    WOW! Absolutely stunning, the interior and layout of the Coach House/Piggery is fantastic We stayed with family over Christmas in the Big Barn. Julia and Anthony had thought of everything and we were able to cook a family Christmas lunch with ease and without worry, both were extremely accommodating , so much so that our Christmas food order arrived earlier than anticipated which Anthony promptly unpacked into the fridge for us. The fabulous welcome hamper was also a lovely touch. We needed a little bit of help with the hot tub but Anthony quickly showed us how to get it going and that along with the pizza oven and BBQ was a fabulous Christmas Eve treat! The furnishings are beautiful and the property and surroundings are beautifully kept. Not only were we sad to leave but our little Cockapoo was also sad to leave little Bertie behind too! Can't wait to come again in the summer. Thank you both for a fabulous Christmas getaway.

    What a wonderful week we had at The Big Barn! The location and setting is just perfect and tranquil. The barns are tastefully decorated and what an amazing welcome hamper. My whole family enjoyed their holiday and our dogs loved running around and certainly enjoyed their down time. We cannot thank Anthony and Julia enough for their hospitality, they certainly went out their way to make us feel so welcome. Don't forget the amazing braai (South African version for a BBQ) and the hot tub. Had a few visits to the local butcher... We will certainly be back.

    What a wonderful stay we have just returned from at Mount Pleasant Barns! I cannot recommend these beautiful barns highly enough. The interiors are designed with thought & care in such a peaceful location and far stretching views, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine on the patio, the owners are just lovely with great knowledge of the local area and best of all completely dog-friendly! We particularly loved our visits from Lottie & Bertie It was the perfect place for our first staycation as a family and cannot wait to return soon!
