Cliff Barns

This cowboy-come-Dallas themed boutique retreat is perfect for a party of individuals, anniversaries gatherings or just big family get-togethers. But we are not talking beans and chuck wagons here – this is highly original hacienda-styled accommodation with vast flagstone floors, chunky, comfy furniture and high barn-like ceilings that give the whole place a bright , er, High Noon-ish feeling. For those who don't know, Cliff Barnes was a character in the popular 1980s series Dallas, and this place is named after him; it's focused on a central courtyard, naturally set up with barbecue facilities, hot tubs and as much outside seating as you need, around which there are living areas and eight bedrooms. Some of the bedrooms are en-suite, and themed along Texas Oil owner lines – but classily so, not overdoing the Stetson hats and the Moose heads, and each with neat individual touches. They have bunk beds for little ones, and you  can even hire in chefs and other staff to sort out the special dinners and party arrangements. You'll love it whether you remember Dallas or not – indeed in a world of corporate branding, Cliff Barns is a refreshing boutique alternative.
