Is Ridge Cottage Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

Groups Will Love...

The exposed stone walls and original beams define Ridge Cottage's barn character throughout the accommodation. These authentic features have been carefully preserved during conversion, maintaining the building's agricultural heritage. The stonework provides natural insulation whilst creating genuine rural atmosphere. Combined with the wood-burning stove, these original elements make this barn feel like a proper countryside retreat rather than a modern build.

Pet Friendly

Ridge Cottage does not accept pets during your stay. The working farm location means livestock graze in surrounding fields, which isn't suitable for visiting dogs. You'll need to arrange care for your pets elsewhere. The barn's rural setting and nearby woodland would otherwise be perfect for dog walking, but the farm animals take priority in this countryside location.
