Howgills Barn

Create lasting memories in this exceptional barn conversion set in the foothills of the Howgill Fells. Sleeping up to 22 guests, this sprawling property is the perfect base for large groups of extended families and friends planning days of relaxation and outdoor adventure.

The ancient market town of Sedbergh (0.5 miles) offers a choice of local pubs, cafes, and shops – plus independent bookshops that earn the town the title of England's official ‘Book Town’. Keen walkers will enjoy direct access from the gardens to the Howgill Fells, while other nearby trails lead to Cautley Spout (4.5 miles), one of the UK’s highest waterfalls.

Reach the fringes of the Lake District within 12 miles, where popular spots include Windermere, Ambleside, and Coniston (all within 30 miles). Venture deeper into the Yorkshire Dales, or visit pretty towns and villages including Kirkby Lonsdale, Ingleton, Settle, and Kendal (all within 27.5 miles).

High ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and original barn windows add charm to this spacious former farm building. A reverse-level design places the living spaces on the first floor and maximises the dramatic surrounding scenery.

Step into the ground floor, where eight bedrooms are made up of four twin bedrooms, two bunk rooms with two sets of bunk beds, and two family rooms with a double bed and a single bed in each. Head upstairs to the social heart of the home and find large living areas with plenty of space to unwind, including a mezzanine area with soft seating, a TV, and a Sonos music system.

A TV with Sky awaits in a separate snug, while a games room features a pool table, table tennis and a dartboard. When it’s time to eat, commercial-style kitchens offer everything needed for catering for large groups, who can gather at the two extra-long dining tables set beneath exposed beams and skylights.
