Get away from it all at Owls Barn, an immersive countryside retreat that you won't want to leave. Hearing owls and seeing deer in the surrounding fields, exploring the walking routes, dining at the fabulous local pubs, and resting before the nature reserve views it is hard to drag yourself away from such a perfect holiday home.
Showcasing open plan living spaces, wooden beams and glorious outside space Owls Barn has been carefully considered. Eye-catching details from artwork to exposed stone add character and make you feel more at home. The large living space will be the hub of your stay where you can all relax, dine and cook together. Flooded with light you can step straight out into the garden, expanding the space on sunny days. Five bedrooms, designed with your ultimate comfort in mind, are spread across the ground and first floor. Three double rooms and two twins are sure to suit your group, and there are four bathrooms. With a luxurious freestanding bath in the room and beautiful views over the nature reserve, the master bedroom is a special room for the guests of honour.
Outside the details continue. A dining terrace with a BBQ is made for summer feasts and the bath house is a hidden retreat.
