Our quiet village is being RUINED by celebrity hotspot loved by A-list stars – they’re making our lives chaos

RESIDENTS of a quiet village say their lives will be ruined by new plans at a retreat loved by celebrities. Blyth Barn, a high-end hotspot loved by Jack Whitehall and Sandi Toksvig, has applied for a 24-hour licence. However, residents of Huntingfield, where the barn is located, are furious and have lodged complaints with the local council.

They fear disruption from noise, traffic and rowdy celebrations if the licence is granted, allowing Blyth Barn to serve alcohol until 5am. Blyth Barn offers guests a luxury experience with a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, gym and party room-for an eye-watering £30,000 a night.

It accommodates up to 288 guests, nearly double the local village's population of 150. Locals said the barn will be turned into an "all-singing, all-dancing entertainment centre.". Lori Kingsley-Adams, who lives in the area, said: "To turn a rural retreat into an entertainment centre is beyond the pale.".

Meanwhile Huntingfield Parish Council has also objected to the plans, warning: "It will be chaotic in the village centre.". Blyth Barn is part of the "Wilderness Reserve", a collection of exclusive holiday properties in the Yox Valley developed by billionaire Jon Hunt.

Hunt is best known for being the founder of Foxtons estate agency. The Sun has contacted Wilderness Reserve and Huntingfield Parish Council for comment. How to object a licence:.
