Saltmere Barn

Light, bright and contemporary, this converted barn has plenty of space for active families. Make it your berth for a stay that features outdoor suppers, swimming and tennis, or book as a bolt-on to The Manor House for larger group getaways.

Set near Newtown, within the same estate as The Manor House, Saltmere Barn is a welcoming and dog-friendly family base. Reimagined as a spacious, free-flowing home, it strikes a modern note within this centuries-old landscape.

Here, you can revel in the comforts of a barn conversion, with the benefits of shared estate facilities. An all-weather tennis court, vast landscaped gardens and an outdoor swimming pool (from June to September) are all part of the wider experience.

Saltmere Barn sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms, including an en-suite king-sized master, and two twin rooms with a family bathroom. The living area is bright and airy, with a generous L-shaped sofa that’s perfect for feet-up film nights. This sense of sociability extends into the open-plan kitchen and dining areas, meaning adults and children can cook, relax, and still share stories about their day.

Subtle coastal styling runs throughout Saltmere Barn, as a nod to its island roots. But, as you step outside, this location is easy to appreciate. Doors lead out to a private garden and patio, where summer suppers and drinks can be taken al fresco. Beyond this, you’ll find the estate’s gardens and shared leisure facilities, including optional boat mooring.

And, when you’re ready to explore, it’s just a short walk to Newtown Quay, where you can canoe, paddleboard, or simply enjoy being by the water. Saltmere Barn welcomes one dog, and with so much on your doorstep (including the 55-acre estate itself), it’s a destination that’s likely to please everyone; your canine included.

As a standalone choice, Saltmere Barn is a peaceful retreat for families or groups of couples. However, it can also become another base for those booking The Manor House; either as extended accommodation or a self-contained space with extra privacy.
