The Sheepfold

Barn conversion in the Old Sheep Pens

beneath the mountains

Breathtaking views

Sleep 2

The Sheepfold is our hidden gem, a converted barn that was once home to our sheep during the lively lambing season. Now transformed into a cosy bedroom, it sits perfectly between the farmyard and the mountains, offering breathtaking views of the eastern slopes of Ullock Pike, Carl Side, and Long Side, creating an unforgettable backdrop to your stay.

With a window overlooking the sheep pen, be sure to close it before you drift off to sleep, or you might have a woolly surprise at sunrise!

Whether you opt for the king-sized bed or twin beds, you’ll find a comfy spot to relax after a day of exploring. Located on the lower ground floor, the room offers a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.

The luxury en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in power shower, and modern amenities such as a flat-screen TV with streaming services, mini fridge, and tea/coffee making facilities ensure your stay is both comfortable and convenient. This charming room is perfect for recharging after a day full of adventure.
