Dacres Farm Camping Barn

As promised, we’re back at Hilary’s bunk barn near Kendal for a weekend away with the kids. It’s moved on a little bit and the stables which were due to go up have been finished and we help bring the big balls of hay over to be hung up for the horses. The play-barn (that’s not its official title, more one the kids have given it) is as much of a draw for the kids as ever and they’re straight in there to have a rummage through the curiosities and games.

We’ve pretty much nailed the concept of keeping a log burner going now so this trip isn’t quite as much of a learning curve but I’m still finding myself scanning the building for ideas we could bring into the hall. The storage and sleeping arrangements are all relatively easy to maintain which is what we’re looking for and the upstairs log burner and back boiler give me a rough idea of how ours could work too.

At some point, I’m going to switch off when we go away but clearly not yet!
