The West Wing at Barn Owl Hollow was a cowshed and is now a spacious and comfortable room overlooking a pretty courtyard in a converted barn. It has a wonderful countryside location and views.

Full en-suite & shared use of large kitchen. Market Harborough 10 mins.

We also have the "Falconer's Lodge" on the same site, self catering which sleeps five. It is also listed..

The space

The West Wing (during the conversion we hadn't decided on a final use for this part of the house so we called it the West Wing and it has stuck) is a very spacious and characterful ground floor double room overlooking a pretty courtyard. The West Wing has an en-suite with shower and bath. Although entry is via the shared front door your room is then on its own at the west of the building, linked to the kitchen by a short glass walkway.

While I have not ticked the "child friendly" box it is only because the room has only a double bed. If you have a baby/toddler and have a travel cot that should not be a problem. Do let us know when you book.

It is in a converted barn situated in private 10 acre grounds recently planted with some woodland which you are welcome to explore. The country view is wonderful and we are in the middle of a good walking route (across "The Langton Caudle" ). It is home to Bird on the Hand falconry experiences so we have a host of birds of prey to look at. Our nearest neighbours are half a mile away so we have a very peaceful location.

Guest access

You are welcome to shared use of our large kitchen. Breakfast cereal, fruit and toast or croissants are provided and if you prefer something else, just let us know and we can do some shopping and maybe even some cooking depending on our schedule for the day. There are some excellent local pubs and restaurants. Ample parking, secure cycle storage and free Wifi connection.

Interaction with guests

My wife Evelyn and I look forward to welcoming guests and hope they will happily share our home. I work from home doing falconry experience days and Evelyn is a lecturer hoping to retire soon.
