The 5th bedroom is a double room with beautiful beams and a large TV - perfect for any gamers in the family!
An indoor Utility area is available with washer and dryer. Linen and towels will be provided for 10 people but please advise ahead of arrival if you will be using the Futons and we will arrange for these also to be made up.
The garden is perfect for summer days with a beautiful pergola with huge garden sofa, a hammock, a tree hammock swing bed and sun beds. We have an outdoor dining area and for the kids there is plenty to keep them happy with a heated above ground pool (14ft available from mid April to Sept), a trampoline, football goal and badminton set.
We welcome well-behaved pooches and the garden is fully enclosed to keep them safe. The Barn is surrounded by farmland (no livestock) and there are plenty of public footpaths right on our doorstep for walks through our glorious countryside.
The Location
The Barn is located in a group of 7 properties and you will share a courtyard for parking. We are a 20 minute walk from a really lovely pub/restaurant - roaring fires in winter and sunny beer garden in the summer! We are a 5 min drive from the nearest village of Potton which has everything you need - butchers, bakery, small Tesco, couple of pubs, restaurants and take aways - but if you need a larger town we have a couple within 15 mins drive.
The stunning city of Cambridge is only 25 mins drive with plenty to see and do. London is 40 mins on the train and Luton and Stanstead Airports within an hours drive.
As we have neighbours we do not offer the Barn as a party venue but rather a lovely open social space to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet away from your normal life with friends and family in a beautiful rural setting.
