About this space

New House Farm is a Grade II listed country house formed from converted 17th‑century farm buildings; its defining quality is authentic historic farmhouse character spread across multiple event spaces.

Design: Interiors combine exposed stone walls, heavy timber beams and antique furnishings that reflect the building's 17th‑century origins. Public rooms vary from low‑beamed farmhouse lounges to taller, open-plan barn spaces that retain original farm fittings.

Features: The venue contains separate hireable spaces including the Hayloft, Cart Shed and Milking Parlour alongside on-site guest accommodation. Facilities include Wi‑Fi, a PA system and speakers, permission for own music or a brought DJ, wheelchair access and accessible toilets. Additional on-site features include a hot tub, an open fireplace and a bar area in the dining room.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social weekend-style stay that combines private accommodation with flexible indoor event spaces.

What sets it apart: Fifteen acres of private grounds contain woods, streams and ponds and provide direct countryside views of the surrounding fells.

What guests say: The converted farm buildings are characterful and well maintained, and the public rooms provide a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
