We have just stayed at Beech Barns for a week and had a wonderful time. The location was absolutely beautiful, very peaceful and relaxing. The barn itself was spotless, spacious, and had plenty of room to unwind and feel comfortable throughout our stay.During our visit, we also went on a boat trip from Wayford Marine, which was not far from the barn. It was lovely and quiet, with some great stop-offs along the way. I would highly recommend both Beech Barns and Wayford Marine, and we will definitely be returning in the future.L Poole
