Barn Facilities are generally basic, but they do vary between barns. As a general rule imagine you are camping but you don't need a tent. As a minimum they comprise a sleeping area shared by all visitors, tables and benches for eating and preparing food, a supply of cold running water and a flush toilet. Many have basic heating such as a log fire, although heating is not always provided. Some barns have hot water, showers and cooking facilities - see the individual barn entries for details. All barns have car parking and some have facilities for tent camping if you've a really big group!
Warming by the StoveTo help keep the prices low, visitors are asked leave the barn clean and tidy. Barns can normally be occupied after 4.00pm and need to be vacated at 10.00am on departure day. (Variations can often be arranged with the barn operators).

Farm produce may be on sale at some barns, just ask when you arrive.
一个谷仓通常可容纳8-16 人。我们有可能住在一个working farm上(可以看到‘公奶牛’噢 )

Selling point
1. Sleep rough
2. all night lectures and snoring
3. Cheap, will costs around 6-8 pounds per person per night
4. great fun in a wood fired farm house. all people cooking, playing cards,
singing songs...

The problem
1.May require you to take Friday off work - Barns like B&B they like you to book two nights for weekend.
2. Maybe cold in the night
3. Sleep rough
4. All night lectures and snoring
5. Hot water shower is not convenient, many require coins
6. requires each walker has additional gear: 3-season sleeping bag, Matress(some barns
provide that, but not all)
7. Transportation to remote area in winter
8. You need PROPER walking boots and water proof jacket for winter hiking
