A super week away at High House Barns with the family. The accommodation is really spacious and comfortable. The garden with the climbing frame was great for the kids. Donna and Ian were really friendly, welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend 👌

We booked High House Barn for a friends get together and we weren't disappointed. The accomodation itself is beautiful and spacious, finished to a very high standard and equipped with everything we could have asked for, and more! The hot tub is a lovely addition and great for a chilled evening enjoying the bottle of wine included in the welcome pack.The hosts, Ian and Donna are super friendly, on hand in case of any issues and should be incredibly proud of what they have.I would definitely recommend and would absolutely return in the future.
