What to know before you book

Ask exactly what is included: tables, chairs, lighting, power, toilets and heating vary a lot between barns.
Dry-hire barns usually mean bringing your own caterer, bar staff and furniture, which adds cost and planning.
Old sheds can be hot in summer and cold in winter. Ask about fans, heaters and insulation.
Check access over gravel and grass for guests with limited mobility.
Insects and dust come with farm settings. Ask about flooring and screens.

Best time of year

Spring and autumn are the most comfortable. In summer plan for heat, and in winter check the heating.
