The second room consists of an en-suite master bedroom with a king size bed, roll-top bath and rainfall shower. Please note that bathroom is within the bedroom as shown in the photographs. Attention to detail is everywhere, with quirky touches such as the hand crafted kitchen and many rustic finishes reflecting the barn’s rural heritage.

The large window in the living area offers breathtaking views across the dale, and you may well find a sheep gazing in at you as you gaze out!
