Amazing weekend at Stonethwaite Barn

We absolutely loved our stay at Stonethwaite Barn this weekend! The barn is very spacious and stylish, with excellent facilities. I was especially impressed with the kitchen as it was kitted out with everything you could possibly need. We loved the garden area with the outdoor bath, this is a really unique feature. We enjoyed visiting the start of Hadrian's Wall at Bowness-on-Solway and had a beautiful walk along the estuary. We will be back!

Amazing Cumbrian Stay

Wow this place is amazing! We loved the style of the open plan kitchen/dining/living area and the covered outside seating area was perfect for relaxing in the evening. Being able to take the dog for a wander around the owners beautiful garden was just lovely & so peaceful. We took a cruise on Ullswater, had afternoon tea on a steam train at Bassenthwaite and climbed Catbells for fabulous views over Derwentwater, and all in glorious sunshine! The pretty village of Dalston, just a few minutes away, was very handy for shops and riverside walks. Thanks to David & Karen for being such great hosts; we can't wait to return and explore more of this beautiful area.
