This is a brand new converted Barn and can cater for any number of people from singles to 8 in a group. Dates are totally flexible from any arrival day and leaving day. ie 7, 8, 9 etc day trips to suit the guests. Perfect for non detecting partners that want their own privacy while you are out detecting. If you would prefer there is also B&B accommodation available in the owners main house You will have you own car or mini bus and can come and go as you please to all our 300 fields/sites and detect for as many or few hours as you like. There is a Barn next to the accommodation for storing detecting gear and a warm boiler room, perfect for drying wet gear. This trip includes all the usual support of photographing, recording all your finds and export licenses. First groups comments on the new barn: Great location, beautiful facility. The landlords are very nice, but they're also extremely particular about any dirt being brought in, so you MUST leave your boots in the finds-washing shed, wear clean shoes to the lodging, then leave those shoes just inside the door. No finds washing inside the lodging, just in the shed, it's a bit cold, and it's very dark. We're hoping he'll install a brighter light over the sink; if not, I plan to bring some kind of portable LED light with me next year. There are a couple pubs that serve food in town, we ate at "Donkey and Buskins" and it was delicious. Also are a couple places that deliver supper, including Chinese. Internet access is inside the MAIN house, I believe the landlord said he's working at getting it into the self catered lodging too, but don't quote me on that one. Min Mindy
