Welcome to Dufton Barn Holidays

As you arrive into the beautiful village of Dufton in the Eden Valley you immediately start to sense the benefit of a rural idyll in your own garden of Eden.  All around you is peaceful countryside and gentle rolling hills, away from the daily hum drum of life and the bustle of the Lake District.

Dufton Barn Holidays ticks all the boxes, as we are perfectly positioned between the Lake District and the North Yorkshire Moors, for a complete pamper break for two in luxurious Shepherds View.  You can even leave your car parked up for the whole of your stay, as there are numerous walks suiting all abilities direct from the property, together with easy to follow walking guides.

We have provided everything you need to recharge your batteries, leaving you to decide how active you want to be, whether walking or cycling in the beautiful Eden Valley or just simply relaxing in the gorgeous jacuzzi bath!

“Wonderful place to spend our anniversary.  Thanks Carole and Simon for everything (your really have thought of everything).  Weather brilliant, great walks to High Cup Nick and Dufton Pike.  Enjoyed the train to Settle and back.  Hope to return soon, many thanks.  PS Welcome pack much appreciated!”

“‘Wow’.  Where do we begin.  What lovely hosts and what a lovely cottage.  Immaculate.  Wonderful welcome pack and well stocked with everything you could need.  We have been married for 30+ years and stayed in many cottages but none as wonderful as this one.  Just want to say a really big thank you to Carole and Simon for all their help & support when Congi was poorly.  We will recommend this wonderful cottage to family and friends. x.”

“Thank you – you have a beautiful house in a stunning location.  We loved the long walks, views, pub and cosy log burner.  The sheep were great neighbours.  Looking forward to returning.  Immaculate, comfortable accommodation.  Attention to detail greatly appreciated.  Don’t want to leave.  Thank you lovely hosts!”

“Thanks again for a lovely stay at SV.  Some nice weather, wildlife, walks and runs!”

“We have had the loveliest and most relaxing time here – perfect place for our wedding anniversary.  Great walks from the door with really good maps and directions.  Lovely meal at the pub – can recommend the ‘Stag Burger’ and pie of the day – and lots to visit further afield.   Thank you also for the very generous welcome goodies.”

The Eden Valley has a wonderful heritage of castles and henges, in part due to its close proximity to the Scottish Border. The attached video shows a selection of places to visit, most of which are free, and at some, like Brough Castle, you can even enjoy locally made ice cream!

It's the detail that makes the difference between an ordinary holiday cottage and a luxury holiday cottage. We provide tea, coffee pods, spices, oil, dishwasher tabs, plus many other items so you don't have to bring them. We call them essentials, and we don't charge extra for them.
We also provide a generous welcome hamper of local products, unlike most ordinary holiday cottages, where you're lucky to get milk!
