The Barns at Holy Well, Nr Stratford-upon-Avon

Burrowed in the breathtaking estate grounds, The Barns is comprised of two opulently designed boltholes - The Stables and The Coach House - which stand proudly next to one another in a sun-infused courtyard. Accommodating up to 10 guests in five bedrooms, The Barns make the most serene setting for gathering your loved ones or celebrating a special occasion. Four dogs welcome for an additional fee. The space Steeped in rich history, this majestic coach house and nearby stables strike a harmonious balance between historic character and silky, high-end design. Emblems of rich Victorian heritage run throughout both properties, including a magnificent open fireplace (said to be the largest in Warwickshire), traditional windows and nostalgic leather riding equipment adorning exposed stone walls. Lovingly restored with immaculate detail, each offers a splendid stay in the grounds of a Grade II listed country house surrounded by emerald green pastureland that's home to flocks of sheep and a herd of cows, segments of the rivers Itchen and Stowe, and a vibrant ecosystem of fish, otters, herons and swans. And whether you rustle up farm shop finds in The Coach House's chic kitchen, settle down with a book in The Stables' cosy sitting area, or rest your head in one of five luxurious bedrooms, you'll enjoy references to each property's historical past amid sparkling contemporary finishes. As the sun slowly sinks across the rural skyline, take a seat on The Coach House's charming terrace, or in The Stables' sweet garden complete with an arched gate, and cheers a drink or two to your stay. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of colourful fireworks being set off from one of nearby Dallas Burston Polo Club's magical events. The Stables Ground floor Sitting Area: Framed by charming wooden stable panels, the snug makes for the cosiest of spots to gather friends and family, or curl up with a book after a day exploring.

Kitchen: The Stables' immaculate kitchen fuses the old with the new in fine fashion.
