Had to come back; they are amazing. The Barn is palatial! So much space, fabulous bedrooms and a real luxurious (yet homely) feel to the whole place. Equipped with everything you need, and Super Jerry is attentive and knowledgeable. Both me and the dogs LOVE it here. The walk around the reservoir is stunning, and safe to have the dogs off lead. Will be back as soon as I can.

So isolated and in amongst nature it is the best place we have stayed. We had 6 day's over Christmas and it was magical. I can not wait until we come again. Beautiful place and scenery is unreal.

Jerry was as informative as always letting us know where the Owl has nested this year. Looking forward to returning next year.
