Barnhowe is a beautiful stone built, detached, early 19th century property situated on Elterwater Common. Previously it was one of a number of buildings used by the local blacksmith for the village. It was converted into a residence in the last century and in the very recent past has undergone another transformation into a very desirable residence. Accommodation for up to six people comprises on the ground floor of a large dining and sitting room, a cosy lounge, and kitchen leading on to utility room, shower room with limestone flooring and WC. The highest quality wood, limestone flooring and top of the range appliances and equipment have been fitted and the kitchen features an Aga range cooker. On the first floor is a large hallway leading to a double and a twin bedroom and a family bathroom. Each of these rooms have zip and link beds which can be made up into doubles or twin. (please stipulate when making your booking how you would like the beds made up) On the top floor is a fantastic bedroom built into the roof with feature beams and wood panelling which leads into a large en-suite bathroom and in turn to a dressing room. The top floor bathroom features a freestanding roll top bath. The oil fired central heating throughout is complemented by wood burning stoves in the living room and dining room making this property cosy all year round. Barnhowe is a wonderful old property with thick walls and a layout which makes the most of the available space. The top bedroom with its large, luxurious en-suite bathroom is reached by a narrow, winding staircase and the bed is very low to the ground. It is worth noting that access to this room may prove difficult for the very young, the elderly or anyone with mobility problems. However, the attractive top floor bedroom, bathroom and dressing room provide delightful privacy and comfort which more than makes up for the access and narrowness of the stairs. Outside is a small well established garden and a stone flagged

Elterwater is a charming village in the heart of Langdale and the Lake District. It is just 5miles from the bustling town of Ambleside with all its shops, eating out places, cinemas and gift shops. The famous Britannia Inn is just a short stroll away from the front door and Slates Bistro is on the corner opposite Elterwater’s magnificent maple tree. For fine dining, the welcoming Eltermere Inn is a five minute walk away over the stone bridge that spans the River Brathay. Surrounded by extensive lawns framed with awe-inspiring views, the Eltermere Inn combines the highest standards of service, good food and informality. For those who wish to explore further afield, a bus stop is located opposite Elterwater’s magnificent maple tree. Buses are frequent and connect guests with the wider towns and outstanding scenery of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Leaving the car behind and jumping on a bus to explore the National Park not only helps to look after the spectacular landscape but also gives passengers the opportunity to see it without the challenge of negotiating narrow, and sometimes steep, country lanes or search for parking at your destination. By sitting back watching the landscape go by, the journey becomes part of your adventure!
