Bedroom One

Bedroom Two

Sleeps 4 in two double (or twin) bedrooms. The cottage is on two levels, plus a gallery, with underfloor heating throughout provided by our ground source heat pumps. The heating is controllable in all rooms, and is included in the price.

The Byre is built “upside down”, with the bedrooms on the ground floor and living area above. It has its own entrance through one of the original stable doors of the barn into a porch and “muddy boot” area, along with secure storage big enough for bicycles. A utility room has a washing machine and tumble dryer.

There are two double or twin bedrooms, each with full en-suite facilities including a whirlpool bath specially shaped for showering, with a thermostatically controlled mains-pressure shower over, and a towel warmer. The comfortable six foot wide superking-size beds can be split into two singles, so the bedrooms can be arranged as twins if desired.

Upstairs is a superb and comfortably furnished living area with two sofas. French doors open from the lounge area onto a balcony, where you can smoke if you wish, with stone steps leading down to the ground. The lounge has a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove which provides a lovely focal point and a supplement to the underfloor heating in the coldest weather, and we’ve made full use of the original height of the barn, with the old roof trusses exposed and a wooden staircase leading up to a small gallery area with additional seating and card table. There’s an LCD television with Freeview satellite, which also receives radio channels, and a DVD player/recorder to enable you to watch a movie in the evenings, record your favourites if you’re out, and play music CD’s.

The dining area has a table and four chairs and plenty of good quality crockery, cutlery and glasses are provided.

The kitchen is fully fitted with a double oven, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, slow-cooker crockpot and a dishwasher, with plenty of storage space.

For a large group we can connect the upstairs living areas of The Byre and The Haystore which are normally separated by twin solid firedoors and soundproofing.

Parking by the cottage for two cars, more by arrangement.

No smoking inside any of the cottages.

Well trained dogs are welcome by arrangement. Please see our facilities page for more information regarding children and pets.
