Brook Barn has been awarded the coveted, ‘highly commended 5 Yellow Stars’ by the AA Guest Accommodation Scheme along with their egg cup and pie award for ‘very special breakfasts and dinners’ so you can be sure of a wonderful stay. The house is a jewel of a hideaway with its fabulous mix of traditional design, comfort and unique atmosphere. The house is set in over an acre of gardens which include an orchard, wild flower meadow and a beautiful chalk stream, with benches and chairs thoughtfully positioned for guests to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Oxfordshire countryside. Brook Barn is equipped to the highest standards, with the extra luxuries you would expect to find in a chic, boutique hotel. Brook Barn, up until a few years ago, was two barns incorporating stables, bull pen and a hayloft. It has been converted into a stunning family home retaining many of the original beams. The sitting room has a double height ceiling with large French windows that open up onto a ‘Mediterranean’ garden on one side and out to Letcombe Brook on the other. The rooms are beautifully but simply decorated and extremely comfortable with Egyptian cotton linen and towels, televisions with Freeview and CD/DVD player. There are office facilities with fax machine, printer, copier/scanner and computer for our guests use and WiFi throughout the house. Soak away all your aches and pains in the hot tub which you will find in the ‘Mediterranean’ garden – one of our favourite areas! Brook Barn has been created by Sarah-Jane and Mark Ashman. Sarah-Jane has run many a country house and a few years ago joined Mark on his luxury charter yacht, both of them entertaining guests and cooking delicious meals in a very small galley. "We have been in the service industry for the last ten years and know what is important to our guests: cleanliness, friendliness, efficiency, an atmosphere which makes you feel immediately at home, delicious food and a break from the hurly burly of everyday life". |
