Absolutely superb property, finished to the highest standards and containing everything you could want for a holiday with a large group. Lovely large inside and outside entertaining spaces. Beds very comfortable and excellent quality bed linen. Only slight niggle with lack of storage space with two of the bedrooms who had to share a wardrobe in the corridor which definitely wasn’t large enough for 4 people. Also nowhere to hang towels in those two bathrooms. Amazing welcome basket left for us and a lovely touch with the large vase of flowers which were really appreciated. Jo the host was very helpful and on hand with any queries. Wonderful property and we had a great week there.

We had an amazing time at Dodds barn. The pictures don’t do it justice. Plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely stay there again.
