About this property

Finest Retreats | Bretherdale Barn

Bretherdale Barn is a truly stunning property in a rural idyll with incredible countryside views across The Lake District National Park. It's a perfect property for large families and friends to stay together and enjoy each others' company amongst the green fields full of sheep and horses. The Barn has been lovingly refurbished using local materials throughout and it now perfectly blends the characterful old building with luxury, modern fixtures and fittings.

The barn sleeps up to ten people in five bedrooms and guests can also enjoy access to the sauna and games room with a pool table.

On the gournd floor can be found 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-szed 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 al the amenities guests require to cook up a feast including a double oven and a large American-style fridge/freezer with wine chiller.

The fourth and fifth bedrooms can be found upstairs on the second floor, off a galleried hallway with small library area. One bedroom has a kingsized bed, the other a twin and both come with their own ensuite shower-over-bath.

Outside, there is a patio area and outdoor dining furniture to seat ten people so guests can enjoy their meals in the warmer summer months taking in the wonderful countryside views. There's also a BBQ available for guests' use.

The leisure building housing the sauna, steam room, showers and games room is next door. This facility is shared with Bretherdale Hall and there is a board provided for guests to book out morning, afternoon or evening sessions for their own private use. There is a separate drying room with spa towels for guests to use during their stay.


There is enough undercover parking for up to four cars with additional parking for at least another six cars on site. Please note that Bretherdale Hall is next door and both share the sauna and games room facility.

Bretherdale Barn is located only a few miles from Tebay off jct 38 of the M6. It's easy to get to if family members are arriving from different parts of the UK and the perfect location from which to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lake District. Kendal, Windermere and Ambleside are all within easy reach and offer wonderful days out whatever the time of year. Kendal is the nearest town and is full of historic character, with its web of interweaving alleyways and cobbled yards. The town is home to plenty of passionate artisans - if you love food and drink, you’ll love Kendal. Guests can browse the farm shops, visit local bakers and brewers or check out the local delicacies at the weekly market.

Please note when booking this property does not accept any stag/hen parties and will result in a termination of your reservation without refund.

Great location and beautiful barn
Great location, approx 5-10minutes from Tebay Services and the M6. Remote location with plenty of privacy. Loved the open plan living room and kitchen facilties. The design of the barn, the games room and sauna&#47steam room all very good features. The design / decor were impressive and well thought out. Sauna was not quite as hot as expected but I guess it being a home sauna, this can be expected. The steam room had a seat which looked like it has some form of mouldrotting. Floorboards were quite squeaky. There were 3 bed rooms on the ground floor, all which were pretty much directly under the open plan living / dining / kitchen area, so you could be woken up by anyone who is quite heavy footed. There was a lack of flexibility with an early check in request. Had to strip the bedsheets and towels into one pile as well as get rid of your own recycling.

Weekend stay
Lovely rural location. Very peaceful surrounded by lots of countryside, birds and even a few deer! The cleanliness could be improved (lots of cobwebs in the bathrooms in particular) but also the flooring on the middle floor. It was very creaky which made it almost impossible for those in the bottom floor bedrooms to sleep.
