We had a lovely week staying at Owl Barn The house was lovely and comfortable . The kitchen provided everything we needed too. The gardens and surroundings were stunning . We watched the sunrise and sunset, starry skies and owls hooting at night . A perfect place to unwind. The fenced off area for the doggies to play in off their leads was perfect and used every day . Our Hosts Sharon and Kathy were so friendly and helpful and understanding to our needs. Thank you both.

What a beautiful place! With great hosts. Everything was brilliant. The only teeny, tiny flag is the speed of the wifi which is really slow, but I suspect it’s because of the location - and who is here to use the wifi when you’ve got such beautiful surroundings, a lovely kitchen and breakfast bar, comfortable beds, lovely sofas, under floor heating. Stunning.
