About this property

Detached, romantic, homely barn. Peaceful with lovely views. Wild garden. WiFi.

The Barn is the perfect place to stay if you want to be in a peaceful, though not secluded, location, handy to get to the sights, the shops and of course the walks and the Lakes. Visitors enjoy the homely feel of The Barn and they are keen to return to this unique little gem.

The Barn is full of character and is very comfortable. It is located in a peaceful hamlet, whilst being only a few miles from the amenities of Kendal. There are lots of windows looking onto the garden and Potter Fell, the nearest hill. The 6 roof windows give the Barn a bright and airy feel.

On the upper floor you will find the open plan living area, with exposed beams, a new living flame gas fire for chilly evenings and a 40" TV with Freesat and catch up TV. There is comfortable seating for five and a good sized dining table. The kitchen area has everything you will need to prepare and cook meals. A welcome drinks pack is provided and free wifi.

Downstairs there is a double bedroom with two windows looking onto the garden and a view of Potter Fell. The bedroom is carpeted and has an oak bed (with electric blanket) and oak cupboards and mirror. Original artwork adds to the appeal. All bedding is provided. This is a very pleasant room to sleep in.

The shower room contains toilet, shower and hand basin. It is small and but pleasant. Towels are provided.

There is a long garden with seating areas and country views. The garden has sunny areas in the mornings and afternoons. The area is rural so you will usually hear and see the sheep in the next field and the many birds singing in the trees. At the front of the property there is parking for 1 car (or 2 by arrangement.) Please note that care is needed on the stairs down to the Barn entrance and are unsuitable for those with walking difficulties.

Our Lakeland Barn has some excellent walks from the doorstep. Within a few miles by car, you can visit the lovely valleys of Longsleddale and Kentmere and the towns of Staveley and Kendal. Bowness, Windermere, Troutbeck and Ambleside are within easy reach too. Even Keswick and the northern lakes are within an hour’s drive, as is Coniston, Ulverston and Grange-over-Sands. Head to the east and you can explore Kirby Lonsdale, Sedbergh, Dent and the Howgills.

This property is a very special hideaway and well worth a visit. I spend a lot of time at The Barn myself and I am continually making improvements while retaining the character and homeliness. I want guests to feel comfortable and happy when visiting so I ensure everywhere is clean and welcoming. I am happy to help with any questions or to let guests discover for themselves the joys of the Lake District.

Katharine W.

Cosy and full of character
This place is full of ambience. I loved the colourful tiles and beautiful mugs, ceramics and paintings. Even the quilt cover was an artwork. The place is comfortable and really well equipped. It has Netflix and a new gas-powered log fire. Fran also generously left wine and delicious shortbread. An enjoyable place to stay.

A very charming ,quiet location. English country garden all over. Close enough to Kendal, distant enough for privacy and relaxation. Super!

Lovely quiet place
Situated in beautiful countryside which presents ample opportunities for interesting walks and within easy driving distance of the attractions of the Lakes District. The "Barn" is beautifully kept and full of little personal touches. We loved it.

About the host

Hosted by Fran

Host profile image
I am a music teacher. I love my job, but after a noisy week at work I like nothing better than to stay at The Barn and enjoy the peace and quiet in Garth Row, punctuated only by birds singing, lambs bleating and the occasional clip clop of horses hooves. I enjoy walking on the local fells, sailing on the lakes and visiting the Lakeland tea rooms.

Why they chose this property

Garth Row is a great location for a property. It is far enough away from Kendal to feel very rural, but close enough to nip in to visit the shops, the restaurants and public houses and the cinema. The local fells are not busy as they are undiscovered by the majority of walkers. Many of the famous 'big' walks, the various lakes and towns and villages are easy to reach by car.

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with this little barn on my first visit. I love the beautiful stone with which it is built and the thickness of the walls. The views onto the garden and surrounding countryside are lovely. It is a perfect location for a quiet and restful holiday, but only a few miles from the amenities of Kendal.
