About Home Farm House

Home Farm House is a 4.9-star luxury Lakeland cottage in Hutton John, North Lakeland. This beautifully restored farmhouse offers three sumptuous bedrooms with super-comfy beds and sits in peaceful countryside just minutes from the main road. Perfect for families wanting to explore the northern Lakes without the crowds.

The large enclosed garden is a massive hit with dogs and kids alike. You might spot red squirrels visiting daily if you're lucky! Wood-fired hot tub sessions under the stars are mandatory after long walks exploring nearby Ullswater (6 miles) or Pooley Bridge (4.5 miles). Just remember to bring extra logs - the starter pack only lasts one night and you'll definitely want more!

Accommodation includes one super king/twin bedroom (specify when booking), plus two king-size rooms (one with en-suite). There are three bathrooms total, a well-equipped kitchen with Nespresso machine, cosy lounge with log burner, snug reading room and utility room with washer/dryer. The dining table is perfect for family feasts after countryside adventures.

Explore Keswick, visit the Rheged Centre, or enjoy Granny Dowbekins Tearooms in Pooley Bridge (apparently worth visiting daily according to previous guests!). The location is ideal for accessing all the northern Lakes while having a peaceful retreat to return to. Home Farm House even welcomes you with a local hamper - the perfect start to your Lake District escape.

Whether you're hiking Catbells, relaxing in the garden watching pheasants, or soaking in the hot tub with a glass of wine, Home Farm House delivers countryside luxury without pretension. Just watch out for flies in summer sheep season - small price to pay for authentic farm life!

Home Farm House Reviews

Great location, very clean and exceptionally well fitted out. Gardens 100 dog secure too. Great hot tub A must stay.
Antony
We had an amazing stay at Home Farm House. Exellent accommodation, facilities and location
Just spent a week here absolutely fantastic beds super comfortable views ... Just spent a week here absolutely fantastic beds super comfortable views absolutely amazing lovely garden dogs really enjoyed themselves running around hot tub was great with beautiful views loved it that much booked up again for next year
Andrew
Like most properties we have stayed in, that attention to detail is missed. We wish that the towels were bath sheet size , something so small but makes a massive difference, luxury advertisements should mean luxury towels not just the accommodation. If you want to get away from the hustle of every day life, Home Farm offers that getaway
Excellent stay for the 2nd time and would stay again.
Rosalyn
Lovely property. Nice quiet location. All home comforts. Comfortable beds. Enjoyed our family stay. Would use again if in the area.
Olivia
We had a lovely family time away, the beds are super comfortable and the welcome hamper was such a nice touch. The large garden allowed our dog to run around and seemed secure, however we kept her on a long line just in case due to sheep in the next field and the house being along a blind bend on the road. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook from scratch, everywhere was clean and the guide provided some nice restaurant and walking recommendations. The hot tub was nice but takes a good 2 hours to get up to temperature, there is poor lighting at night which makes the step down from the tub difficult and could be dangerous. As there is currently only one small light next to the hot tub, it would be better for solar lights placed in the slate plant pots on the flags for better visibility. DONT FORGET TO BRING WOOD! We had one bag supplied which we went through on the first night, we brought 4 more bags of wood from home which was enough for the 3 day stay. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely love to come back next year, thankyou so much
Raquel
We all had a lovely stay here, there was a small issue with the heating which was resolved so quickly, the owners couldnt do enough. We would love to come back in the summer so we could enjoy the area a little more, winter weather wasnt on our side. Also thank you to Kates husband and father for helping us out the mud, yes were city drivers and got our car stuck in the mud, rookies. Thank you again and hopefully we can get back in for the summer!
Rachel
We all absolutely loved our stay at Home Farm Cottage, it was a home away from home. We were greated with a beautiful hamper from Kate and the team filled with a lovely bottle of white wine and local treats which was a very personable touch. I look forward to returning to the cottage in the near future. Thankyou again to Kate and the team.
Very nice cottage, well furnished and spotlessly clean. Great location, minutes off the main road but really peaceful. The garden was a good size, too wet to use sadly. The downstairs bedroom had bedding that wouldnt stay on which was a bit annoying, no problems elsewhere though. The bathrooms were all great. Close to the Rheged Centre, Penrith, Pooley Bridge and Keswick. Very enjoyable stay, thank you.
Wonderful property. Well equipped. Very clean. The owner was extremely helpful.
Nicola
Lovely rural farm cottage in the perfect location for the Lakes but only 10 minutes from Penrith. Had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Thank you very much Kate!
Had a great weekend the cottage was fantastic couldn't fault anything definitely go back
The property was overall a great stay and facilities were perfect for us. The hamper and welcome package were also greatly appreciated.
Beautifully appointed cottage in a fantastic location for touring the Lakes. The beds were sumptuous and the baths and showers luxurious. Our dogs both loved the lovely large garden that was full of birds. The highlight of the week was the little red squirrel that visited us everyday for hazel nuts very kindly supplied by the owners. Thank you for a lovely holiday experience.
Caroline
The property was just about perfect! The only two things we would suggest to improve it were a a roasting tin to cook in the oven b some small hooks in the bathrooms to hang up clothes, shower hat etc.
We had a couple of issues at the time of year we went. The first was that bringing the sheep down close to the house meant the house was full of flies. I mean, so many flies This can be avoided by not going in the height of summer I guess! Secondly, the garden is NOT dogproof. If you have a dog who likes to escape then there are a ton of holes evidenced by waking up to sheep in the garden!. This meant we had an anxious week worrying our dog would escape into the sheep field and cause issues. In the end, we kept him on a lead all week, but still, not good and much of a worry to my mum. The beds were wonderful, the house itself was lovely, and the location was perfect. I just can't in all conscience give the place a 5 given the flies but most importantly the fact that we booked this place as a dogfriendly venue. I would recommend maybe a nonsummer stay... maybe when there are no sheep, and maybe without bringing the dog.
Lovely cottage and garden a great area for exploring the northern Lakes. Highly recommended
Rebecca
We had the most marvelous stay at Home Farm House. Kate was so easy to communicate with. The place was just as lovely as the photographs on the listing and each of us loved our bedrooms. The garden was so beautiful as were the fields surrounding it. The place was so clean and had everything we could want. We definitely hope to return for another wonderful stay.
Amazing stay at home farm house. Such a beautiful location and house. The garden was big and clean and perfect for the kids and dog! Lots of Easter egg hunts! the house was really clean, great size, comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen! We loved it. Brilliant location for seeing all of the Lakes. Easy access to everywhere. Really quiet peaceful road only the sound of sheep and birds bliss. Thank you so much. Only note that doesnt need publishing could have done with tea bags coffee milk for when we first arrived was a long journey! And more dishwasher tablets and bin bags.
Amazing house and in the perfect location that was a 10 minute drive to Ullswater! The house was warm and cosy with plenty of room for our dogs in the spacious garden! Can highly recommend and will definitely be returning in the future
Stephen
Fantastic property , great location fabulous instructions. Easy booking process with Sykes and updates. Welcome pack was a lovely touch and everything was just perfect for the family!
Beautiful property.
Claire
Home Farm House was perfect! The location enabled the family to visit the north lakes with ease and then escape back to rest and tranquility! We were all impressed with the attention to detail all rooms were presented with care and colours but it still felt homely. The dogs enjoyed the enclosed garden space but I think they also kept the red squirrels at a distance. Hoping to book another stay next year, highly recommended. Thank you Kate, it was a pleasure to meet you.
Taylor
A fantastic week in a beautiful home. Dogs loved the great garden to run around in. All needs catered for in the kitchen. Managed to cook a full Sunday Roast no problem. Granny Dowbekins Tearooms in Pooley Bridge seen us every day. Online Sainsburys delivery. Welcome gift much appreciated especially fudge. Look forward to a revisit.

Mr Horsnall
We have just spent the most amazing two weeks at Home Farm House. The owners have restored it to a very high standard and it was immaculate throughout. We also had two weeks of wall to wall sunshine too, which made our holiday complete. We would definitely recommend.
