Facilities

Sleeps Twelve+ is a good size !

We have three barns available for the summer and two barns all year round – so whatever the occasion its good to be together !

All the barns have two bedrooms and two bathrooms with Cider Barn having an extra single sofabed – travel cots/stairgates and highchairs are in all of the barns too. Each barn has one King bedroom and one twin with Cider Barn and Apple Cottage you can zip these up into a King if you need to. We are very flexible and will do our best to accommodate your needs – Well behaved dogs are welcome in Cider Barn.

You will have exclusive use of the pool and grounds – with two large BBQ’s situated by the Gazebos in the gardens within sight of the play area and thirteen acres of gardens, stream, woodland and orchards to explore. Plenty of parking for cars and boats.

All of our local takeaways deliver to the barns and all the major grocery outlets deliver – we are happy to put this away for you prior to your arrival. Welcome Hamper in each barn on arrival to make sure you have a cuppa or glass of something chilled before you unpack !

We can organise pampering from a local beautician to come to the barns. If you wish to have a special memory keepsake of the family together we can organise a professional photographer too !

Call us to discuss your requirements and we will do our best to ensure that your holiday is one to remember.

Please note I am afraid we do not accept Stag Parties.

Lower Grimptonleigh Teddies are waiting to be loved and cuddled when you little ones are here and available to purchase as a momento or gift.

We have a dedicated play area for children which is located just off the main garden, whilst partially hidden behind the hedge through a wooden gate. This is where your little ones can be a pirate or princess on the Monkey Puzzle play equipment. It is near to both Cider and Top Barn and overlooks the fields.

The stream runs through this area for plenty of splashing too.

Picnic Benches are also placed so you can watch and supervise your children.

We are continually updating with more play equipment for your little ones to enjoy.

Eating Alfresco in the two Crown Pavilion Gazebo’s which are made from cedarwood with plump seating and cushions. You can unzip all or some of the sides for fantastic views of the orchard and valley beyond or if inclement weather and evening use, you can keep it zipped up, put the heater and lights on in a comfy cozy atmosphere.

Whether it be a family or friends gathering or romantic candlelight supper you will not be disappointed, they are sited within the orchard within easy access to the barns.

Adjacent to the gazebo’s are Classic Webber BBQ’s which are gas fired for ease and utensils are provided – you just need to decide who’s going to be Chef !

Picnic tables are provided in the Childrens Play Area and around the gardens or just grab a blanket, pack yourself a picnic and find a nice spot under the apple trees or down by the stream in the wood – there is plenty of choice !

Each barn has its own Rattan Garden Set with Parasol on a terrace for you to enjoy the views right outside your own Barn.
