  • Anthony

    Beds were excellent for a restful night's sleep. The grounds were perfect to walk around with our little border terrier. Kitchen fully equipped if you want to eat in or nice pubs down the road if you fancy a bite out.

  • Ann

    Everything was provided by the owners to make our stay superbly comfortable. The spacious grounds surrounding the barn echoed the feeling of tranquility which was present in the thoughtfully designed interior. Our stay was far too brief to really appreciate the wealth of interesting places to visit in the area.

    Rodger and Sue (the owners) were very friendly, but not intrusive, and made us feel very welcome with some lovely personal touches. Everything was catered for, and the property was warm and comfortable. Unfortunately, the outside staircase could make it prohibitive for elderly residents with heavy luggage. However, we are senior citizens and managed them ok as our son was with us. Outside lighting made the property safe and accessible. The weather was also very kind, so we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
