About Barn Howe

Barn Howe enjoys an elevated, south-facing position within the peaceful hamlet of Lyth, where far-reaching views stretch across the gently undulating valley towards Silverdale, Arnside and beyond. From first light to dusk, the outlook is ever-changing; a patchwork of fields, grazing livestock and distant fells creating a timeless Lakeland scene that connects you effortlessly to the rhythms of the countryside.

Set within generous grounds of approximately three acres, the property offers space in abundance. One of the standout features is the wide bi-folding doors, which fully open from the living areas to the garden, seamlessly connecting the house to its setting and making the most of the open views.

The gardens have been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the setting, with a south-facing terrace for soaking up the views, a hot tub for moments of relaxation, and open lawned areas ideal for families, whether that’s a kickabout on the grass or simply room to roam and unwind. Stepping inside, the house continues to impress with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

At its heart lies the open-plan kitchen and dining space, where large windows frame the surrounding landscape and an Aga adds a traditional touch, perfect for slow, sociable cooking. A separate utility, pantry and cloakroom provide practical convenience, particularly after days spent exploring the fells.

Two inviting sitting rooms offer flexibility for guests to relax and unwind; one centred around a woodburning stove for cosy evenings, ideal for settling in with a book or film. Throughout the house, thoughtful touches such as White Company hand wash, hand cream and night-time sprays in each bedroom add an extra level of care to the guest experience.

Upstairs, the bedrooms reflect the generous proportions found throughout the rest of the house. All three are spacious and well-presented, offering room to unwind while enjoying views across the countryside.

Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.

Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.

South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 16 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 18 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Bowland Wild Boar Park - PR3 2QT
about 28 Miles
Head for the Bowland Wild Boar park and we don't think you will be disappointed.  A popular attraction in Preston there is so much to do for the whole family.  From picnics, walks and wildlife to experiencing feeding the animals you are sure to have a memorable day out.  Also popular is the kids tractor play area.  For rest and relaxation the cafe is ideal serving hot drinks and snacks with a lovely view over the pond and wildlife feeding station.  The Forest of Bowland has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
