LITTLE BAY BARN

About this property

This barn conversion is located in an area of peace and tranquility with views to the River Caldew. You can even bring your pony with stabling available and the owners are happy to guide you on local treks.

The fell side village of Hesket Newmarket is located on the edge of the national park in the Caldbeck fells and has a shop and The Old Crown Inn which produces its own ales. Caldbeck is 5 miles to the west with village shop, pubs and cafe. For the more energetic there is fell walking, cycling and pony trekking along the Skiddaw range which leads to Keswick. Ullswater and Keswick are both within a 20 minute drive where a wealth of shops, pubs and restaurants await.

Little Bay Barn is a quaint, quirky barn conversion that exudes peace and tranquility, located between Hesket Newmarket (2.5 miles) and Mungrisdale (3 miles), the barn sits within an 11 acre field sloping down to the River Caldew. The accommodation has an eclectic mixture of antique furniture with local and equestrian pictures to add to the cosy ambience. The owner who lives in the adjoining cottage can provide advice on ‘pony trekking routes' and with its own stables it is an ideal retreat for a ‘pony holiday'.
