Brens barn was everything we hoped for and more. Luxurious accommodation clean and tidy comfortable and warm, individual thermostats helped to heat individual zones. Hosts very welcoming, the barn had everything needed for our stay including kitchen roll, tinfoil, games and books. Even a first aid kit should it be needed. Came home thoroughly refreshed and will be going back.

We had a wonderful stay at Bren Barn. Our hosts, Denise and Nick, were incredibly friendly and amenable, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The furnishing, bedding, and towels were all of a very high standard, and the cleanlines throughout the accommodation was impeccable. The barn is set in lovely, peaceful surrounds, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Really appreciated the fresh eggs from the hens who were pottering around and the other gifts! Highly recommend!
