The barn stood derelict for years. Now it's No 4, a semi-detached stone house done out in modern style but keeping the Victorian bones. There's a big kitchen-dining room and a generous sitting room, two bathrooms, and beds for seven across two kings, a twin and a single. Larger groups often take it alongside No 5 next door, which opens up the Smiddy and a bigger garden between them.

Out the back you get a private yard with a Big Green Egg, which they reckon is about the best barbecue going. Fifty metres down a woodland path sits your own Swedish wood-fired hot tub. Beyond that, the run of the estate: the BYOB Glen Dye Arms with its log fire and record player, the General Stores for local produce and the odd bag of dog food, eggs from the hens, veg from the garden when it's growing. Dogs welcome.
