The space
Red Brick Barn is a beautiful detached property packed with character. Inside you’ll find a living room complete with a log fire, two double ensuite bedrooms, an open plan kitchen diner and outstanding panoramic views of the countryside.With low ceilings and a warm colour palette, the living room is homely and snug. Relax on the large, corner sofa with a good book or play games with your loved ones. As it gets colder outside, fire up the log burner and enjoy a cosy night in. Please note all logs are provided for your stay. Traditional in style, the space also includes a wooden dresser, benches and side table.
Head through the archway and you’ll find the open plan kitchen diner. With light coloured walls and mint green tiles, the kitchen has a bright and airy feel. Wooden cabinets and a Belfast sink add a country style which fits perfectly with the nature of the barn. Fully equipped for all self-catering staycations, you’ll have access to an oven, hob, toaster and kettle during your stay.
Ideal for socialising, the open plan kitchen diner allows your guests to gather and chat whilst others cook. With a round wooden table and four chairs, there is ample space for your party to enjoy meals together. Please note a highchair is also provided for little ones.
Also located on the ground floor is a spacious WC.
Outside you’ll find a gravelled area with outdoor furniture and incredible views of the countryside. A real treat, this outside space is an added luxury. You can enjoy al fresco dining with your party and drinks outside as the evening draws near. There is also a fire outside in the seating area so you can enjoy this space all year round.
Take the stairs up to the first floor and you’ll find two double ensuite bedrooms. Bold in colour, the first bedroom has buttercup yellow coloured walls to create a positive and cheery space and the second bedroom has deep purple soft furnishings and a striped carpet. You’ll enjoy your sleep at Red Brick Barn as both double beds feature crisp white linens and plush bedding. Please note one bedroom can be made up as a twin if this is more suitable for your stay.
Each bedroom has a clean and modern en suite with a walk in shower, WC and basin.

Perfect for a rural escape. Very remote location which was ideal for us. Limitless walking opportunities around the accommodation. We were treated to snow on our final morning which made the surrounding area even more spectacular (and even more remote!). Andrew was a great host.

Great place for a quiet weekend away. Great communications with Andrew throughout and Andrew was in a general just a super nice guy. Location is both remote (which is nice), whilst also being close to places of interest (30 min drive or so). We were surrounded by all kinds of animals which our 2 year old really liked. Very comfortable for 2 couples as both bedrooms have their own bathroom. Well equiped kitchen with all the basic and equipment, comfy beds and sofas. Do note the central heating and one room's shower are heated by the woodfire stove, so good fire making skills are a plus. Bring some indoor shoes to prevent cold feet.

A truely fantastic little place made all the more superior by a superb host. Comfortable, everything you need, with a real sense of what the north Pennines is all about both through the property itself and its position in the dales. Just getting there over the passes, added to the immersion, of being away from city life, and immersed in something all the more meaningful and worthy. Old fashioned values and friendliness, a day ruled by the weather and time of day, limited distractions and good food. I fully recommend Andrew’s place to reset and perhaps even reevaluate what one holds important.
