About this property
2 bedroom accommodation in Dockray, near Ullswater
In a tranquil location, this beautifully finished barn conversion is an ideal spot for a couple or two to enjoy a Lake District break.. Ground Floor:
Living room: (6 Steps), 32" Freeview TV, DVD Player, Patio Doors Leading To Patio
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washer Dryer
Bedroom 1: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
Wet Room: Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet
First Floor:
Bedroom 2: Galleried, Double (4ft 6in) Bed. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair. . Courtyard with garden furniture. Bike store. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: There are 6 steps in the courtyard.. Hilltoft Barn is a large, detached barn conversion in the peaceful Cumbrian village of Dockray, just a few miles from Ullswater. This beautiful property has a mezzanine level master bedroom and provides high quality accommodation for up to four people looking to explore the Lake District around Ullswater. Entering at ground level, you take in the glorious oak beams within the property. There is a twin bedroom also on this level, as well as dining area and a well-equipped kitchen, which boasts a stone-hidden oven hood and further oak finishes consistent with the charm of the property. The spacious living room has large patio doors welcoming in the sunshine, and from here a wooden staircase leads up to a delightful mezzanine level double bedroom, furnished in oak.
Outside, there is plenty of space to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the area. You can take in the stunning views from the private furnished patio, and there is ample gravelled space to take in the vistas from all angles.
Dockray is a tiny village, but still has its own pub to wander down to for some local fayre, and the gorgeous Aira Force Waterfall is a short walk away. Further on are the ample attractions of the Lake District around Ullswater.
Energetic pursuits abound, with cycling a particularly good option, or maybe try the National Trust’s walk around Aira Force and the Gowbarrow Trail. Shop 4 miles, pub and restaurant 110 yards.
