Me, my husband, our 10 y/o daughter and Pomeranian spent Christmas and NY here and it was just perfect. The barn is cosy and warm and has all the home comforts. The hot tub is always at a lovely & warm temperature to get into and is a perfect addition to the barn. The under floor heating is a revelation and the log burner has made us realise that we need one at home

The barn is so well done and so cosy and inviting. The location is perfect, tucked away in a little village surrounded by fields and animals and the added extra of a hot tub to come back to after a day of exploring was perfect. We will definitely be back again in the near future and have already been telling our friends/family about our lovely few days away. Thank you for having us x
