Pimpernel is luxury personified. Given 5 Stars Top Rated Status by VisitBritain, this converted barn is baronial in its size. The living room measures 35ft by 18ft and the original roof timbers tower over 21 feet above your head. The living area contains two large sofas and an armchair for complete comfort and there is a giant log burning stove to keep you comfortably warm on the coldest evening. It is, of course, also fully centrally heated.

At one end a raised dining area is paved with attractive hand-made Mexican tiles. The large colonial style hardwood table will accommodate six with ease, eight at a pinch, making it ideal for family parties when booked with another cottage. The kitchen is fully equipped to make light of cooking meals for large numbers and includes a dishwasher and a washer/dryer.

The bathroom is memorable, very large and complete with a giant double-sized Jacuzzi, high powered shower cabinet and luxury vanity unit. The master bedroom has a king-sized four poster and en-suite shower room with high powered shower etc. The second bedroom has twin beds. Outside there is a terraced patio for outdoor eating and barbecues plus a private lawned area. An ideal cottage for special events and honeymoons!
