Ample space for everyone to get together & socialise in Orchard Barn (subject to COVID guidelines) around the large dining table or in front of the log burner. The 7 seat Hot Tub is under an oak gazebo. The field has a mown area about the size of a tennis court. Easy 10 minute walk to The Roebuck. Ideal for extended families, friends, re-unions and social get-togethers & with 2 night weekend breaks for 6 + 4 people (+ cot). We live in the adjacent farm house and usually available to answer any questions either by phone or if you prefer, in person. Please also note that if you have any additional guests that mean that you cannot comply with the current Government social distancing regulations, or exceed the maximum occupancy, then they will politely be asked to leave immediately. If you are looking to book more than 12 months in advance, or for a short midweek break, please message us and we will send you a tailored quote (we don’t set our rates that far ahead)! When booking you are booking both cottages together (no need to make a separate booking for Anvil Cottage). Please note that Orchard Barn on its own sleeps 6 & Anvil Cottage 4 (which is included in the rate), but there is no internal access between the barns due to planning restrictions. We no longer let them out separately, so you will have exclusive use of the hot tub & recreational areas. Orchard Barn is the larger of the 2 barns & is 2 bedroomed (1 double & 1 twin) + a pair of single beds (75cm each) that can be zipped together to create a king sized bed downstairs (see layout diagram in the photo's). This part of the barn sleeps 6 and has catering / dining facilities for up to 10 guests. The upstairs bathroom has a bath with shower over & a shower room downstairs all with under floor heating, contemporary fittings and fully tiled. Please note that the downstairs beds are divided from the main lounge area by a curtain for privacy, not a door. Anvil Cottage is a luxury 2 bedroomed conversion (1 double & 1 bunk bed), it has a kitchen with breakfast table, separate lounge with 2 settee's & a log burner. The fully tiled contemporary bathroom upstairs has a shower over the bath & under floor heating. Both were completed in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) and new to the holiday rental market in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) Please note that whilst they are attached to each other, it is not possible to access the other without briefly going outside (just a few steps across the well lit, private paved area). Our guests tell us that this is ideal as it means that extended families have their own space, but there is ample room in Orchard Barn to socialise together. Many of our bookings have been for family get togethers and re-unions, with 2 night weekend breaks (Fri & Sat nights) for 10 guests from £1,100 plus Air BnB service charges.

The 2 acre paddock is for you to play in. (Please note that this a field, not a garden, and we like to make hay from the grass, so at certain times of the year the grass will be too long to play games in, although we do maintain an area about the size of a tennis court for games and a path all around the perimeter). There are 37 inch Sony LCD TV's & blu-ray players in the lounges of both barns. Free Wi-Fi is available in both barns and there is ample private parking for at least 6 cars.
