Freshly picked blackberries from our fields. I’m sure I picked more than what actually came home 🤭😂.
Whilst we can’t guarantee any blackberries, a warm welcome to Lower Hookner Barn is a definite.

Meet some more residents of Lower Hookner Barn!

These little bundles of loveliness are TJ (the cockerel), Polly, Audrey, Pamela and Florence. They are Barbu d’Uccles, which are a fairly rare breed of bantam. They free range in our garden, and will happily join guests for afternoon tea.
Audrey, Pamela and Florence are new members of the family having arrived around five weeks ago. TJ has done a Stirling job showing them round and getting them settled. There have definitely been moments though as he tries to rally the troops and get them into the house at night when he looks at me and seems to be saying ... I think I’m getting a little too old to be responsible for four young ladies’. But, then his chivalrous gene kicks back in and he trots off to retrieve Audrey who is busy rustling leaves, and doing a bit of garden maintenance.

Some of you may remember Midnight, Magnificent Midnight as he is now known. His only role in life is to be ... well, magnificent. He does this extremely well. Despite being small enough to stand underneath his field mate, Sam, he quietly runs Lower Hookner Barn. He is a dab hand at electrics which in his world means working out whether the electric fence is on or off which in turn helps him decided whether the grass is indeed greener on the other side. He is excellent at gardening (eating the grass, thistles) and landscaping which generally means having a roll in the muddy bits, ideally just after he’s had a bath.
His likes include being groomed, having his scratchy bits itched, covering his head in his hay, snoozing, meeting people and being with his friend Sam. He is not so keen on mosquitoes and coming in when you really need him to.
Midnight has totally embraced the quiet, peaceful and relaxing environment here at Lower Hookner Barn and is very much looking forward to welcoming guests to our bed and breakfast so that they too can enjoy this wonderful piece of Dartmoor.
