Siskin Barn, Near Stratford-upon-Avon, sleeps 9 guests in 4 bedrooms

Stepping into Siskin Barn, you're immediately taken away by the peaceful ambience of this place. At the heart of the home is a beautiful light-speckled dining area, where a long table hosts nine guests thanks to benches lined with comfortable faux fur cushioning. To the right of the dining area, a quiet living area with a sumptuous sofa and wood burner offer a place for adults to relax and switch off. Meanwhile, to left you'll find the kitchen ripe for rustling up farm shop finds, and a snug simply made for the kids.

Wander past the floor to ceiling windows in the dining area and you'll find bedrooms one and four on the right hand side of the home. Here you'll quickly feel the calming ambience of Siskin Barn's first floor, where there's more than enough room for extended friends and family. Stroll back downstairs, through the snug and up the stairs to discover bedrooms two and three, which sit on the left part of the barn. Mirroring the serene feel of the rest of the home, they're punctuated by traditional beams that infuse this place with rural charm.

As the glowing sun sinks below the skyline, take a seat at Siskin Barn's abundant seating area before heading around the corner for an evening dip in the hot tub, or whipping up a feast on the BBQ. If you're feeling like a wander, don't forget to check out the beautiful River Avon and its early 15th century bridge.
