Perfectly appointed for two to stay, look forward to a romantic break with your nearest and dearest in this truly rural location. This lovingly updated barn conversion can be found on a 13-acre estate belonging to the owner, with two further properties available to rent for larger groups, and the owner's fascinating horse-drawn vehicle collection sat waiting to be explored.
