Barleycorn Cottage sleeps 2-4 people. It's a cosy cottage all year round. Thick walls, high airy ceilings, deep slate sills and massive oak beams feature throughout. It has a large double bedroom and a spacious twin bedroom so plenty of room for a cot or zed bed if needed. |
The original grindstone in the kitchen |
|
Barleycorn Cottage was part of the old Mill and within its fully-fenced garden is the sunken mill pond, now a lawn. For alfresco meals, there's a cafe table and chairs in the sunken part of the garden with views down the wooded leat and up over the fields. In spring, it's full of snowdrops, bluebells and pink campions. The sheltered wooden verandah at the cottage entrance has a further wooden table. |
The kitchen is light, airy and modern, with an original grindstone in the floor and deep slate window sills. It's fully-equipped with an electric range cooker, microwave, kettle, toaster, washing machine and a fridge with freezer box, and plenty of well-stocked cupboards and storage space. |

It's open-plan from the kitchen to the comfy sitting room, where the cast-iron wood-burning stove and relaxing armchairs and footstools make for cosy evenings, if you're not in the garden.

Views over the gardens and lawns |
From the dining table there are glorious views over the garden, river and wooded valley. |
|
| Upstairs, there's a spacious double bedroom with a wardrobe and antique mahogany chest of drawers, and a old nursing chair in the corner. There are lovely views over the valley.
|
They share a good-sized white-tiled modern bathroom with a small seating area on the landing.
|
And a large twin bedroom, with a fitted wardrobe, old oak chest of drawers and sunny views up over the hill.
