Lilac Barn
Lilac Barn is a fabulous ground-floor barn conversion located within a private gravel courtyard on a 17th Century Farmstead. It has been recently renovated to a beautifully high standard and is an ideal base from which to explore the Lake District and Eden Valley with family or friends.It is easy to see that Lilac Barn has been thoughtfully designed with its guests in mind, from the welcome packs for guests (including the 4-legged variety) to its stylishly seamless accessibility features. It is wheelchair accessible throughout with wide doors and low switches and has been decorated with gorgeous antiques and pieces that have been so lovingly restored.
We were blown away by how much care, consideration, and love has gone into making a stay at Lilac Barn something that everyone can enjoy.
The property opens into a fabulously cosy yet spacious open plan kitchen/living space, with a modern kitchen complete with all the mod-cons you should need during your stay, plus a washer/dryer for those longer stays and a large coat stand handy for all those layers and leads.In the corner sits a dining table with plenty of space for 4 guests. Then into the living area where you will find two incredibly comfortable sofas that easily provide seating for 4 adults, and the beautifully luxurious curtains along with a cosy cast iron electric stove give the feeling of a lovely and warm 'country cottage' experience.
A wide hallway takes you to the two bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, both beautifully decorated with fresh sage and grey tones and adorned with complimentary decor including lovingly restored wardrobes and beds. At the end of the hallway, you will find the large wet room that has been amazingly designed to have discreet yet practical support/grab rails and a seat that blends in with the rest of the modern aesthetic of the room. The soft furnishings have been chosen carefully, with the bedding and towels from Bedeck, providing you with a real sense of style and comfort during your stay.
The Welcome to Lilac Barn Handbook provides guests with all the information they need to feel right at home, and a welcome pack is provided to guests with luxury tea bags, coffee, sugar, milk & butter, homemade jam, home baking and a loaf of bread. A welcome pack is also provided for any dogs staying with you, with a dog towel, metal dog bowl and a few treats for our four-legged visitors!

About the location
Our Welcome Handbook and Reading Basket provide guests with our Top Ten recommended activities and a vast array of other visits and opportunities on offer locally.
There is a designated dog walk area in the village just a couple of minutes' walk from the property, and there are many walking routes in the area to suit all ages and abilities.
The popular visitor attraction, Lowther Castle, is just a 5 min drive away, as is Askham Hall and the Lakeland Birds of Prey Centre. The popular market town of Penrith, is also just a 5 min drive Northwards.
In our humble opinion, Ullswater is the most impressive of all the Cumbrian Lakes. We are so lucky that it is just a very short drive away with its Steamer boat tours, Aira Force waterfall, and stunning walks for all abilities.
The Rheged Visitors Centre on the outskirts of the Penrith just off the A66, is a favourite with visitors, providing all-weather activities and entertainment for all ages. Guests wishing to venture into the National Park can reach Keswick in 25 minutes. The Eden Valley features some beautiful hidden gems such as the picturesque villages of Morland, Crosby Ravensworth & Dufton.
The train routes from Penrith are regular and varied. However, the Settle to Carlisle railway is only 10 mins away in Langwathby. This is a great way to see some amazing views of the countryside!
