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!

“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.”

“What a fantastic place to stay.  Everything possible has been thought of.  It’s such a comfortable cottage and we will be back, and we’ll be recommending it to everyone.  Thank you so much for a relaxing holiday. xx ”

I'm not surprised people want to return. This is an amazing accommodation to stay, with great walking right from the door 🙂

Feel the same. So looking forward to when we have the opportunity to return.

Cooler evenings now, low lying mists and gorgeous sunsets. A time to wrap up warm and enjoy the wintry sun. ... See MoreSee Less
