“Excellent accommodation in a beautiful setting.”

Emma, the owner, was very friendly & helpful. Plenty of room for us & our greyhound. We will certainly visit again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Mr Bauldry October 2019

“A beautiful little cottage and so quiet and welcoming too.”

Beautiful little area to sit outside in nice weather with views over well kept grounds and trees and occasionally horses, squirrels and birds too. We were left a few supplies to welcome us including a cake, which was a lovely surprise and delicious too! The owners were around if needed and both spoke to us and were very friendly and kind The village of Glinton is a delight - so pretty and well kept - and the pub only a minutes walk away is wonderful serving great food The village shop was also very well stocked and welcoming and only 5 minutes trot away if that Loads of lovely places to visit all around and good road links too All in all a lovely, if short stay, which we thoroughly enjoyed and felt very much at home - we were really sorry to have to leave!

Mr Trower July 2019

“The owner of the property is so kind and helpful.”

We had a lovely bottle of bubbly and packet of shortbread waiting. This was our second visit to the barn. Highly recommended by us and our two dogs.
Mr Phillips March 2019

“Very peaceful and relaxing place, would certainly visit again.”

Owners very friendly welcome. The Pub is dog friendly, with good food.
Mrs Thomas March 2019

“Lovely,peaceful cottage and our hosts were most helpful.”

It was lovely to see all the animals roaming free and we especially enjoyed the company of the black cat , Moby! There were plenty of places to visit although Spalding,which featured in a visitors ‘ guide, was rather disappointing. However, this was more than made up for by visits to places like Burghley . We would certainly recommend The Barn to any visitor thinking of exploring the area.

“Set in a quiet pictaresque village location.”

The Barn was very clean and comfortable and Emma the owner was welcoming. It was an ideal base for us to visit locations around Peterborough. Ideal for our dog with the wooden flooring and easy access to outside. The kitchen has everything you need. We hope to return later this year. Thanks ! Lyn & Ian

“The barn was nicely furnished but sofas were really low and uncomfortable, unfortunately you can hear the owners next door.”

Owner was friendly, nice pub for food in walking distance can take dogs in bar. Well stocked shop in walking distance. Lots of nice walks nearby.
Mr Hanson September 2018

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

We would return in a heartbeat.
Mrs Belt August 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

“Cosy and spacious house, friendly welcome, nice village.”
Mrs Godwin-keene May 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.”
Mrs Gregory March 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.

“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!

“A great holiday and we look forward to going back again”

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.
