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.
Without doubt the most beautiful, well appointed and comfortable accommodation we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The surrounding gardens are idyllic - many happy hours were spent under the oak framed seating area with tea and cake (kindly provided by the owners) watching the moor hens racing around the pond. Every single element of this self catering experience was curated to the highest standard - it goes without saying that we did not want to leave!
