A lovely warm welcome! The barn was perfect for a girlie weekend away with the two ensuite bathrooms. We enjoyed saying hello to the ponies, sheep and goat, who were equally friendly. We loved the walk along the river from the door and stopping the watch the beautiful demoiselles (we didn't know what they were and to Google them) flitting around. James' produce shed just opposite was a bonus, the pickled onions and chilli jam are to die for!

The Barn was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Only two negative comments - There was no garden area to sit out of an evening, plus the showers, though easy to use and nice and hot, were difficult to get in and out as the door only gave a gap of just over 30 cm. larger people would not be able to use them.
