About Us
Read MoreOld Brewery Barn is a new build of an old barn on the site of a former brewery, it was completed on the 30th July 2021 after a seven month rebuild of an existing barn on the site of a former brewery.
It was designed by myself, Ian Cleasby, co-owner with my wife, Elizete. We tried our best to keep the character of the old barn which had started life as a stone "byre" and had been added to by the previous owner. Francis Jefferson, the village joiner, with a large black tin shed. We hand sorted the stone from the stone walls and reused it to stone face the new insulated block walls. Sticking to the orinal footprint, but a little wider and rotated a couple of degrees to enhance the view from the living room and bedrooms, the black tin sheets were replicated with burnt Siberian Larch, which looks amazing as a contrast to the stonework.

See AllUllswater Lake, The Lake District Ullswater Lakehttps://www.visitlakedistrict.com/explore/ullswaterA strong contender for the most beautiful lake in England is Ullswater, a glittering jewel between Pooley Bridge to the north and Glenridding to the south carved out by a long-extinct glacier and flanked by some of the Lake District’s most eye-catching fells. In the 18th-century, the lake attracted artists and poets looking for creative inspiration – those same views are yours to enjoy, whether descending from the lofty heights of Kirkstone, climbing Hallin Fell on the eastern side or tagging the western edge to reach the stunning Aira Force waterfall. The lake itself is a focal point of recreational activities, from sailing and boating to canoeing and windsurfing – and then there’s the pleasure of just cruising on the lake aboard an Ullswater steamer. For climbers, there’s the challenge of Helvellyn fell via Striding Edge, St Sunday Crag or the Fairfield Horseshoe.Queens Head Inn, Tirril "Located on the edge of the Lake District National Park in the small village of Tirril, close to Penrith and a stones throw from Ullswater, the Queen’s Head Inn is a quintessential traditional country pub. Dating back to the early 18th century, the pub is brimming with period features, including roaring log fires, thick and crooked stone walls, exposed beams, and the original flagstone floors. The bar features open fires, free wifi and a relaxing ambiance which welcomes both dogs and children. On better days, enjoy our pleasant outside tables both in our front garden and our covered outdoor terrace with heaters for those late nights" https://queenshead-tirril.co.uk/Pooley Bridge Pooley Bridge straddles the River Eamont at the head of Ullswater in the picturesque Eden Valley. The town's two wide main streets are lined with greystone houses and a number of teashops, all overlooking the lake.A popular way to explore the area is to take a boat from Pooley Bridge, leave the boat at Howtown, and then walk to Glenridding and catch the boat back to Pooley Bridge. This was one of Wordsworth's favourite walks and offers views of the lake and Helvellyn.The Eamont Way The Eamont Way is a walking route from Penrith Railway Station to Pooley Bridge Steamer Pier, offering an ‘Active Travel’ alternative to the car, bus, or taxi for these 5.5 miles.
