Absolutely beautiful little village, The Barn was excellent - well equipped, homely, cosy and a great location. Wendy the owner couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming, a lovely welcome pack on arrival for us and our 2 dogs. Pub with good beer garden and take-out food was only 5 minutes walk away - great beer and food! Will definitely be returning here. If you like star gazing the sky at night has very little light pollution and the view of the stars was amazing from the back garden. Sat in the conservatory soaking up the sun during the day whilst the dogs played in the garden overlooking the ponies in the paddock. A great find!
