The property

Created by the current owner from a once derelict barn, Willow Tree Barn is a smart, contemporary, Lakeland barn conversion. Ideal for couples, families or friends and conveniently located in the pretty Lyth Valley, with easy access to Windermere and Cartmel and a great range of country pubs and lovely walks. Well presented, with a choice of two bedrooms, both with ensuites, a welcoming, open plan lounge with kitchen and large family dining table, cosy log burning stove, and a patio with lovely views, Willow Tree Barn offers comfortable and homely accommodation throughout the year. Situated in the pretty Lyth Valley, which has recently been included by Lonely Planet’ Beautiful World List list of the “most beautiful places on earth”, and on the edge of the village of Brigsteer and the popular Wheatsheaf Inn, Willow Tree Barn remains only 20 minutes away from Lake Windermere and Bowness and a similar distance from the renowned “foodie” destination of Cartmel home to the famous Sticky Toffee Pudding and the acclaimed and Michelin award-winning and acclaimed L’Enclume restaurants which are ranked amongst the finest places to eat in the UK.

Location This super self-catering property in the Lyth Valley takes you away from busier Lake District holiday locations, and into a divine rural landscape all of your own that has been included by Lonely Planet list of “the most beautiful places on earth”. The Lyth Valley lies behind Cartmel Fell to the east of Lake Windermere. The valley is known for its serene agricultural landscapes, its vibrant damson blossom (and harvest – lookout for locally made damson jam and damson gin from the valley in the local artisan food and farm shops) in spring, and its widely-acclaimed Lake District gastropubs including The Punchbowl at Crosthwaite and The Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank and Hare and Hounds at Bowland Bridge. The popular Wheatsheaf Inn is a ten to fifteen minute walk from Willow Tree Barn. This unspoilt medieval village of Cartmel is situated in a quiet valley in one of England's most outstanding areas of natural beauty on the fringe of the Lake District National Park is only a fifteen minute drive from Willow Tree Barn. Offering stunning views of the South Lakeland District fells and countryside, Cartmel has grown up around its famous 12th Century medieval Priory Church. It is a special place where ancient history and tradition mingle effortlessly with the present day.Although steeped in history, Cartmel is not trapped in time and the village offers today's visitors many modern surprises in the form of fine quality attractions, shops, a wide variety of traditional Lakeland inns and cutting edge gourmet restaurants including the internationally acclaimed Michelin Star restaurant, L'Enclume. Around the village square, you will discover a delightful assortment of genuine 16th - 18th century buildings. All this and the famous Cartmel racecourse providing national hunt racing in its most original format is just off the centre of the village square. With its party crowds and funfair, Cartmel rekindles the social gathering tradition of the original steeple to steeplechases. A picture postcard sleepy village so close to the southern tip of Lake Windermere with everything you could wish for.
