It combines the traditional features of stone and oak floors and beams, with contemporary fixtures and fittings. Suitable for families, groups of friends and corporate bookings. Please contact Stephanie for price for more than 16 guests. Please note, due to the limitations of the Airbnb listing system, the top floor bedroom has been listed as 2 bedrooms. However, it is one very large room, divided into 2 sleeping areas, with one ensuite. There is no door dividing the 2 areas. This room has 7 single beds and a queen bed. The Granary Barn Completed during the January ‘21 lockdown, The Granary Barn is a converted grain barn. It provides a large open space for multiple uses on the ground floor including dining or activities. On the first floor is a games room with full sized snooker table, football table, poker table and chill out seating area. There is also a 120" screen and projector with bluetooth, USB and HDMI connections. The ground floor area can accommodate around 50 people seated at 4 long tables. The 3 bedrooms are located in The Apple Barn on 2 floors. The bedroom on the third floor is very large and takes up the entire floor space. The bedroom space is divided into 2 sleeping areas, with space for lots of extra single beds, if required . We only use proper rigid beds, not fold up ones. A comprehensive description of the rooms, bedrooms and beds available, is listed below. Please note that we can provide extra beds in all the bedrooms - but please request these as they will not automatically be provided. Please also note that the second floor bedroom is accessed via a spiral staircase so not suitable for those with mobility difficulties or very young children. The 2 areas on the top floor have a partial wall dividing them and share one bathroom. All rooms are served by fibre optic wifi. We have another property next door. with plentiful beds and bedrooms. Both properties can be rented together, subject to availability The house is the perfect location to celebrate Christmas, New Year's Eve, birthdays, anniversaries etc, etc. Please contact us for details and to discuss what you have in mind. It is also ideal for business get togethers, especially in conjunction with our other house next door. The ground floor is open-plan with a spacious sitting room (with 4 sofas), kitchen and dining room. There is a large inglenook fireplace in the sitting room with log-burning stove, TV, DVD player. During the whole of December, there will be a living Christmas tree and decorations. The kitchen is well appointed with electric range cooker, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, breakfast bar and TV. The dining room has a long refectory table with seating for 16+ people. There is also a utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer, freezer and downstairs cloakroom. There are two outside areas. At the front of the property there is a lawned area with terrace and hot tub. To the side is an enclosed circular terrace with dining area and parasol. This effectively creates an outdoor dining room in fine weather. The hot tub is available to hire for £200 per stay. Please let us know if you wish to hire this. Well-behaved pets are welcome but must be kept on the ground floor of the property and supervised at all times. Please note, there is a part of the garden which is enclosed but the property is not fenced on all sides. There is an extra charge of £50 for one pet, £25 per pet for additional pets. Please let us know how many pets you are bringing and we will send you a separate payment request. The Airbnb system only allows you to input one pet, so we have set the default price for 2 pets. Please abide by the pet rules contained in the house rules. The house can comfortably accommodate a large family or group of friends that don't mind sharing. There are plenty of extra beds available, but obviously the more beds you add, the more snug the accommodation becomes and the more people sharing the 3 bathrooms. Please note that for more than 10 guests there is an extra guest charge of £75/guest/night. There is a minimum 2 night requirement at weekends. If you have more than 16 guests, or are planning an extended stay (more than 2 nights) please contact Stephanie to discuss the price. Bedrooms There are 2 good sized ensuite bedrooms on the first floor and family suite with one ensuite bathroom on the second floor. The first floor bedrooms have king sized beds (5 foot). Bedroom 1 is ensuite with bath and separate shower. It has a king size bed and a single bed. There is also space in this room for two additional single beds. Bedroom 2 is ensuite with bath/shower. It has space for2 additional beds (the space is snug with max extra beds in situ). Bedroom 3 has a Queen (4ft 6") and 7 single beds These bedrooms share an ensuite bathroom with bath. All the beds, including the extra beds, are proper beds. There is a double sofa bed in the sitting room. Cots and highchairs are also available. I'm happy for 18 people plus infants and pets to stay and there is enough room to seat 18 or more in the dining room and in The Granary Barn. There are enough beds for 18 people, not including the sofa bed - but you should be aware that the accommodation would be very snug if you had that many people sharing the facilities. The Granary Barn adds to habitable space and can be set up for dining as well as multiple other uses (see the photos for some ideas). Please ask for details if you have a specific activity in mind. At Christmas there will be a Christmas tree and decorations and there is a plentiful supply of logs for the wood burner and chiminea throughout the year..
