Gill Beck Barn
A peaceful luxury retreat in the rolling foothills of the Pennines.
Torn between holidaying in the Peaks or the Lakes? Gill Beck Barn offers the best of both worlds. On the crest of a country lane at Todd Hills Hall, this handsome stable conversion has stunning views over the Pennines and a spacious gated enclosed private garden.
Rates range from £46 per person per night based on full occupancy of the three bedrooms for a 3 night mid-week stay in the 2026 early spring season or £833 total for a midweek short break.
View Gill Beck Barn
Overview
Unwind with a glass of wine on the sandstone terrace and fire up the Weber barbeque enjoying sweeping views of hills and dales while children and dogs run safely wild. Your enclosed private two-acre garden, secured by dry-stone walls, backs onto ancient woodland with a hill top sandstone fire pit and wildflower meadow.
Gill Beck Barn’s tranquil and spacious setting will revive and refresh.

Bedrooms & bathrooms
After hearty hikes or days on the water, you’ll welcome the walk-in power showers and that each bedroom in this luxury holiday cottage has its own bathroom. Choose between the ground floor Loweswater Room opening directly onto the garden, double aspect ground floor Rydal Room with views onto the interior courtyard and the rolling hills, or The Eltwater master bedroom with its vaulted ceiling, chaise longue and claw-footed bathtub. Listen out for doves and owls as you sink into the comfort of crisp white Egyptian cotton bedding. Please see the gallery for more images.

If you can bear to leave…
Gill Beck Barn is connected to Todd Hills Hall farmhouse but otherwise your nearest neighbours are red squirrels and swifts. With panoramic views, you’re still just five minutes by car (or an easy stroll down a quiet country lane) to the gorgeous village of Melmerby with its pretty church, The Old Village Bakery (which also sells provisions) and tea room, captivating independent shops and the traditional welcoming Shepherd’s Inn pub. For biking, hiking, riding, sailing and fishing, strike out into the glorious Lake District and Pennine Fells – they’re all on your doorstep. Then return to the sweet comfort of a roaring fire, luxurious ensuite bedrooms and a generous wicker hamper of local delicacies and treats.
