The Workshop
Barn conversion elevated in the Old Workshop
The Workshop is a Grade II listed gem that’s seen centuries of change. Originally a humble barn, it transformed into a bustling farm workshop before being lovingly converted into a cosy bedroom. Perched above the farmyard, this elevated spot offers breathtaking views over Bassenthwaite Lake, creating a picture-perfect backdrop for your stay.
Sink into the king-sized bed and relax in the cosy sitting area, the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventures. With original Lakeland stone walls and exposed beams, this first-floor room offers a charming glimpse of the past, adding character to your stay.
Enjoy a touch of luxury with the en-suite bathroom featuring a walk-in power shower. For your convenience, modern amenities like a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a mini fridge, and tea/coffee facilities ensure you have everything you need to recharge. This inviting space is the perfect mix of comfort and charm—ready for you to make the most of your time in the Lake District.
