Cosy Barn Conversion

Perfect self-catering stay in this beautiful property. The owners have thought of everything you might need throughout your stay. Inspired use of space and lovely, cosy furnishings. I would wholeheartedly recommend this barn conversion for a couple of any age. Country property, car essential.

Why they chose this property

Thus unique barn gives you privacy in the countryside with other cottages on site. The balcony is a super place to relax and take in the views and peaceful surroundings. Why pay more for a bigger property if there is only two of you. Get away from the hussle and bustle of towns, yet close by when you need them.

What makes this property unique

Our guests say "hidden gem" "ideal place to relax" "really well equipped" "comfy bed" "stunning inside and out" " beautiful gardens" " great escape" "we will be back" "home from home"
