We had a wonderful weeks stay at Skimblescott Barn. The views are beautiful and we loved seeing the activity of the farm, as did our toddler! The barn itself was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, even including toys and games for the children. We were within easy reach of days out and local towns, but the rural setting was completely peaceful. Having our breakfast and dinners in the garden listening to the sounds of the chickens and sheep was glorious. I would recommend to anyone, I only wish we could have stayed longer!

A stunning conversion in an equally stunning location. Home from home but with quiet and tranquility. Beautiful evenings outside, listening to the birds, watching the wildlife.
