A lovely stone-built wing of a large Dales farmhouse situated on the owner's working farm boasting views over the open fields towards the hillside in the distance, just one mile from Austwick. This retreat is beautifully presented and makes an ideal getaway for friends or couples wishing to enjoy a peaceful holiday. Upon entering you will arrive at a warm and homely sitting room, with neutral armchairs resting before a woodburner perfect for cosying up on a cooler evening. After an adventure filled day, you can relax and watch TV or socialise together discussing your recent adventures as well as those to come. The stone feature wall is a nice addition to the room. Across the way, a stylish kitchen/diner offers a welcoming place to gather with your loved ones and prepare your favourite meals from morning through to evening. On the ground floor you will also find a cloakroom. When it comes to night time, you can choose from either of the super king-size bedrooms, both having an en-suite, the first with a shower, and the second a bath with a shower over, or a single room. With both king size rooms being zip and link style, you can alter the sleeping arrangements to match your preferences and for an added touch, views of the countryside create a refreshing landscape to wake up to.One single room.

    Our Scotties, Angus and Islay, had a fantastic time as well. How many properties have a dog exercise field? Thanks again and can't wait to come back.

    Very warm welcome from our hosts Gaynor and Neil who live in the farm. The barn was spotlessly clean and all the appliances were top class. The ground floor is open plan and huge. You may think that this would make it feel cold but with the under floor heating it was toasty without using the log burner. Large double bed was very comfortable. Private enclosed garden is a must for us with our dogs. There is also a large dog exercise field which is adjacent to the horse harness racing track and our dogs loved trying to out sprint the horses when they were being trained. Before anybody says that this was irresponsible, it was carried out with the full permission of Neil who was driving the horses at the time. The area is spectacular with lots of top class eating places. I couldn't recommend Orcaber Barn more highly. The owners also have a caravan and camping park across the road but unless you went looking for it you wouldn't know that it was there .
