The Barn: Gorgeous alternative to a hotel room

The Barn is a self contained annex attached to our house, The Old Bakery, but with its own private access. We also have "The Cob" and "The Bakehouse", each suitable for 2 adults. Situated in an idyllic quiet position overlooking our garden and field beyond, in the historic village of Thriplow. A minutes walk and you reach the award winning community run gastro pub. Only 8 miles from Cambridge, so perfect for working in the city or surrounding area - a homely alternative to a hotel. The space The Barn annex is a new addition to the original Old Bakery house. The fixtures and fittings have been chosen with loving care and attention to detail and to the highest possible standard - specifically with Airbnb in mind. It is a new build with a contemporary and stylish ambience. We have developed The Barn accommodation specifically for guests who are looking for a more flexible and homely alternative to a hotel. The Barn kitchen includes 'slow cooker', a combination microwave oven (with grill) and a portable electric hob, but if you're looking for a more substantial kitchen (plus also a separate sofa/sitting area) please look on Airbnb at our other two properties, 'The Bakehouse Thriplow' and 'The Cob Thriplow' as both have conventional ovens and hobs and sofas. The Barn accommodation includes; a large bedroom (with King size bed), two comfortable chairs to relax in (whether to read/watch TV/enjoy the view), desk with lamp and chair (perfect workspace with a view!), radio and Smart TV; a lobby area (with another table & two chairs); a separate kitchen with sink, fridge, kettle, combination microwave oven (with grill), a portable electric hob, a 'Crock Pot' slow cooker (but please note no conventional oven nor hob), toaster, washing machine, Nespresso coffee machine, and a bathroom (with walk in shower inc. rainfall shower head and a separate bath, mirror with shaver socket, basin and toilet). Guest access The black park style railing gate is the entrance to our property and The Barn has its own exclusive parking area on the our driveway. Guests have full access to the courtyard area immediately outside The Barn. There is an outside table and chairs so you can sit and watch the world go by, perhaps whilst enjoying your coffee and complimentary 'Welcome pack' breakfast. (We provide milk, coffee, tea (inc herbal), muesli/granola, yoghurt, bread, spread and jam/marmalade - more than enough for your first night!) The rear garden is private with no access for Airbnb guests.
