The Hayloft

The Hayloft provides generous accommodation for two people. Situated behind the stable yard it also combines perfectly with The Lodge and The Old Stables for larger groups. The spacious loft has been restored with the original beams, casement windows and granary doors creating a peaceful living space.

With wooden floors and ethnic rugs, soft pink lime washed walls and vintage furnishings, the loft has a relaxed and bohemian feel. The open plan layout has the living area at the south end, with a beautiful view of British Camp from the kitchen casement. The hand-built kitchen has an electric Smeg single oven and ceramic hob, and a microwave, and is fully equipped with a charming retro style fridge and a dining table to seat four people.  The central sitting space, with its comfortable settee and a smart TV with Netflix and Prime Video, is the perfect place to put your feet up with a good book and a glass of wine.

At the north end the sleeping area occupies the original hayloft platform.  Full width woollen curtains can be drawn along the upper beam for privacy and to create a cosy bedroom with a king size bed. In the corner of the loft is a generous modern shower room with basin and WC.

There are two low beams within the Hayloft: one is five foot eight inches and one four foot high.  Please note: You do have to duck under the four foot beam to reach the bedroom, and so this will best suit more agile guests.  The rafters in the sleeping platform are six foot high, but since the ceiling above is very lofty it doesn’t feel at all closed in, and there is a generous head height in the sitting area, kitchen and bathroom.

Although the Hayloft doesn’t have its own private garden, you are invited to use and enjoy the wider gardens of Perrycroft at your leisure, and there are plenty of secret garden rooms in which to picnic or relax.  Without private outdoor space The Hayloft is less suited to dogs, which unfortunately can’t be accommodated.

Beneath the loft are the original stable stalls, which are occasionally used for teas during a Saturday afternoon open garden event in June and September – please enquire if you would like dates and details.
