Howgills Bunk Barn

Howgills Bunk Barn provides group accommodation and is situated in the town of Sedbergh, in Cumbria. It is in an ideal place for a relaxing break with friends or family. Perfect for celebrations, parties and even weddings! Based in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and near the Lake District National Park, and set on the Howgill Fells at Sedbergh, beautiful scenery surrounds the place.

The bunk barn is the ideal place for any trip. Whether it's with families, business parties, group activities, school and youth groups or just to relax in peaceful surroundings. Disabled guests are also welcome as there is a range of facilities to cater for their needs.

Lounge/Dining
This is a lovely comfortable area to relax in when you settle down at the end of your day. You can take advantage of the dvd player and music system or just simply enjoy the views of the Howgill fells. The dining room seats 24 people and can be rearranged to your requirements or additional tables and chairs brought up from the kitchenette to seat up to 36 with some rearranging of the lounge seats for collective single group eating. The bunk barn is mainly chosen for self catering accommodation but for those who would prefer a full breakfast or evening meal the local restaurants, cafes and public houses are highly recommended. There are also excellent takeaways from the Indian, the Chinese and our local Fish & Chip shop in Sedbergh.

Advance notice is required for catered accommodation and we can certainly quote for that which is a popular choice for some groups.
