The barn was immaculately clean. The bedding and towels smelt fresh and were good quality. Everything we needed was in the cupboards. The communication was great between us and the owner. They were available and quick to respond to questions. Highly recommended! We definitely would use again! Thankyou :)

Our 4 legged friend loved exploring the village. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on and the facilities were perfect for the few days we were there.

Understated from the outside but fabulous inside. Clean, modern interior, tastefully decorated and furnished. All facilities available. Towels and bed linen of highest quality. Hosts, Martin and Catherine, live on site, and were charming and helpful but not intrusive. Would highly recommend, definitely 5 stars.
