1 Peggies Barn
No 1 Peggies Barn is a cosy one-bedroom cottage in the peaceful Lyvennet Valley. Wildlife and birdlife are abundant, and the dark skies allow for spectacular stargazing on a clear night. This cottage is the perfect choice for a relaxing break or a walking holiday.
This cottage for two is conveniently within easy reach of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and the Pennines area of outstanding natural beauty so you'll be spoilt for choice.
Access the property from the paved patio into the entrance hall with coat hooks. Off the entrance halls is the lovely open-plan living area, a great space to relax with a good book or perhaps stream a film on Netflix (own account required).
In the same room is the modern kitchen, which is very well equipped and complete with modern appliances, including a dishwasher and induction hob. You should have no trouble cooking up a meal; alternatively, why not walk on the lane to Kings Meaburn and grab a bite to eat at the White Horse Inn, a fabulous country pub with good food and real ales?
Also on the ground floor is the utility room with a washing machine and the WC.
Upstairs is the spacious bedroom with a super-king-size zip & link bed and en-suite facilities, including a walk-in shower, bath, basin and toilet. The bed can be split into two single beds on request.
No 1 sits next door to the larger three-bedroom No 2 Peggies Barn, which can be rented together if needed to extend occupancy to eight guests. Please note that while there is sufficient crockery, cutlery, etc. in No 2, the dining table seats only six guests.

About the location
Nestled within the picturesque and tranquil Lyvennet Valley, Maulds Meaburn is the nearest village. This charming village boasts a rich history, an idyllic location, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing escape. Activities include off the beaten track country walks or a great network of quiet lanes for cycling. There is also a very well regarded pub (The White Horse) just under two miles away in Kings Meaburn
A Village Steeped in History
Maulds Meaburn's story stretches back to the 12th century when King Henry II divided the lands of Meaburn. One portion went to Sir Hugh de Morville, and the other to his sister, Maud de Veteripont. Sir Hugh's favour waned, leading the King to reclaim his land, which became known as King's Meaburn. Maud's land, however, remained hers; thus, Maulds Meaburn was born. The village has passed through various families over the centuries, adding layers to its unique heritage. It is a lovely spot to relax with the River Lyvvenet running through the meadowland that separates the two parts of the village.
A Tranquil Escape in the Dales
Beauty lies in its serenity. The village itself is a delightful collection of traditional cottages lining the banks of the river. The surrounding landscape is a tapestry of rolling hills, lush meadows, and an 'undiscovered' feel. Despite its tranquillity, Maulds Meaburn isn't isolated. The village is conveniently located just 13 miles from the bustling town of Penrith (close to Ullswater), offering a range of shops, cafes, and historical attractions. The nearby small market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland is an attractive and historic place, famous for the annual Appleby Horse Fair in early June.
Why Choose Maulds Meaburn?
Maulds Meaburn caters to guests seeking a break from the everyday hustle. Here, you can explore the charming villages, embark on scenic walks along, or venture slightly further afield to discover the wonders of the Lake District, Eden Valley and Yorkshire Dales National Park. There are several designated public footpaths near the barns, and the stunning beauty of Tarn Moor and Great Asby Scar is close to Orton. The quiet country lanes are also perfect for cyclists or walks to the local pubs in Kings Meaburn or Crosby Ravensworth.
Whether you're a history buff, a nature enthusiast, or simply yearning for peace and quiet, Peggies Barns promises an unforgettable escape in the heart of one of England's most beloved landscapes.
