Old Byre Cottage, Newbiggin-on-Lune

Old Byre Cottage is a beautifully restored stone barn conversion in Brough, Cumbria, set within the Eden Valley. Original features include exposed stone walls and traditional timber beams that frame the living spaces. The barn sits in a peaceful rural location with open views across rolling countryside and distant fells.

The setting offers complete countryside calm. Fields stretch out in every direction. You can see the Pennines from the windows. Sheep graze in neighbouring pastures and footpaths lead straight from the door.

Inside you'll find two bedrooms sleeping four guests. The main bedroom has a king-size bed whilst the second offers twin singles. There's one bathroom with shower. The open-plan living area combines kitchen, dining and sitting space under those original beams. A wood-burning stove warms the room on cooler evenings.

Penrith sits 12 miles north (20 minutes) with shops and restaurants. Appleby-in-Westmorland is 6 miles away (10 minutes). The Lake District National Park boundary lies 15 miles west (25 minutes). High Cup Gill walking trail starts 8 miles south (15 minutes).

Old Byre Cottage suits couples and small families wanting genuine countryside peace in a characterful barn conversion.
