13 female friends stated here for a girly/witchy retreat and it was PERFECT! The rooms and beds were incredibly comfortable, the space was just right and the garden was perfect and tranquil. Hosts were responsive and helpful and the property was kept beautifully. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

A lovely barn with lots of character. Perfect for a family gathering to celebrate an anniversary. Excellent walks straight from the front door.
