Autumn in the Howgills 🍂

There’s something rather special about this time of year. Crisp mornings, hills turning every shade of gold, boots by the door and the promise of somewhere warm to come back to.

At Herdwick Barn, you can spend the day out exploring the fells, wander into Sedbergh for coffee and a browse around the bookshops, then head home, light the fire and settle in for the evening.

But what does your perfect autumn escape look like?

🥾 A Boots on. Straight into the fells.
☕ B Slow morning. Coffee and a view.
📚 C Sedbergh and the bookshops.
🔥 D Back early. Light the fire.
🍷 E Pub. Obviously.
❤️ F All of the above.

We’re rather partial to doing all six.

Which are you choosing first? A, B, C, D, E or F? 👇

Turn right out of Herdwick Barn’s gate and this is where your walk begins.

A quiet country lane, hedgerows on either side and plenty for four-legged guests to investigate along the way. 🐾

It’s one of those lovely little things about staying here. You can step outside, clip on the lead and be out walking almost immediately, without having to bundle everyone into the car first.

Keep going and the countryside just keeps opening up around you.

One of the best things about staying at Herdwick Barn is that you don’t have to go far to find yourself properly out in the countryside.

Head out of the main gate, turn right, then right again at the end of the road and just keep climbing. Before long, the views begin to open up and you’re surrounded by that glorious Howgill landscape.

No car. No complicated route planning. Just walking boots on, out of the door and up the hill.

Sometimes the best walks really are the ones that start from where you’re staying. 🥾🌿

You can feel it coming… 🍂

That little shift in the air.
The mornings getting crisper.
The first leaves beginning to turn.

Soon it’ll be walking boots and woolly jumpers. Long walks followed by something hearty. A good pub, a good book, and evenings curled up in front of the fire.

Autumn in the Howgills is rather special.

And at Herdwick Barn, you can come back from a day on the fells, light the wood burner, pour something lovely and settle in for the evening. Firewood’s stocked, the views are waiting and there’s absolutely no need to be anywhere else. 🔥🍷

We’re not wishing summer away…

…but we are rather looking forward to what comes next. 🍁

Some holidays are about the views.

Some are about the walks.

Some are about switching off completely.

And some are simply about being together. 🐾

Georgie and his lovely humans, enjoying one of those little moments that says rather a lot without saying anything at all.

At Herdwick Barn, dogs aren’t an afterthought. With fantastic walks, a private secure field and plenty of space to sniff, explore and snooze afterwards, they get a proper holiday too.

Because the best memories usually have muddy paws somewhere in them.

Bank Holiday weekend, Herdwick Barn style. 🌿

Big skies, rolling fells, peaceful corners, long walks and that wonderful feeling of having nowhere you need to be.

Whether your idea of a good weekend involves boots and hills, coffee on the patio, a wander into Sedbergh or simply sitting back and admiring the view, we hope you have a lovely one.

Happy Bank Holiday Weekend from Herdwick Barn. 💗

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 🐾💨

Rooms with ZOOMS at Herdwick Barn.

After giving the private field a thorough test drive, Georgie has reached his final verdict…

Yummy walks ✔️
Throws ✔️
Towels ✔️
Treats ✔️
A private field for zoomies ✔️
And some of the very best walks and views right on the doorstep ✔️

Then, after a windswept romp up on the fells, there’s only one thing left to do… head back to Herdwick Barn, find a sunny spot on the patio and RELAX.

Georgie gives Herdwick Barn, Sedbergh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

…and a really wiggly wag. 🐶

There’s something rather lovely about arriving somewhere and knowing the fire is ready when you are. 🔥

At Herdwick Barn, we don’t just leave you a couple of logs to get you started. Firewood and coal are fully stocked for your stay, so when the evening turns a little cooler, all you need to decide is who’s lighting the fire… and who’s pouring the wine. 🍷

Even at the end of summer, there’s something wonderfully cosy about settling in after a day exploring the Howgills and Yorkshire Dales, shutting the door on the world and putting your feet up.

Just one of the little touches that makes Herdwick Barn feel like a proper escape.

Fancy a cosy few days in the Dales?
Come and make yourself at home.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a stay memorable.

A sprig of rosemary from the patio at Herdwick Barn can find its way into a gin and tonic as the sun goes down, onto the roast potatoes for Sunday lunch, or simply be brushed between your fingers as you wander past for that unmistakable, wonderfully fresh scent.

And that’s rather the point of a stay here.

Slow mornings. Drinks outside. Something delicious cooking. Big skies overhead and the Howgills stretching away beyond the garden.

No rushing. No complicated plans. Just a beautiful barn, a glorious bit of countryside and time to enjoy it.

🌿 Fancy a few days of this?

Sometimes it’s really challenging being an ‘A-lister’. Now they’re insisting I become an influencer. It’s all too much.

So I’ve had a little lie down with my Highland cow and a cosy doggy throw, courtesy of the lovely folk at Herdwick Barn. 🐾

Being fabulous is exhausting work.
