An ultra-luxurious four-bedroom barn conversion. The Sunday Times
We’ve kept the character of our Barn – beams, stone, iron-work - but its comforts are very much contemporary.
It has a sociable living space, a fabulous kitchen and four sumptuous bedrooms, each with its own sparkling bathroom, the dreamiest of beds, luxe Hungarian goose-down duvets and gorgeous Cumbrian toiletries from The Bath House… It’s the little things that count and we have lots of those to surprise you.
We can provide you with wholesome Simple Suppers, ready for you to warm through in the oven and enjoy. Tasty comforting dishes such as beef in beer, fish pie and lasagne, complemented with a couple of bottles of wine and finished off with a good cheeseboard.
We make the most of the best of Cumbria’s ingredients and our kitchen garden supplies our vegetables and herbs. Our developing orchard can contribute apples, pears and plums, many with centuries-old local connections…We love for kids to get involved and pick their own.
Our Threshing Barn is located in a peaceful little hamlet called Stockdalewath, close to Carlisle in Cumbria. It has an idyllic setting with wonderful places to eat just a short drive away and is within easy reach of Hadrian's Wall and the spectacular lakes and fells of the English Lake District. There are great Walks from the door, plus Fishing, Horse riding, Shooting, Sailing and Cycling can all be enjoyed nearby.
We are Anna and Mark Aston and our children are Nathan, Archie and Connie. The Threshing Barn has been a labour of love for us, so it’s with pride that we invite you here. What we hope sets us apart is our attention to detail… We have tried to be thoughtful in every element of the accommodation we offer.
Our fondest memories are of the places where we have been truly taken care of and these are the kind of memories we want to create for our guests.
The Threshing Barn is a self catering property and it sleeps up to eight guests, plus can accommodate travel cots for infants in two rooms. It is taken on an exclusive-use basis so you have the whole Barn to yourselves and it costs from £350 per night, with a two night minimum stay. If you don’t want to cook we can provide you with Simple Suppers from £25 per person, so you can just relax! We look forward to welcoming you!
