Wild & West: Warren Hill Barn

The ceilings are dizzyingly high – you’ll feel like you’re in an upturned boat. The hand built kitchen is huge and has all a cook may need including a Lacanche range cooker, Miele integrated dishwasher, Quooker taps and large American-style fridge freezer. You are left some local treats to start you off and you eat at a smart dining table. There’s a separate bar with a hand-beaten copper counter, a comfy TV-watching area with an almost cinema-sized screen and a snug with a glass wall which slides out onto the terrace.

Bedrooms (four downstairs, two upstairs) are beautifully designed and very comfortable with squishy duvets and pillows and gleaming bathrooms. The terrace is the same length as the barn and has another table for 12, a barbecue, pizza oven and hot tub. There’s also a lawn for sprawling or playing games.

Stock up in Eye, walk into perfect countryside, head to the coast in under a hour, visit a vineyard, jump onto a steam train.
