A Beautiful Barn which was extremely clean and comfortable. It has a fabulous kitchen, 4 en-suite bedrooms, a games room and a hot tub. Great for young families and adults. It also has an EV Charger which was easy to set up and use. The Hosts were lovely and very helpful. We will definitely visit again soon.

Absolutely fabulous cottage. Brilliant customer care from Hannah before during and after. The barn is beautiful. Quality materials throughout and massive attention to detail, e.g. hot and cold toutside taps for the dog wash! Kitchen was well equipped with a great Rangemaster. Bedrooms large and comfortable. Beds really comfy. Showers and baths etc all really lovely. Wood fired hot tub a lovely addition. Log Burner in lounge was great.Great pub 6 minutes walk away with superb food and a singer on Sunday Lunchtime. Plenty of parking and loads of secure outside space, bbq, picnic bench etc. Brilliant value for money.Was so good we booked next year before leaving!
