The area is so calm and peaceful, and there are so many things to do when youâre there. We both absolutely loved the accommodation and felt right at home from the second we arrived. We will definitely be back, for much longer than a weekend.

Easy to get to with helpful directions by email, easy to park and unload, great welcome from Howard, welcome pack was superb including fizz, homemade bread and mince pies (which lasted about 10minutes) and decorated for Christmas was a really nice touch too. Cottage had lots of space, comfy beds, all the facilities you could ever need, well equipped kitchen, fantastic hot tub and lovely and warn throughout. Loved the attention to detail with torches, fridge up and running on arrival, hot tub ready to use, all kitchen utensils laid out and easy to find. Loved it. Only downside was we stayed for 4 days.......would have loved to stay longer!

Howard and Suzie are perfect hosts, gave us space to relax but also happy to help with any queries. All the little things that are usually missing in a holiday let have been thought of and made it feel like a home from home. The house is so cosy, well equipped, comfortable beds, space to relax, plenty of bathrooms and a fabulous hot tub. The welcome gifts were incredible, really made us feel welcome and were super helpful for our stay. We would 100% recommend Foxglove Barn and look forward to booking again in the future. Thank you!
