It was even better than the photos, you can tell a lot of love has gone into this property, the communication was excellent, the location is stunning, there is a pub with great food within a walkable distance, perfect space for a family gathering as we had. Comfortably fit 7 adults plus baby. Could not fault our trip, it was perfect.

Such a lovely barn conversion with everything we needed. The kitchen in particular had lots of little extras you don’t normally get. I often find that kettles have not been descaled (my pet hate) but the one at Hatchers was pristine. We didn’t see the owners but were in touch by email and Clare always responded quickly and positively. The barn was warm and cosy but there were lots of throws should anyone need extra warmth. My grandson loved seeing the tractor out rolling the nearby field especially when the driver waved. There were lots of places to visit within a short drive. All in all we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again.
