5* Barn Conversion c/w hot tub, sauna, games room, 1/4 acre enclosed games

Finished to the highest of standards, this luxurious barn conversion stands detached, and offers top quality fixtures and fittings within a modern setting yet still manages to retain all of its original character and charm.
The property is access via secure electric gates (the key code is provided when booking). The gates are controlled via either the outside keypad or the control panel located in the entrance hallway which provides sound and colour monitor for guests. The property sits in 1/4acre plot.
Spacious, light and airy throughout, the cottage is modern and bright. On the ground floor guests will find an open-plan sun room c/w vaulted ceiling that overlooks the garden and has bi-fold doors that open out on to a large decking area and then lead even further along, onto a superb outdoor seating area and then again onto a fabulous hidden area with private sauna and CD/radio sound system. Further still to a secluded 6/7 person hot tub with 139 x jets c/w a 37" satellite TV.

Upstairs the vaulted ceiling master bedroom offers a super kingsize heated waterbed together with a single bed, exposed beams, TV, DVD player, original exposed stone and an en-suite bathroom worthy of the highest of star gradings, with his and hers basins, towel rail, large walk in shower area and extra large free standing bath.
Every aspect of Winnie Cottage has been lovingly renovated and the attention to detail is super. The kitchen takes up the whole of the lower ground floor (accessed via a spiral staircase) and has been designed to allow the natural light to flow through via a light channel, which runs the entire length of the kitchen.

Barn Conversion
I stayed here with my Son, Daughter in law and 2 Daughters, and 3 Grandchildren, the barn Conversion was absolutely fabulous, it had everything you needed and it was so spacious, The kitchen erea outside with a separate games room was fantastic, we spent all our time outside. Michelle and Mark our hosts were lovely i asked if they could arrange some decorations for my Daughters 50th birthday as a surprise and they were beautiful also had a bottle of Prosecco chilling too. The welcome pack was fantastic. The only problem for me was the glass coffee table in the sitting room my Grandson was keep bumping into it so we had to remove it out of there and also the dinning erea glass table i think both tables need some sort of protection on the corners where children are. The hotrub was a great size and views from hottub were spectacular. We all had a fabulous time. Thank you Michelle and Mark for being lovely hosts.

Outstanding - way too much to enjoy to sum up in 1500 words!!
I live in Cumbria. This properties location means it experiences very similar weather to what I'm used to. This is the only holiday property I've ever visited where so much thought has been put into the design of both the inside AND outdoor space so that no matter what the weather you are able to enjoy all the facilities all the time. Not the easiest place to find, even following the excellent directions, there were occasions towards the end of the arrival trip that we thought we'd gone wrong... just when you think you've turned into a final blind narrow alley there appear some heavy black gates which open automatically, allowing access to... well... I might aswell say it... a PERFECT oasis... A beautiful barn conversion, with a great layout. The gorgeous cellar/kitchen. The lovely open lounge area with a stunning - how to describe it?... television doesn't really do it justice... lets call it a Bang and Olufsen audio visual sculpture 😄 Great orangery/dining room leading out to the main outside space with kennelling for visiting dogs - the great part of that is that dogs brought by holidaymakers have virtual free range of the house, the kennels are there to cater for gun dogs/working dogs who would prefer to sleep outside the house. Theres an outdoor sauna, a covered spa with an outside TV. There's also an open air shower... To the front of the property is a large open air covered kitchen and games room. Absolutely 1st Class, reasonably priced too!!

Lovely property and location
Really enjoyed our stay. Spacious, clean, lovely location and property. The welcome hamper was amazing. The host were always quick to respond to any queries. Glad we had a chat with the maintenance person for the hot tub so we could make best use of it. Would have liked a few more cleaning products ie cleaning spray and bin liners.

In need of some TLC and sorting
Lovely house, The listing is not very clear as it’s hard to spot certain information. Was not that clear that the kitchen is located at the bottom of a steep spiral staircase & the dinning room is at the other end of the house. The kitchen is FULL of equipment like blenders etc that do not work. the “state of the art” equipment like the toaster &coffee machine are fiddly and not easy to use as quite old. There was no room to put any of the dry food we brought with us as the rest of the kitchen cupboards were full of cassette tapes, DVDs, VHS tapes & books that are probably not needed since there is sky in every room with Netflix available. not clear that the main bedroom has a waterbed and should be more clear in the bedroom description. there was no spare bedding or pillows provided. The bedroom with the bunk beds is nice & having all the stuffed toys is a nice idea but it does seem a little unhygienic. The listing states a washer dryer is available - but the on button was labelled with “do not touch” so we couldn’t use that. It would be useful to know that there was no cleaning products supplied with the exception of dishwasher tablets which were provided. A sweeping brush or vacuum cleaner would be useful in case there are any spills.The general cleanliness was poor when we arrived including dirty oven trays and crockery. The outside space is lovely and the facilities outside are great. any issues we had during the stay were quickly resolved.

Perfect privacy
I chose Winnie cottage as Winnie was name of my late friend and thought she would guide me to the right spot and she certainly did just that ! I wanted something private after not interacting for a long term period and this was perfect the whole property is secluded with awesome views plenty outdoor space to roam around,well equipped for catering and plenty toys for kids, the only things I’d of changed for our particular party is living area glass coffee table just for the toddler and mayb something around pond and sand the edging of fire pit seat which is a little rough on bare legs,, we hit great with weather so if mark and Michelle looking for any ideas a sail or umbrella for bit shade for hot days and maybe couple more loungers seats facing into the sun. these things were all very minor points and our view as a family but on a whole property is beautiful in a beautiful location and something to be proud of and iam sure in coming years it will only keep improving 😊 and thank you for the gift on arrival 🤗

Lovely house...outside was brilliant!!!
The house was lovely...it looks bigger on the pictures. There are alot of steps and the stairs going down to the kitchen could do with a handrail. Had to wash the cutlery before we could use it (perhaps some wash cloths and teatowels and a spare black bag??) but the kitchen was amazing. Fantastic that Sky was available in every room-great for everyone. The bathrooms were fantastic (perhaps a spare loo roll would be good).The garden facilities-the hot tub was the best I have been in, love the trampoline in the ground-the little one loved it and it felt safe. The garden is totally enclosed so fantastic for children and the dog. A few small things-we had to clean the Japanese grill before we could use it and the heating plate was too dirty so we didn’t use it. We appreciate it is outside but there were mouse droppings in the cupboards and the bin bag hadn't been emptied from the last guests. These are probably things the owners weren't aware of but hopefully they can be rectified because all in all the property is fantastic.
