“This is a lovely cottage in a lovely setting.”

The furniture and soft furnishings are of good quality and we werewelcomed by some lovely the rock cakes baked by Jean. Although not disastrous, it would have been helpful to have had a dishwasher as we found ourselves washing up quite a bit which we would rather not have done on holiday. All in all a relaxing break in a lovely cottage.

“Fabulous place to stay.”

I can't recommend it enough. Beautiful barn, quiet and peaceful location with wonderful views. Just a shame we didn't have longer here but would definitely stay here again. The barn more than comfortably housed us 4 adults. The owner is so friendly and welcoming with awesome home made biscuits for us on arrival. I would buy a box of them to take home. Wonderful!

“Idyllic location on a working farm.”

Beautiful countryside views from the barn and you can watch the cows feeding in the sheds from the kitchen. Couldn't be better!
