Barn Cottage, Bassenthwaite

Barn Cottage sits in the Lake District village of Bassenthwaite, Cumbria. This converted stone barn features exposed timber beams throughout and original stonework that tells its agricultural story. The open-plan living space includes a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings after days exploring the fells.

The barn overlooks open countryside with views towards Skiddaw and the Northern Fells. Fields stretch out from the property boundary. You're in proper walking country here with footpaths leaving directly from the door.

Inside you'll find two bedrooms sleeping four guests and one bathroom. The ground floor holds an open-plan kitchen and living area with barn doors opening onto the garden. Upstairs bedrooms sit under the original roof timbers.

Keswick town centre lies 4 miles away (10 minutes). Visit Derwentwater lakeside (4 miles, 10 minutes), walk Catbells fell (5 miles, 12 minutes), explore Whinlatter Forest (3 miles, 8 minutes), or tour Mirehouse historic house (1 mile, 3 minutes).
