The Laing Barn comprises Raven Howe and Round Knott cottages.
Entrances to the two cottages are adjacent, onto the shared patio in the
courtyard. There
are no internal joining doors, however access between is also
possible via the shared first floor balcony.
The building, which dates to around 1880, was one of the very
first undertakings by near neighbour John Laing - founder of the
company which built the M1, the M6, Coventry Cathedral and the Millennium
Dome!
Round Knott has a double and two single bedrooms, Raven Howe has a four
poster double, twin and full-size bunk bedrooms. Normal sleeping
capacity therefore totals ten.
Both have spacious first floor open plan living areas with exposed
beams, natural stonework and log burning stoves. For more details see
under
Round Knott and
Raven Howe.
A new first floor balcony extends the full length of the Laing Barn, and
features not one but two outdoor hot tubs bubbling away ready for use.
