Barn Conversions

With exposed wooden beams and rural charm galore, it’s easy to see why barn conversions are so popular for rural breaks.  Whether a converted stable, a pig-stye or a grain store, barn conversions are often found on farms or ex-farms, and as such offer a chance to escape to the country or edge of village locations.

Farmstay Holidays

When it comes to country holidays, few choices compare to farmstay breaks where you can rent a holiday cottage or a barn conversion on one of the UK’s farms.  Some rural retreats are on arable farms where only crops are grown whereas others are on working farms where there may be animals like pigs, cows, sheep and hens.  At most farms you can enjoy lovely country views, a more relaxed pace of life as well as peace and tranquillity.
