Dodds Barn is a fabulous place to stay. We spent the weekend as a family of 3 generations which included 4 children and 1 in a wheelchair. . Soo spacious and couches to die for. Jo the owner was lovely and greeted us on arrival and again as we left. We celebrated my son’s 40th birthday and the lovely Avril from Chef2dine4 cooked for us another amazing meal on his birthday. Avril is the best for the final touches to your family celebrations. Thankyou Jo for your lovely property and all the little extra touches that make it soo special

Amazing barn with all eventualities catered for. An amazing host who was very attentive and easily reachable. The barn itself was spacious, spotless and decor was phenomenal we had 10 adults quite comfortably housed and a rare find to have en-suite in every room.The location is very remote and tranquil
