A cleverly designed conversion of two listed barns by friendly owners Fiona and Peter – they live on one side (but you have lots of privacy) and leave you a welcome hamper of local bread, cake, juices, jams and Nespresso capsules.
It’s a wonderful space for gatherings with elegant bedrooms and modern bathrooms; prepare dinner on the range cooker, keep toes toasty around the wood-burner and with underfloor heating, stay in for a movie night (there’s a big TV with everything you’ll need).
Outside you’ll find a garden with barbecue (sizzle sausages from one of two excellent farm shops nearby) and an undercover area with sofas for al fresco drinks surrounded by a lovely weeping willow and a pond full of wildlife – you’ll only hear owls and maybe the odd tractor. You can walk to the Jolly Sailor pub over fields in just over an hour.
We loved our stay at Church lane barns - a beautiful location, so peaceful and comfortable and ideal for local walks, cycle rides and many choices for pubs, villages etc. A great deal of thought and care has been put into the barn and we were made to feel very welcome. The owners even helped out when we needed a bicycle pump for our daughters bike! A very relaxing stay and we hope one day to be back!!
