About this property
Quirky Barn Stay Experience, fully insulated, warm, beautiful mountain views,
If you would like a holiday with a difference you can have the ultimate, quirky barn experience!! Our FULLY insulated, although it may not appear so in the photos, family barn is cosy and warm with all the comforts of home. End walls insulated and roof ( between TWO layers of corrugated iron ). Apple TV with free Netflix, unlimited broadband, wood burner and even a billiard table! Themed throughout as a rustic barn with many things to see and do it has rustic ambiance yet with a touch of the unusual! Ideal for a couple or up to 5 people. Already set up with a permanent king size bed. If you require extra single or double beds please let me know. Our barn is a tunnel barn that has been upgraded with insulation and a second layer of roof making it even cosier for the winter and beyond! It has a wooden staircase up to a mezzanine floor which is open to below. The bedroom upstairs has wall to wall carpet with a permanent king size bed. We also have fold-up camp style beds with thick foam mattresses rather than the usual skimpy ones! These can be placed upstairs or downstairs as singles or two pushed together as a double. Please read the House Rules for details of this. Downstairs is open plan with a polished concrete floor with some carpet and rugs, rustic style kitchen, bathroom, wood fire and a billiard table. The kitchen has an electric oven, microwave and fridge/freezer if you were thinking you might have had to cook on a primus stove and store your food out under a tree! There's most of the essential things a normal kitchen would have. The internal bathroom has a shower, washing machine and civilized toilet but it does have a 'pull chain' just for the fun of it! We also have a clothes dryer in an adjoining room. There is also foozball, darts, cards and board games. Table and chairs provided inside and out. Throw open the big doors so you can soak up the amazing view of the surrounding mountains even from inside! The Barn is located on a lower ledge of land, below and quite separate but in close proximity to our house. It is situated in a quiet, sheltered corner of land overlooking and surrounded by awesome scenery. While there is a newly completed, housing subdivision below, The Barn is on a higher level with majestic mountain views. An access road up to The Barn enables you to drive all the way up to the door with level entry. There is room to turn around and park on site. I prefer to personally greet my guests and show them through on arrival. Being a barn and not a normal house there are a few things you need to know. Hopefully I will be available during your stay but if I was to go away for a couple of days family members live close by and would be available to assist if needed. The Barn previously had a single iron roof (now two layers) enabling full insulation so that it is even cosier for the winter months and beyond! You can fire up the woodburner.... wood provided and there are other heaters. There is Apple TV with free Netflix and there is unlimited Broadband available. Yay!! I also have nearby, my late mother Jill's, 500 strong Modern Porcelain Doll Collection, housed in its own small museum. You are welcome to view this at no charge on request. As I live up above The Barn you can walk up the track or drive up. No need to bring bottled water.....we have the purest, alpine, mineral water (from a private scheme) you could ever imagine coming straight out of our tap, tested regularly and no chemicals added! Every endeavor is made to use and provide Eco friendly consumables where possible. Due to the health risks associated with 5G and if you have this capability on your cellphone, I will respectfully ask that you default to a 4G setting during your stay at this property.
