Absolutely beautiful house for a family celebration. Lots of space and the lay out is excellent. The kitchen facilities were amazing, they have thought of everything and the house is very well located to local walks, plenty of nearby villages & lots of wonderful food options.It was a great weekend and we were sad to leave.

Church Barn is a lovely home with plenty of space to spread out or be together if you prefer. The garden is well cared for and well equipped for sunny days which were lucky to enjoy during our stay. Ideal for exploring the local area with plenty of attractions nearby and within walking distance of the Three Fyshes pub where we had a lovely meal. A most enjoyable stay.
