Inside Artichoke Barn

Inside the barn, you'll find a thoughtfully styled space that blends rustic character with gentle luxury. The oak beams and stone walls are original to the 18th-century building, while the furnishings are soft, comfortable, and curated with care.

​

The conservatory room offers tranquil views of the garden - the perfect spot for slow morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as the sun sets. With its private entrance and elegant interior, it’s a space designed for rest and quietude.
