Low Ploughlands

Low Ploughlands Keld & Brockram Barns sleep 8 each. Nestled in the Eden Valley beneath the Peninne, spacious/ modern. A great base in which to explore.

Ed, Harriet, Rory and Toby welcome you to enjoy the wonders of the Eden Valley and Low Ploughlands nestled at the foot of the Pennines. Located on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the Lake District you are spoilt for choice on the great outdoors. Brockram (the local name for the stone) and Keld (a Viking term for a ‘spring’) were last used for the housing of dairy cows. In 2014,

works started to convert the barn into two luxury holiday units. We have strived to work with the building and incorporate as many natural materials including the exposed oak trusses and limestone flagged floors, whilst adding modern luxuries such as underfloor heating and en suites with rain showers. Both barns are filled with natural light flowing from the large entrance hall windows through to the bi-fold doors of the Kitchen and the Sitting Room which provides an up lifting space in which to relax, party and enjoy your holiday. On a summers day open wide the bi-fold doors and soak in the magnificent view over the large pond with waders and swallows swooping into drink, and beyond to Nine Standards and the Mallerstang Valley. In winter view the frosted hills in comfort and curl up by the log burner. Rent the barns together to accommodate 16 or individually. Brockram Barn sleeps 8 and consists of:
2 Superking bedrooms
2 zip-link beds which are the size of a superking when zipped toghether.
3 out of the 4 bedrooms are en-suite, and there is a family bathroom. Keld Barn also sleeps 8 and consists of:
1 Superking with en-suite
1 king size with ensuite
2 bedrooms with zip-link beds which are the size of a superking when put together both have en-suites.
1 family bathroom

Our location is enviable the barn looks out to the Pennines in the East, which often glow red in the evening light and by day the clouds dance their shadow across them; to the south you can see the marching army of Nine Standards where the Coast to Coast path crosses into Yorkshire and the Mallerstang Valley which holds the source of the River Eden; to the north and south is a rural idyll of farmland and woodland that hold bountiful wildlife from Roe Deer, Red Squirrel, Hare and Stoat to name but a few.

With the beautiful spring weather comes planting, over the past month we have planted 800 trees to help restore the river bank. As you can see over the past 20 years we have lost a lot, and the rate is accelerating due to the heavy rains, and shifting gravel banks.

There is much more to be done but with a 15 yr old eager to work, we should get there. Working in the countryside is the best kid of education and a relief from his GCSE's!

Can't believe it has been 10 years since we opened the barns doors to guests. We have had so many people to stay over the years. If you are one of them come and visit again and relive the memories or create new ones with the next generation of family.

Way back during lock down we planted lots of trees and hedges. They have now grown really well and in a quiet January I am busy taking off all the tree ties so they can continue to grow. More tree planting is done every year but it is nice to see how big some have got already.

An amazing light all day from sunrise to sunset. The little robin on the window ledge had been a lodger over night keeping warm in Keld Barn. He must of snuck in when I was removing the Christmas decorations.

Our festive barns are decorated throughout December. We have had 2 family groups already enjoying a festive get-together. We have no space left this year but there are still December weekends available for 2026.
