No smoking.. Minutes from Lake Ullswater. Barton Hall Farm can be found just outside Pooley Bridge, the village at the outfall of Lake Ullswater. Set in the countryside on a traditional working farm, this area offers some of the most wonderful landscapes in the region from the privacy of a secluded rural setting. It is minutes from Lake Ullswater, with its walking, water sports and ponderous steamers making their regal-like journeys up and down the lake in the shadow of the majestic fells. This area offers many forms of recreation, whatever season you choose to visit. All three cottages have been tastefully converted from original old stone farm buildings; and wherever possible the original features have been retained. Old pitch pine beams stretch unhindered through bedrooms and across stairways and the local slate and sandstone are in evidence throughout. Guests are welcomed with fresh flowers, along with well furnished comfortable holiday accommodation, wood-burning stoves and well-equipped kitchens. For good walking, fells nearby include High Street range, 1 mile, and Helvellyn, 10 miles. The market town of Penrith, 5 miles; whilst the attractions of Keswick are 14 miles. Shops, pubs and restaurants ½ mile.

If you are looking for a great base for a walking holiday, then this is it.
If you are looking for a great base for a walking holiday, then this is it. It is comfortable and roomy for two people. It is warm (we went in February), and Amanda the owner was friendly and welcoming. There are some really good walks close by. We had a really good week.
If I was to be picky, the kitchen equipment lets the cottage down a bit, but all in all, very good value for money.

On arrival we were warmly greeted by our hostess.
On arrival we were warmly greeted by our hostess. We were asked if we would prefer to use Mill Moor Cottage, as a problem with the heating was being dealt with in The Stables. So the above figures apply to that cottage but the Stables looked to be of a similar high standard.
It was comfortable, had wonderful character and ambiance, really comfortable bed. It was a pleasure to return here each day after enjoying several hours out on the cold hills surrounding Ullswater
We thoroughly enjoyed staying on this working farm.
