Perched high above the Lune Valley near Kendal, this striking stone barn blends rural warmth with contemporary comfort. Around 75 minutes from Manchester, it’s a family retreat framed by sweeping views and fresh Cumbrian air. Renovated with care, every detail—from underfloor heating to panoramic glass walls—creates a space that feels both grounded and uplifting.

Share stories around the glowing fire while music drifts through the integrated sound system and the kids compete at pool. The open kitchen welcomes family breakfasts that spill out through bi-fold doors onto the garden terrace. Outside, parents unwind in the hot tub as children play on the lawn, before everyone gathers for barbecue suppers beneath a canopy of stars. A sauna, games area, and open-plan design keep every generation happy.

Days unfold easily here—slow mornings with coffee and mountain views, playful afternoons in the games room, and evenings filled with laughter, food, and music. As night falls, the barn glows softly against the hills, wrapping your family in comfort, warmth, and shared memories that last well beyond your stay.

Plan your family escape today and make your Lake District memories together.
