Halton Gill Bunkbarn, Littondale, Yorkshire Dales

Halton Gill Bunk Barn is situated at the head of Littondale, the quietest and most beautiful of the Yorkshire Dales, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It lies at the foot of Pen-y-ghent, one of the famous Three Peaks, near the Pennine Way and the Dales Way, and the area is criss-crossed by a number of public footpaths.

The Bunk Barn sleeps 40 people in 8 separate bedrooms.

At the entrance is a large, efficient drying room, where we also keep the play field games and equipment. The covered entrance porch leads to a large slate-flagged reception hall. In the hall are some comfy chairs and a football table.

The 8 fully carpeted bedrooms, all with bunks, are on the ground floor, sleeping 3x8, 2x2, 3x4. One "4", the leader's room, is a totally self-contained unit, with its own kitchenette, toilet and separate entrance. All the bunks have a blanket and pillow. Please bring your own sleeping bag or duvet, pillow case and personal towel.

The 10 seater Finnish Sauna is also on the ground floor, as are the separate ladies and gents facilities, each with 2 toilets, 2 showers and 4 wash basins.

Upstairs is a large comfortable common room with an excellent pool table (free to use and with a ping-pong top) and seating all round. Next to it the kitchen-dining room easily seats 40 and is very well equipped with 2 range cookers, 5 fridges, 4 sinks, 2 microwaves, 2 Dualit toasters and kettles, a freezer and all the equipment you could possibly want in order to enjoy your self-catering. We provide washing-up liquid, tea towels and bin liners.

The Bunkbarn is just outside the hamlet of Halton Gill. It is safe, quiet and private, and is open all year round. The building is warm, welcoming and spacious, with oil-fired central heating, free WiFi and phone, ample parking and a well-maintained one acre play field.
