We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tawny-Barn. It is in a great location not too far from anything you may need while staying. The host is very friendly and close by if you were to need anything. Our children loved exploring outside and walking down to see the sheep and cows. We would definitely stay again. We had the best week.

Lovely barn conversion tucked away in a valley but with lots of access to walking paths. Very clean and comfortable - with en-suite facilities in all bedrooms. Beautiful views from the seat overlooking the house - we used it for star gazing too! Very friendly and welcoming host. A bit tricky to find initially - but once you're there it won't be a problem again. Nice walk to the local village with pub, coffee shops, general store, and fish & chips (we used all of them!). Some people may miss having access to a washing machine - but wasn't a problem for us.
