Description
Mary Meadows Barn is a lovely, detached barn conversion nestled within the peaceful hamlet of Dockray, only one and half miles from the beautiful Ullswater Lake.
Well placed to enjoy walks from the door, including nearby Aira Force, the property is suitable for families or couples wanting to explore the delights of the Lake District, with easy access to the charming villages of Watermillock and Pooley Bridge.
You enter Mary Meadows Barn into a tiled hallway which leads off to the bedrooms, both of which are placed on the ground-floor making them suitable for those with limited mobility.
The bedrooms include a king-size and twin bed with an en-suite shower, furnished in neutral colours and housing ample storage for all your walking gear.
The main shower room serves the king-size bedroom, offering guests plenty of space to prepare for the day.
Climb the stairs to find the spacious open-plan living area, which is sure to become the social point of the property, with feature A-frame beams and tiled floors, this is a lovely space to gather each evening and reflect on the day’s events.
A well-equipped kitchen provides all the necessary appliances and cooking utensils to whip up a hearty feast, while the sitting area is complemented with two sofas and a TV for entertainment.
French doors lead out to the patio area, complete with a set of tables and chairs where you can sit back and admire the views of open farmland and moor covered hills within the distance.
Outdoor activity can be enjoyed from the door with the beauty of Aira Force waterfall just around the corner, as well as activities at nearby Rookin Hall where you can have a go at sailing, canoeing, archery and horse riding.
For a gentler option, perhaps take a cruise on Ullswater Lake, or head out of the district to the charming neighbouring town of Penrith, home to a small selection of independent shops and a supermarket for picking up any essentials.
Further afield, head south to the popular tourist locations of Ambleside, Bowness and Windermere, packed with family attractions, eateries and plenty of unique shops worth browsing.
Mary Meadows Barn has all the facilities you will need for a relaxing Lake District getaway, any time of year.

What guests are saying
This was our second stay at this property and we are already planning our return.
This is a spacious, nicely furnished property in a good location and the countryside views from the patio doors are lovely, even on a rainy day. The property is, on the whole, spotlessly clean and well maintained. The only reasons we have not given the highest rating in these categories is because the toilet seat in the main bathroom is rather yellowed on the underside and could possibly do with replacing, and one of the towels had some dirty marks on it. Also, one of the light bulbs in the kitchen area needs replacing and we did find it rather dark - particularly since it took us until day five to remember that there were some additional lights located under the wall units! That aside, the kitchen was very well equipped and we appreciated the useful little extras like dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and kitchen roll. The bottle of wine also went down very nicely! Overall an excellent property and we would not hesitate to recommend it.
We are delighted with the situation of the cottage.
Beautiful views and seeing sheep grazing by our bedroom windows when we woke up!!! Being only minutes from restaurant/pub is a bonus. We enjoyed our walks from cottage to Aira Force and to Gowbarrow. The only draw back were the flies! It was very hot during our stay but opening the patio doors meant flies in the house. Thanks for the fly spray! We used a lot!!! Maybe a fly screen might be useful???
A very nice and cosy cottage in a great scenery.
We liked it very much! Will highly recommend to others to stay here.
