Anthony
A very comfortable bed, slept well every night. Sofa could perhaps be more comfortable but not a big problem. We could find everything we needed except a pint glass! We found it to be in an ideal position for exploring the area, with most places of interest within about an hours drive. We would definitely recommend this property.

Very peaceful yet close to lots of interesting places.

No traffic or street lights, the birds dawn chorus, every needed piece of kitchen equipment supplied and the very important peace and quiet. Plenty of information regarding The Barn and food pubs in the manual. The first impression when entering is very tidy, comfortable and welcoming. The gardens are private and very well attended to. A return should be a promise.
