5 Bedroom Cottage in Bretherdale

Welcome to Bretherdale Barn a perfect property for large families and friends to stay together in a rural setting with incredible countryside views. Nestled in the Lake District National Park, guests can enjoy each other's company amongst the green fields full of sheep and horses.
The barn sleeps up to ten people across five bedrooms and has been lovingly refurbished using local materials throughout, perfectly blending the characterful old building with luxury, modern fixtures, and fittings.
On the ground floor are three bedrooms (all with ensuite shower rooms) along with a family bathroom with large bath. Of the three ground floor bedrooms, there is 1x king-sized bedroom, 1x twin room and 1x double. There is also a handy utility room and WC on the ground floor with a washing machine and tumble dryer. The ground floor has underfloor, central heating.
The primary living space is to be found on the first floor which is accessed via two staircases. The large, open plan living, dining and kitchen area is ideal for socialising and is full of luxury touches. The impressive chandelier on the stairway, the engineered oak flooring and the hanging wood-burning stove all provide a sense of splendour. With guests staying in with a lit fire during the cooler Autumn and Winter months, there is also the widescreen TV with Amazon Prime Video and Netflix which can also be enjoyed. The kitchen is well stocked with all the amenities guests require to cook up a feast including a double oven and a large American-style fridge/freezer with wine chiller.
The fourth and fifth bedrooms can be found upstairs on the second floor, off a galleried hallway with small library area. One bedroom has a king size bed, the other a twin and both come with their own ensuite shower-over-bath.
Outside, there is a patio area and outdoor dining furniture to seat ten people so guests can enjoy their meals in the warmer summer months taking in the wonderful countryside views. Guests have use of an outdoor sauna, and the leisure building housing the games room is next door. This facility is shared with Bretherdale Hall and there is a board provided for guests to book out morning, afternoon, or evening sessions for their own private use. There is a separate drying room with spa towels for guests to use during their stay.
There is enough undercover parking for up to four cars with additional parking for at least another six cars on site. Please note that Bretherdale Hall is next door, and both share games room facility.

Joe Jul 30, 2025 07:00:00 AM

Morven E. Feb 28, 2025 11:15:40 PM
Summary: Beautiful, cosy property. Great place for familes and friends to come together.Very well equipped kitchen. Set in a beautiful and peaceful location.
Adam Feb 27, 2025 08:00:00 AM
Summary: Spacious house with everything you could possibly need plus the advantage of the steam room and sauna. Peaceful rural surroundings perfect to unwind in. We couldn’t have asked for a better house to spend the weekend in.
Carol Dec 16, 2024 08:25:00 PM
Summary: We love this property for our annual family weekend away. Everyone has their own bathroom so no fighting. Everyone can do as they please during the day and then all sit down and share an evening meal. The radiator at the top of the stairs was leaking. The number of glasses and plates could do with increasing, as when serving meals there were only 10 plates, no spare ones to use for serving.
Janet N. Oct 28, 2024 01:48:15 AM
Summary: I was staying at the Barn with 5 friends as part of a walking holiday in the Lake District. The house is beautiful and is situated in a quiet, lovely spot. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was excellent and the steam room and sauna were very welcome after our long walks. The dishwasher was a bit difficult, and the cutlery basket had seen better days, but that was a tiny blemish on an otherwise perfect stay. The road in was a bit harrowing for our Canadian sensibilities! We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this property.
Harry Oct 13, 2024 11:21:51 PM
Summary: The inside was of the house was stylish with a modern rooms and a beautiful main bathroom with an XL bath, the garden had a solid bench facing a beautiful hill and the games room had a perfect pool table to play with all night 10/10 experience.
Helen Oct 5, 2024 11:24:27 PM
Summary: The kitchen was amazing and bedrooms spacious. The beds were comfortable. The views are amazing. It was clear that the property had not been inspected recently, there were no darts for the dartboard and only one damaged ball for the table tennis. The table tennis table was covered in bird pooh! We had a chef on the Saturday night and had to clean the kitchen before he arrived as it was not particularly clean. The downstairs bedrooms are noisy in terms of people walking on the 1st floor, if you are a light sleeper not ideal. We enjoyed our stay but it fell short of being exceptional!
Tracey Sep 1, 2024 07:00:00 AM
Summary: Some of the furniture was a little dated and not too comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were a great bonus. all in all a very pleasant stay.
Valentyna Mar 14, 2024 04:53:00 AM
Summary: Absolutely wonderful place to gather with friends, great living room with beautiful log burner. Would absolutely love to stay there again. Comfy beds, great location, amazing facilities. Please include oil for frying (as stated in description) and squeaky floor 🫶
