The cottage is very clean, comfortable and spacious, and set in a quiet and peaceful location. The garden is dog safe as well as being enclosed. The owners are friendly and helpful. There are plenty of places to visit in the local area, and the there is a good local farm shop/ cafe nearby, and large supermarkets in the local town. We very much enjoyed our time at Barn View and would definitely recommend.
