WILLIAMSTON BARN - a holiday home that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms
Tucked away in the northern reaches of the North Pennines, Williamston Barns sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning scenery and wildlife, as well as endless opportunities for walking, cycling and country sports right on the doorstep.
Beautifully restored and converted
Spread across 1000 acres of rolling countryside and lush river valleys, a stay at the Barns promises a luxury escape away from the madding crowd.
Beautifully restored and converted, Williamston Barn is set out in a companionable open plan layout with plenty of space for families and groups to relax and socialise. The kitchen and dining area provides a fantastic entertaining space for simple suppers or elaborate dinner parties, while large sliding doors lead out to the south facing terrace and garden for a leisurely aperitif in the early evening sun.
Upstairs on the first floor, the lofty living space offers a perfect excuse to unwind in front of the cosy wood burning stove, spend quality time with friends and family, or simply enjoy the blissful uninterrupted views of the valley and fell side. The four en-suite bedrooms offer flexible accommodation with king size beds which can be adapted to twin as required.
Williamston has a sustainable ethos at its heart and the Barn benefits from underfloor heating supplied from a biomass woodchip boiler; stoves fuelled by seasoned wood from the farm; electricity generated from its own 6kw wind turbine; and fresh filtered water from its own spring source.
