The barn was specially converted in 1990 for holiday use, and can sleep up to ten adults plus two children. Great for family get-together or for parties of walkers and friends! Here you can really enjoy each other’s company in the middle of lovely countryside, but with the delights of Keswick just 2 miles away.
The heart of the accommodation is the superb lounge with its coal fire for those cooler nights (coal provided) and the separate kitchen and dining area, all twenty feet square of it, with patio windows looking out due South over that magnificent view. Here there’s plenty of room to play games together, chat, watch the television (one in each room) or a video, or enjoy each other’s company over a leisurely meal. Outside on the patio is a great place to relax after a hard day out on the fells with a drink and a snack to watch the sun go down over Bassenthwaite Lake.
The three bedrooms on the first floor share a shower room and all have built in wardrobes. One has a double bed, one is twin bedded, and the smallest has a set of 6 ft. bunks, which are really only suitable for children. Upstairs again to the top floor brings three more bedrooms, a double and two twins, with a very pleasant bathroom. All the rooms up here have Velux roof windows. Bedding in the Barn is sheets and duvets, all provided, though again you need to bring your own towels.
The kitchen area has all home comforts, including dishwasher, microwave, electric cooker, fridge etc. A separate utility room houses the washing machine, tumble drier and freezer. There is also a cot, an iron and an ironing board. Heating is by electric storage heaters, with ancillary electric fires, and the coal fire in the lounge.

Local activities in and around Applethwaite, North
Keswick is a lovely Lakeland town, with outdoor shops, a theatre, a cinema and of course Lake Derwentwater. Here you can rent all sorts of boat or just walk alongside the lake.
There are thousands of walks of every type, from the gentlest to the most taxing. Keswick is noted as 'the adventure capital' of England, and there are opportunities to hire equipment and training for sailing, canoeing, mountain biking, horse riding, quad-biking, paragliding... any sport you like, really.
There are also lots of places to visit: castles, stately homes, museums, exhibitions, the Whinlatter forestry centre and 'Go-Ape' high wire course, and the famous Ospreys on Bassenthwaite Lake. You could easily spend a fortnight here and do no walking, if that's your choice! We can't promise every day will be sunny, but we can promise that even if it rains there will be lots of things to do.
