Luxury suite in a 330 year old farmhouse. Own entrance with private parking.
TOWNFOOT BYRE TROUTBECK
Townfoot Byre, Troutbeck is a beautiful suite in a 330 year old traditional Lakeland farmhouse. The house was built, in 1691, as a wedding gift for the local landowner’s son, and what is now Townfoot Byre would have originally housed animals. However, it has now been converted it into a charming and cosy suite with its own compact kitchenette.
The village of Troutbeck, at the foot of which stands Townfoot, is a hidden gem. Half-way between the popular villages of Windermere and Ambleside, the lush green valley that is home to Townfoot Byre is a quiet haven from the hustle and bustle.

Townfoot Byre, Troutbeck • Reviews
A collection of Townfoot Byre, Troutbeck reviews from our previous guests
Alun, the host, was fantastic throughout our stay. Friendly, responsive, and genuinely thoughtful, he made us feel completely at ease and well looked after. It’s rare to come across such a welcoming and helpful host.
The location is ideal – nestled close to nature, with plenty of local restaurants and charming spots to explore nearby. We loved how peaceful it was, yet still just a short five-minute drive from the stunning Lake Windermere. Having the convenience of parking on the drive was also a huge plus.
This was the perfect base for our Lake District getaway, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you again, Alun – we’ll definitely be back!
Alun was friendly, quick to respond and flexible with check in requests. I really appreciated the breakfast selection and the spa access!!
Property was very clean and you can tell the hosts have put a lot of effort into making it welcoming and comfortable for guests.
Parking is tight but I have a SUV and managed to get in and out fine.
I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!!
The pool access is an added bonus!
Would definitely visit again
Alun was very quick to respond.
Unfortunately me and my partner had to leave a day before.
Would definitely recommend everyone to try this place - it’s very pretty
Stay again
it's the perfect getaway to lock ourselves away for the evening after a busy day on the hills.
But far enough for peace and tranquillity
Spotlessly clean
Alun was very attentive to our needs
Would highly recommend
Alun was very helpful and his place was spotless
He was also really responsive and available to answer any questions we had.
I’d stay again in a heartbeat
Beds comfy, showers nice, kitchens well equipped for a ‘mini house’. Would stay again when we try and finish the hike we set out for 🤦🏻♂️
Excellent host - very responsive, helpful and lovely. Having hobbled off the hills with a badly twisted ankle and struggling with the car charger, Alun took my keys and solved it in a situation where it was easy to shrug and say the charger works.
Excellent couple of days (the hills are beautiful, pain or not 🤣)
Thanks for the stay.
Alun was very responsive and easy to communicate with host.
Thank you! 🙂
The location was fab and only a few minutes drive to the main road with great access to Windermere and Ambleside.
i used the gym once which was nice and friendly and very easy to find.
All in all it was fantastic weekend and we would definately stay again.
I’m a clean freak so I’m pleased to say it was very clean. It’s also in the stunning Troutbeck Valley near Windermere one of our favourite areas.
If you have mobility problems (steep curved stairs) or if you don’t like driving backwards on a narrow steep drive (to park your car) it won’t work for you - but it was great for us.
Many thanks
Thanks
The attention to detail was perfect, from the breakfast and coffee facilities provided to the cleanliness, Alun and Oksana have created a welcoming and cosy place to stay. The spa access was also very much appreciated after a long day of hiking! We decided to walk to and from the byre and really enjoyed exploring the area and the lovely scenery. The byre is perfectly situated between Windermere and Ambleside and it was great to be able to visit those and then relax in a quieter village.
We honestly could not recommend staying here enough, our only wish is that we could’ve stayed there longer ☺️
Cosy, spotlessly clean and in a picturesque location.
The hosts were brilliant too - attentive, friendly and really responsive.
We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! 100% recommend 😊
But don’t just take our guests’ words for it. Come and enjoy a holiday in our fantastic Troutbeck property yourself.

OUTSIDE
Townfoot Byre, Troutbeck is an ideal base for a short break in the heart of Lake District. It is very close to the main attractions, but hidden away in Troutbeck – a quiet village snuck away from the main hotspots. At the foot of a cobbled drive, which also provides direct footpath access to numerous walks, including Wansfell and a pretty hillside route to Ambleside, Townfoot Byre, Troutbeck is perfectly situated for a romantic getaway. Just a few minutes’ walk down the hill, there are some newly constructed foot-bridges over Troutbeck river.
DOWNSTAIRS
After a day out exploring, return to Townfoot Byre, Troutbeck, where the bedroom has a comfy king-size bed and solid oak furniture which provides plenty of storage space. It also has a TV, and for when you want to reconnect to the world – broadband WiFi. We hope that you will appreciate the 330-year history of the building, with the stone walls, beamed ceiling and original winding stone staircase up to the bathroom. If not out in the evening, enjoying the food in one of the local eateries, Townfoot Byre, Troutbeck’s bijoux kitchenette provides a few basic facilities, including a full-size fridge, a microwave, small sink, toaster, and kettle.
UPSTAIRS
Townfoot Byre’s fully tiled, porcelain, shower room has an extra large shower unit with overhead and wall jets, plus a handheld shower. There is LED lighting, an LED mirror, a towel rail, and basin with storage. The view from the shower room, through Townfoot Byre’s traditional oak mullioned window, is absolutely beautiful.
Please note that as this is a 330 year old, quirky property, it has a steep winding stone staircase and a low doorway, so care will be required. Please ask for more details if you need.
