Red Barn Holidays

The Red Barn is one of a number of historic farm buildings, some of which date back to the 1500s.

It is situated in an idyllic setting on the outskirts of Rookley village, in a valley amid farmland and woodland, only reached down a farm track, half a mile from the road. It is however within ten minutes drive of the County town of Newport, with large, modern shops, cinema, pubs, restaurants, etc., together with more traditional farmers' markets and old style stores.

The town is largely level, with good wheelchair access to most premises. Several local pubs and restaurants have excellent facilities for disabled customers.

Views from all directions are beautiful, and the other than the occasional donkey braying or cockerel crowing, offers peace and calm.

The accommodation comprises large living area with high, vaulted beamed ceiling . French windows lead onto decked terrace and lawn, overlooking field with donkeys and sheep, backed by woodland. Living accommodation is all on the ground floor, with an extra room if required on galleried mezzanine floor (stairs leading from living area), as either a playroom for children, extra seating, or even an additional bedroom. The living area leads to a dining space, through to a modern, well-equipped kitchen, including hobs, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. WiFi internet access is available in the living area.

The master bedroom has two fully adjustable, electric "Volker" profiling hospital beds with optional side rails and an ensuite bathroom, which has been built in the style of a "wet room" with shower, washbasin and toilet, designed with wheelchair users in mind. Rails have been fitted and a good quality shower chair is available, adjustable to be used in conjunction with the lavatory or as a commode.


French windows lead from this bedroom onto the terrace and garden.

The second bedroom can be arranged with either one double or two single beds. These are also fully adjustable electric, profiling beds. Full-length French windows lead onto the terrace and garden. The third bedroom contains one single bed with views onto gardens (optional "grab handles" may be used in conjunction with this bed, if required).

The second shared bathroom is also in the style of a "wet room", with shower, bath, washbasin and toilet. The bath may be used in conjunction with most hoists.

The building is centrally heated and fully insulated throughout. A decked area with garden seating runs for the entire length of the property and gives access to the garden which incorporates a gas barbecue. There is parking for 2-3 cars.

The building has been converted with disabled people in mind - with many facilities included to ensure comfort and safety, including ramps, handrails, a portable induction loop and carefully chosen colour schemes to assist those with impaired sight or hearing.

A wide range of equipment for our disabled visitors is readily available for hire.

The garden area is securely fenced, with immediate access to footpaths through the countryside, and delightful walks.
