Barn Owl at North Plain Farm oozes luxury from the moment you arrive and is fully wheelchair accessible. Set back from a quiet lane, this solid Cumbrian stone, end-link barn conversion enjoys open views over the Solway Coast and towards Scotland. You can relax on the landscaped front seating area, with seating for all, watch the breath-taking sunsets and open views as you enjoy good company and a glass of wine. In warmer months, the outside dining area and charcoal/wood barbecue/fire pit makes al fresco dining a must.

Move into the large living space with original stone and brick walls, complimented sympathetically with additional Cumbrian brick walls and Cumbrian sandstone headers. The comfortable open-plan living area accommodates 6-7 people, creating a place where everyone can relax in comfort, including people in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. There is a wall mounted 75" TV on display, which is perfect for those movie nights in with popcorn and nibbles. Located just off the living area is a generously sized downstairs bedroom with a kingsize bed and wet room with a roll-in shower facility, grab rails, and accessible sink and toilet. It also features the original stone walls, as well as having its own door to the property via a ramp. The well-equipped kitchen and dining area is perfect for mealtimes, and as an additional seating area to make the most of this spacious accommodation. The sumptuous upstairs bedrooms include an en-suite master bedroom, a bunk room with its own en-suite toilet, and a further kingsize room. The outdoor spaces are accessible to people with a variety of mobility requirements.

The area is brimming with activities and open coastline, and is ideal for exploring Hadrian’s Wall, Carlisle and the northern Lake District and Scottish borders. Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the adjacent nature reserve is home to a variety of native wildlife.

Both families really enjoyed the stay at the barn owl.

Both families really enjoyed the stay at the barn owl. It was a great place to relax and chill out as a group. The barn was clean and had everything we required for the stay, Kelly was very accommodating and provided some local knowledge and guidance for the stay. We would stay again thanks
