About
Cooling Castle Barn is a family-owned and family-run establishment. However, they don't do it all alone. They have a dedicated team of wonderful individuals who work alongside them to ensure that they are the best that they can be.
They have their own kitchens where everything is prepared from scratch. The in-house laundry ensures that the bed and table linen meet the high-quality standards. They even handle their own waste water, as they prioritise environmental responsibility and strive to recycle as much as possible.
Lastly, fairness and value for money are core principles. They only provide guests with items and services that they would use themselves, and aim to deliver excellent service at a reasonable price.
