Welcome

Dairy Barn is a luxury 5* Gold Award three-bedroom barn conversion located in an idyllic and peaceful rural setting on a working farm.  It was originally built in the 1800’s of traditional stone as a dairy parlour but has been tastefully converted and furnished to a very high standard.  It offers three en-suite double bedrooms (sleeping 6), a large well equipped kitchen with Aga and an electric oven & hob, separate dining room and spacious lounge with a wood-burner and SKY TV.  It also has a private 2-acre woodland garden for exclusive use by guests.
