    We had a lovely stay - great facilities for all the family - We loved the treasure hunt .shame the beer fridge wasn't working but we survived 😆

  • Catherine Lewis

    Lovely spacious accommodation with something for everyone. We visited with four generations and found the Haybarn perfect for us all.

  • Confirmed Guest

    Had a great stay with family visiting from abroad. The Haybarn was clean and tidy and ample accommodation for the 12 of us staying for the week. The location is excellent, with shops for groceries and local pubs in very close proximity. The "chilled" hottub was a treat during the hot weather. Sam was very friendly and helpful with any queries we had during the stay. An amazing spot and great location - hopefully we will be back.
