1.      EMILY's  BARN -   Sleeps 12 + 2

We are pleased to announce that Emily's  Barn a detached stone built barn  is now available for hire - sleeping a total of 12 + 2 people, all dining together and seated together in the lounge.   The barn was originally three barns joined together, the middle one having a first floor hayloft.

The barn has glazed doors the east and west elevations, with four cart openings to the West Elevation in total which is now  glazed.   The  East Elevation has 4 wide glazed entrance doors letting the morning light flood through.   

One point of interest is that the barn is heated from a ground source heat extraction unit, fed from two boreholes in the Croft.   The heat extracted is fed through underfloor pipes throughout the ground and first floor of the barn so the temperature doesnt fall at night.   The hot water is also heated from the same system.
