The barn was beautiful and was very welcoming. We just struggled finding it initially as the post code took us the opposite side of the lane. It was ideal for days out and the little local shop was handy. Local pub was only a small stroll away but just be mindful of days and times it opens. The facilities were excellent and our fur babies were wellRead more catered for. The mesne kitchen was lovely and spacious. We loved the hot tub, although would have liked to stay in longer than 15 mins. Hide

The cottage had not been cleaned to an acceptable standard, lots of dog hair and doggy smell. Although we complained and a cleaner was sent, it still wasnt really done well enough. Uncomfortable bed. Hot tub good, but all outdoor cushions mouldy. Enjoyed the location, quiet ,and easy walk to nearest pub.
