This isn't just an accommodation, it is work of art. An old sheep barn has been converted into a thoroughly modern and comfortable lodging while retaining the charm of the building. It is within walking distance of a great little market town (the butcher at the Texaco station (!) is fantastic) and both the heart of the Pennines and the Lake District are less than an hour away.
