A beautiful barn with lots of space. Great for a multi generational family holiday. A car for days out is essential.

7 of us stayed for 3 nights in June. It was such a lovely place to stay, we had everything you could want, plenty of space, everyone had their own bathroom and games/hot tub to entertain both adults and my 7 year old nephew. Hannah and Andrew really looked after us. (Tiny downside was all the flies, which I’m not sure could be prevented and was possibly worse due to the heat wave. I wouldn’t let that put you off, just be prepared). We’d definitely go back again.

Beautiful barn conversion with loads of space inside and out. Perfect for dogs and children as well as adults. Canal towpath and Middlewood way nearby great for family friendly walks. Heather is a very friendly and helpful owner just across the road in case of need.
