About this property
Damson Barn is simply a beautiful barn conversion in a stunning countryside location, just outside the popular town of Kirkby Lonsdale and set within a working farm. With its own hot tub, sunny patio and peaceful setting, there is no better place to spend time with the family. Over two floors, the barn boasts a light, airy sitting room with log burner, comfy sofas and French doors out onto the patio and garden. The kitchen is delightful and well-equipped, including a collection of appliances, and underfloor heating to warm those cooler nights. The dining area looks over the patio and garden, and benefits from patio doors which can be opened on a sunny evening bringing the garden into the house.
Upstairs discover the two bedrooms, one with a super king-size double bed and an en-suite shower room, whilst the second features a superking size that is zip/link and can be twin beds. There is also a lovely family bathroom. The barn boasts an open grassy garden and patio with a hot tub in a secluded corner, the perfect place to relax after a day exploring all that the local area has to offer. Damson Barn forms part of a friendly family working farm where guests can enjoy the day to day farming life, there is also plenty to do locally. The town of Kirkby Lonsdale is only three miles down the road, guaranteed to keep you busy with local shops and sights to uncover.
Have a quiet walk down to the river past the beautiful church of St Mary’s, pausing to take in ‘Ruskin’s View’ and then potter back along the river to Devils Bridge. Ingleton is seven miles away, being the gateway to the Dales and then Hawes and Settle. In the opposite direction is Kendal, the Gateway to the Lakes and Windermere. All in all, a great Barn to stay on a genuine working farm amongst some of the most beautiful and peaceful countryside in the North West.
The market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is situated in the heart of the Lune Valley, midway between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Parks. The town offers a weekly market, a number of 17th and 18th century buildings, a medieval bridge, shops and pubs. There are also three golf courses nearby, along with a variety of country walks.

Keep up the great welcoming work and weâll see you soon for sure. Everything was perfect from the lovely friendly hosts to the most relaxing peaceful setting all topped off by an immaculate and cosy barn. Weâre already looking for our next dates to return.

It was everything we could have wished. It was very clean and comfortable and had all the necessities to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. The owners of the farm were very friendly and accommodating. They were only a stone throw away if we needed them. The location of the Barn was fantastic. The lakes were only a short drive away and we were nestled at the gateway to the Yorkshire Dale's too. This has to be the best accommodation that we have stayed at with Sykes. It was the perfect break for us and we will definitely be returning.
