Our barn is fully self-contained with its own bar, restrooms, and garden.

We have 8 large en-suite rooms (2 accessible) to accommodate you and your guests (and can recommend additional accommodation nearby).

Additionally, we have a charming country pub, The Flying Fish, on-site, giving you and your guest's options to explore throughout the day.
