About this house rental

Peter & Toby, who manage The Appleton Retreat, have over 2,600 five-star reviews on another travel platform,,,,,
The Red Barn may appear to be a renovated barn but it is actually a totally new contemporary structure that is based on the design style of a monitor barn - which aimed to maximize space and improve the living conditions for animals housed inside the barn, or in this case people. The architecture incorporates a raised center aisle with clerestory windows, allowing for excellent air circulation and natural light. Located at The Appleton Retreat the Red Barn has a spectacular view of Appleton Ridge.
