The main barn sleeps eight in four bedrooms with three bathrooms. The Coach House accommodates two guests in one bedroom with one bathroom. The Studio sleeps two in an open-plan space with one bathroom. All three properties share communal facilities including a games room with pool table and table tennis. Private gardens and patios give each unit outdoor space.

Puzzlewood lies 2 miles away (6 minutes). Clearwell Caves sits 3 miles away (8 minutes). Symonds Yat Rock offers stunning views 6 miles away (15 minutes). Goodrich Castle stands 7 miles away (18 minutes).
