Meadow Syke Barn

Nestled in a hillside on a working family farm in the Lake District, Meadow Syke Barn is an eco-friendly barn conversion with ground source heating and solar panels, offering contemporary accommodation whilst retaining many original features. Even in this peaceful corner of Cumbria, you’ll stay connected thanks to Starlink WiFi, offering super-fast internet for work or play.

Surrounded by rolling hillsides, open farmland and wildflower meadows, you are certain to see some of the local birds or wildlife, including red squirrels that visit daily. This beautifully renovated cottage sleeps up to four adults and offers an open plan living, dining and fully equipped kitchen area.

The entrance opens into a gated yard with a private patio and hot tub, providing wonderful views over the valley. Springtime brings a special kind of magic to the area.

During lambing season, the property requires a minimum stay of seven nights to ensure a peaceful environment for both guests and the animals. It’s a wonderful time to visit, as the surrounding fields come alive with the bleats of newborn lambs and the soft stirrings of new life, a chance to slow down and connect with the authentic pace of country life, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the season.

Tucked away in the heart of Cumbria, this charming cottage offers a gateway to one of the UK’s most beloved regions, where dramatic landscapes meet a thriving food scene and a deep sense of community. A gentle stroll takes you into the traditional Lakeland village of Bampton, away from the busier central lakes, complete with a community-run village shop, children’s play area, pub, and the café is a warm and welcoming spot to enjoy homemade cakes, sandwiches, and locally sourced treats, perfect for a light lunch or a picnic to take on your adventures.
