Brockram Barn sleeps up to 8 (4 bedrooms - 2 super-king and 2 zip-link); 3 en suite and 1 next to family bathroom.

The barn can be rented as a whole or each unit individually, but please note there are no interconnecting doors.

The old barn doors are fully glazed, and with large bi-fold doors and large sky lights in the roof; the barns are light and spacious, offering beautiful views out. Underfloor heating is provided by our ground source heat pump.

Each unit has a large open plan kitchen diner with a log burner, table football and a selection of board games to allow for traditional family entertainment. There is flexibility in either barn to provide dining space for up to 16.

The units have their own gardens and barbecues, and a shared fire pit. Many of our guests enjoy toasting marshmallows and star gazing around the fire. The farm track is 0.5 miles long and is ideal for young children to ride their bikes up and down or go on short walks.

Walking directly from the property is easy with the new Pennine Journey passing the entrance to Low Ploughlands. The surrounding area also allows you to access the Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, Howgills and eastern fells of the Lake District. The new Yorkshire Dales National Park boundary is only 3 miles from the barns; the topography at this point is limestone pavements interspersed with moorland and upland farms. There are also plenty of family friendly local walks including a short walk from the front door down to the River Eden where you can skim stones or let your children fish with the nets provided.

For those who love fishing, day tickets can also be purchased in the local post office to fish along the Eden that passes close by - an easy walk allowing you to spend hours or just nip down for a quick fish.

In spring the moorland nesting birds such as curlew, lapwing and oyster catchers fly in and can be seen in the fields around the barn. There are many other birds that pass through on their migrations and are a joy to see.
