Green Barn Cottages - Kirkby Stephen

Property Information

Situated between the Lake District National Park and the Yorkshire Dales, Green Barn Cottages can sleep up to seven guests and provide a very high standard of self-catering accommodation. The cottages are located in the Howgills, on the outskirts of the attractive village of Ravenstonedale. Although lost in the countryside, we're a mere fifteen minutes' drive from the M6 at Tebay. Surrounded by farmland and fells, the location is ideal for walking or touring, cycling, sightseeing or simply relaxing in beautiful and peaceful surroundings and enjoying the views out to Wild Boar Fell, Mallerstang Edge, Ash Fell and beyond. Our entrance leads straight out onto the fell, where you can have a gentle stroll along the side of Artlegarth Beck, or across Paradise (it really is called that!), or perhaps the start of a more serious day's walking. Of course, you may simply prefer to sit by the beck in our lovely grounds and look out for our visiting Red Squirrels.

Standing in the grounds of The Green, a Victorian farmhouse, our beautiful stone barn has been sympathetically converted by local craftsmen into three luxury cottages, each completely self-contained. All the cottages are very well insulated and have underfloor heating supplied by a ground source heat pump, along with a wood-burning stove in the comfortable lounge for an extra cosy touch. Within your cottage there's a washing machine and tumble dryer, and you'll find the fully fitted kitchens well equipped, including a slow-cooker crockpot if you want to come back from a day out to a welcoming casserole, and a dishwasher so that you don't have to wash up on your holiday. Additional facilities for disabled guests are available in The Carthouse. Our grounds have a BBQ and picnic benches for your use, spectacular views and abundant wildlife.
