Lower Lodge Barn - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms
About
The approach to Lower Lodge Barn is a long and winding farm track that climbs a hill to a fantastic vantage point. From a distance you can see the uber-modern barn exterior - a exceptionally striking sight siting proud at the top of the hill. Spend your evenings sitting outside on the patio eating alfresco from the BBQ and relaxing in the outdoor hot tub as you watch the sun set on the magnificent rolling countryside. Inside is a magnificent atrium-like hallway with stunning high ceilings and a stately split staircase leading up to the hugely impressive, first-floor living-dining-kitchen area and upper terrace. The ground floor is made up of four well-appointed bedrooms, including two king-size rooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and two super king-size bedrooms (with zip and link beds that can be twin or super-king on request), serviced by a large family bathroom and separate cloakrooms. Gather around the super-sized kitchen island and while away the hours socialising with your friends, then serve up at the dining table or, when the weather is right, head out onto the terrace and dine alfresco. Retire to the comfort of the living room where you can kick back and relax on one of the plush and stylish sofas, in front of the woodburning stove while watching a film on the extra-large smart TV. *Please make yourself aware of the hot tub rules and hours of use. An additional fee applies, and it must be requested at the time of booking. *Dogs: 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.
