Owner's Description

Wagtail Barn is the second of our two bedroomed properties and has different feel to it -- the windows generally look into the old yard, but the views enjoyed from Swallow can still be appreciated from the kitchen/dining room and landing windows!

The front door leads to a small entrance hall, off which is the downstairs shower room with WC and basin.

The sitting room has a three-piece suite, television, radio/CD player and occasional furniture.

Two steps from the sitting room lead to the kitchen-diner. This is equipped with electric cooker, microwave and fridge-freezer. There is a 'back' door into a secluded lawned area.

Upstairs, from the entrance hall, one bedroom has a double bed; the other, two singles. Both rooms have pine wardrobes.

Things You Need To Know

The 'barns' at Budds are converted farm buildings grouped around the old yard. We have four properties -- two with one bedroom and two for four guests. As well as the yard, each cottage has use of a lawned area with garden furniture.

Additionally, there is a communal utility room (known as Wren) equipped with washing machine, tumble dryer, books, maps, leaflets, Wellington boots and many other things that have proved useful to previous guests.
