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!

“We have spent a very peaceful, totally relaxing Christmas here @ Shepherd’s View.  We couldn’t have asked for more.  Delightful accommodation providing everything we needed and much more.  Can’t believe we were so warm we didn’t have to light the log burner!!!  Thank you Simon and Carole.  Best wishes for a great 2025. xx”

“Thank you so much Carole and Simon for letting us stay at your fabulous barn and for ordering such wonderful weather whilst we were here.  We did make the most of it.  Dufton Pike although we couldn’t find the ‘not so steep’ part!!  Also went to High Cup Nick.  What a dramatic place that is.  Thanks so much for the maps.  But getting back to the barn – it is wonderful, so well equipped and the view – Wow!!  See you again for sure.”

“What can we say that hasn’t already been said – many times over!  Beautiful, comfortable, immaculate – I don’t want to go home.  I hope we can come in Spring.  Thank you xx.”

“We do not want to leave!  We have had the best holiday we ever had in the Uk.  Excellent accommodation, excellent hosts and the weather has been very kind.  It’s the best place we’ve ever stayed in.  If Simon & Carole haven’t provided it – you don’t need it!   We are already checking availability for 2025 and recommended it to our family.  Thank you for a wonderful time – till we meet again!”

“Carole and Simon are wonderful hosts and there is nothing that hasn’t been thought about!  What an amazing, luxurious place to stay, that was everything and more that we had hoped for – peace and comfort!!  All the information packs and walks were awesome and we made good use of them.  Dexter loved his doggy hamper and we enjoyed all of the adult hamper.  Big thanks and hope to be back soon.”
