The Barn is perfect for a couple and comfortably sleeps 4 adults or a family of 5. Choose between the main bedroom, with it’s traditional beams and exposed stone, or climb up to the sleeping platform and through the canvas door for some star gazing from your own indoor ‘tent'.

The main bedroom has a luxury super king size bed (also available as a twin) plus a single day-bed, whilst the sleeping platform is accessed via ladder stairs and available with a super king size bed or as a twin.

The light warm open-plan living area has two comfortable sofa’s and wood-burning stove - the perfect place to curl up with a good book or simply watch the flames.

The fully equipped kitchen has all you need to cook up a feast - eat indoors at the table or venture outdoors to the picnic bench and views.
