We had a lovely break at The Old Barn. Location is ideal for lots of walks as well as pubs! Cottage itself is very spacious, we went as a couple and had more than enough space (comfortably fits 4 if not 5 adults). Owners are close by, lovely people and very happy to help if needed. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
