The Byre has an upside-down layout, sleeping 4, with both bedrooms on the ground level (each is en-suite with whirlpool bath), open plan kitchen/living and additional mezzanine level.
Features include beautiful location at the foot of the Howgill Fells, welcome pack with local produce, wood-burner, great views, vaulted ceiling, beautiful walks, family activities nearby (such as Lowther Castle, The Rheged Centre and Ullswater), red squirrels in the grounds and an enclosed garden at the front of the barn (which is perfect for a drink in the late afternoon sunshine!).
