Summer thankfully still shines through during the day here at Pitlands Barns. The nights are cooling down and those fresh autumn mornings are starting to come through. 

It’s been a busy and exciting summer welcoming some lovely familiar faces back to Pitlands farm as well as lovely new guests. We were delighted to welcome back for the tenth year running our wonderful August Granary guests. In fact it has been our busiest summer to-date. 

As the surrounding views turn from summer greens and yellows to the seasonal spectacle of oranges, reds and gold’s we swap the BBQs for wood baskets and look forward to our guests enjoying long autumnal walks in the invigorating fresh air or simply snuggling down in-front of the wood burning stoves with a glass of wine or hot chocolate or two. 

We welcome our lovely winners of our Valentines Competition in November. You may remember we gave away the date of November back in February to be as certain as possible to our wonderful guests and to give them something to look forward to. 

Look out for our new air guide link when you book. It give you all the information from the welcome folder and more straight onto your device enabling you to search, book, plan you activities, lunches walks etc. from home before arriving. We have also introduced our 360tour – find this on our website to view in detail inside the barns. 

Winter bookings are once again strong with many of you wonderful friends returning to the tranquillity of Pitlands Barns. For large groups of 14 wanting to take over as a whole we are looking towards March for weekend availability. 

We look forward to welcoming you over the autumn months. 

Kelly, Tim & Family.

Dear friends of Pitlands Barns,

The past few months have been challenging for many industries especially for travel and tourism. We have found ourselves having to close down twice now, but have been overwhelmed by the support shown by you our guests.

We realise that it is an uncertain time and that we all need that break to re-charge our batteries and get some well deserved R&R. That is why we have put in place our COVID Guarantee to give you confidence and peace of mind in booking your break direct with us.

If you are forced to cancel your booking due to reasons involving COVID then we will either:-

 A)  Transfer your deposit or balance over to another date agreed by you.

 B)   Provide you with a full refund.

Its that simple and that flexible !

Thank you for your continued support.

Kelly

Doesn’t time fly! We have been taking guests for nearly 11 months in the Stables and 9 months in the Granary and The Cart Shed and what a busy time we have had! Weddings, birthday celebrations, anniversary celebrations, family gatherings and hen parties, the barns have been full most weekends. Highlights for the children have been feeding and collecting the eggs in the morning, and enjoying them for breakfast. Now we are busy harvesting so we need the sun to shine for the next month both for our guests and the farming. Please visit us on Facebook – Pitlands Barns Up Marden and find out our latest news.
