Alice Barn, Lily Barn, Matilda Studio and The Sheringham Hut are among a series of barn conversions. Each main barn has its own unique name, character and style, with 2 king bedrooms, 1 bathroom and an open plan living area and kitchen. Matilda Studio offers open plan living and sleeping with one king bed, while The Sheringham Hut provides a contemporary glamping space with one king bed (sharing facilities with Lily Barn). Lily Barn has a large table that can seat 10 people and a larger living space in which to congregate as a group. Request our trestle table for more seating space.
You will have private use of two wood burning hot tubs, which sit within semi enclosed gardens outside Lily and Alice Barns. These hot tubs have gorgeous countryside views across open farmland, and offer some privacy due to the their garden locations. A rustic BBQ, fire pit and covered dutch barn with picnic bench seating, allow for a wonderful alfresco experience.
