About this property

Barn Owls Retreat @ Dairy Barns

Barn Owls Retreat has a fabulous upstairs bedroom on open plan gallery where you can lay in your super king sized bed looking up to the stars, Downstairs there is a spacious lounge with comfy sofa and flat screen TV/DVD player. You’ll love the stylish, convenient and easy-to-use Nespresso coffee machine – we think it produces an almost perfect cup of coffee, along with a good sized fridge to chill your wine and nibbles.

The bathroom has been fully refurbished this year, it is incrediably spacious and has an excellent large power shower and separate oval bath with ample fluffy towels, robes and luxury toiletries. Along with a double sink and mirror with in built blue tooth speakers

In addition there is a day bed in the downstairs area with a second pull out bed underneath so its great for a family getaway. You have your own front door for complete privacy and a private court yard garden. The room has a fridge and glasses in case you want to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne. As an extra treat If you would like to have breakfast in your room we will happily bring a full English breakfast or homemade waffles to your door for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own lounge or maybe outside in the early morning sunshine on the deck in your own little garden.
Based down a quiet country lane with views across farm land to the sea the Dairy Barns is a purpose designed red brick barn conversation locatated on our family farm with a selection of 6 lovely rooms and 3 extra special rooms with a stunning main breakfast barn and coastal themed lounge.

Great stay, as always

This was our third stay at the hotel, and once again, it was excellent. The superior room was ideal for the three of us—spotlessly clean and comfortable. The cake on our first day was a lovely bonus. We always appreciate the welcome pack, which offers helpful recommendations for local activities and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious and offered something for everyone. Hopefully we will be back in the winter to see the seal pups.
