Loved the Barbon with plenty of space for the whole family, so warm and cosy.Ian was so helpful and responded immediately to a flooded bathroom at 6.30 am on a bank holiday, which was all sorted very quickly.We had a great week and made use of the hot tub, veranda and playground.Only niggles the oven needed a clean and not enough storage in the bedrooms.

Absolutely lovely place went with family for my daughters 16th. Way bigger than we expected and very spacious, we went when it was very cold but inside you could not tell as it was nice and cosy all the time. Veiws around and in the morning are pure bliss. The whole family loved it. The pictures online dont do it justice. Great walks close by would recommend the quarry. Ian is also great anything you need drop him a message almost instant reply can not complain at anything this trip. Great stay all round.
