog friendly and does gluten free food and the bus stop is also round the corner if you want to visit Keswick without taking the car.

Lovely barn, very well equipped, spacious throughout, each bedroom having own bathroom was ideal for large group stay. Amazing views of mountains/lakes and very local for exploring the local area. Local pub was nice, however note there is no local shop so come prepared!

Beautiful, quaint, well equipped cottage. Lovely views and its location isn't too far from anywhere. As an extended family of 10, we have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Bassenthwaite Barn and couldn't have asked for anything more. We would definitely consider visiting again if we holiday as an extended family again.

Not within walking distance for those with mobility issues. The Castle Inn is in walking distance however lacks atmosphere and they don't like walkins.
