Finkle Barn is a very comfortable and well equipped home, we all enjoyed our stay and the location is serene. Its on a working farm but you wouldn’t know it and the host is most welcoming. Highly recommend 😊

We had a lovely relaxing time away at Finkle Barn, we didn’t visit much of the area apart from driving through (the scenery on the way is breathtaking) but instead stayed in the cottage and spent time together as a family.Finkle barn was so cozy and warm, the decoration is so homely and beautiful. It’s the most well equipped place we have ever stayed in, it literally felt like a second home for the weekend. Everything has been thought of from extra towels, blankets to books, games and dvds. The hosts were brilliant, friendly and polite and even brought us some freshly baked brownies.
