Spacious living room
One of the outstanding features of Rhodds barn is the 50 foot long living area with an extensive library; a powerful wood-burning stove (as much wood as guests could want is provided free) plus there is additional central heating serving the bedrooms and downstairs shower room. The two story windows on each side and the French doors leading out onto the gardens with pond and the countryside beyond.
On the ground floor there is a well-equipped kitchen and an additional shower room plus toilet. Upstairs, there is a large additional sitting area with television and then two bedrooms, both with bathrooms ensuite. In addition there is an attractive balcony which looks out onto a wild-life pond with views of the countryside to the south – a perfect place for a drink at the end of the day.

We also have a genuine 1959 Wurlitzer in the barn with 200 original records from the 50s/60s/70s. And you don’t have to put any money in it!
The barn has a fine Broadwood grand piano, but past its best, guests are most welcome to play it. There are also a wide variety of other musical instruments, principally brass, which guests are welcome to play, but they are intended more for decoration than proper use!!
Before contacting us about a booking, please check the availability calendar.
Rhodds Barn is exceptionally fortunate by being set in beautiful gardens; open fields and an ancient wood, all of which guests are free to explore and enjoy.

Also eight species of butterfly: Orange Tip; Green-veined White; Holly Blue; Peacock; Small Tortoiseshell; Red Admiral; Brimstone; Speckled Wood. And an interesting and beautiful small moth: the Green Longhorn, one of the fairy longhorn moths. (Adela reaumurella). Antennae are 3x the body length in the male 1.5x in the female. A fairly common woodland edge moth but the foodplant of the young caterpillar is still unknown. Older caterpillars feed on fallen dead oak leaves. Males display dance in groups in the sunshine to attract females!We saw lots of holly leaves with leaf mines in them. These are made by the larvae of the Holly Leaf-mine, a small fly (Phytomiza ilicis). Most leaf miners (e.g. blackberry leaves commonly) are made by small moths.
