Description
Welcome to Bretherdale Barn a perfect property for large families and friends to stay together in a rural setting with incredible countryside views. Nestled in the Lake District National Park, guests can enjoy each other’s company amongst the green fields full of sheep and horses.
The barn sleeps up to ten people across five bedrooms and has been lovingly refurbished using local materials throughout, perfectly blending the characterful old building with luxury, modern fixtures, and fittings.
On the ground floor are three bedrooms (all with ensuite shower rooms) along with a family bathroom with large bath. Of the three ground floor bedrooms, there is 1x king-sized bedroom, 1x twin room and 1x double. There is also a handy utility room and WC on the ground floor with a washing machine and tumble dryer. The ground floor has underfloor, central heating.
The primary living space is to be found on the first floor which is accessed via two staircases. The large, open plan living, dining and kitchen area is ideal for socialising and is full of luxury touches. The impressive chandelier on the stairway, the engineered oak flooring and the hanging wood-burning stove all provide a sense of splendour. With guests staying in with a lit fire during the cooler Autumn and Winter months, there is also the widescreen TV with Sky package which can also be enjoyed. The kitchen is well stocked with all the amenities guests require to cook up a feast including a double oven and a large American-style fridge/freezer with wine chiller.
The fourth and fifth bedrooms can be found upstairs on the second floor, off a galleried hallway with small library area. One bedroom has a king size bed, the other a twin and both come with their own ensuite shower-over-bath.
Outside, there is a patio area and outdoor dining furniture to seat ten people so guests can enjoy their meals in the warmer summer months taking in the wonderful countryside views. There's also a BBQ available for guests' use. The leisure building housing the sauna, steam room, showers and games room is next door. This facility is shared with Bretherdale Hall and there is a board provided for guests to book out morning, afternoon, or evening sessions for their own private use. There is a separate drying room with spa towels for guests to use during their stay.
There is enough undercover parking for up to four cars with additional parking for at least another six cars on site. Please note that Bretherdale Hall is next door, and both share the sauna and games room facility.
Located only a few miles from Tebay off jct 38 of the M6, it's easy to reach from different parts of the UK and the perfect location from which to explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lake District. Kendal, Windermere and Ambleside are all within easy reach and offer wonderful days out whatever the time of year. Kendal is the nearest town and is full of historic character, with its web of interweaving alleyways and cobbled yards. The town is home to plenty of passionate artisans - if you love food and drink, you’ll love Kendal. Guests can browse the farm shops, visit local bakers and brewers or check out the local delicacies at the weekly market.
This property is ideal for families and friends. Please note when booking this property does not accept any stag/hen parties and will result in a termination of your reservation without refund.

It was clear that the property had not been inspected recently, there were no darts for the dartboard and only one damaged ball for the table tennis. The table tennis table was covered in bird pooh! We had a chef on the Saturday night and had to clean the kitchen before he arrived as it was not particularly clean. The downstairs bedrooms are noisy in terms of people walking on the 1st floor, if you are a light sleeper not ideal. We enjoyed our stay but it fell short of being exceptional!

As other reviewers have commented, the creaky floor is an issue & was impossible to ignore. Having to take all our recycling home with us wasn't ideal

Sauna was not quite as hot as expected but I guess it being a home sauna, this can be expected. The steam room had a seat which looked like it has some form of mouldrotting. Floorboards were quite squeaky. There were 3 bed rooms on the ground floor, see more
Sauna was not quite as hot as expected but I guess it being a home sauna, this can be expected. The steam room had a seat which looked like it has some form of mouldrotting. Floorboards were quite squeaky. There were 3 bed rooms on the ground floor, all which were pretty much directly under the open plan living / dining / kitchen area, so you could be woken up by anyone who is quite heavy footed. There was a lack of flexibility with an early check in request. Had to strip the bedsheets and towels into one pile as well as get rid of your own recycling.

The worst thing has got to be without a doubt, the floor on the 1st floor (main area & kitchen) it creaks so badly that for anyone sleeping in the 3 rooms below its sounds like torrential rain in the rooms, no chance you can sleep through it. 1 ofsee more
The worst thing has got to be without a doubt, the floor on the 1st floor (main area & kitchen) it creaks so badly that for anyone sleeping in the 3 rooms below its sounds like torrential rain in the rooms, no chance you can sleep through it. 1 of the en suite bathrooms shower door was broke & the parts left on the toilet system, & couldn’t get the tap to open in the sink, shower couldn’t be used, reported it to owners, another en suite shower didn’t have a door on it at all. Also some of the seats in the steam room where broke, which you couldn’t see until you were in there & then not very well due to the intense steam which was brilliant, lucky only 3 of us used the steam room. Also having to take away your own recycling, but if that’s the council rules then nothing much you can do about that. The place is lovely, but it looking a bit tired in places, couch need a good clean as do places like round the tap bases & in cupboard etc.
