Orchard Barn

The barn has been specially converted for holiday use, and can sleep up to twelve in seven bedrooms. Great for family get-together or for parties of walkers and friends! Here you can really enjoy each other’s company in the middle of lovely countryside, but with the delights of Keswick just 2 miles away.

The heart of the accommodation is the superb lounge with its coal fire for those cooler nights (coal provided) and the separate kitchen and dining area, all twenty feet square of it, with patio windows looking out due South over that magnificent view. Here there’s plenty of room to play games together, chat, watch the television (one each in lounge and dining area) or a DVD, or enjoy each other’s company over a leisurely meal.

The kitchen area has all home comforts, including dishwasher, microwave, electric cooker, fridge etc. A separate utility room houses the washing machine, tumble drier and freezer.

Outside on the patio is a great place to relax after a hard day out on the fells with a drink and a snack to watch the sun go down over Bassenthwaite Lake.

The three bedrooms on the first floor share a shower room and an additional WC, and all have built in wardrobes. One has a double bed, one twin beds and one is a single room. Upstairs again to the top floor brings four more bedrooms, a double and two twins and another single room. Also on this top floor is a bathroom and a shower room. All the rooms up here have Velux roof windows. Bedding in the Barn is sheets and duvets, all provided, though again you need to bring your own towels.

• There is also a cot, an iron and an ironing board.
• Heating is by electric storage heaters, with ancillary electric fires, and the coal fire in the lounge.
• Wifi is available.
