We had a really wonderful weekend at Barn view. We had with us our dog who loved the park that’s a very short walk along the lane. In the other direction along the lane was a beautiful little farm shop / cafe. We bought lunch and a couple of ciders which were lovely. The cottage we found to be so cosy and it really did have everything you could need. The bed was comfortable and the bedrooms warm. The living room / dining room was very light and felt open but cosy at the same time ( you may to trust me on that one).The garden space was perfect for our dog, we didn’t get to use it as it was February and it snowed ( but max our dog liked it). We would love to return and will definitely book again.There are plenty on places to visit nearby too!
