Welcome to Bretherdale Barn a perfect property for large families and friends to stay together in a rural setting with incredible countryside views. Nestled in the Lake District National Park, guests can enjoy each other’s company amongst the green fields full of sheep and horses. The barn sleeps up to ten people across five bedrooms and has been lovingly refurbished using local materials throughout, perfectly blending the characterful old building with luxury, modern fixtures, and fittings. On the ground floor are three bedrooms (all with ensuite shower rooms) along with a family bathroom with large bath. Of the three ground floor bedrooms, there is 1x king-sized bedroom, 1x twin room and 1x double. There is also a handy utility room and WC on the ground floor with a washing machine and tumble dryer. The ground floor has underfloor, central heating. The primary living space is to be found on the first floor which is accessed via two staircases. The large, open plan living, dining and kitchen area is ideal for socialising and is full of luxury touches. The impressive chandelier on the stairway, the engineered oak flooring and the hanging wood-burning stove all provide a sense of splendour. With guests staying in with a lit fire during the cooler Autumn and Winter months, there is also the widescreen TV with Sky package which can also be enjoyed. The kitchen is well stocked with all the amenities guests require to cook up a feast including a double oven and a large American-style fridge/freezer with wine chiller.
