The Old Craft Barn

Helmside, Dent, Cumbria

Details

The Old Craft Barn is set in a truly idyllic location in Dentdale, situated beneath Helms Knott and surrounded by peaceful, sheep-grazed meadows. Ideally situated between the picturesque village of Dent, with its cobbled streets and quaint alleys and the historic market town of Sedbergh, known for its independent shops and cosy cafés, it offers a tranquil yet convenient base for exploring the area.

There are three unique bedrooms to choose from, each full of charm and character. The Hay Loft is a spacious, light-filled room that retains the original line of the hay loft and features an exposed stone wall. Furnished in light oak, it includes a king-sized bed and easy chairs, perfect for watching TV or admiring the stunning views across Comb Scar and the surrounding fells. The Dairy, a cosy ground-floor suite arranged over two levels, has a bedroom down two stone steps with a polished flagstone floor and a comfortable double bed. Its narrow windows look toward Helms Knott and the garden. The upper level features a hallway and a generous walk-in shower. The Byre is also on the ground floor but all on one level, offering twin Louis XV beds with handmade mattresses slightly wider than standard singles, and beautiful views across the meadows to Comb Scar and Middleton Fell. This room includes a spacious shower room with a large shower unit.

Guests can relax in the welcoming lounge, which offers spectacular views of Combe Scar and is an ideal space for socialising in the evening. The adjoining breakfast room has individual tables that can be rearranged for groups wishing to dine together and enjoy a first-class breakfast. Ample free off-road parking is provided in a private car park, and there is secure overnight storage for bicycles.

The Old Craft Barn offers five-star, affordable luxury for the discerning traveller. It has been honoured with a Visit England 'Rose Award' for outstanding customer service, one of only 100 accommodation providers in the country to receive this distinction. It also holds a 5 Star Visit England Gold Award and Breakfast Award, along with a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

Located just a few miles from the M6, The Old Craft Barn is an ideal stopover for those travelling between southern England and Scotland. Dentdale is often described as the most hidden and appealing of all the Yorkshire Dales, offering a perfect base for exploring both the Lake District and the Western Dales. Whether you're here for walking along The Dales Way, cycling the Lakes & Dales Loop, or simply enjoying the scenic drives, this is a place to truly unwind and enjoy the best of the countryside.
