Caen Byre
Cottage Information
Converted from a traditional Byre (cattle shed!) into a beautiful detached cottage. Fully renovated and restored in winter 2018 and reopening in early summer 2019 - photos will be uploaded on completion! A traditional two up, two down layout with a fully enclosed south facing courtyard garden overlooking the landscaped gardens - our favourite cottage for barbeques and outdoor dining. In winter, the lounge with big, comfy corner sofa and wood burning stove is particularly inviting. Fully equipped traditional cottage kitchen with dining table. The king bedroom has lovely views of the river and beyond and the second bedroom can sleep up to four, featuring a luxury double bunk bed! Bathrooms upstairs and downstairs. The large tiled entrance porch makes Caen Byre well suited to those with dogs, muddy children or bulky outdoor gear.
