Cliff
We spent a great week at Deerson Barn. The setting is lovely, very peaceful with lots of local wildlife around. The accommodation is really comfortable, plenty of space inside and out. Comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. Karen, the owner, was very quick to respond to questions and made lots of helpful suggestions for the local area. We would highly recommend this place to stay

Fabulous property and incredibly kind and attentive host who went out of her way to make us feel welcome and ensure our stay was perfect. The countryside setting is gorgeous and the swim spa is simply amazing. We enjoyed the plentiful comfy seating in the living room - it was all ideal for a relaxing girls' weekend, which is what we wanted!
