Gorgeous barn which has been made with love. Sarah was incredibly helpful and the barn had everything you’d need for a wonderful stay. Cold nights by the wood fire were perfect

Beautiful accommodation with everything we needed for a weekend away. Sarah and the team have done an amazing job in restoring the barn to make it a lovely place to stay. We had plenty of space for 6 adults and a toddler, and wish we'd stayed longer!There was great communication from Sarah before, during, and after our stay, with any questions answered quickly, and we're already looking at returning for longer soon!Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.
