The Bird Bath is a first-floor barn conversion apartment on a working farm outside Wreay, a small village four miles south of Carlisle in Cumbria. This is genuinely different part health spa, part self-catering retreat. The on-site treatment room offers holistic treatments, beauty treatments and hairdressing, making it far more than a standard cottage stay.
The farm runs suckler cows and sheep across open countryside. The River Petteril flows through the farm and guests get free access to 1. 5 miles of trout fishing. A pub with a restaurant sits half a mile away in the village. Carlisle is just four miles north with full town amenities.
The apartment sleeps up to 4. The bedroom has a 5ft kingsize bed.
