About Dove Tail Barn

This chic and unique couples' hideaway takes the form of a converted Lakeland barn, nestled in rural bliss and overlooking the lush Lyth Valley. A long driveway leads to the barn, with parking by the log store.

Enter via the stylish kitchen, with slate floor, matching slate worktops and everything you'll need for dining in. The lounge / dining room incorporates the barn door, with deep-cushioned furnishings, rug and woodburning stove.

The Villeroy & Bosch luxury wet room is on this floor. Upstairs to the romantic double bedroom, with a magnificent Scandinavian king-size bed, sky lights and mood lighting.

Natural Cedar Hot Tub for 2 people. Bathe in a solid cedar tub and enjoy the calming experience whilst taking in stunning views towards Gummers How.

The natural aroma of cedar in this tranquil setting is a treat for all nature lovers. The cedar tub is wood fired and takes up to 2 hours to reach bathing temperature.

Bags of Kiln dried logs are stored next to the tub at the cost of £10.00 per bag. The Lyth Valley is to the east of Lake Windermere, overlooked by the famous Lake District walks on Scout Scar and Whitbarrow Scar.

The sheltered valley is famous for its damson orchards, with gorgeous white blossom in spring. The landscapes are scattered with country homes and rural Lake District cottages, as well as a choice of several acclaimed Lake District country pubs, such as The Punch Bowl at Crosthwaite, the Black Labrador at Underbarrow, and the Mason's Arms at Strawberry Bank.

A romantic walk nearby is the ascent of Gummers How, which offers simply wonderful views of Lake Windermere from the top. The Cartmel Fell tarns walk is also a lovely afternoon's worth, starting at Bowland Bridge's historic church.

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 8 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 11 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 16 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 16 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 17 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.
