Within the charming hamlet of Hartsop in England’s famously picturesque Lake District sits Hart Barn, a uniquely designed barn conversion in-keeping with the area’s pretty scenery. Crafted from local stone and finished with a vaulted roof of oak, this splendid space is the perfect retreat for couples wanting to explore the romantic hills and lakes of Northern England without having to choose between authenticity and luxury.

The unassuming exterior leaves your totally unprepared for the “wow” of the interior. The moment you walk into the kitchen and feel the underfloor heating tingle your toes, you’ll know that you’ve picked the ideal base from which to take in the world-famous Lake District. A striking curved wall of brilliant red carves the downstairs area into a high spec modern kitchen/diner replete with Neff appliances on one side, and a hanging space for coats on the other. There is also a useful utility/drying room at the back of the kitchen.

The fabulous square spiral staircase made from polished oak railway sleepers and brushed stainless steel leads you up to the first floor living area. This staircase is designed by the architect owner and is lit from within casting a warm red light through the heart of the building. The living area has a Morso freestanding woodburning stove (with free logs) and a large sofa with footstool to relax on with a book and complimentary glass of prosecco as you gaze out over the lake and fells outside. On this floor is the gorgeous limestone bathroom with freestanding bath, separate shower and Phillipe Stark fittings. Then up the central spiral stairs again to the romantic bedroom nestled in the green oak roof structure with a gallery onto the living room below.

After a long day hiking through the surrounding national park, you’re guaranteed a great night’s sleep on this elegant kingsize bed with Egyptian cotton bedlinen. Enjoy a long soak in the freestanding bath when you come in from walking, or sit on one of the twin recliners which look out over your very own landscaped garden. From the glass table, exquisitely created from the root of a local oak tree to the hand-blown glass chandelier, everything about this magical space feels grounded in the wild and natural beauty of the area.

Although the furniture and exposed beams will remind you that you couldn’t be anywhere else in the world, this Hygge-packed cottage doesn’t lack for luxury and entertainment. With superfast WiFi, a Bose Soundock and a Sky Plus HD enabled home cinema, you can be as connected as you want to be. Whatever the weather, you’ll be equipped for another day’s walking with a full laundry/drying room complete with a washer-dryer, and a stack of fluffy White Company towels.

Cumbria’s Lake District attracts visitors from all over the world with its dramatic landscape; plunging valleys, shimmering lakes, and craggy fells abound in this most beautiful corner of England. Nestled in Hartsop, you won’t be far from the main amenities found in Ambleside, a pretty town just 7 miles away by car and several pubs and shops within 3 miles….however with the fabulous walks, incredible diversity of wildlife and secret swimming spots on your doorstep you will feel a million miles away from the busy modern world.

  • Stay Lamding Live

    Stay Lambing Live is a sumptuously converted barn surrounded by atmospheric moorland, gorgeous rolling hillsides and quaint stone villages. The interior of this property showcases the beautiful limestone that this area is famous for - from the handcrafted tiles in the hallway and bathrooms, to an impressive stone fireplace in the lounge. Beautiful raw materials and skilled workmanship really shine throughout this property, setting this exquisite barn in a league of its own. Set on a 400 acre farm, you are warmly welcomed to roll up your sleeves and get involved with life on the farm. Help feed the animals up on the moors or even experience lambing first-hand.

Whichever route you take, this property is a pastoral dream come true. The charming limestone tile flooring in the hallway gives you a glimpse of the incredible quality of workmanship in this property. And with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor you can be assured of a warm welcome. The three double en suite bedrooms all have large luxurious beds, soft linens and handsome oak furniture.

In the immediate local area there are breathtaking walks for all levels - from riverside strolls to hikes across the moors. The local market town of Kirkby Stephens is even Cumbria’s first ‘Walkers are Welcome’ town.

  • Netherby Treehouse

    • 2 nights min stay

    Cute as they come and with views out to the Scottish border, the Netherby Estate Treehouse is the place to be for a Cumbrian adventure. The River Esk is the soothing backdrop for this elevated luxury cabin that comes with its own hot tub and sits around seven miles from Gretna Green. The treehouse enjoys a secluded spot on the estate, with fields and parkland extending all around. You will immediately appreciate the tranquil atmosphere, with little more than the burble of the river and the baa of nearby sheep to trouble you. The open-plan interior packs in a wood-burner and a cosy corner to curl up with a book or enjoy a meal. A kitchen with modern oven, a sink and all the bits and pieces you will need makes it easy to prepare one, and there’s another space to sit down and dine out on the balcony. A welcome hamper ensures there will be something to get you started on arrival. Netherby Estate Treehouse makes clever use of its space to accommodate up to four guests. You have a double bed in the main living area, and a mezzanine level above has a further two single beds, ideal for children, accessed via a ladder. Everyone will be warm and comfy as the wood-burning stove does its business – and the bedding and soft furnishings are rather nice too. This is the perfect spot to put on your walking boots and head out to explore the Cumbrian countryside. You are likely to see plenty of deer before you even leave the estate. The border location gives you the chance to discover beautiful areas of two countries – you’re only 30 miles from Dumfries to the west, and delights of the Solway Coast are closer still. To the north-east, the expansive Kielder Forest will enchant lovers of the outdoor lifestyle, and you’re only 30 minutes from the North Pennines. The city of Carlisle, around 16 miles from the estate, has historic attractions including a medieval castle – and, of course, Hadrian’s Wall just a short distance away. Days out at Carlisle Racecourse or the Talkin Tarn Country Park (perfect for walking, cycling and water-sports), will provide plenty of holiday memories.

The countryside setting makes them the perfect place for pets to unwind too, so it’s a real plus that dogs are welcome at each of the Hidden River Cabins. All cabins are equipped with a hot tub looking out over the river, and an outdoor seating area for dining and relaxing. There are three cabins which sleep six: Roe Deer, Otterstone and Kingfisher, which feature two double bedrooms and a sofa-bed. All have that unmistakable log cabin ambience, from the modern bathroom to the fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable living area, complete with TV and DVD. Two larger cabins, Bluebell and Foxglove, add a pair of twin rooms to the mix, making them ideal for groups of up to ten. Two of the bedrooms have a TV and these two cabins benefit from the luxury of underfloor heating. If you fancy getting social around a barbecue when the weather is fine, you can rent one for the duration of your stay at any of the cabins.

They’re all kitted out with luxury bed linens, duvets and logs for the wood burner, so all you need do is turn up and make yourself comfortable.

Exploring the best of the borders is easy, with the likes of Gretna Green, Carlisle Castle and the Solway Coast not far away. The area is great for all kinds of activities too, from paintballing to flying and 4x4 off-roading… or perhaps you would prefer the simple pleasures of walks in the woods or down by the river. Be sure to drop by the Hidden River Café too, where there is always something tasty being cooked up, whatever the time of day.
