We had a wonderful stay at Dodds Barn. The property was immaculately clean, spacious, and beautifully warm, making it feel welcoming from the moment we arrived. The Sky TV was an excellent addition and much appreciated, especially in the evenings, and the welcome pack was a lovely, thoughtful touch. Everything was finished to a very high standard and made for a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dodds Barn and would happily return.

This barn was stunning, very large, clean and very well equipped. The bedding was such good quality and beds were so comfortable. The decor was so beautiful.We had a mock family Christmas and the Christmas tree and room was decorated so beautifully. The welcome pack was amazing with good quality items. Hot tub was great and again everything was provided. The owner Jo was lovely and was on hand to help with anything we needed. We loved it so much we will be booking again for next year.
