LIFE AT BARROW HOUSE

More than a
place to sleep.

The best moments aren't always the ones you planned.

Slow mornings over coffee. Boots drying after a day on the fells. Conversations around the table that stretch long into the evening.

At Barrow House, there's space to come together and room to find a quiet corner. Make yourself at home, in whatever way feels right for you.

WHERE LIFE IS SHARED

DERWENTWATER · BORROWDALE

A little closer
to the wild.

Step outside and the adventure begins. Woodland paths, the sound of falling water, and the shores of Derwentwater are all waiting to be explored.

worth knowing.

A few helpful details to make settling in easy. And if there's anything else you'd like to know, we're always happy to help.

Have another question?
Is food available?

What are the bathroom facilities?

Most accommodation uses shared facilities, with some en-suite rooms available in the house. There are a number of shower and toilet 'zones' around the house and a dedicated female-only area too.

Can we cook our own meals?

Yes. Guests have access to shared self-catering kitchen facilities if you'd prefer to prepare your own food.

Can we bring our dog?

Dogs are welcome in our camping pods but not in the main house. We kindly ask dogs to be kept on a lead while onsite. There are plenty of spaces on the doorstep for a run around. Please let us know when booking if you're bringing your four-legged companion.

Is there parking?

Yes. Free parking is available on site for our guests.

Do we need to bring bedding?

No need to pack bed linen. It's provided as part of your stay. Please bring your own towel if possible. No space in your bag? You can rent one here for your stay.
