A Perfect Balance of Peace and Convenience

Tucked away in the tiny hamlet of Crookabeck, our restored barn sits along what was once the original coach road through the valley. It’s this rather special location that gives guests the best of both worlds – proper peace and quiet, with all the conveniences of village life just a gentle stroll away.

The setting is particularly lovely, as you’re properly away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist spots, yet everything you might need is easily within reach. Pop down to Patterdale village, just a few minutes away, and you’ll find a friendly shop for your essentials, plus a proper Lake District pub serving hearty meals and local ales.

What makes this spot even more special is how quickly you can get to the lake. Ullswater is only a mile from your doorstep, making it easy to enjoy early morning walks before the day tourists arrive, or evening strolls as the sun sets over the fells. The Ullswater Steamers are readily accessible too, perfect for days when you fancy exploring the lake without moving the car.

Speaking of location, the barn sits in a brilliant spot for getting out and about. You’re right in the heart of the Lake District National Park here, so whether you’re planning to explore other valleys and villages, or stick to local walks and attractions, you won’t spend hours in the car getting from place to place.

But perhaps the nicest thing about Crookabeck’s location is coming back after a day out. There’s something rather wonderful about leaving the busy village behind and returning to your peaceful spot in the hamlet, where you can truly relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings of your Lake District home-from-home.
