Black Lion Folly is a lovely barn conversion on a farm. It’s very spacious with on-suite in all four bedrooms. The hot-tub is lovely, and so are the owners Paul and Adele. They were very generous in sharing the history of the barn and their family, which goes back an enormous time. We will definitely be back to tackle Snowden in the summer, hopefully.
