Occupying a secluded position with open views over the Ellen Valley, these imaginative barn conversions offer a luxurious and peaceful base from which to explore the northern fells, lakes and Solway Coast.

Equipped to a high standard with spacious living areas on the first floor and bedrooms below, the cottages sleep 3 - 6 people, and share a Laundry Room, Games Room and large grassed picnic/BBQ area.

The Cottages are situated approximately 10 miles from Keswick and 8 from Cockermouth, on a quiet country lane and are 10 minutes walk from the traditional Cumbrian village of Ireby with its two pubs. The area is ideal for walking and cycling with many footpaths and bridleways nearby.
