There were three generations and a dog staying in Henry's Barn. We were welcomed with brownies and flowers. We all enjoyed the stay as we all were catered for. The swimming pool had loads of swimming toys we could borrow. the play barn has a pool table and table tennis table and then there was go carts and other toys available. There is a excellent Landry available. The county side is lovely and even when the dog rolled in cows poo we could use their hose pipe and dog towels to clean her. We will be going back for sure.
