Everything we needed to enjoy our stay.Great outdoor seating areas including the bbq and outside dining area. Fantastic gardens to have stroll or have family play time.Views from the tower bedroom are superb.Great location for visiting around local attractions and further afield. We would certainly love to return one day.

It’s a beautiful old house with loads of space and comfortable seating both inside and out. We had a lovely weekend. The gardens are fabulous for children to play in and have adventures. The owners met us and were very kind. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great gas bbq with a shady seating area which was welcome in this hot weather. Must also mention the fabulous showers. Can’t think of anything which could have been improved.

Barleycombe is a very special house with a magical charm. The house is very comfortable - well equipped kitchen, spacious attractive bedrooms and lovely seating areas, both inside and out. Richard & Sue are very welcoming and more than willing to help. Would definitely recommend.
