Sleep

We’ve kept the character of our Barn – beams, stone, iron-work - but its comforts are very much contemporary.

It has a sociable living space, a fabulous kitchen and four sumptuous bedrooms, each with its own sparkling bathroom, the dreamiest of beds, luxe Hungarian goose-down duvets and gorgeous Cumbrian toiletries from The Bath House… It’s the little things that count and we have lots of those to surprise you.
