A beautiful barn conversion set in a stunning location on a working farm. The owners, Rachel and Nigel have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. They are on hand if needed, but give you all the space you need to enjoy your holiday!There is plenty of space inside and outside and it was lovely to occasionally feed Nutty and Flash and see them enjoying the field next to the cottage.This was our third time staying at East Croft Barn and we have booked again for next year. We cannot recommend it highly enough! If you enjoy peace and quiet, privacy and access to some beautiful countryside, this is the place for you!
