We had a lovely holiday at Riston Barn which was warm, cozy, well equipped and a great base for exploring this beautiful area. We received a very warm and generous welcome from Carol, the very friendly and helpful owner. Lots of thoughtful touches in the cottage to ensure there was plenty to do in wet weather and great ideas for exploring the locale on foot straight from the doorstep. A really peaceful place to stay too. We loved it.
