Welcome to Dufton Barn Holidays

As you arrive into the beautiful village of Dufton in the Eden Valley you immediately start to sense the benefit of a rural idyll in your own garden of Eden.  All around you is peaceful countryside and gentle rolling hills, away from the daily hum drum of life and the bustle of the Lake District.

Dufton Barn Holidays ticks all the boxes, as we are perfectly positioned between the Lake District and the North Yorkshire Moors, for a complete pamper break for two in luxurious Shepherds View.  You can even leave your car parked up for the whole of your stay, as there are numerous walks suiting all abilities direct from the property, together with easy to follow walking guides.

We have provided everything you need to recharge your batteries, leaving you to decide how active you want to be, whether walking or cycling in the beautiful Eden Valley or just simply relaxing in the gorgeous jacuzzi bath!

“Lovely accommodation that contained everything we needed and a great location!  The lambs were a fab surprise that we all fell in love with including our little sausage dog and found ourselves sitting watching them most evenings.  Thank you for a wonderful stay – we will be back!”

“Perfect stay – thanks for all that attention to detail.  Great walking tho’ Cross Fell remains unconquered so we’ll be back!”

“Little lambs gathered by the gate on arrival, the Ewes that pretend to be distant but aren’t really, they’ll peer through the kitchen window to say ‘hello’ at breakfast.  The mustard velour chair, so good to sink into after a long walk, it’s been my saviour.  Fantastic stay, walks and memories.  High Cup Nick the classic route and heading down the valley via the rocky scree.  You only live your life once – so do it!”

“Another lovely stay!  Hope to see you again very soon. x”

“Enjoyable, comfortable stay, thank you.  The EV charger is easy to use and took pressure off looking for one.  Thank you for the welcome basket – appreciated, lovely.”
