Bunkbarn

A warm welcome awaits you at Keld Bunkbarn, where stunning scenery and breath-taking waterfalls provide the backdrop to our bunkbarn on the banks of the River Swale, right in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.

Our recently refurbished, centrally heated bunkbarn is stylish and comfortable and offers fantastic versatile accommodation. The barn can comfortably sleep 9 people, however if booking the whole bunkbarn it can accommodate a maximum of 12 people using a pull out bed and double sofa bed in the lounge, (please note that we do not necessarily recommend this as it can feel rather crowded). It’s ideal for individuals, couples, groups or families, as we offer complete flexibility, so whether you are looking for an individual bed in a shared room, a private room with or without en suite, or the whole bunkbarn, subject to availability, we’ll be able to accommodate you.
