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!

“Immaculate. Well equipped & beautifully appointed.  Carole & Simon were most welcoming & helpful.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, walking eating and sleeping!  Most relaxing.  Thank you.”

“A glorious place to be!  Quite the best self catering cottage we have stayed in.  We will miss it – and the pub!  See you soon.”

“Carole & Simon have thought of everything to make your stay feel amazing,  The welcome hamper, bed sheets, toiletries and the bottle of milk make it a 5 star experience.  3 days wasn’t enough really – we could have easily stayed longer.  PS I don’t think we have stayed in such a CLEAN place!”

“What an amazing holiday cottage, with so many walks right on the doorstep.  An exceptional property, which is extremely well thought out – 5 star luxury!  Thank you so much for the hamper.  We did a lot of exploring, and made it up to High Cup Nick – amazing views and a lovely place to picnic.  Highly recommended.  Thank you!!!”

“Stumbled across SV on line, and one look at the photos and read of the reviews meant we booked immediately.  And it did not disappoint! Five star luxury – really appreciated all the little touches and attention to detail.  Loved the bath!  The laminated maps & walks were so helpful & we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area every day, relaxing the beautiful garden and just gazing at that amazing view!  Thanks for having us.”

We have 2 dog friendly properties, but you don’t have to have a dog to stay! If you are looking for a quiet luxurious getaway for a few days in stunning surroundings then Shepherds View is the choice for you. Alternatively you may be walking one of several long distance trails that come through Dufton, and need somewhere warm and cosy in stepping distance of a superb pub @thestaginn, then the Potting Shed is for you.

Whatever your choice we have tried to think of everything you might need for your stay.

You’re Welcome!
