About this property
... a detached cottage in beautiful, remote wooded countryside about 300 yards from Tarr Steps (medieval bridge over a pretty river) and a pub/good restaurant (across the river), down a narrow lane a mile from Hawkridge. This is one of the best spots on the moor for fishing; 7 miles of trout and salmon fishing (fly only), by arrangement (extra). Riding stables nearby; fishing and shooting tuition can be arranged. The cottage is spacious, south-facing, with enclosed garden looking towards a steep wooded cleave (red deer).
Inside, bright and full of light with good-sized windows and lovely paintings and prints. Hall. Big kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, tumble drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, breakfast table/chairs. Very large open-plan living/dining room with open fire, TV/DVD/video and French windows to the garden. Shower-room (suite with surround power-shower). Steep stairs (stairgates) up to three bedrooms – the master double (5' bed), a small twin (2’6" beds), and another small double (limited clothes-hanging space); bathroom (suite plus hand-shower). More steep stairs up to two attic double bedrooms (limited clothes-hanging space), one with 6' zip-linked bed or twin, the other with 5' bed, and bathroom (suite, shower over bath), all with low headroom. Spring water. A wonderful, peaceful setting: birdsong and the sound of the river the only intrusion.

"We loved our week at Barn Cottage, the weather was prefect. The cottage suited our needs perfectly as we had 4 dogs and a cat. The enclosed, secure garden was prefect for the dogs and the lay out downstairs was good for all staying. A truly wonderful location the walks from the house were superb and the peace and quiet was wonderful. Thank you."

"We had a lovely weekend in this cosy and well equipped cottage, certainly the warmest holiday property we have stayed in. Lovely large living room with open fire. Nice big range cooker and plenty of dishes, pots and pans for a larger group than we four. Great walks from the cottage and enclosed garden a real asset for the dogs. "
