Owners Gillian and Steve were very helpful and provided us with plenty of logs. The only thing we would have found useful was a handle in the shower as it could get quite slippery when wet. We had a lovely holiday.

First impression was that it was a lot bigger than picture lead you to believe. Barn is cosy, well equipped everything you need. We were welcomed by Steve, who gave us a quick tour & summary. All I can say is that we would definitely would stay again. Thankyou Steve & Gillian

The barn is everything it says it is and we loved the hot tub and garden. Unfortunately whilst we were there our dog took ill but thanks to the useful information Gillian had left we were able to get her seen and after a few stressful days she slowly improved until she was back to normal. Gillian when she knew our dog was ill left her some cheese biscuits as that is what her dog likes this shows how kind they are as hosts. I would recommend this property to anyone as it is a fantastic place to stay . Thank you from Geoff, Sue and not forgetting Maisie
