Accommodations
Crafts Hill Barn offers three individually designed units: the Dragonfly Cabin with direct views of the swimming pond, the Wildflower Wagon with an outdoor wood-fired bathtub, and the Cowshed featuring a large bath and private entrance. Each unit has a kitchenette, dining area, and flat-screen TV with Bluetooth speaker, and is heated with its own thermostat. Rooms are stocked with homemade flapjacks and fresh fruit on arrival, and guests receive a welcome drink of their choice.
Dining
Breakfast is delivered to the room the evening before and includes fresh bread, pastries, yoghurt, juice, and homemade jams, with hot options like a full English cooked on an Aga for weekend stays. Guests can order a gardener's platter or beef cheek chilli for dinner, or use the pizza oven kit to make their own pizzas. Special diet menus are available, and the on-site honesty shop sells wine, beer, ice cream, and midnight snacks.
