Description

Sheepfold Barn welcomes you into the impressive entrance hallway with feature galleried landing and vaulted ceiling. There is plenty of space for coats, boots and walking gear here, or you can pop them in the utility cloak room.

It is easy to make yourself at home, relax and recharge in the comfort of the spacious lounge area. There is warm lighting, three plush sofas to curl up on, and a Smart TV to enjoy your favourite show or film in the evenings.

To the back of the property is the large, sociable kitchen-diner with island unit and bar stools. There is everything you need and more; butler's sink, fridge-freezer, wine cooler, range cooker, and dishwasher. Throw together a feast, then dine overlooking the fabulous uninterrupted views.

There is a boutique-style WC and basin on the ground floor.

Sheepfold Barn has four beautiful, individually-styled bedrooms.

On the ground floor, you'll find a king-sized bedroom, complete with en-suite.

Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms: one room has a superking bed and en-suite shower room; the next has a king-size bed, again with en-suite shower room, and finally is the bunk bedroom, ideal for younger members of the group.

Each bedroom will be made up with luxury crisp white bed linen and towels for your arrival.

Outside there is a large gravel parking area for a number of vehicles, a patio area with table and chairs for al-fresco dining on an inviting summer's day, overlooking the large lawned garden and a hot tub.

Complimentary WiFi is provided. There is underfloor heating throughout for extra comfort.

Motherby sits ideally between the neighbouring towns of Keswick and Penrith. Private, without the business of central Keswick, but with the practicality of non-tourist-filled Penrith nearby, Motherby is the perfect location for a Lake District escape.

We'd recommend visiting Motherby by car, though it is possible to arrive via train at Penrith North Lakes railway station and use a local taxi service to reach Sheepfold Barn.

There's plenty to do in and around Motherby, but we'd recommend Rheged Discovery Centre, with variable exhibitions, and plenty to do for visitors of all ages, including activities, shopping, and eating (and who doesn't love that?)

Sheepfold
The house is beautiful & everyone walked away wanting all of the features in the kitchen! 8 of us stayed, beds were really comfortable, heating was comfortable, hot tub & scenery amazing. Little pub nearby for Sunday lunch was lovely. Small niggles - the table doesn't comfortably fit 8 people on (which is such a shame as meals with those views were amazing!) and everyone can't really watch the TV together in the living room as the tv is behind one of the sofas & comfortably only fits 6-7 people (so we didn't spend much time in the living room). Could do with a little bit of maintenance as a few things were looking tired/used & high ceilings need the cobwebs cleaning! Oh and hangers outside hot tub for dressing gowns/towels! Overall we had a lovely time, it was remote & peaceful which is what we wanted.

Hi, Gemma! It sounds like you've had a great time at Sheepfold Barn. We're super jealous of the kitchen too! There is everything you could need and more: butler's sink, fridge-freezer, wine cooler, range cooker, and dishwasher. Complimentary WiFi is provided. There is underfloor heating throughout for extra comfort. Motherby sits ideally between the neighbouring towns of Keswick and Penrith. Private, without the business of central Keswick, but with the practicality of non-tourist-filled Penrith nearby, Motherby is the perfect location for a Lake District escape. We welcome all feedback, positive or constructive, and we'll ensure that your comments are brought to the attention of the housekeeping team and the property owner. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we appreciate it! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely ,uninterrupted break in a beautiful setting
We are just recently back from a long weekend at the Sheepfold Barn and would return in a heartbeat. Place is spacious, with ample of daylight, peaceful ,modern and in such a quiet location, that you will struggle to match it if that is what you are looking for. House has everything you need , for washing things (plates or clothes), cooking to hot tub to enjoy the lovely frosty mornings ( in our case) .Looots of parking space. There was only 6 of us ,but I believe the house sleeps 8 max and even then there would be plenty of space for everyone.Comfy beds. Staff were also super helpful prior to our arrival with some of the questions we had. 10 out of 10 .

Hello, Arturs! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. It sounds like you've had a lovely time at Sheepfold Barn. The location is amazing; it's great to be away from all the business of the surrounding towns, and the views are incredible. Our team are very friendly, and always happy to make your stay special. We hope you enjoyed the complimentary welcome pack! We can't wait to see you all again next time. Sheepfold is even lovelier in the summertime, and so is the hot tub! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Communication was excellent, such a friendly and helpful team, everything about the property was stunning, clean,no clutter and it had everything you could ever need. The hot tub was just the icing on the cake especially on the clear nights just beautiful. Thank you for a lovely relaxing break away.
We needed an overnight stop with four small children and a six month retriever puppy on our way to Scotland, and our only regret about our stay was that we could not stay longer. It was a fabulous rental, in such a beautiful setting, would loved to have spent more time there. Beautifully presented with everything you need for a family holiday. An added bonus was that the grounds were really secure amongst all the fields of sheep. Our puppy was very interested in them but could observe safely from behind the fence and burn off some energy after a long drive. The children loved the hot tub which was ready for use when we got there. The next morning it was a short drive to explore Pooley Bridge. Hopefully we will be back.
We booked Sheepfold Barn for our 30th wedding anniversary and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The location of Sheepfold Barn was perfect – tucked away on a private road with beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was immaculate and exactly as described. The farm setting was lovely, with sheep grazing in the adjacent field. Our family and two dogs absolutely loved it too, with plenty of lovely walks nearby and the Lakes within easy driving distance. It was so peaceful that we didn’t feel like leaving the property – we just wanted to relax, enjoy the privacy, and breathe in the fresh air. Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful property – we hope to return again in the future.
