About the barn
Kingfisher Barn is a working farm restoration project that's been running since the early 1990s. Most rooms still have the original beams — patched, preserved, never replaced.
"The river runs past the bottom of the garden. The kingfishers come most mornings."
Companies House registration 02689174, active since 1992. Four-star B&B rating since restoration. The breakfast room is the old hayloft; the cottages are converted stables and the dairy.
Guests say
We've come back every spring for six years. Same room, same walk to the river, same breakfast at the long table.
