Nestled on the south side of Hallin Fell above Ullswater, Hause Hall the Cruick barn and Stables are a lavish wilderness haven of slate and stone with panoramic views inside and out.
Adventurers, walkers and hermits – this is your place. A hairpin track climbs through bracken-rich crags to the isolated five-star opulence of Hause Hall, a dry-stone beauty of a farmstead, where barn owls rear their young in the eaves. Stretch out on luxurious sofas in your spectacular glass-walled day room and feast your eyes on Lakeland hill views that out-wuther the Brontes. Warm rows of toes (and paws) at the four-oven Aga. For grand festivities or silly board games, gather loved ones around the long kitchen trestle. (It seats eighteen, so you can welcome your Cruik Barn and Stables guests too.) Regroup around the crackling log fire for wine, conversation, laughter and song.
Spill out onto your spacious terrace for elegant drinks parties, lazy breakfasts and smoking barbecues against a backdrop of green-gold hills and wandering clouds. The gardens and grounds of Hause Hall flow naturally into the landscape beyond: you can ramble free straight from your back gate, up rugged sheep tracks, over glittering brooks, as butterflies and swifts skitter in your wake, to the summit of Hallin Fell. Glacial hills and the slate-blue lake of Ullswater unfurl around you, a view prized by famed local writer, Wainwright, as ‘the most beautiful and rewarding in the Lakeland.’ And if the heavens open, you’re still just moments from the absolute comfort of home.
The new glazed dayroom flows through double doors into the large open plan kitchen and dining room and finally through to the leather sofas which surround our warn log burning stove at the far end.
The Master Bedroom extends over the full length of the Upper Barn and has floor-to-ceiling windows looking up to the crest of Hallin Fell. It has a six-foot solid antique oak bed and an ensuite shower and bathroom with a cast iron roll-top bath and a separate rainfall shower. Its ensuite dressing room and antique chest of drawers complement the decor and provide ample storage.
The Rampsgill ground floor bedroom and ensuite bathroom incorporates a walk-in 900 mm rainfall shower for ease of use and a luxurious cast iron roll-top bath. Its five-foot zip and link bed can be configured as one or as a pair of twin beds depending on preference.
The Martindale Bedroom has an antique double bed and an ensuite wet room shower. Its handmade oak storage cupboards flank either side of the lime-plastered chimney breast.
The 3-foot twin-bedded Sandwick Bedroom has a private bathroom located across the hall which benefits from a well-placed conservation roof light window opening up onto the fells.
The Bannerdale Room’s dark oak furniture contrasts with its crisp lime wash and white Egyptian cotton linen. It has a six-foot zip and link bed which can also be configured as a pair depending on preference. Its ensuite shower bathroom has a cast iron roll-top bath and a separate rainfall shower.
Cruik Barn is only available with Hause Hall bookings, so your privacy is guaranteed.
Hause Hall in miniature, Cruik Barn is your stunning solution for extra guests. There’s a log hearth and range for toasting your toes and a galleried lounge from which to watch the world go by. Polished beams and limewashed walls give the sunlit living space a bright and airy feel, ideal for lazing with the papers. The fully equipped oak and granite kitchen gives you great flexibility, whether it’s different dining times for larks and owls or extra ovens for rustling up the shared feast of a lifetime.
The Stables is only available with Hause Hall bookings, so your privacy is guaranteed.
The Stables offers you additional five-star bedroom suites for extra Hause Hall guests. There’s no separate kitchen or living space here, making it an ideal teenage annexe. They get some privacy; you ensure they’ll gather with the clan for eating and socialising. As there are no stairs, it’s equally good for elderly relatives or young families who need to keep their own hours but want to share in all the fun.
Pick up the Ullswater Steamer from Howtown Pier to Aira Force or potter around the lakeside villages. Lap up old-world charm at Michelin-starred Sharrow Bay. Burn it off biking, hiking, riding, windsurfing, kayaking and angling – the outdoors is your oyster here. Go wild on the fells with your hounds at your heels or return to civilization with a trip to Keswick’s Theatre by the Lake.

Hause Hall is a very special place: amazing views, wonderful walks from the farm and really generously and thoughtfully equipped. Our families had the best time and the owner could not have been more helpful with information and advice. Highly recommended!
