Guests say
Cherry Barn is praised for its peaceful location with beautiful surroundings and mountain views, offering lovely walks right from the door. Guests appreciate the well-equipped, homely barn and the warmth provided by electric heaters. The proximity to public footpaths and the Pennine Way adds to its charm.
Mixed feedback on cleanliness; while some guests found Cherry Barn clean and well-equipped, one review mentioned the need for a thorough cleaning, indicating room for improvement.
The location is highly regarded for its tranquility, natural beauty, and proximity to walking trails, including the Pennine Way. The picturesque setting near Dufton Pike is a highlight for many.
Guests generally find the barn comfortable, with cozy bedrooms and adequate bathroom facilities. However, one review mentioned a slippery pathway, suggesting some outdoor areas could be safer.
Facilities are considered adequate with a full bathroom, additional toilet, and a variety of cooking utensils. Electric heaters keep the place warm, though one review suggested the oven's state was unsatisfactory.
There is insufficient information to score thoughtfulness accurately. Only one review mentioned a lack of welcome pack, and as gifts are not guaranteed, it cannot be assumed that this is a regular occurrence.

Cherry Barn is a pretty barn conversion on the outskirts of the quiet village of Dufton, lying on the eastern fellside of the Eden Valley.
This traditional sandstone barn has been tastefully converted into a 2-bedroom holiday home which retains a good deal of charm and character. Surrounded by stunning scenery, the converted barn has excellent views to be enjoyed from the living area of Dufton Pike, a short journey away is Dufton, which has a good pub on the village green and is on the Pennine Way. There is excellent walking and cycling from the doorstep and one of the highlights is High Cup Nick which is a spectacular geological feature and walkers are rewarded with an amazing view along the Eden Valley to the Lakeland fells. The ancient, attractive market town of Appleby, three miles, stands on the River Eden and is on the famous and scenic Carlisle to Settle train line.
Dufton provides a good base from which to explore the contrasting but equally beautiful Lakes and Dales National Parks. The Scottish border and Hadrian’s Wall are also an easy, pretty drive away. Have an afternoon tea at the tea room, 200 yards, or an evening meal in the pub with restaurant, 200 yards.

We had a great time at Cherry Cottage - the place was perfect for us. There are 2 big bedrooms with comfy bed, the bathroom and kitchen are perfectly adequate and the additional toilet was handy. After we worked out how the heating worked the place was lovely and warm. The only minor problem was the pathway leading down to the cottage, which proved a little treacherous at night in the pitch black - it is overgrown, and covered in leaves which were slippery in the pouring rain. Make sure you have your walking boots on! We had a lovely walk following the many public footpaths around the cottage, and were able to drive to different places of interest - the cottage is in a great location for this.

Lovely break in a beautiful part of the world, made all the better for having such a nice place to stay at the base of the fells.

Needs a good clean inside and out - we had to get the hoover out before starting our break. Front outside seating area not nice with nettles around the gate and we didn’t like to use the oven given the state of it. Disappointed.
