Bremen's Barn - Fielder Adventure Holidays - Active Adventure Holidays in The UK, Sweden & Spain

Bremen's Barn is perhaps most unusual in the fact that it is largely upside-down!  The living area, kitchen and dining areas are upstairs, along with bedroom 4.  The remaining three bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the ground floor comfortably accommodating up to 9 people. For the comfort of non-smoking guests and staff, smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the accommodation buildings. You are, of course, welcome to smoke outside.
The Hallway. The front door opens into a flag stoned hall with an antique and tiled pine washstand and an old pine box seat.  To your left is the shower room.
Bathroom. Past the stairs and down the hall is the bathroom, which is beautifully decorated with some pictures from the Pears Soap archives! It's very warm and has a beamed ceiling. It's perfect for a quiet and relaxing soak in the bath!

Shower Room. The door to the shower room is made from stripped pine and has a lovely stained glass panel inset. The shower, a Mira, is fed off the main system and provides a generous flow of water!  It also features a very unusual mirror, which has to be seen to be believed! To your right is bedroom 1.

Bedroom 1. A large bedroom with curtained canopy, antique pine drawers, bedside cabinets and a mirror which has been converted from an old sash window.

Bedrooms 2 and 3. Further down the hall are bedrooms 2 and 3.  Bedroom 2 has bunk beds and walls with some of the stonework exposed.  Bedroom 3 is a large room with three single beds.  It also houses a lovely antique pine wardrobe, old chest of pine drawers and beside cabinets.

 

Bedroom 4. On the left is a very pretty bedroom with a beautiful truss just in front of the back wall and a Velux Window.  There is also thick set pine and tiled mirror, antique chest of old pine drawers and a soft chair.  The floor has a rug and polished floorboards.

Staircase & Landing. The staircase leading from the entrance hall, doubles back on itself and at the top is a landing with an unusual antique cabinet from Japan. On your right at the top of the stairs, set in the middle of a large roof truss is a large old pine door.  When you open this, you walk into a spacious and open area, split by two trusses, which again, can be walked through. They provide the three divisions for the kitchen, living room and dining room.

The Kitchen. Handmade by a local craftsman in re-claimed pine.  There is a cooker, microwave, toaster, kettle and fridge (all in matching dark green), and a Bosch dishwasher.  On the wall, is a large antique pine cupboard.
The Dining Room. Has two antique tables, each with four chairs, which can be arranged to suit your requirements, or left separately for that perfect adults/children split that may be welcomed after a long day!

The Sitting Room. Is placed in-between both of the old trusses and is most unusual.  It has a lovely old pine carved church pew, a small and surprisingly comfortable fireside chair, two sofas and another soft chair. There are also a couple of old Elm stools. In addition to the central heating a Morso cast iron stove has been fitted. It's a great area to sit and relax, or alternatively you may chose to stand with your head out of one of the Velux Windows, admire the view and enjoy the beautiful fresh air!
