About this property
Resting in the quaint village of Brigsteer, Cumbria, is Willow Tree Barn Pod, a delightful single-storey dwelling inviting two guests and two furry companions.
Enveloped by various amenities and attractions dotted across the Lake District National Park, whilst enjoying a rural setting, this studio-style pod offers the ideal base for a romantic break.
Enter the open-plan living space, where you can relax upon the plush sofa, prepare meals with the helping hand of a ceramic hob and microwave, and dine over a home-cooked meal for two. After an adventure-filled day, refresh in the sleek shower room, before cosying up in the double bed, ready for another day of exploring Cumbria. If you can tear yourself away from your abode, head to Lakeland Maze Farm Park, Kendal Museum and National Trust - Sizergh, all just a short car journey away, offering something for all types of interests. Heading towards Lake Windermere, enjoy rural tours of the county upon Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, try your hand at various water sports, such as kayaking and wakeboarding upon the lake itself, or choose an indoor activity, such as touring the Lakes Aquarium. Higher up into the national park, take a stroll around the pretty grounds of Holehird Gardens, brush up on your local knowledge at Windermere Jetty Museum - Stories of boats and steam, or head to Blackwell if arts and crafts are your interest. Book your next romantic break at Willow Tree Barn Pod.
A hamlet called Brigsteer can be found in Cumbria, midway between the cities of Helsington and Levens and around five miles from Kendal. Scout Scar overlooks the settlement of Brigsteer, which is situated on the edge of the Lyth valley. A village hall and a nearby bar called The Wheatsheaf Inn are among the town's facilities. In the village of Brigsteer, three farms are still in operation today, while many more developments have been added afterwards. Additional services may be found in nearby Levens, including a general store/newsagent and a bar. Levens is made up of a collection of elegant, stone-built traditional homes, cottages, and barn conversions that are surrounded by undeveloped countryside, a nature reserve, and a variety of flora and fauna. Being referred to be the Southern Gateway to the Lakes, Kendal is further away.

We were so appreciative of the groceries and wine that greeted us as a welcome gift! The landscape was beautiful and the donkeys were lovely and friendly. The place itself is tucked away, yet near enough to Kendal for daily trips.

Everything we needed for a lovely stay. Nice quiet and picturesque location which is nicely out the way but not far from local attractions. Was a very comfortable stay would definitely recommend and would definitely come back! Great for our 2 little dogs too! They loved it! Many thanks for a fab stay! Harry and tash x
