Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Basils Barn is situated on the grounds of a 17th century manor, surrounded by a picturesque 60 acre estate. The bedroom is directly attached to Basils stable, where there is a doorway in between the two spaces. In the paddocks we also have a herd of Highland cows, Hebridean sheep, horses, pigs, chickens and Norwegian Forrest cats. Our animals are mostly rescued and all of our animals are kept strictly as pets.

Guest access
Guests have access to an open outdoor log fire with bbq grill, our outdoor tiki hut/seating area, and can take a stroll across the bridge to look at our cows, sheep and horses.

Other things to note
Basil will usually be in the stable from the time you arrive, will stay in there overnight, and then I’ll collect him from the stable in the morning to go back to his field. So please give him some goodbye cuddles!

Please be aware there is a horse next door and therefore potential for noise and smell.
