Sleeps 10. A detached Eco-barn within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, set in a tranquil spot with spectacular views across Dentdale. It is just 1 mile from the quaint cobbled village of Dent.
Bower Bank Eco Barn helps to protect the environment by heating the barn and water with a ground source heat pump which is laid out under one of their fields. The extensive use of lamb’s wool (locally sourced from Penrith in Cumbria), together with double glazing, works to insulate the property and help to retain the heat, making the barn very energy efficient.
Rain water harvesting is supplemented by the barn’s own fresh water spring supply which goes on to be utilised by three farms further down the course of the stream. The water passes through a ultra-violet filter (no chlorine is used), and is so tasty that guests should have no need to think of buying bottled water.
All building work was carried out by a local builder who lives less than 3 miles away, and a local plumber was also used. Much of the furniture in the property has been pre-loved and has a bit of history to it, including the kitchen which has been created from recycled church pews. Where it hasn’t been possible to recycle or re-use furniture, new pieces have been sourced as locally as possible. The appliances are as energy efficient as possible, including an A* rated cooker and fridge/freezer. Guests are provided with freshly baked organic bread rolls and freshly baked croissants every morning during their stay which are supplied by the local village shop, along with butter, jam and cereals which are also locally sourced wherever possible.
