A stylish barn conversion for a relaxing self-catering holiday.
Slate steps lead into the property and you can relax in front of a cosy fire and Smart TV in the lounge. A well equipped kitchen is the perfect place to prepare romantic meals, which can be enjoyed at the breakfast bar. The comfortable king size bedroom is complemented with a delightful en-suite shower room and the property has a secure storage space for outdoor gear. A cot and high chair can also be provided on request.
Situated in Outgate, Barn End is perfectly located for a range of stunning walks. Stroll to the shores of Lake Windermere or enjoy the popular Tarn Howes loop. Just a short walk from the property, you’ll find the Outgate Inn and a short drive brings you to the famous Drunken Duck Inn where delicious evening meals and local ale are served.
For memorable day trips, the pretty village of Hawkshead is a five minute drive in one direction and the vibrant village of Ambleside is a five minute drive in the other.
Relax and unwind with your loved one in this cosy barn conversion.
Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.

Ideally situated in a quiet little village and quite central for touring around. Had a slight problem with the heated towell rail in that it was stuck on a temperature of 23 degrees but was quickly sorted after making a quick telephone call. Would suggest a comment book as people like to comment about places they would recommend visiting and restaurants or pubs which are worth a visit although we discovered several by ourselves. Barn cottage had everything we wanted and both my wife and I had a very enjoyable holiday staying there

Yes at the moment Outgate Inn is shut but there are other pubs nearby in Hawkshead or Drunken Duck . It is near walking and cycling routes . As said in other reviews only slight blemish is the property being on top of quite a busy road ...didn't bother me but may annoy some ...overall I had an excellent stay in Lake District.
