Das Hotel allgemein
The site at Kingfisher Barn was created by converting traditional farm buildings. Made of red brick, stone and handmade tiles, the barn oozes charm and history, dating back as far as the 17th century. The en-suite bed and breakfast rooms are set in the converted stables surrounding a lovely courtyard garden. The main barn is converted in to two 8-bed lodges and The Nest, a 1-bedroom apartment. Our self-catering cottages have been transformed from the old granary, stores and stables in to properties that sleep 2, 3 or 4 guests. All of our accommodation showcases the characterful features of the original farm buildings whilst creating a relaxing space for you to enjoy! The barn is a wonderful base to enjoy Abingdon and Oxfordshire, with its historical sights, beautiful countryside, independent businesses, eateries and plenty of shopping opportunities. All our accommodation is prepared to a high standard and we strive to meet the needs of each guest, ensuring your stay is both comfortable and memorable. With free fast wifi, guest information packs and tea & coffee facilities as standard in all our accommodation, you should have access to everything you need to make the most of your time with us. If you have specific requirements, don’t hesitate to contact us and see how we can help. Dogs are welcome here at the barn, we love meeting your four-legged friends, but please be considerate of other guests who may not be such big fans, and keep your dog on a lead whilst on the grounds. Other pets may be welcome at staff discretion, just contact us to confirm this. Check in is from 3pm and checkout is 10am. We operate on a self check in basis, details on this are provided via email prior to arrival.
