Joanne
He made it clear that if there was anything we needed or wanted to ask we were to simply knock on his door. The barn is very spacious and has a fabulous enclosed garden, great for our dog. Ian had left milk, tea, various different coffees & biscuits. There was also plenty of cleaning products to use throughout the stay. The wi-fi was very good. Ian had also provided a large basket of towels that he had marked out for dog use, a brilliant touch. Although the local pub is within easy walking distance itâs across a very busy main road with no footpath, not difficult but takes some care. The barn is well equipped but there was a few tiny things that could be changed/upgraded and this is just probably from a womanâs point of view. The bath mat, shower mat, sink drainer & washing up bowl are a bit tired and perhaps could be replaced. Although in no way dirty, the lounge carpet & sofas could do with a deep clean. The beds were very comfortable but Iâd suggest investing in some good quality pillows/pillow protector covers. These would absolutely not stop us from staying at Jackos Barn again but the smallest of things can make a difference. Ian was a fantastic host, so jolly, helpful and super chatty and friendly. Great bloke.

The owners have thought of everything, and the extras such as the welcome pack of milk tea coffee and biscuits and even a dog basket with towels, how very thoughtful. The location is great and peaceful. There are some Lovely walks in the village, through the church woods is just one, but short drives to nearby villages you will find many splendid scenic walks. There are also some Lovely pubs should you fancy a drink or a meal. Thoroughly enjoyed our days there and will definitely return.

Itâs spotlessly clean on arrival, very well equipped, warm and comfortable. Excellent for dogs with enclosed area and even towels provided for them. The owners are kind and helpful. This was our second visit and hopefully not our last.
