Ancient Barn Holidays

  

  The Ancient Barn

This medieval barn was almost certainly built in the 1300s. By the 1970s it had been converted into a milking parlour and then it became derelict.  In 1995 it was converted to provide a very comfortable, unusual and very special holiday home. 

It has a VisitBritain four star rating.
Every care has been taken to preserve its original features. There is a lofty living/dining/kitchen area with a wealth of old beams, a flagstone floor (with under floor heating) and double doors leading to a small paved patio. 
Upstairs there is a heavily beamed bedroom with two single beds + folding guest bed. Downstairs there is a double bedroom with a magnificent king-sized antique brass bed, and the bathroom is next door.

Please note - the bathroom was refurbished in 2008 and has a cubicle shower - not a tub as shown on the plan below.
