Welford is a village on England's historic coaching routes, with a pub, shop and access to the Grand Union Canal within walking distance. The surrounding countryside offers footpaths and quiet lanes for exploring. Tansers Barn, a converted cattle building over 200 years old, sits on the village outskirts as a self-contained retreat for two.
The barn has a ground-floor open-plan living and dining area with a separate kitchen, plus a shower room. Spiral stairs lead to a mezzanine bedroom with a double bed. The essentials—heating, electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels—are included. A fully equipped kitchen lets you cook for yourselves, or the village pub is within reach. Outside, a private patio with countryside views has garden furniture and a wood-fired hot tub for two; there's also a barbecue. Parking for two cars is on site. No smoking is permitted.
The property is one of two carbon-neutral barns at Sulby Barns, finished to a high standard with a contemporary feel throughout.

What guests say
A charming and peaceful retreat from the hustle of everyday life. Stunning lake views, a warm wood-fired sauna, and a relaxing hot tub — an ideal setting for rest and renewal. Big thanks to Sylvia, Jan, and Tim for providing such a wonderfully cozy haven!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow! When my husband asked what I'd like to do for my 40th birthday and I said "stay in a lodge by water, with a hot tub", I never thought we would stay somewhere so magical only an hour from home. Owl's Rest was incredible, so cosy, everything you could possibly need was there. The hot tub and sauna added to the relaxation in such a wonderful way, relaxing with nothing but bird song around us. We were mesmerised by the reservoir, which could be seen from so many locations in the lodge. Sitting on the decking under blankets on the sun loungers in the evening while a little robin bravely visited us was so special. Leaving our worries at the main gate and switching off from the day-to-day was just what we needed. We both agreed we will be back, and I've recommended to so many friends and family already. Thank you so much for having us!

Would highly recommend Sulby Reservoir Retreats. Beautiful location and log cabins. Sylvia, Ian and Tim went above and beyond and looked after my bike which arrived before I did. Will definitely be back again in the near future. Thank you!

A quiet, tranquil retreat to get away from the hurly burly of everyday life. Would highly recommend.
