The Dairy & Annex

These are two separate converted farm buildings at Brinkburn, designed to work as one property or independently. The Dairy holds two bedrooms upstairs and down, each with an en-suite bathroom—one fitted with both a freestanding bath and walk-in shower, the other with a shower cubicle. A third bedroom with shower room sits in the Annex, a self-contained annexe behind. The whole thing sleeps six and can be booked as a single unit.

The Dairy's ground floor opens into a large living space with kitchen, dining area and a second sitting room without a television. Upstairs, one of the bedrooms has a Smart TV; downstairs, the other does too. Both main bedrooms have zip-and-link super-king beds that split into twins if you ask. A utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer handles laundry. The Annex, reached separately, offers a quieter retreat with its own bedroom, reading area and bathroom with both bath and shower. Essentials like electricity, heating, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered; one car can park on site. The building does overlook Brinkburn valley, though the angle and distance mean this isn't a panoramic feature. One well-behaved pet stays free. Smoking is not permitted inside.

This works for two families or a group wanting separate sleeping quarters but shared living space, or for anyone who needs a lot of bathrooms relative to bedrooms. The converted farm aesthetic gives it character that a purpose-built holiday home wouldn't have.
