🏡Foggs' Barn is a charming stone barn in our farmyard which has been converted into a comfortable and characterful holiday home that is well equipped for modern living.
🐄The barn is set in our farmyard on the outskirts of The Peak District village of Butterton.
🛏The property has three bedrooms, one en-suite shower room and an additional shared shower room.
*🔥Wood fired Hot tub available for an additional charge. This needs to be arranged beforehand. Please ask before booking. The wood fired hot tub is filled and heated by guests and this takes about 3 hours before it’s ready for use. If you want to use the tub on your first evening, it is worth remembering to start heating the tub up as soon as you arrive.
🌳The location of our property is in quiet countryside a few minutes walk from the centre of our village, Butterton, where there is the Black Lion Inn that serves locally sourced food and real ales (advisable to book).
🐄Historically, Foggs' Barn was part of the old dairy and also has housed 10 cows and the bull through the long winter months, keeping them snug, well fed and sheltered from the elements.
🛏Now it can accommodate 6 guests in three bedrooms with super king zip and link beds, which can also be made up as 6 single beds.
🌳All of our guests who visit Fenns Farm Accommodation say that the barn makes the perfect base for getting away from the pressures and stresses of modern life. Our guests have fallen in love with the idyllic Manifold Valley that's just a short walk away. The spectacular Thors Cave awaits.
