    We have just left Cave Farm Barns after a lovely week. We stayed in Swan after being offered the choice on arrival of a shower over bath (Heron) or a walk in shower (Swan) The cottage was cosy and very clean. We used the pool and had it to ourselves every time! Our original Monday-Monday holiday had to be delayed by a day due to a family bereavement. Mrs Kerridge was brilliant when I rang to warn her of our delay, she offered to let us stay another night so we didn’t loose a day of our holiday.

    A great peaceful getaway for a long weekend. We enjoyed the pool and exploring the local area. Hosts were available throughout and helpful.
