“Had a great week at Rusby Barn.”

Well worth the long drive up to enjoy this wonderful area of the country. One of the best Sykes bookings we have made.....but they have all been good !! Will certainly keep this property in mind for when we return...and hopefully sight Scafell Pike which played games with us on this visit hiding behind the clouds. Great location and lots of nice walks out of the front door. Good location for days out and a very tranquil place to return to at the end of the day. Dog really enjoyed the safe garden area and seeing a lot of friends pass by the gate each evening.

“Rusby Barn was a fantastic, clean cottage with fabulous views.”

The garden was enclosed so our dog could run free and she loved it too, sat watching the sheep! The cottage is situated in a nice quiet area but is a nice base for accessibility to lots of different places to visit. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and chocolates and had the pleasure of meeting the owners just before we left, who where very nice. So all in all a fantastic family break and would definitely go back.

“Rusby barn is a rare find and a gem.”

No wonder it has won awards. It is faultless. Attention to detail, equipment, cleanliness, extra comfy beds it really is gorgeous. Our flat coat retriever had a brilliant garden to run mad in even his own throw for setee. Would highly recommend.

“Just Perfect!!!”

We have just left Rusby Barn..... So perfect and quaint in every way. There is everything you need and want. It was a wee bit of luxury for my Mum & Dad having an ensuite and there is 2 in this house and a downstairs bathroom. Would definitely recommend and revisit.

“A beautiful property which catered for all our needs.”

Very friendly owners, excellent extra touches: e.g., wine and chocolates on arrival, extensive local information, leaflets with local walks and things to do. This property was perfect for our two dogs as it had an enclosed garden so they could run around freely, we also liked the dog blanket so they could sit on the settee.

The property

A delightful barn conversion situated on the outskirts of Ousby, close to the pretty Cumbrian village of Melmerby.

This cottage is perfect for family and friends looking to stay in this stunning area on the edge of the Pennines and close to both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Park.

This quality barn conversion has been refurbished to a superb standard with beams, Kirkstone slate floors, en-suite bathrooms and even has underfloor heating at an ambient temperature powered by an air-source heat pump for your comfort.

Not forgetting there is also a woodburner to enjoy on cool nights after a day spent exploring this fantastic area.

Providing fantastic accommodation, this quality barn conversion has been thoughtfully designed to combine character with modern comforts with TVs in the bedrooms, contemporary lighting and a well-equipped kitchen.

The property takes full advantage of its picturesque location as fantastic countryside and fell views are visible from every window.

On warm days why not step outside on the patio and enjoy an alfresco meal or your favourite drink with the Pennines or sunset as your backdrop.

Ousby itself offers a pub whilst close by Melmerby also has pubs and an award-winning tea room, bakery and a village shop.

This part of Cumbria has some beautiful villages to explore with Langwathby and Lazonby with its summer open air swimming pool close by.

The area is a joy for walkers and cyclists and why not try a different mode of transport and hop on the Carlisle to Settle railway just a few miles away and discover some of Yorkshire.

Pooley Bridge on Ullswater with its historic steamer is just 25 minutes away and Keswick is 35 minutes so plenty of exploring awaits you in this striking region.

This is a superb Ousby barn to return to at the end of your day and is an ideal base to enjoy all year round.
