A beautiful stone-built detached cottage built in 1800, previously the village post office, set in a peaceful location in the village of Barbon just 4 miles from Kirkby Lonsdale.

It provides an ideal base for families or friends who wish to explore this wonderful area.
Boasting a large lounge with a wood burning fire, a modern well-equipped welcoming kitchen, the spiral staircase takes you to the delightful spacious bedrooms.
One bedroom has a delightful ensuite bathroom whilst the other slightly larger bedroom enjoys the comforts of the main bathroom with its large walk in modern power shower and its huge bath for that long soak after a busy day.

The village boasts an excellent family run friendly 17th century coaching inn, the Barbon Inn with a gastro pub restaurant. The ever popular Churchmouse is a fully licensed delicatessen café and village store which becomes a Bistro on Friday evenings.
The village hall provides tennis courts for a nominal fee. All within a few metres of the cottage.

Our stay in the Lake District
We absolutely loved this cottage..it is beautifully decorated and has every detail planned out for their guests, from the kitchen to suggestions on activities. Our host Rob was so kind to check in with us and very easy to work with. The town of Barbon is so charming and peaceful. We loved going to the Chirch Mouse for lunch and sundries and the Barbon Inn was so convenient. The walks in the near area were great and Kirby Lonsdale is a very cute town to visit. The back garden was a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine…so charming! But, overwhelmingly for us was the charm and warmth of the cottage. It really made our stay so memorable! We did not want to leave to even tour around, which is a compliment. We will definitely be back! Thank you Rob and Mancy for providing such a lovely vacation home! You have created a wonderful oasis!

A super summer stay!
This was my second time staying at the Old Post Office and it was every bit as special as the first! Whilst during my December stay we enjoyed long cosy nights in curled up in front of the fire, this time round we made the most of the glorious weather and explored all that beautiful Barbon has to offer. There were picture perfect country strolls, a lovely meal at the Barbon Inn, and refreshing iced coffees and great chats at the Churchmouse cafe. We also loved sitting out in the sunshine in the back garden of the house in the morning and supping a glass of wine out front in the evening. The house had absolutely everything we could wish for - beautiful decor, a fantastically equipped kitchen and fans to keep us cool! I look forward to coming back again - think next time an autumn trip will be in order!
