The Barn is constructed of granite and was converted to a threshing house when the round house was added. This provided a circular walk for a horse or donkey, harnessed to a gin to provide power for the machinery in the adjacent threshing room. It is now a most original hostel for 14 people, lined throughout with varnished wood, with six sleeping in the round house, and eight in the gallery, divided into elementary cubicles and possessing one of the best views on the island. It has a large tall living room with a big open fire, and is at the centre of island life.
