A really gorgeous and beautifully converted barn in picturesque village. Very comfortable, lovely architecture, cosy and extremely well equipped. My sisters and I met up and had the most brilliant few days here and we loved everything about Folleys Barn, particularly the extremely efficient gas stove (disguised as a woodburning stove).

A very clean and comfortable cottage with lots of thoughtful extras and generous welcome hamper. All the staff on the Carrington Estate were extremely helpful and polite.
