Ewe Time Holiday Barn, Kelbrook, Lancashire

This 18th century barn on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border has been lovingly restored to provide a fantastic social space for up to 20 people. Open since summer 2021, the barn has been designed as a versatile venue ideal for family celebrations, friends' reunions, walking/cycling holidays, wellbeing or artistic retreats, corporate events and school trips.

The property is on a farm in the centre of pretty Kelbrook village, a few strides away from miles of open countryside... yet close to major transport links and bustling urban centres.

Please note this is not a "party barn" and because of its central village location we do have noise restrictions.

Inside, the huge 30-foot living room has comfy seating for 20+ people, a wood-burning stove, dartboard and pool table. Downstairs, the kitchen-through-dining room has ample room for 20 guests on tables which can be separated or pushed together. A washing machine and dryer can be found in the laundry/boot room.

Outside is a large south-facing garden and patio area, with seating for 20 people, barbecue and hot tub.

There are 7 bedrooms, all with en suite facilities, 4 of which are on the ground floor, including one adapted for disabled guests. Rooms can host double beds, singles or a combination of both, comfortably sleeping up to 20 people.

Located a 10 minute drive from the M65, the barn is 8 miles from the historic market town of Skipton in North Yorkshire, known as the “Gateway to the Dales”, and a good base for climbing Yorkshire's Three Peaks.

Plenty of shops and restaurants are available in our nearby towns, and the village boasts an excellent gastro-pub, a 2 minute walk from the barn, as well as a fish and chip shop.

There are public footpaths and cycle trails in and around the village, including the Pennine Bridleway, the Pennine Way and the Gisburn Forest mountain bike track in the Forest of Bowland. The Leeds-Liverpool Canal with its accessible towpath is just a mile away, and a short drive from the barn is the magnificent Pendle Hill, noted for its infamous witches.

Within an hour's drive are the vibrant cities of Leeds and Manchester, or the majestic mountains of the Lake District.
