The Barn is a wonderful place to stay with everything you could need for your holiday. We had a few teething issues with the hot water but all sorted in the end. The village is very quiet and you need to drive everywhere but as long as you are prepared to do that it is in a great location with access to the A39 in a matter of minutes so easy enough to get to lots of different places. Another plus was being able to feed the lambs and rabbits on a morning and the just laid fresh eggs! We had a wonderful stay and would recommend for families.

Lovely holiday stay in this cottage. We stayed for a long weekend with our three young children and they had a lovely time. The cottage is extremely comfortable and very spacious. We joined a couple of day trips from the farm.
