The Hay Barn has an oak framed galleried living area on the upper level with granite worktops, kitchen island, large oak dining table for up to 12 and comfy leather sofas to seat a large group if taking the Hay Barn as part of a larger group. There is a log stove and underfloor heating throughout. The three en-suite bedrooms are on the ground floor and each bedroom has french doors leading to a large private landscaped garden with patio where you can watch the sun setting with a glass of wine. The bedrooms all have luxury mattresses, 2 rooms can have a super-king or twin setup with wet rooms and there is a king room with bath/shower.

There is also a separate WC in the entrance hall.

Plenty of DVDs and games, with outdoor under-cover table tennis table.
