Description

Resting in Ellel near Lancaster, Lancashire is where you'll find this fabulous, contemporary barn conversion, Bowland Barn.

The property offers six bedrooms, sleeping a total of 13 guests, with spacious living areas, ample off-road parking and a hot tub for a comfortable retreat to suit the whole family.

Upon arrival, admire the beautifully-finished property sitting within an idyllic, rural setting, before stepping inside to make yourself at home.

Find entertainment, sumptuous leather sofas and rustic features in the social heart of the house, a sitting room with a mezzanine games room; start the woodburning stove for added comfort, gather to watch your favourite movie on the Smart TV or challenge your guests to a game of pool.

Floor to ceiling windows also frame pleasant views across the countryside, whilst the exposed brick walls retain the original character of the barn, making for a perfect spot to curl up with a good book even on rainy days.

Head into the large, spectacular kitchen/diner with all the modern-day comforts needed for a self-catering stay, including an electric double oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, ideal for the group's chef to rustle up delicious home-cooked meals.

Set the large dining table set on a beautiful tiled floor to enjoy dinner together and toast to your fabulous holiday home!

A snug sitting area awaits after dinner to sink into the sofas and catch up on the day's adventures whilst the woodburning stove gently warms the room.

After a busy day touring the city of Lancaster or walking through the diverse landscapes of the Lake District, six inviting bedrooms await for you to rest your head; choose from four doubles with en-suite shower rooms, a ground-floor double or a triple with three singles.

A convenient ground-floor bathroom hosts a bath for long, relaxing soaks in the tub as well as a walk-in shower for quick rinses.

Why not make the most of this pleasant location by dining alfresco at the outdoor seating on warmer nights?

Savour your morning coffee with some peace and quiet at the small patio area, play a game of basketball on the enclosed astro turf or let any stress roll right off your shoulders in the sheltered, outdoor hot tub.

Guests also have access to bike storage to explore more of your rural surroundings and two well-behaved pets have plenty of room to roam.

If you can tear yourself away from this divine property, be sure to spend a day in Lancaster; plenty of shops and eateries are on offer to fuel your day, whilst attractions include the 12th-century Lancaster Castle hosting a museum, talks and great activities for young historians, the fascinating Maritime Museum and the wonderful Williamson Park with its iconic domed skyline memorial offering panoramic views.

Morecambe Bay is just next door along the coast for strolling along the picturesque promenade with an ice cream in hand, letting your canine companions run free on the dog-friendly beach, before ending the day with dinner out in a seafront restaurant.

Lace up your hiking boots and venture into the Forest of Bowland AONB where unspoilt, tranquil landscapes await to escape the hustle and bustle.

This is also an excellent location for experiencing mountain hikes, river cruises and quaint villages scattered across the Lake District National Park.

Book your rural escape at Bowland Barn for a memorable holiday with your loved ones.

First The Good, Great layout, quality beds and kitchen.

The Bad, First, the drive to the property, do not book if you would like to leave with all your tyres. I did not! If you’re looking for comfort and luxury this is not the place for you. It’s cold, apparently the heating doesn’t go above 18 degrees. A few curtains and blinds would help make the place feel warmer and dull the sound. The whole house would benefit from a good quality paint on the walls and maybe the odd picture too. All in all this definitely was the wrong place for us and extremely expensive for what you got.

Absolutely brilliant.

A get together with the full family (13) 9 adults and 4 children under 7 a beautiful barn conversion linked to the owners farm house, surrounded by the countryside, cows, sheep, horses and chickens. 3 birthdays so one rowdy night however the rest were sheer relaxation as the children played. A visit to Lancaster Castle is a must.
