We were met on arrival by Mrs Lawrence who was very helpful and made us feel welcome. It was a pleasant restful stay and lovely to walk out the door and have a choice of country walks. The dog was very happy there and slept in the kitchen each night. The pub in Whichford was very welcoming and friendly. Sunday dinner was very good at the Norman Knight. The pottery was very interesting with an excellent cafe. All only about 20 minutes walk from Little Barn. Many thanks. Would love to go again

Everything is of a high quality and very comfortable. The hosts are so welcoming, and happy to advise on local places to visit. Very peaceful location, with geese, sheep, ducks and chickens to keep you company.
