Let there be light!

It's now two weeks away before the first block of 6 suites will be open, and there's still a fair bit to do!

The photo above shows a imperious 6 metre high lamp that will be the centre piece of the car park area at the rear of the rooms. Not only is it very attractive, but it sheds plenty of light to assist those arriving in darkness.

Huge 42 inch TVs have been installed in the first 6 suites, as well as the joinery. Bathrooms are almost complete and the carpet will be laid on Wednesday. After that it's a case of installing all of the fixtures and fittings and landscaping around the block of 6, including laying all of the paving. So really it will be a walk in the park to have the rooms ready!

.....and the winners are...

Drum roll please....we've now after a little bit of toing and froing settled on the names for our new rooms adjacent to reception.

The Piano Bar
Tipping our hat at the musical heritage of the Cleve's family, the cosy lounge will feature a grand piano. Hopefully we'll be able to entice Dale to tickle the ivories from time to time.

The Oak Tree Room
The new conference/function room will be known henceforth as The Oak Tree Room, recognising the highly regarded gardens that surround the property. More specifically guests will look out onto a magnificent, stately and very rare Algerian oak tree, that is one of the hallmarks of The Barn's garden.
