In just a few days we will be cleaning, decorating and furnishing the interior ready for our first holiday makers. So how did this all come about? Well, as Julie Andrews once said, Let's start at the very beginning:-<br /><br />The Barn was converted into a 2 bed holiday let property just over 5 years ago. A few years on and work started on a new indoor pool to replace the outdoor pool that was part of Llangarthginning Farm (yes the name is a bit of a mouthful!). Work was delayed for a variety of reasons but 2020 saw the first fill of the pool, just in time for lockdown!<br /><br />Not just an <a href="https://www.meidrim.com/indoor-heated-pool-sauna-hot-tub.html" target="_blank">indoor heated pool</a> however, but also a hot tub, sauna, showers and changing rooms. Perfect when you have to work from home because of COVID. Oh and views to die for from that outdoor terrace!</div>  <div><div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div> 				<div id='271636521928690165-gallery' class='imageGallery' style='line-height: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0'><div id='271636521928690165-imageContainer0' style='float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;'><div id='271636521928690165-insideImageContainer0' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/main-pool-view_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery271636521928690165]'><img src='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/main-pool-view.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='800' _height='460' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:130.43%;top:0%;left:-15.22%' /></a></div></div></div></div><div id='271636521928690165-imageContainer1' style='float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;'><div id='271636521928690165-insideImageContainer1' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/now-thats-a-view_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery271636521928690165]'><img src='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/now-thats-a-view.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='800' _height='450' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:133.33%;top:0%;left:-16.67%' /></a></div></div></div></div><div id='271636521928690165-imageContainer2' style='float:left;width:33.28%;margin:0;'><div id='271636521928690165-insideImageContainer2' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/sauna-inside_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery271636521928690165]'><img src='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/sauna-inside.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='800' _height='450' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:133.33%;top:0%;left:-16.67%' /></a></div></div></div></div><span style='display: block; clear: both; height: 0px; overflow: hidden;'></span></div> 				<div style="height: 10px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph">With the pool up and running, it seemed to be the ideal time to give the barn a bit of a revamp and to start making use of the wonderful world of online social media and so here I am: amateur website designer, social marketing 'expert' and booking agent. I read somewhere that writing a blog was a good way to generate interest in your site so I'm putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard at least. I can then sit back, relax and wait for the bookings to come pouring in :-)</div>  <div class="paragraph">Unfortunately I can't show the inside of The Barn just yet, you'll just have to be patient for another week or so. But I can tell you that inside you will find a lovely, large, open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area with high ceilings up to the beams and large french doors that open up to an outside raised deck area and garden. Towards the rear is a large double bedroom with the main bathroom alongside. Upstairs is a large twin bedroom with a doorway through to a mezzanine that overlooks the lounge. The Mezzanine is ideal for up to two children to sleep on futon-style beds.&nbsp;</div>  <div><div style="height: 0px; overflow: hidden;"></div> 				<div id='924518121951854214-gallery' class='imageGallery' style='line-height: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0'><div id='924518121951854214-imageContainer0' style='float:left;width:49.95%;margin:0;'><div id='924518121951854214-insideImageContainer0' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder galleryCaptionHover' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/the-barn-decking_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery924518121951854214]' title='Raised deck leading to garden area'><img src='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/the-barn-decking.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='800' _height='566' alt='Outdoor decking' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:106.01%;top:0%;left:-3%' /></a></div></div></div></div><div id='924518121951854214-imageContainer1' style='float:left;width:49.95%;margin:0;'><div id='924518121951854214-insideImageContainer1' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder galleryCaptionHover' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75%;overflow:hidden;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/the-barn-front_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery924518121951854214]' title='Main entrance'><img src='https://www.meidrim.com/uploads/1/2/6/4/126490191/the-barn-front.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='800' _height='451' alt='Barn conversion' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:133.04%;top:0%;left:-16.52%' /></a></div></div></div></div><span style='display: block; clear: both; height: 0px; overflow: hidden;'></span></div> 				<div style="height: 0px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph">&#8203;So there you have it, our first official blog on the adventures of The Barn.&nbsp;<span style="color:rgb(63, 63, 63)">We live in a lovely part of the world and we look forward to welcoming you as our guests at The Barn soon.
