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!

“Our second visit to SV, and won’t be our last.  A lovely relaxing pre Christmas break, not great weather but still got a dryish walk every day.”

“Don’t usually have a problem with words – but this stay could easily exhaust superlatives!! Wonderful all round – fabulous hosts (thank you !) and scenery to stun and marvel at! High Cup Nick worked its magic – and we got soaked too!  Great pub, great people, a great stay and all basically spiffing and spectacular.  Thanks again – a long way from Cornwall – but we’ll be back!!”

“Third time visit and this time was just as amazing – thank you!  High Cup Nick all the way round was great, hiking up the Pike and lots of other local walks from the very helpful info book.  Many thanks and we’ll be back.”

“Hygge Heaven… as the Danes would say!  This little Haven is immaculate & nothing has been overlooked, such is the attention to detail.  The information book was very helpful & helped us streamline our daily walks with Laddie.  Simon and Carole are refreshingly ‘old style’ hosts.  The little touches of the ‘welcome hamper’ and ‘doggy pack’ were particularly ‘CLASS’.  It’s a 10 from us!”

“Loved everything about our short stay.  Even Storm Amy couldn’t spoil it.  The Barn was perfect and the location wonderful.  Hope to come back some day.  Thanks xx.”
