“The home was beautiful, and the owner was absolutely a pleasure.”

We would return in a heartbeat.

- Mr Hanson, September 2018

“The barn was very comfortable, and it was really nice to have milk, wine and biscuits waiting for our arrival.”

Emma was very friendly and helpful. Having the Blue Bell pub so close was a real bonus - the food is excellent

- Mrs Belt, August 2018
“Cosy and spacious house, friendly welcome, nice village.”

- Mrs De Bruyne, July 2018
“Although we were generally very impressed with this property and had a lovely holiday, a few tweaks would have made it perfect:- 1.”

The sofas were past their best and were pretty uncomfortable 2. An iron was provided, but no ironing board (the property notes said one could be borrowed, but why not provide one in the first place?) 3. Only 3 cutlery knives were provided, which was mean. The lovely big dishwasher meant we only had to use it for crockery etc. every couple of days, but we had to handwash the knives after every meal. 4. The bedside lights had beautiful, but very impractical beaded shades on them, that let through virtually no light at all. The first night we left the main light on to read in bed, but the next night we had to remove the shades

“Very good cottage for 2, close to Peterborough and to Rutland, enclosed small orchard area good for dog freedom.”

- Rev Dengate, April 2018
“A wonderful stay.”

I arrived to a warm welcome, and instantly felt at home. The cottage is furbished to a very high level, is comfortable, and has all the facilities needed, I could happily be there for an extended stay. I stayed as I was on a weeks course with my dog, he also settled into The Barn very easily. Set in a lovely village, it was also ideal for walking with my dog. The owner and her family were lovely, and it really was a home from home.

“Welcome gifts of scones,cream and strawberries plus tea,coffee and milk.”

Owner very helpful with advice on site seeing. Excellent dog walks from the door.

- Mr Walker, June 2017
“A beautiful property, tastefully restored.”

This property was presented to a high standard, it was beautifully furnished and the layout was ideal for us. Despite the inclement weather there was plenty to do in the locality and the friendly owners were on hand if required and supplied some useful ideas for day trips. A pet friendly property with walks from the door and room for the dog to run in the adjacent paddock. We wouldn't hesitate to book again or recommend this property, it was great!

The Barn is in a lovely village with all the amenities in walking distance. Inside the Barn is beautiful and comfortable. The lounge and kitchen downstairs is great and the bedroom upstairs is really comfortable.

“A great Barn!”

It was a great place to stay. The weather was not the best but because of the barn it was still a very plesant stay. The owners were very friendly.
