The welcome package was very appreciated - a lovely touch. We have a medium sized car which we were able to turn in the driveway fine, however an estate car might need to reverse in/out, but it's not far !

The scones, cream & jam as well as treats for the dogs was a lovely touch. The barn is very comfortable making it home from home. Everything has been thought about. Lovely little lawn area for sitting outside and for the dogs to relax. Please don't be put off by the previous reviews of the narrow lane, this was not a problem at all and we have a big car. We would definitely book Little Orchard barn again. We had a lovely stay. Ali & Nick
