There is also a separate area, with a table and chairs at the far side, framed by the floor-to-ceiling window, to sit and enjoy the view - an excellent spot to sit and read or just gaze out over the lush countryside opposite. On this floor is a king size double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with bath and hand held shower, WC and hand wash basin as well as another smart twin bedroom, again with en-suite shower room with shower, WC and hand wash basin. The Facilities The Old Barn is in a lovely gated courtyard with parking and a gravelled driveway, a pretty central fountain surrounded by flowering plants, plus a terrace outside the property that has a table and chairs, where you can sit and enjoy drinks and meals in the open air. The indoor heated swimming pool is fabulous – during late afternoon the sun fills the pool area and the deep blue water shimmers in the light. There is a smart changing area for both males and females and the water is warm, you can sit and enjoy a good read on one of the loungers. Please Note the Pool is closed in the winter months from 1.10.23 - 31.3.2024- during this time there is a discount to reflect this.
