My wife and I booked Pickle Barn for 3 nights and, having travelled from Northern Ireland, we couldn't have asked for more! Hosts, Steve and Mike were very welcoming, are two warm and kind people and it was an absolute pleasure to meet them both. Pickle Barn? Fabulous! The location was perfect (Excellent views from the accommodation), the accommodation itself was perfect, clean, cosy and all of the amenities you need for a stay. Recommend Pickle Barn to anyone and we wouldn't change a thing. We WILL be back! Thank you Mike and Steve for making our stay such a joy

It was prepared to a high standard, very clean and cosy. It was obvious the amount of care and preparation that had gone on prior to our visit. The kitchen had every item available for preparing meals. Our hosts made us most welcome to ensure that we had everything we needed. Although it was the winter season the property was very warm with loads of hot water for showering. An excellent dishwasher was available and WiFi was good. Underfloor heating on the ground floor was much appreciated. Overall an excellent stay and I would thoroughly recommend this property. Thank you to our hosts for a comfortable stay.
