Townfoot Barn, EV & dog friendly

Equidistant between the popular villages of Windermere and Ambleside, but tucked away in the quiet Troutbeck Valley, is our stunning detached barn. Dog friendly and EV friendly, with a 7kW electric vehicle charger, it is also ideal as a romantic bolt-hole or as a base for exploring the Lakes. Spa, sauna, swimming pool and gym access at a local club is included, free with your stay. The Barn has amazing views across the valley - lush verdant meadows, grazed by the traditional Herdwick sheep. The space On the ground floor is a stylish, modern kitchen with granite worktops and high quality appliances – a full height fridge/freezer, dishwasher, induction hob, fan-assisted oven, microwave and Nespresso coffee pod machine. The views from the window over the valley are fantastic. There is a useful drying/cloak room with a Bosch washer/drier. Upstairs is a large living space with a Sony 4kTV with Apple Airplay and Chromecast, so you can stream content from your own devices on the screen. There is also a Blu-ray player and Bluetooth sound-bar providing lots of entertainment options while snuggled on the comfy sofas. The views get even better from the large upstairs window in this room. Adjacent, there is a romantic and stylish bedroom with a large, comfy king-size bed and solid oak furniture. There is a porcelain tiled bathroom just off the bedroom. This has a shower over the bath and a cute tiny window overlooking a waterfall. There is a balcony door in the bedroom, with a stone staircase leading outside. There are two patio areas outside - one next to a waterfall (provided that the fells have been wet enough!) and another at the opposite end of the Barn, with a table and chairs, a charcoal BBQ and a great view of the valley. A backup power generator can be activated in the event of a power cut. Guest access The Lakes has a good bus service. For those with a car, there is a parking space just outside the barn. This is fitted with a 7kW EV charger for those who wish to bring and charge an electric vehicle. Other things to note We are happy to welcome up to two well behaved dogs.
