Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, England
A handmade wooden cabin near Kirkby Stephen designed to feel like a small ski lodge, with reclaimed vintage pine floors, pine lined walls, a tin roof, and a large panoramic skylight framing the Dales. Brackenber Bothy sits in a private wildflower garden near the Coast to Coast walking route and local cycling paths, making it a practical base for active stays in the Eden Valley.
The bath with scenic garden views is an unusual feature for a cabin this size, and the log burner provides the only significant heat source alongside an electric heater. At £91 per night, it is one of the most affordable tiny stays in Cumbria, and the 4.97 rating from 163 reviews suggests the low price does not come with low quality. One pet welcome, with a wildlife pond on site requiring supervision.
We love the panoramic skylight. Lying in a ski lodge inspired cabin watching the Dales sky through the roof is a strong reason to book this over pricier alternatives nearby.
Many reviewers praise their experience, highlighting a great stay and exceptional service.
