The EcoBarn is placed in rather a beautiful location, within the valley of Dentdale ~ Yorkshire Dales National Park, surrounded by trees, wildlife and farmland. The stillness and tranquility of this special space will share itself with you, offering fond memories - recharging and inspiring nostalgia.
Perfect for the soul and the environment alike - much consideration has been taken, where possible, to save and preserve our beautiful planet ~ reusing, recycling and renovating. Fleece has been used to insulate the barn ~ the kitchen is made from up-cycled church pews ~ much of the furniture has been refurbished. The barn is heated by a ground source heat pump, rainwater is collected for flushing the toilets and the water source is fresh from the fells. Most of the taps, and both showers are operated by water saving taps - the pressure is gravity operated. Our energy provider comes from a 100% renewable source, solar, wind and hydro.
The barn sleeps 8 people, with one double bedroom, and two further bedrooms with sturdy bunk beds, two showers and three toilets. There is a lovely fully equipped kitchen, housing a large Range and open plan dining and socialising area, which includes a piano - for those wishing to escape and practise their love of music, the barn couldn’t be more perfect. The outdoor space is delightful, you’ll enjoy a natural wooded garden and to the front a stone paved sitting area with magnificent views. The rising of the sun can be embraced from the outdoor space, perfect for an early yoga or meditation session - this activity however is dependent upon the number of cars brought.
The barn is available for organised retreats, and for those who are wishing to enjoy the stillness and peace of this beautiful area. It’s the perfect base for exploring this part of the world, be it by foot, from the front door, the walking is truly magnificent, cycling, wild swimming, caving and horse riding - if you love the outdoors, you’ll love it here, if you love good food, equally so ~ Dent, which you can walk to in 25 minutes has a wonderful collection of cafes and two iconic Dales pubs. A short and beautiful drive through either Dentdale or Barbondale will take you to Sedbergh or Kirkby Lonsdale, both open up a delightful and colourful choice of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops.
The night skies here are absolutely incredible, be it by the naked eye, or by telescope ~ you can sit for hours in the starry brightness. At certain times of the year, the moon rises from behind the hill ~ a truly breathtaking experience.
Me, my mother and father live next to the barn, however neither of the homes are overlooked, nor ones privacy compromised. Bookings are for a minimum of 3 nights. If you’d like to book your holiday or have any enquires, please do contact me, i most welcome a chat.
Much kindness
