The Byre was the term for the building where the cattle were kept but they would have to have been very athletic animals as this Byre is on three floors and sleeps five. The ground floor has an entrance hall, shower room and bedroom with a single bed and a set of bunk beds. The lounge/kitchen/dining area is on the first floor. There is a large attic style double bedroom on the second floor, again with provision for a single "Z bed". This cottage has full oil fired central heating but no wood burning stove or open fire. There is a lawned area outside the cottage with a picnic table and views similar to the Stables Cottage.

About the farm

A 17th century Lakeland hill farm with magnificent views from the sea to the highest point in England. The farm is situated at the foot of the beautiful Kentmere valley between the county town of Kendal and Lake Windermere. The four cottages are traditionally constructed in stone and slate, each with its own garden and private parking. Decor is traditional, with rustic beams, full carpeting and comfortable furniture each with central heating, either oil or fired or electric storage.

The farm has its own private water supply which is fed from a spring up on the fell. The water is beautiful and is tested by the local authority.The farm is 1 mile outside the village of Staveley with its shops, pubs, church, railway station and bus routes. Windermere the largest of the lakes and Kendal the county town are each only 5 miles away.
