Orchard Barn & Anvil Cottage are a pair of contemporary barn conversions. Converted in 2011, incorporating numerous eco-conscious initiatives, they are designed so that Orchard Barn can accommodate 6 & Anvil Cottage 4.
Ideal for extended families, friends, re-unions and social get-togethers.
Many of our bookings have been for birthday parties, family get togethers and re-unions, with 2 night weekend breaks (Fri & Sat nights) for 10 guests from £695.00. Additional nights can be added for as little as £100.00 extra. We try to reserve the school holidays for slightly longer stays.
Orchard Barn is the larger of the 2 barns & has two 1st floor bedrooms & pair of single beds downstairs that can be zipped together to form a king sized double bed if required (please see Floorplans). The catering / dining facilities are designed for up to 10 guests.
Anvil Cottage is a luxury 2 bed roomed conversion (1 double & 1 bunk bed), it has a kitchen with breakfast table, separate lounge with 2 settee's & a log burner. All bathrooms have baths with showers over, all with under floor heating, contemporary fittings and fully tiled.
Both barns were completed in 2011 and new to the holiday rental market in 2013.
