Accommodation Comprises:

Monastery Barn is a detached holiday home in a quiet village with a secure, south-facing garden. Up to four well-behaved dogs are welcome by arrangement with no extra charge.

Downstairs:

  • Soft shades and welcoming touches set the tone for the rest of the house when you step into the entrance hall. The marble floor is a beautiful and practical feature, and there is ample storage space for shoes and coats. A nook under the stairs has a choice of books to help you relax further during your stay.
  • Stay cosy in winter with the log-burning effect fire in the Hornton stone fireplace, snuggling into the sofa underneath a beamed ceiling. Glass doors open onto the south-facing terrace and garden, letting in lots of natural light during the day. The TV has a DVD player and Sky channels, and there's a range of games to suit all ages.
  • There is a dining table seating eight in the lovely dining/family room, with a sofa that opens into a double sofa bed. French doors open into the walled garden.
  • Terracotta tiles, original oak beams, and fresh white Shaker-style cabinets make the kitchen attractive and practical. Appliances include a double-oven, large dishwasher, and a coffee machine.
  • Laundry facilities and a downstairs WC are tucked away in a separate utility/cloakroom.

Upstairs:

  • Bedroom One is luxuriously large, furnished with a king-sized bed and lots of proper storage. The window overlooks the walled garden, a lovely view to wake up to. The ensuite features a rainfall shower over a big bath, a heated towel rail, a WC, and a handbasin.
  • Bedroom Two is another gorgeous king-sized bedroom with garden views. The ensuite has a bath, shower attachment, WC, and hand basin.
  • Bedroom Three has a double bed, lovely garden views, and proper storage.
  • A family bathroom features a bath with a handheld shower attachment, WC and hand basin.
  • All beds have Egyptian cotton bed linen, fully lined curtains, and soft carpet for comfort. Fluffy white bath towels, quality toiletries, and a tray with sparking water and chocolates add to the country hotel atmosphere.

Outside: A south-facing walled garden is securely enclosed with a lawn and a patio—the outdoor dining table seats eight, with a gas barbecue for relaxed summer catering. The garden also has informal seating and sunloungers. A gravel courtyard has parking for up to five cars, and the house is behind an electric gate for greater privacy and security.

Additional Information: Utilities, WiFi, bed linen and bath towels are provided. Short breaks are possible, depending on availability. Smoking is not permitted.
