A former Stables when horses were used on the farm, the upper floor was a hayloft. Then converted to a milking shed and calf shed. The conversion to a holiday cottage was made in 2006/7. We kept original features and used oak from our wood for door lintels. Downstairs floors are tiled or wooden with all wooden floors upstairs.
Pattard has been a barn owl nesting site for many years (dad erected first owl box 30 years ago) and a visit in early summer should enable you to see parent owls flying at dusk to hunt for small mammals. We try to keep areas of tussocks grass in fields and field margins to give the owls some hunting ground.
