Riddings Barn, Howgill

Riddings Barn is a converted stone barn in the heart of the Lake District, just outside Kendal in Cumbria. Original features include exposed timber beams, thick stone walls and a wood-burning stove in the sitting room. The barn sleeps six guests and sits within peaceful countryside.

The barn overlooks open fields and rolling fells. You'll wake to views of grazing sheep and dry stone walls. The rural setting gives you direct access to footpaths leading into the surrounding hills.

Three bedrooms include a king-size, a double and a twin. There's one bathroom with a shower over the bath. The open-plan living area combines kitchen, dining and sitting space under vaulted ceilings. Original barn doors and stone flooring add character throughout.

Kendal town centre is 3 miles away (8 minutes). Lake Windermere sits 6 miles south (15 minutes). Sizergh Castle lies 2 miles north (6 minutes). The Dales Way footpath passes nearby for long-distance walking.
