We only had the pleasure of staying 2 nights but wish we had more time! The property is very well kept and clean and beautifully decorated. Location wise as expected it's a village so nearest shops and restaurants are a drive away. Not many local restaurants but you can get takeaways and if your happy to drive then plenty of options out there. You cant just go out and walk I'm afraid the place is rural so you do need to take your car wherever you go.

The photos show a stunning property that delivered, to perfection. We fell in love with the barn the second we set foot in it! So, so clean and welcoming. There's so much to do here within just a 10 minute car radius. 30 minutes will easily keep you busy. Local produce and eateries are a delight. Strawberry Fields was a favourite for us and we'll definitely be returning. Kate, thank you so much for being the perfect host, helpful and kind but completely non obtrusive.

We really enjoyed our time there. Great rural location but also not far away to explore many nice places and areas. Owner Kate very friendly and letâs not forgot Nora, Kateâs cute little dog!
