Between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, this former 17th-century inn is rich in original character and traditional charm, offering good food, real ales and log fires.

Lovely cottage amidst pastoral surroundings. Host stays in the property, which means it’s very nicely appointed and immaculately clean. Nice personal touches throughout the house.
Host is very welcoming and helpful, and provides a very nice and high quality breakfast, including home made juices, bread and jams from the apple and plum trees on the property.
A great place for a relaxing stay.

Very comfortable bed. Helpful welcoming staff. Utterly brilliant superbly cooked breakfast. Am now disappointed didn't choose to eat here in the evening because the tapas place we ended up at was pretentious rubbish.

The cottage is beautifully decorated, very comfortable & views/ location is stunning. Plenty of walks to do from the cottage & a good pub within walking distance. It's in a lovely quiet village not too far from facilities & local attractions. Parking outside the cottage is on the narrow, quiet road or alternatively in the car park at the village hall round the corner. Highly recommend

Charming village of Barbon, visited The Church mouse Deli Cafe which was welcoming with delicious cakes, cheese and hot drinks available.
A great quiet location to stay, whilst a drive away from the Lakes and the Dales.

Barbon was suitable for an over night stay in a small picaresque village to the north of Kirby Lonsdale situated on the edge of the Yorkshire dales and the Lake District. The village is also host to The Barbon Inn originally built as a coaching inn in the 17th century and the civil parish is in the diocese of Westmorland and Furness, the church is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew. Barbon being also north of Casterton where the Beck is a tributary to the river Lune which runs close to the village with great Fell walks along Barbondale and the winter Fell running Race.
The Church mouse is also located in central Barbon the original Post Office, a village store, café and delicatessen. The emporium has indoor and al fresco dining being fully licenced proffers snacks, light lunches, tapas and lunchtime specials in the café and purveys a comprehensive range of cheeses, meats, chilled products, groceries, newspapers, freshly baked bread, homemade cakes/biscuits and local milk in the shop.
What more could the traveller/walker need or ask for?

The location was the deciding factor in my booking this hotel as I needed to be in proximity to the local church - it was less than 5 minutes walk away. It would also be an excellent base for those wishing to explore the local area hiking onto the fells. Glorious scenery. We ate in the Pub restaurant and whilst it was a fairly basic menu the food was well cooked and there was plenty of it. We also ate at a local cafe called the Church Mouse the home made soup there was excellent and warranted a few visits throughout our stay.

The room was well appointed with a huge bed.
The room was well appointed with a huge bed. The food was excellent and the kitchen staff worked on to feed us. The bar had the usual beers plus two hand pulled real ales. The staff were exceptional and nothing was too much trouble.
The cottage had everything we wanted - a real fire, king size bed, conservatory, garden, old and cosy character. It's located in Barbon, an unspoilt village with a wonderful cafe - The Church Mouse, that sells fab cakes, meals and basic groceries and wine, and a good pub - The Barbon Inn, nice beer and pub food. Some lovely walks around too, everything we wanted.
Barbon is a small picturesque village to the north of Kirby Lonsdale (Westmorland) situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Barbon is also host to the Barbon Inn built as a 17th Century coaching Inn. Sandra greeted us with a warm welcome and provided a comfortable overnight stay with a hearty farmhouse breakfast.
Very warm central heating-had to turn radiators down a bit! Great washer/dryer-I did not notice it was a dryer as well for a while! Induction hob worked fine once got the hang of it. Barbon Inn very nice and down to earth/old fashioned.
Very charming, spotlessly clean and amazing food. Stayed in a few hotels in the area and this one was simply the best. Friendly and helpful staff made our stay seriously fantastic
A beautifully located inn in a picturesque village. Very friendly and welcoming staff and a truly dog friendly hotel.
Delicious dinner in the bar and lovely breakfast too.
