About this cottage rental

When you stay with us we take extra care for you to relax and enjoy your break away from home, so we completely clean the barn ourselves between bookings. Living next door we’re also on hand with local knowledge about the area and to answer any questions. Lowside barn sleeps a maximum of 5 adults plus 1 child.
We’re in an idyllic quiet conservation area with a lawned garden and many scenic walks from the house. A mile away in Askham there’s a well stocked village shop and great cosy pub.

We offer a warm welcome to our well equipped barn conversion next to our home, a former farmhouse built in 1687 in the picturesque conservation village of Helton. Helton is situated in the quiet NE corner of the Lake District National Park, half way between Ullswater (5miles) and Haweswater (6miles), within easy access of all the Park's mountains, lakes and fells, with a wide variety of walks and outdoor activities, some great village pubs, cafes and restaurants close by. It really is a home away from home at affordable prices for couples, families or groups of friends, with all you need to create a really memorable Lakeland holiday!

We pride ourselves in our attention to every detail to make your stay as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Not only do we clean the property ourselves to maintain a consistently high standard of presentation, we also re-wash all the cutlery, glassware and cups through the dishwasher between bookings.

We have equipped and decorated the barn for you to relax in an atmosphere of calm tranquility, in light airy rooms. We have combined antique and contemporary furniture and paintings in a traditional Lakeland country style. Upstairs, you'll love the stylish and comfortable bedrooms: the master bedroom has a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom; the pretty double room has its own basin and wonderful views across the garden and valley beyond; and the small third bedroom with bunk beds and skylight, best suited for children and teenagers, or one adult. After a day out amongst the fells, you'll look forward to a wonderful night's sleep on high quality mattresses, with soft goose down duvets and pillows, Egyptian cotton bedding and towels. Downstairs is the second bathroom with walk-in shower, toilet and basin.

The cosy beamed living room has views over the garden, fields beyond and across the Lowther valley. It has a log burner, comfy sofas and dining area, with flat screen TV, DVD, CD player, wi-fi, well stocked bookcase and games. The well-equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, washer dryer, fridge freezer, electric cooker and microwave, and a range of cooking/roasting/baking equipment.

In summer you'll love relaxing with a barbecue and glass of wine in our garden, enjoying the expansive view across the valley towards Knipe Scar. In winter, what better way to end your day than to snuggle up in front of the glowing log burner for a cosy candlelit night in, after a day out exploring all that the Lake District has to offer? Or treat yourselves to dining out in one of our local award-winning pubs or restaurants. The cosy Punchbowl Inn, The Queen's Head and The Michelin-starred Allium restaurant at Askham Hall are only a mile away in the next village! An excellent alternative is the George & Dragon gastro-pub in Clifton, less than 10mins drive.
