The greener features of the barn are carefully incorporated so that you hardly know they are there and require no expertise or knowledge. Central heating comes from the ground source heat pump and solar panels. Rainwater harvesting system works for all grey water. . Timbers replaced in the conversions were cut from local woods, and we have planted 20 acres of new woodland. The traditional lime plastered walls are painted in Earthbourne natural Clay paint, the windows are all made from wood and painted with organic linseed oil paints, Sheepswool insulation is used throughout the building, and natural clay aggregate forms the floor insulation in the limestone floor.
There are 4 herb borders from which guests can enjoy and pick their own herbs.
Both properties have been inspected by VISIT ENGLANDS TOURIST BOARD ACCOMMODATION GRADING SCHEME and have been awarded 4 STARS as well as a coveted GOLD AWARD
The 2 properties can be booked separately (sleeping either up to 6(or 8 with sofa bed) and 10 + cots) or can be booked together sleeping up to a total of 16/18 + cots.
Due to the type of property and location both properties are not suitable for what is known as 'house party venue' or for 'louder' hen or stag parties - we can recommed other nearby places if you are after this type of accommodation

Rural break for Christmas
We had a lovely family get together for Christmas at this beautiful cottage. Bedrooms were spacious and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room with log burner was v cosy. Barbara, the owner, was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.
