The Wild Wool Bunkbarn in Ennerdale, a newly converted barn, provides atmospheric, simple accommodation, in 3 ground-floor rooms.
The Wild Wool Barn (Routen Farm) is a luxury bunkhouse in Ennerdale providing accommodation for groups or families of up to 6, staying in a simple, but modern, recently converted Lakeland barn. With its traditional wood-burning stove, slate and wood floors, low beams, electric heating,  and shower,  it marries tradition with luxury.  The barn is overshadowed by Great Bourne, and overlooks Ennerdale Water and Crag Fell, placing it in the heart of fells of the Lake District isolated from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Wild Wool Barn is a perfect group stop-off on the Coast to Coast walk, 2 miles from the route of the cycling C2C and as a starting point to explore the 15 peaks of the Ennerdale Horseshoe.  The village of Ennerdale Bridge is just 2.5 miles away with two pubs and a cafe.  It is just 25 minutes from Whitehaven, Workington, and Cockermouth, for supermarkets and supplies and is close to local attractions such as Muncaster Castle, Ravenglass railway and Maryport Aquarium.  The Wild Wool Barn the perfect base for exploring, both this hidden gem of The Lake District and The Cumbrian Coast. The Wild Wool Barn is truly a place to get away from it all.
