There is a gravelled courtyard to the front, facing South with far-reaching views across the North Pennines which is enclosed by a drystone wall and a set of gates. Patio area with garden furniture with seating for eight/ten guests (Garden furniture is provided from April to October inclusive).

The Byre sits in a working farm therefore farm machinery may be in use around this area, and to the barns to the rear of the property. There may also be some movement of sheep and cattle. It is absolutely essential that children are supervised by adults at all times. This also includes the immediate outdoor area around the hot tub.

Guests should be aware that the area around the property is farmland. Under no circumstances should guests walk through fields with cattle, or during lambing and calving season. Dogs must be supervised and kept on leads at all times.

Available at an additional charge. Maximum six guests. Rules of use apply. It is important to note that the hot tub is drained, cleaned and refilled at the end of every stay therefore if guests have departed on the day of your arrival, the hot tub will take time to re-heat to the correct temperature and will not be available for use until the following day. Important – please note that the hot tub needs daily testing and will require attendance by a member of the property team to check the PH levels.  Privacy will be respected but this is essential for health & safety purposes. If guests are not agreeable to daily checks, then regrettably the hot tub will have to be removed from use for the duration of the stay. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
